Abstract: Technologies for clinical outcome predictive analysis include a computing device that extracts provider features from an assessment index that are indicative of relational characteristics of a care provider. The computing device determines a clinical outcome performance metric associated with the care provider. The computing device links the provider features and the performance metric in training data and trains a prediction model to predict an outcome score based on provider feature. A computing device may predict a predicted outcome score based on extracted provider features using the trained prediction model and normalize the predicted outcome score to a predicted outcome index. The computing device may monitor ongoing therapeutic alliance status data and predict a risk of alliance failure using a trained prediction model. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: A passenger compartment monitoring apparatus detects movements in the interior of a vehicle and triggers a vehicle alarm depending on a detected movement. The vehicle measures acceleration of the vehicle structure using an acceleration sensor and considers the measured acceleration value for operating the passenger compartment monitoring apparatus. The vehicle determines a parking status and activates the passenger compartment monitoring apparatus if a parked status has been determined. The vehicle suppresses a vehicle alarm to be output on detection of a movement in the interior if the vehicle detects acceleration excitation of the vehicle structure at the same time as detecting the movement in the interior.

Abstract: This disclosure describes a method for producing a functional element that includes a substrate made substantially of a polymer. On at least one surface of the substrate, there is at least one zone with a distinct surface texture. The method involves irradiating a specific surface region of the substrate with laser radiation during a laser-processing step. This irradiation induces a change in the volume of the polymer near the surface, caused by the interaction between the laser radiation and the polymer. The result is a permanent change of the surface texture within the targeted zone. The substrate is composed of a hydrous polymer, and the process is optimized by selecting a working wavelength of the laser-processing operation such that the polymer's degree of absorption is appropriate. This selection is based on a functional relationship among the laser wavelength, the polymer's water content, and its absorption characteristics, ensuring precise surface modification.
