  • Publication number: 20260087077
    Abstract: A method, system, and non-transitory computer readable medium includes generating, using a machine learning model, a summary of relevant data scraped from online news data and extracting topics from the summary of the relevant data. Then the method can include identifying suggested content offerings based on context data. The suggested content offerings can be aligned with the extracted topics and the context data can be received from a computing device. Then the method can include generating a communication based on a prompt. The prompt can be generated using the context data, the topics, the suggested content offerings, or combinations thereof. Lastly, the method can include providing, by the computing device to a client device, a graphical user interface comprising the communication.

  • Patent number: 12397176
    Abstract: Described is a method of determining whether repair or replacement of an electron gun of a radiotherapy device should be scheduled. The radiotherapy device comprises a linear accelerator and is configured to provide therapeutic radiation to a patient. The radiotherapy device comprises a vacuum tube comprising the electron gun, a waveguide configured to accelerate electrons emitted by the electron gun toward a target to produce said radiation. The radiotherapy device comprises also comprises a current sensor, the current sensor being configured to provide signals indicative of current supplied to the electron gun. The method comprises receiving a current value, processing the current value, and based on the processing of the current value, determining whether repair or replacement of the electron gun should be scheduled.

  • Patent number: 11565132
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method of determining the nature of a fault in a radiotherapy device comprising a linear accelerator. The radiotherapy device is configured to provide therapeutic radiation to a patient. The radiotherapy device comprises a vacuum tube comprising an electron gun, a waveguide configured to accelerate electrons emitted by the electron gun toward a target to produce said radiation, and a flight tube. The electron gun is located at a first end of the vacuum tube and the flight tube is located at a second end of the vacuum tube. The radiotherapy device further comprises a first and a second sensor. The first sensor is configured to provide signals indicative of pressure at a first region inside the vacuum tube and the second sensor is configured to provide signals indicative of pressure at a second region inside the vacuum tube. The first region is closer to the first end of the vacuum tube than the second region is.

  • Patent number: 11137210
    Abstract: A heat exchanger includes a header and a side plate. The header has a face plate that defines a plurality of orifices. The header has a protrusion that extends outward from the header and down such that a gap is formed between the header and the protrusion. An external portion of the protrusion is configured to break away from the header during thermal expansion. The side plate is disposed adjacent to an array of alternating tubes and fins. Each tube extends into one of the orifices of the plurality of orifices. The side plate has an end that is secured to the external portion of the protrusion.
