Abstract: A method for training and using an Length of Treatment (LOT) model can include selecting, from clinical data, patient visits of patients having a medical condition, determining, for each of the patients, days of medically necessary (DOMN) admission data for the medical condition, extracting, from the DOMN admission data for each patient visit, data points including start and end dates for the medical condition for each patient visit, and adding the respective patient visit with the extracted data points to a training preparation set. The training preparation set is transformed into a model training data set using feature engineering. The LOT model is trained using the model training data set and tested against a performance standard. This process can be repeated until the LOT model meets the performance standard. The trained and tested LOT model can be used to predict LOTs for patients having or potentially having the medical condition.

Abstract: A system for sorting heterogeneous materials into homogeneous output is disclosed. The system comprises a conveyor, at least one sensor, an ejection means, a multi-axis arm for accurately positioning the ejection means (and optionally, rotating the ejection means), and a processor that controls the actuation of the multi-axis arm and the actuation of the ejection means based upon sensor input acquired when the stream of heterogenous materials passes into an inspection region located underneath the sensor on the conveyor surface.

Abstract: Techniques for executing a service of a first online resource via a second online resource are described herein. For example, a computer system may receive, on a user interface at a user device to a second online resource, an item identifier, authentication data, and a first request for a first service of a first online resource. The computer system can determine an attribute of an item based on the item identifier indicating that the item is available via the second online resource and unavailable via the first online resource. The computer system can determine, based on the authentication data, that the first request is authenticated for a first user account with the first online resource. The computer system can cause execution of the first service to be initiated and send user information from the first user account to cause a presentation of the user information at the user interface.

Abstract: A disc for mounting on a disc shaft with a shaft axis is disclosed. The disc includes a leading face that pushes material along an axial conveyance direction that is parallel to the shaft axis. The leading face is constructed of a hard and durable structural material. The disc may also include a distal face/edge constructed of the pliable elastomeric material. The disc also includes a trailing face opposite to the leading face. The trailing face is constructed of a pliable elastomeric material. The discs may be of a wraparound construction or a clamshell construction. The discs can be use in a larger disc screen.

Abstract: A system for selectively opening flexible containers, such as plastic bags, in a mixed solid waste stream is disclosed, for use in Material Recovery Facilities (MRFs) or other contexts. The system may include a conveyor configured to transport waste, a sensor configured to detect the presence and position of flexible containers, and a multi-degree-of-freedom positioning device that moves a cutting tool relative to the containers. A processor, in communication with the sensor and positioning device, may calculate a cutting path and control the positioning device to execute the cutting operation. The system may utilize various cutting tools, including punches, blades, spades, shovels, and motorized saws, as well as non-contact fluid-based cutting technologies such as air or water jets. Additionally, the system can dynamically adjust the cutting trajectory based on real-time feedback and environmental conditions.

Abstract: A system for sorting mixed solid waste includes a rotating auger disc screen, air stream generator, and optionally adjustable tilt and motor speed. Waste is conveyed across a screen bed defined by spaced discs mounted to rotatable shafts, which are configured to create both axial and transverse movement, producing diagonal flow paths. An air stream is directed across the screen to propel light or flexible materials toward a proximal edge, while heavier, bouncing, or rigid items may exit along different edges or fall through the screen. The device is tunable to separate material into multiple output fractions based on mass, shape, and flow behavior. Discs and shafts may have non-round profiles and elastomeric surfaces to increase agitation and reduce wrapping. In some embodiments, airflow and tilt angle may be dynamically adjusted. The system concentrates maintenance-risk materials such as long, sharp, or wrapping items to improve downstream equipment protection.

Abstract: A prediction cycle controller queries a database for patient visits that are eligible for admit status prediction (ASP) and extracts, from the patient visits eligible for the ASP, ASP features and major diagnosis category (MDC) prediction features for each of the patient visits. The ASP features include observations of prediction-eligible patients of a healthcare provider. The MDC prediction features include data points for determining a MDC. The ASP features are provided to an admit status predictor which examines, utilizing a machine learning model, the observations of the prediction-eligible patients and generates an ASP for each prediction-eligible patient. The MDC prediction features are provided to an MDC predictor which examines the MDC prediction features and the ASP thus generated by the admit status predictor for each prediction-eligible patient and generates a MDC prediction (MDCP). The ASP and the MDCP are then presented, via a user interface, on a user device.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods for increasing the sensitivity of tumor cells to a TCR-engineered T cells (TCR-T) therapy comprising genetically modifying the tumor cells to express an haplotype, for example an HLA haplotype, different from the haplotype endogenous to the tumor cells.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an inner support catheter comprising an elongated catheter body with a distal region having a constrained linear shape and an unconstrained shape. The distal region includes a distal first section and a proximal second section that forms a major curve with the proximal second section in the unconstrained shape. In the unconstrained shape, the proximal second section lies substantially in a first reference plane, while the distal first section is positioned at least partially outside of the first reference plane. This configuration may allow for improved maneuverability and flexibility of the inner support catheter during medical procedures.

In some embodiments the system may gather data regarding one or more authentic hostnames on a network, and generate a pseudo hostname based on the gathered data. The system may then issue a network discovery request for the pseudo hostname. Based on a response to the network discovery request, the system may execute one or more remedial actions.
