  • Systems and Methods For Event Tracking
    Publication number: 20250036607
    Abstract: The present system pertains to event tracking, involving the acquisition of event information, generation of compound hashes, and formation of a search data structure. Event information includes time-and-geolocation data and topic data for each event. Compound hashes, comprising a spacetime hash and a topic hash for each event, are generated based on this information. A search data structure is formed using these compound hashes, enabling the grouping of spacetime hashes and structuring of topic hashes. Upon receiving a query, the system executes a search based on the query's compound hash or parameters, returning matching event content. The system can also generate semantic descriptions of relevant events using a narrative generation model and predict event relevance using a preferential learning model.

  • Foam surface end of life indication
    Patent number: 10758440
    Abstract: A patient support apparatus includes a frame, a support surface, and a sensor. The frame and the support surface cooperate to support a patient. The sensor is coupled to one of the frame and the support surface and is configured to provide an input signal indicative of usage of the support surface by the patient.
