Abstract: A machine learning model for stratification of early diabetic foot complication using thermogram images is provided that is operable to predictively diagnose a risk for diabetic foot ulceration formation via receiving a thermogram of a foot; identifying, via a machine learning model, a risk factor of diabetic foot ulceration on the foot; and outputting, from the machine learning model, the risk factor as a diagnosis.

Abstract: A fluid dynamic bearing is provided having a first surface having at least a first groove pattern formed therein; and the second surface having at least a second groove pattern formed therein; wherein one of the surfaces is configured to be rotated relative to the other surface. The groove patterns may be conventional patterns or patterns described herein. Further, the patterns discussed herein may be disposed wholly on each surface or may be divided between the two surfaces. The groove design is intended to be useable in either a journal, thrust or other fluid bearing design.

Abstract: To reduce the whirling air vortices which are normally formed at the disc tip, the outer edge of the disc surface may be gradually thinned down to a sharp tip. An alternative approach, the disc tip is gradually reduced in width and rounded at its outer edge. A flow obstruction may be incorporated in the shroud adjacent the edge of the disc tip. This obstruction may comprise a small substantially rectangular insert extending from the inner edge of the housing. Or, the inner surface of the portion of the housing adjacent the ends of the disc may incorporate grooves therein. These grooves, which are roughly herringbone in shape, and would have their center near either the edge of disc in a single disc environment or mid-way between the disc in a two disc environment.

Abstract: A method and system for providing configurable data services for mobile stations allows mobile stations to select the type and content of data messages addressed to a mobile station. The method includes establishing an active profile associated with a corresponding mobile station. A wireless data server receives a data message addressed to the mobile station. The active profile for the mobile station is accessed to determine applicable stored profile attributes for the mobile station to which the received data message is addressed. The wireless data server detects received profile attributes associated with the received data message. Filtering is applied to the received data message in real-time based on a comparison between the detected profile attributes and the stored profile attributes. The detected profile attributes are readily standardized in accordance with standards followed by the content service provider in order to gain access to the mobile service subscribers.
