Abstract: A controller of a machine identifies that a battery of the machine is connected to an electrical power connector component. The controller then causes one or more charging components of the battery of the machine to be enabled, then cause one or more electrical components associated with the battery of the machine to be enabled, then causes one or more cooling components of the machine to be enabled, then causes one or more propulsion components of the machine to be disabled, then causes one or more accumulator components of a hydraulic system of the machine to bleed, and then causes one or more non-accumulator components of the hydraulic system of the machine to be enabled. In this way, the controller causes the battery of the machine to enter into a charging state.

Users of the outcome system can supply and use the treatment and outcome information to facilitate diagnosis and therapy decisions. User interfaces within the system can be configured to allow users to easily locate outcome information associated with particular treatments of tumors having certain genomic alterations.

Abstract: According to some embodiments, an available algorithm data store may contain information about a pool of available algorithms. An algorithm selection platform coupled to the available algorithm data store may access the information about the pool of available algorithms and compare the information about each of the pool of available algorithms with at least one requirement associated with the current algorithm executing in the real environment. The algorithm selection platform may then automatically determine algorithm execution context information and, based on said comparison and the algorithm execution context information, select at least one of the pool of available algorithms as a potential replacement algorithm. An indication of the selected at least one potential replacement algorithm may then be transmitted (e.g., to be evaluated in a shadow environment by an algorithm evaluation platform).

Abstract: Method and apparatus for processing input information using an adaptable and continually learning neural network architecture comprising an encoder, at least one adaptor and at least one reconfigurator. The encoder, at least one reconfigurator and at least one adaptor determine whether the input information is out-of-distribution or in-distribution. If the input information is in distribution, the architecture extracts features from the input information, creates hyperdimensional vectors representing the features and classifies the hyperdimensional vectors. If the input information is out of distribution, the architecture creates at least one adaptor to operate with the encoder and the at least one reconfigurator to extract features from the input information, create hyperdimensional vectors representing the features and classify the hyperdimensional vectors.
