Abstract: An example method may include predicting one or more time slots for performing medical procedures in a hospital for a pre-determined time period by applying a trained artificial intelligence model on real-time operating room scheduling data associated with the hospital. One of the predicted time slots for performing a medical procedure on a patient in the hospital is allocated in response to a request for scheduling the medical procedure on the patient. The medical procedure is scheduled in one of a plurality of operating rooms associated with the hospital based on the allocated time slot when the operating room becomes available for performing the medical procedure.

Abstract: A filter plate press with a plurality of filter plates. A resilient diaphragm is provided on one side only of each filter plate and hot water or steam can be passed between the diaphragm and the adjacent filter plate. Each filter plate has a steel core to provide high heat transfer, such that heated fluid between a diaphragm and a respective plate heats the filter chamber on the opposite side of the respective filter plate.
