Abstract: A modular assembly for a fuel-cell vehicle is configured to connect to a bracket arranged along a longitudinal frame of the vehicle. The modular frame can include one or more components for powering the vehicle, including one or more of a fuel cell, a battery, a battery cooling system, and hydrogen storage tanks. The modular assembly can communicate with the fuel-cell vehicle through standard integration components regardless of the particular components in the modular assembly. The modular assembly can be readily removed from the fuel-cell vehicle and replaced with a different modular assembly containing different components.

Abstract: A transcription service may receive a request from a developer to build a custom speech-to-text model for a specific domain of speech. The custom speech-to-text model for the specific domain may replace a general speech-to-text model or add to a set of one or more speech-to-text models available for transcribing speech. The transcription service may receive a training data and instructions representing tasks. The transcription service may determine respective schedules for executing the instructions based at least in part on dependencies between the tasks. The transcription service may execute the instructions according to the respective schedules to train a speech-to-text model for a specific domain using the training data set. The transcription service may deploy the trained speech-to-text model as part of a network-accessible service for an end user to convert audio in the specific domain into texts.

Abstract: Methods and systems using magnetic resonance and ultrasound for tracking anatomical targets for radiation therapy guidance are provided. One system includes a patient transport configured to move a patient between and into a magnetic resonance (MR) system and a radiation therapy (RT) system and an ultrasound transducer coupled to the patient transport, wherein the ultrasound transducer is configured to acquire four-dimensional (4D) ultrasound images concurrently with one of an MR acquisition or an RT radiation therapy session. The system also includes a controller having a processor configured to use the 4D ultrasound images and MR images from the MR system to control at least one of a photon beam spatial distribution or intensity modulation generated by the RT system.

Abstract: A system to generate a response to a text-based natural language message includes a user interface, processing device, and a computer-readable storage medium storing executable instructions to generate the response to the text-based natural language message. The instructions and a method for generating the response include identifying a sentence in the text-based natural language message, identifying an input clause in the sentence, and parsing the input clause, thereby defining a relationship between words in the input clause. The instructions and method also include assigning a semantic tag to the parsed input clause, comparing the input clause to a previously received clause, the previously received clause being correlated with a previously generated response clause, and generating an output response message derived from the previously generated response clause.

Abstract: An imaging workflow system includes a workstation for acquiring patient information and requesting a patient scan. The request for a patient scan includes scan information for performing the scan. A registration module receives the scan information and the patient information. The registration module automatically schedules the patient scan based on the scan information and the patient information. The registration module determines an imaging protocol based on the patient information and the scan information. An imaging module within an imaging system receives the imaging protocol. The imaging module automatically sets scan parameters based on the imaging protocol. The imaging system scans the patient based on the scan parameters to acquire image data. A user interface controls the patient scan. The user interface includes a display to display images generated from the acquired image data.

Abstract: In accordance with various embodiments of the present invention, the electronic device checks whether a viewing application capable of rendering augmented reality (AR) is present in the electronic device. If such a viewing application is present, the viewing application identifies any augmented reality (AR) markers present in the physical document. On identifying an AR marker in the document, the viewing application (or the electronic device) fetches relevant content from a predefined source and displays the relevant content to the user. The relevant content may be any of a chart, a 3D chart, a report, a video recording, and so forth. In case the viewing application is not already present, the electronic device downloads the viewing application from a predefined location.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method and system for identifying critical emails. To identify critical emails, a critical email classifier is trained from training data comprising labeled emails. The classifier extracts N-grams from the training data and identifies N-gram features from the extracted N-grams. The classifier also extracts salient features from the training data. The classifier is trained based on the identified N-gram features and the salient features so that the classifier can classify unlabeled emails as critical emails or non-critical emails.
