  • Patent number: 11935634
    Abstract: A system for predicting and summarizing medical events from electronic health records includes a computer memory storing aggregated electronic health records from a multitude of patients of diverse age, health conditions, and demographics including medications, laboratory values, diagnoses, vital signs, and medical notes. The aggregated electronic health records are converted into a single standardized data structure format and ordered arrangement per patient, e.g., into a chronological order. A computer (or computer system) executes one or more deep learning models trained on the aggregated health records to predict one or more future clinical events and summarize pertinent past medical events related to the predicted events on an input electronic health record of a patient having the standardized data structure format and ordered into a chronological order.

  • Patent number: 11922412
    Abstract: A system for data object compression and reduction includes to implement, in accordance with obtained optimization constraint data, an optimization procedure configured to determine an optimal set of adjustments to a set of data objects that maximizes reduction of both a data set aggregate magnitude and a data link composite magnitude for at least one pair of a plurality of data sources, the optimal set of adjustments including an offset of multiple data objects of data objects of same data object type and opposite polarity, and to store data indicative of the optimal set of adjustments to the set of data objects.

  • Patent number: 10409567
    Abstract: Techniques are described herein that are capable of trimming unused dependencies using a package graph and a module graph. For instance, the package graph and the module graph may be traversed to determine whether dependencies of an application are used during execution of the application. A version of the application may be configured to include the dependencies that are used and to not include the dependencies that are not used. For instance, the version of the application may be configured to be utilized at deployment time.

  • Patent number: 9590310
    Abstract: Typical consumer-grade terrestrial television antennas use simple flat plates in a dipole configuration. Reception is enhanced by elevating the antenna for better line of sight to the broadcast antenna, which often necessitates locating the antenna in the attic of a building or on the roof in the where it is exposed to the weather. The antenna disclosed is uses antenna elements that are substantially planar, have a unique shape that improves reception, and allows for compact packaging in a weatherproof case.

  • Publication number: 20120071105
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for detecting the presence of electronic communications devices, such as cellular phones, are disclosed. In an exemplary method, a complex radio frequency stimulus is transmitted into a target area, and nonlinear reflection signals received from the target area are processed to obtain a response measurement. The response measurement is compared to a pre-determined filter response profile to detect the presence of a radio device having a corresponding filter response characteristic. In some embodiments, the pre-determined filter response profile comprises a pre-determined band-edge profile, so that comparing the response measurement to a pre-determined filter response profile comprises comparing the response measurement to the pre-determined band-edge profile to detect the presence of a radio device having a corresponding band-edge characteristic.

  • Publication number: 20110210895
    Abstract: A covert antenna or radio frequency probe assembly for a motor vehicle includes a substantially planar antenna or probe element including a sheet of electrically conductive material, a first dielectric substrate, and a second dielectric substrate. A connector is coupled to the antenna element and is adapted to supply electrical energy to the antenna or probe element from an electrical power source. The antenna or probe element is disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate, and the first substrate is bonded to the second substrate to form a substantially planar antenna or probe assembly. The antenna or probe assembly has the form of a motor vehicle mud guard or another substantially planar motor vehicle component.

  • Patent number: 6254037
    Abstract: A variable gradient control stick force feel adjustment system for use in aircraft is disclosed. A gradient actuator is operationally coupled to at least one spring cartridge assembly in order to move the pivot point of the spring cartridge assembly with respect to the aircraft's directional hardware so that the tension of at least one manual control stick onboard the aircraft can be adjusted. At least one operational parameter input is provided to the gradient actuator from at least one of the aircraft's onboard control devices in order to effect a change in pivot point for the spring cartridge assembly.
