  • Patent number: 11177026
    Abstract: A medical device data back-association system, apparatuses, and methods are disclosed. In an example embodiment, a server receives first medical device data from a medical device including a device identifier and stores the first medical device data to an unassociated record in a database after determining that there is no association between the device identifier and any patient identifier or medication order identifier. While the medical device is administering the medication to a patient, the server receives an identifier message including at least two of the device identifier, the patient identifier, and the medication order identifier. The server creates an identifier association between a medical record of the patient and the medical device using the identifier message. The server uses the identifier association to store subsequent medical device data from the medical device to the medical record of the patient.

  • Patent number: 11156312
    Abstract: Techniques for implementing a pipeline system that includes a pipe segment and a pipe fitting. The pipe segment includes tubing, which includes an inner barrier layer that defines a pipe bore, a reinforcement layer implemented around the inner barrier layer to define a fluid conduit, and an outer barrier layer implemented around the reinforcement layer, and a tensile clip secured to the tubing such that clip legs of the tensile clip are secured around the reinforcement layer. The pipe fitting includes electrofusion material implemented to define a fitting bore and a tubing cavity in which the tubing is to be secured and a tensile hook partially embedded within the electrofusion material such that a hook bend extends into the tubing cavity, in which the hook bend matingly interlock with a loop end of the tensile clip to facilitate transferring tensile force between the reinforcement layer and the pipe fitting.

  • Patent number: 11107222
    Abstract: A technique is disclosed for automating tracking of annotated objects and improves the throughput and efficiency of existing methods while maintaining a degree of accuracy comparable to a human annotator. In particular, the disclosed technique provides an automated annotated object tracking tool that allows machine-learning teams to annotate an object within a frame and have that annotation persist across frames as the annotated object is tracked within a series of frames, still ensuring that every frame is accurately reviewed by a human where high quality annotation is required. This technique incorporates human feedback via a user adjustment that allows the tool to adapt and improve its accuracy in tracking an annotated object across a sequence of frames.

  • Publication number: 20210239268
    Abstract: A gas and liquid separation system could be said to have a passage with an inlet connected to receive a mixed gas and liquid flow. An air separation tube extends into the passage at a location downstream of where the inlet is connected with an upstream tube end upstream in the passage relative to a downstream tube end. The upstream tube end provides an obstruction to the mixed gas and liquid flow, to cause separation of the gas from the mixed gas and liquid flow. A liquid tube is connected to the passage at a location downstream of the air separation tube.
