  • Publication number: 20250028766
    Abstract: A data-driven, unsupervised system (“owner inference module”) has been created that collects information from different data sources and infers ownership of an asset by discerning signals conveying ownership and using them to identify likely owners of assets. The owner inference module creates a graph of direct and indirect relationships among the asset and entities based on the collected information (i.e., the data and metadata). The owner inference module processes the graph and accounts for the varying strengths of different ownership signals based on any one or more of observations, expert knowledge, and preferences. The owner inference module quantifies the different signals of ownership of an entity and aggregates these values into an ownership likelihood score.

  • Publication number: 20240374821
    Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for detecting remaining battery voltage or capacity in an infusion device and generating alarms based on the detection. A battery lifetime extension method includes providing an infusion device that derives its power from a rechargeable battery. The infusion device may derive its power from a rechargeable battery. Furthermore, the infusion device receives, at predetermined intervals of time in real-time sensor data comprising a voltage, a change in the voltage over the predetermined interval of time, an average current, a temperature, and a remaining voltage or capacity reported by a battery gas gauge integrated circuit (“IC”) associated with the rechargeable battery. A customized neural network model utilizes the sensor data to determine an indicia of the actual remaining voltage or capacity of the rechargeable battery in real-time. The indicia may be used to lengthen and/or abate ongoing medical infusion therapy.
