  • Patent number: 12159477
    Abstract: A tiered processing scheme for processing image data is provided. A method can include obtaining image data indicative of one or more court judgment(s) with a number of features. The method can include obtaining judgment information from the image data by applying a number of image processing techniques in accordance with a processing hierarchy tailored to the image data. The image data can be classified by a machine-learning model and the processing hierarchy can be determined based on the classification. The processing hierarchy balances the computing resources used by a respective technique with the accuracy afforded by the technique when applied to image data with a respective classification. A computing system can utilize the processing hierarchy to leverage different image processing techniques in a tiered processing scheme tailored to image data.

  • Publication number: 20240389980
    Abstract: Systems and methods of 3D ultrasound imaging with one or more “thick-slice” 3D ultrasound imaging zones and one or more 2D ultrasound zones using a multi-zone, multi-frequency image reconstruction scheme with subzone blending. The first zone can be a thick-slice imaging zone and the second and third zones are 2D imaging zones. The first zone and the second zone can be thick-slice imaging zones and the third zone can be a 2D imaging zone. The first zone can be a 2D imaging zone, the second zone can be a thick-slice imaging zone and the third zone can be a 2D imaging zone. A method includes imaging a first zone using plane wave imaging, a second zone using tissue harmonic imaging, and a third zone using fundamental and subharmonic deep imaging. The depth of each zone can vary based on the ultrasonic array and the F # used for imaging the zone.

  • Publication number: 20240386455
    Abstract: A facility for automatically assessing referrals is described. The facility discerns first information about a referral by a referrer for a subject property being processed by a referral system. The discerned information includes a property jurisdiction of the referral in which the subject property is located, a referrer jurisdiction of the referral, and a category of service of the referral. The facility identifies one or more referral rule representations stored in a rule store for the discerned property jurisdiction. The facility applies the identified one or more referral rule representations to the discerned first information to obtain a determination regarding the compliance of the referral with referral rules to which the identified one or more referral rule representations correspond. The facility acts in response to the determination.

  • Patent number: 12053542
    Abstract: The instant disclosure generally relates to a multicomponent composition for coloring mammalian or synthetic substrate material and textiles, the composition comprising a first and second components and a third component. The first and second components comprise first and second silicone polymers respectively. Any one or more of the first, second and third components may also comprise pigment microparticles. The first, second and third compounds meld together on substrate material and textiles and especially on hair to form a highly remanent colored coating. The multicomponent composition formed and set in situ as a solid linked coating has a substantially permanent pigment lastingness and minimally alters the substrate material and textiles.

  • Patent number: 12002560
    Abstract: A fluid injector system has a controller for operably controlling the injection of contrast and/or saline into a patient. The controller allows a user to program a diagnostic injection procedure having one or more phases according to which the contrast and/or saline will be injected into the patient so as to effect enhancement of a region thereof during an imaging procedure. It further allows the user to program a test injection procedure to be performed prior to the diagnostic injection procedure. The test injection procedure is implementable as: (a) a variable single phase test injection in which the rate at which the saline is to be delivered is selectable prior to and may be varied during performance thereof; and/or (b) a multi-phase test injection in which the rate at which the saline is to be delivered is selectable for each phase of the multi-phase test injection prior to performance thereof.
