  • Patent number: 11790680
    Abstract: Techniques are described for collecting descriptions of an entity from different data sources and using a numeric comparison and textual centrality measure to automatically select a best description. In one implementation, a method includes: retrieving a real property description dataset, the real property description dataset including descriptions from multiple data sources that describe the real property; extracting, from each of the descriptions, numbers that identify the property; performing a numerical comparison of the numbers extracted from each of the descriptions to determine if any descriptions needs to be discarded from further consideration; applying a text cleaning process to normalize the descriptions; and performing a textual centrality measure of remaining descriptions to determine a level agreement of each of the remaining descriptions with each of the other remaining descriptions; and using at least the textual centrality measure to select a description.

  • Patent number: 10813582
    Abstract: An automated medical apparatus for providing medical care in remote areas to a patient is provided. The apparatus includes a container having corrugated steel enclosure on all sides and transportable using a standardized commercial shipping mechanism, the container having a door with a handle and lock mechanism for secure entry and secure accommodation of the patient for treatment. The container has integrated into an inner ceiling side of the container, a plurality of automated dispensers, the dispensers configured for dispensing sterilization material upon determining by the apparatus that the door has been opened and closed, a first time and a second time respectively, such that the patient is assumed to have completed the treatment and exited the container. Further, the apparatus includes a power management device, a processor, a medical device interface, and a patient interface.
