  • Patent number: 11408174
    Abstract: A voided floor panel is provided. The voided floor panel includes a pre-cast dome, strands, reinforcing bars, and a slab. The pre-cast dome includes a flange portion, stem portions, and joint portions. The strands are pre-tensioned. The reinforcing bars are inserted through rebar block-outs of the pre-cast dome. The joint portions, the strands, and the reinforcing bars are cast within the slab. The strands improve a resistance of the slab to flexure. The joint portions improve a vertical shear resistance between the slab and the pre-cast dome. The joint portions may include corrugated dovetails for further improving a horizontal shear resistance between the slab and the pre-cast dome.

  • Patent number: 11379771
    Abstract: When a user of an interface system defines a workflow, the interface system transmits a notification to a user that is to perform the first step of the workflow. When the user requests to initiate the step of the workflow, the interface system creates a transaction for the workflow step. The user signs the transaction using a cryptographic key pair. The interface system receives the signed transaction and verifies the signature. Once the signature is verified, the step can be performed. The interface system forwards the transaction to a data storage system for storing. For performing the next step in the workflow, the data storage system identifies the user that is to perform the next workflow step. The data storage system creates a notification that identifies the user and the notification is provided to the user. The process repeats until each step of the workflow is performed.

  • Patent number: 11204110
    Abstract: Movable pipe supports are described herein. A movable pipe support can include a pipe support apparatus body having a slot sized to accommodate a first end of a lever arm positioned such that it extends through the slot, a pipe support structure attached to the first end of the lever arm and having an outer surface for contacting an outer surface of the pipe, and a pivot mechanism to allow the outer surface of the pipe support structure to continue to be in contact with the outer surface of the pipe while the pivot mechanism moves the outer surface of the pipe support structure along the outer surface of the pipe.

  • Patent number: 10991093
    Abstract: In accordance with some embodiments, systems, methods and media for generating a bone age assessment. In some embodiments, a method comprises: receiving an x-ray image of a subject's left hand and wrist; converting the image to a predetermined size; identifying, without user intervention, a first portion of the image corresponding to the hand and wrist; processing the first portion of the image to increase contrast between bones and non-bones to generate a processed image; causing a trained convolution neural network to determine a bone age based on the processed image; receiving an indication of the bone age; causing the bone age to be presented to a user as the result of a bone age assessment; and causing the bone age and the image to be stored in an electronic medical record associated with the subject.

  • Patent number: 10410018
    Abstract: A data integrity system generates a transaction signature associated with a transaction based on transaction data received from a data producer. The transaction signature is unique to the transaction and is generated by applying a hash function to the transaction data. When the transaction data is to be transmitted to a data consumer, the data integrity system redacts the transaction data based on permission information associated with the data consumer and transmits the redacted transaction data to the data consumer. To enable the data consumer to verify the integrity of the received data, the data integrity system also transmits a cryptographic assurance that includes at least the transaction signature associated with the transaction. The data consumer verifies the integrity of the received data by independently generating a transaction signature based on the redacted transaction data and matching the independently generated signature with the transaction signature in the cryptographic assurance.

  • Patent number: 9213590
    Abstract: Techniques are provided for monitoring and diagnosis of a network comprising one or more devices. In some embodiments, techniques are provided for gathering network information, analyzing the gathered information to identify correlations, and for diagnosing a problem based upon the correlations. The diagnosis may identify a root cause of the problem. In certain embodiments, a computing device may be configurable to determine a first event from information, allocate a first event to a first cluster, the first cluster is from one or more clusters of events, based on a set of attributes for the first event, and determine a set of attributes for the first cluster, and rank the first cluster against the other clusters from the one or more clusters of events based on the set of attributes for the first cluster. The set of attributes may be indicative of the relationship between events in the cluster.
