  • Publication number: 20240135391
    Abstract: A computer system for implementing a knowledge graph includes one or more processors and one or more computer-readable media having executable instructions stored thereon. The executable instruction, when executed by the one or more processors, configure the computer system to receive a digital file including a compliance file, which includes one or more levels of compliance processes in a hierarchical order, generate a knowledge graph from text within the digital file, receive a query regarding compliance to the digital file, calculate a metric between each node to a query vector of the query, and provide one more compliance paths to one or more target nodes based on metrics. The knowledge graph is generated by creating nodes based on one or more text entities within the digital file, creating edges based on relationships between the nodes within the digital file, and generating the knowledge graph based on the nodes and the edges.

  • Publication number: 20240118191
    Abstract: A method for stratifying a patient infected with a respiratory disease is disclosed. The method comprises providing (1510) a fluid sample (9) from the patient, producing (1520) a light signal from a laser (1), illuminating (1530) the fluid sample (9) with the light signal through a lens in a sensing probe (8), acquiring (1540) a spectrogram from the fluid sample (9), extracting (1550) a plurality of spectrogram features from the light signal, comparing (1560) the extracted plurality of spectrogram features with a model in a database to determine a degree of severity of the respiratory disease. A result is then output (1570) to indicate the degree of severity of the respiratory disease.

  • Publication number: 20220403722
    Abstract: A method of forecasting well production in an accurate and computational cost-efficient manner implementing a hybrid, iterative approach which is computationally efficient, numerically stable, and improves the accuracy of results. The iterative method of forecasting well production can estimate a set of scaling factor, determining the average adjusted pressure in the matrix, conductive reservoir volume, and oriented hydraulic fracture, applying an algorithm to convert the average adjusted pressure to an actual average pressure, using actual average reservoir pressure to estimate a new set of scaling factor, estimating a relative error based upon the new scaling factor, determining if the relative error is within a user-defined tolerance, and performing the above steps again if relative error is not within the user-defined tolerance or storing the new scaling factors. The new scaling factors can be used to determine a production rate.

  • Patent number: 9644213
    Abstract: A method of producing improved drought tolerance in a plant by introducing into a plant or plant part a vector having a nucleic acid molecule which expresses or increases a polypeptide that confers drought tolerance compared to a plant in which no vector with the nucleic acid is introduced. The polypeptide is a NON-RACE-SPECIFIC DISEASE RESISTANCE 1 (NDR1).
