  • Patent number: 10634126
    Abstract: A constant-volume metering pump includes a pump body, a solenoid device, and a piston pump inside the pump body. The solenoid device includes an armature, and the piston pump includes a sleeve, a piston, an inlet valve, and an outlet valve. The sleeve includes an inner sleeve bore. The inner sleeve bore conforms with the external surface of the piston and can slide freely. The piston pump divides the interior pump body into a low-pressure space and a pressure feed space. Liquid enters the pressure feed space from the low pressure space through the inlet valve and is output through the outlet valve, wherein the sleeve connects with the armature and keeps synchronous reciprocating motions. The solenoid-driven device drives the sleeve to perform a motion relative to the piston, causing output of liquid. The output quantity of liquid due to such relative motion is defined by the geometric construction.

    Abstract: Mechanisms are provided to implement a genomic database curation (GDC) system. The GDC system generates a ground truth database based on a training subset of datasets from an uncurated large scale genomic database, and label metadata for the training subset. The GDC system trains at least one classification engine of the GDC system based on the training subset and the ground truth database at least by performing a machine learning operation on the at least one classification engine. The GDC system automatically applies the at least one trained classification engine on the uncurated large scale genomic database to generate an automatically curated large scale genomic database. A meta-classifier engine generates an output specifying at least one of significant gene signatures or gene pathways for at least one of diseases or drug agents based on the automatically curated large scale genomic database.

  • Publication number: 20200051670
    Abstract: Predicting beneficial drug combinations mitigating adverse drug reactions identifies drug combinations and associated target adverse drug reaction from a spontaneous reporting system containing case reports of drugs and associated adverse drug reactions. Each drug combination comprises a first drug and a second drug, and a propensity score is computed for each drug in each group. This propensity score expresses a probability of being exposed to a given drug based on other co-prescribed drugs and reported indications, which reflect patient characteristics. Associations are computed for each drug as well as drug interaction. Among the associations, the sum of the associations of the second drug and the interaction effect represents the predicted beneficial score expressing whether the second drug alters the chance of developing the target adverse drug reaction for patients on the first drug.
