Abstract: Provided are systems and methods for managing patient care. Managing patient care involves obtaining one or more electronic patient health datasets related to a plurality of patients; generating a plurality of patient profiles from the one or more electronic patient health datasets, where a first patient profile of the plurality of patient profiles is generated by: analyzing the identified data to identify data associated with a first patient; analyzing data associated with the first patient to determine data associated with patient features and determining a severity score using the identified data; analyzing the data associated with the first patient to identify data associated with medical events of the first patient and determining an urgency score using the identified data; and displaying ordered representations of profiles of the plurality of patient profiles, wherein the representations are ordered based at least in part on the severity score of the respective profile.

Abstract: Described herein is a method and system for flexible, high performance structured data processing. The method and system contains techniques for balancing and jointly optimising processing speed, resource utilisation, flexibility, scalability, and configurability in one workflow. A prime example of its application is the analysis of spatial data, e.g. LiDAR and imagery. However, the invention is applicable to a wide range of structured data problems in a variety of dimensions and settings.

Abstract: A method for detection of on-ground or near-ground discrete objects having characteristic features from terrain height data characterizing a search area comprising the steps of: processing the terrain height data to form a regular grid containing elevation and slope data at each grid point; and analyzing said gridded terrain height data to identify said on-ground or near-ground discrete objects within said search area.

Abstract: An advanced aerodynamic control system for a wind turbine including a drive shaft and blade. The control system includes an air control system coupled to a duct that extends from a first end toward a second end of the blade. A slot extends along a portion of a surface of the blade and is in communication with the duct. An instrument measures operating data of the wind turbine. A controller collects the operating data and compares the operating data to predetermined operating norms. The controller actuates the air control system to urge pressurized air into the duct and out of the slot at a specific air flow rate based upon the comparison between the operating data and predetermined operating norms. Control of the flow rate aids in capture of power from the wind flowing through a swept area of the wind turbine.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a co-crystallized product and a method of making the product. The product comprises a polyol and a hydrogenated maltodextrin that have been co-crystallized together. The co-crystallization of polyols and hydrogenated maltodextrin according to the invention provides a sweetener product that is sucrose-free, yet has a reduced sensory cooling effect compared to the original polyol(s). The reduced sensory cooling effect is due to an increase of the heat of solution that is observed when polyols are co-crystallized with hydrogenated maltodextrin. Because the product of the invention is a sucrose-free sweetener that does not demonstrate the strong sensory cooling effect typically found with polyol sweeteners, the invention has a wide variety of applications which previously are not available for polyol sweeteners.

Abstract: A number of methods and arrangements for controlling a gyroscopic continuously variable transmission (GVT) are described. The stroke length or effective stroke length of the input member (1) can be varied. A bearing arrangement includes a lubricant volume (212) and vanes (208) between an aperture and a shaft (8?) to transmit power whilst allowing for movement between the components. A transmission system may have a number of GVT's and a cam member (304) to move the inputs of the GVT's. The transmission may be provided in a wind turbine.
