Publication number: 20240144356Abstract: Techniques are described herein for selecting, curating, normalizing, enriching, and synthesizing the results of user experience (UX) tests. In some embodiments, a system receives input defining or modifying a theme schema for classifying results of user experience tests. Responsive to receiving the input, the system trains a themer model based at least in part on example classifications in a training dataset, where the classifications map results to themes within the theme schema. When a new set of results for a user experience test is received, the trained machine learning model may generate a set of predicted themes to classify the test results. The output of the model may be used to render user interfaces and/or trigger other actions directed to optimizing a product's design.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 4, 2022Publication date: May 2, 2024Applicant: WEVO, INC.Inventors: Dustin Garvey, Shannon Walsh, Frank Chiang, Janet Muto, Nitzan Shaer, Charlie Hoang, Hannah Sieber, Nick Montaquila, Jessica Yau, Joseph Gibson, Mary McMurray, Laurie Delaney, Andrea Paola Aguilera García, Alexa Stewart

Publication number: 20240144107Abstract: Techniques are described herein for selecting, curating, normalizing, enriching, and synthesizing the results of user experience (UX) tests. In some embodiments, a system identifies a set of expectation elements associated with one or more UX tests. An expectation element may specify, using unstructured data that does not conform to a schema, an expectation for a user experience and a respective outcome for the user experience. A themer model may generate predictions that map the respective expectation elements to a theme from a theme schema, which may include a plurality of themes. A selector model may generate selection scores for the expectation elements. The predicted themes and selection scores may be used to render user interfaces and/or trigger other actions directed to optimizing a product's design.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 2, 2022Publication date: May 2, 2024Applicant: WEVO, INC.Inventors: Dustin Garvey, Shannon Walsh, Frank Chiang, Janet Muto, Nitzan Shaer, Charlie Hoang, Hannah Sieber, Nick Montaquila, Jessica Yau, Joseph Gibson, Mary McMurray, Laurie Delaney, Andrea Paola Aguilera García, I, Alexa Stewart

Publication number: 20060089653Abstract: A combination cutting and spacer guide has a cutting block portion and a guide arm portion. The cutting block portion has a cutting guide slot and holes to receive pins or drills for mounting the combination cutting and spacer guide to the femur. The cutting guide portion also has a cutting guide slot defining the distal femoral resection plane. The guide arm portion has a planar femoral and tibial surfaces and an elongate slot between the surfaces. A shim has a shim arm with contact surfaces for contacting part of the guide arm and part of one of the bones of the knee and a mounting member connected to the shim arm. The shim arm mounting member is receivable in the elongate slot of the guide arm to mount the shim to the guide arm to adjust the level of the femoral resection plane.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 27, 2003Publication date: April 27, 2006Inventors: Daniel Auger, Mary Stewart, Gary Fenton, Steven Ingleson-Mace, David Thomas, Frederic Turquier

Patent number: 6277556Abstract: A new citrate-based anticoagulant for donor whole blood provides good platelet yield and cell morphology at a significantly reduced risk of donor paresthesia during apheresis procedures. The primary citrate anticoagulant compositions include a citric acid to total citrate ratio greater than about 30%. The anticoagulants are mixed with whole blood to provide an anticoagulated blood mixture which contains a citric acid concentration of greater than about 5.0 mM, a total citrate concentration of less than about 20 mM, and an initial blood pH of less than about 6.75. The platelet rich products including PRP and PC prepared from blood collected in accordance with the invention exhibit better platelet yields and better platelet morphology on storage.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 1998Date of Patent: August 21, 2001Assignee: Baxter International Inc.Inventors: Gerald A.

Patent number: 5128048Abstract: Systems and methods of collecting blood cells use a first container connected to initially collect blood. A filtration system is provided that uses two flow paths, the first being a dual purpose path that is initially used to convey plasma and platelets to a pair of transfer/storage containers. A second flow path leads to a temporary transfer container through a filtration device. The dual purpose fluid path is next used to convey blood cells, now substantially free of undesired matter, from the temporary storage container to a storage container. The filtration system is then detached from the blood collection system.Type: GrantFiled: May 22, 1991Date of Patent: July 7, 1992Assignee: Baxter International Inc.Inventors: Mary A. Stewart, Kenneth Johnson

Patent number: 4997577Abstract: Systems and methods of collecting blood cells, substantially free of undesired matter, use a first container, that forms a part of a blood collection system, to initially collect a quantity of blood cells. A filtration system is then attached to the first container. The filtration system includes a second container, a first fluid path that leads to the second container through a filtration device, and a second fluid path that leads to the second container bypassing the filtration device. The blood cells are conveyed from the first container through the first fluid path and filtration device and into the second container to separate the undesired matter from the blood cells. The blood cells, now substantially free of the undesired matter, are then conveyed from the second container through the second fluid path, bypassing the filtration device, and back into the first container. The filtration system is then detached from the blood collection system.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 1989Date of Patent: March 5, 1991Assignee: Baxter International Inc.Inventor: Mary A. Stewart
