Abstract: Systems and methods for re-using content in a content management system. The content management system may have two or more repositories. A link document may be generated in a link repository for a source document in a source repository. The link document may be a copy of the source document, and synchronized to the source document in a number of different ways, dynamically or statically. When the source document is updated, the source repository may notify the link repository about the change, receive a pull request from the link repository for the change, and generate an updated link document. A static copy of the link document may be created to prevent further changes to the link document for business or compliance purposes.

Abstract: In clinical documentation, mere documentation of a condition in a patient's records may not be enough. To be considered sufficiently documented, the patient's record needs to show that no documentation drop-offs (DDOs) have occurred over the course of the patient's stay. However, DDOs can be extremely difficult to detect. To solve this problem, the invention trains time-sensitive deep learning (DL) models on a per condition basis using actual and/or synthetic patient data. Utilizing an ontology, grouped concepts can be generated on the fly from real-time hospital data and used to generate time-series data that can then be analyzed by trained time-sensitive DL models to determine whether a DDO for a condition has occurred during the stay. Non-time-sensitive models can be used to detect all the conditions documented during the stay. Outcomes from the models can be compared to determine whether to notify a user that a DDO has occurred.

Abstract: Carbon fiber composites containing lignin carbon fibers are described. The lignin carbon fibers can be derived from organosolv lignin obtained from single source lignocellulosic feedstocks or combinations of such feedstocks or lignin obtained via other pulping or extraction methods. Also described are methods of preparing the carbon fiber composites.

Abstract: A robotic transport system including a drive section connected to a frame, an articulated arm operably coupled to the drive section providing the articulated arm with arm motion in at least one axis of motion moving at least a portion of the articulated arm in a collaborative space, corresponding to the frame, from a first location to another different location in the collaborative space, the articulated arm having an end effector with a workpiece grip having workpiece engagement members engaging and holding a workpiece during workpiece transport, by the arm motion in the at least one axis of motion, wherein at least one of the workpiece engagement members is frangible compliant, having a frangible compliant coupling between a distal portion of the at least one of the workpiece engagement members and a base portion of the end effector from which the at least one of the workpiece engagement members depends.

Abstract: Systems and methods for exchanging clinical data among parties involved in a clinical trial. The system comprises a clinical data exchange controller, a first repository and a second repository. Repository configuration information comprises: a connection to a target repository, scope of capacities, and a rule set. Repository configuration information for the first repository is received at the first repository, and repository configuration information for the second repository is received at the second repository. When there is a change defined in the rule set happened in the first repository, a request for data transfer is sent to the clinical data exchange controller, and the clinical data exchange controller then transfers the data to the target repository based on the rule set.

Abstract: An apparatus and method of transmitting a plurality of polarized signals having different wavelengths through a length of signal transmission cable which changes the polarization of the signals in correspondence with their amplitudes and wavelengths. A dynamic filter capable of differential adjustment of the amplitudes of the signals and a polarizing element are provided in series with the length of signal transmission cable and the amplitudes of the different wavelength signals are so adjusted that the polarization states of the signals move towards alignment with the low-loss axis of the polarizing element. An advantage provided by the apparatus and method is that the high-amplitude signals are aligned with the low-loss axis of the polarizing element while low-amplitude noise is aligned with the high-loss axis of the polarizing element, resulting in an improvement in signal-to-noise ratio.
