Abstract: Systems and methods for model evaluation. A protected class model that satisfies an accuracy threshold is built by using: data sets for use by a modeling system being evaluated, and protected class membership information for each data set. A target for the protected class model is a protected class membership variable indicating membership in a protected class. Each predictor of the protected class model is a predictor of an evaluated model used by the modeling system. A target of the evaluated model is different from the target of the protected class model. Each predictor is a set of one or more variables of the data sets. For each predictor of the protected class model, a protected class model impact ranking value and a modeling system impact ranking value are determined.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided in which an intraoperative video feed is augmented with one or more virtual display features based on a detected orientation and position of the tracked medical instrument. In some example embodiments, the virtual display features may be employed to represent, in an augmented video feed, information associated with a previously-detected intraoperative position and orientation of the tracked medical instrument. The virtual display element may be employed, for example, to facilitate the alignment of an untracked medical instrument with a previously determined intraoperative position and orientation of the tracked medical instrument. In other example embodiments, the virtual display element may be dynamically displayed in a fixed spatial relationship relative to the tracked medical instrument.

Abstract: Techniques for improved resupply for medical items are provided. An event relating to resupply of one or more medical items for a patient is identified. The resupply requires approval from a physician. A request for electronic approval of the resupply is transmitted, based on the event, to an electronic healthcare system for the physician. This includes dynamically generating an electronic document relating to the required approval, providing the electronic document to the electronic healthcare system for the physician, and receiving an electronic message response from the electronic healthcare system for the physician indicating approval for the request. The electronic healthcare system for the physician is compatible with the request for electronic approval of the resupply. Resupply of the one or more medical items is initiated based on the response. The one or more medical items are used to treat the patient.

Abstract: Top-of-rack (TOR) switches are connected to a network fabric of a data center. Each TOR switch corresponds to a rack of the data center, and is configured to provide access to the network fabric for computing devices mounted in the rack. In one method, a TOR switch is mounted in a rack. The TOR switch is connected to a network fabric of a data center. A lock is used to control physical access to the rack. A request to physically access the rack is received from a computing device (e.g., a badge implementing a security token, or a mobile device). The request includes authentication credentials. The computing device is then authenticated. In response to authenticating the computing device, the lock is configured to provide physical access to the rack.

Abstract: An apparatus for supporting a user includes a faceplate, an arm, a bridge, and a base. The bridge is rotatably attached to the faceplate to allow the faceplate to be pivotably adjusted. The bridge includes a hub with first and second hub bodies. Locking pins on the hub bodies slidingly engage pivot adjustment holes in first and second pivot adjustment rings. First and second buttons can be depressed to slide the hub bodies inwardly to separate the locking pins from the pivot adjustment holes to allow the hub to rotate, thereby allowing the faceplate to pivot. When the buttons are released, the hub bodies slide outwardly to insert the locking pins into the same or different pivot adjustment holes to prevent the hub from rotating.
