  • Publication number: 20240131402
    Abstract: A golf club head that achieves high performance by improving and/or balancing physical properties and performance characteristics. The golf club heads described herein achieve an IYY at or near the allowable limit, an IXX/IYY ratio near 1, and a club head CG position that is centered relative to the club head perimeter and located at or near the loft-normal axis. The golf club head comprises one or more structures that create discretionary mass to be redistributed into a heavy weight member in an extreme rearward and soleward position, and/or a central mass pad at or near the Y?-axis.

  • Publication number: 20240066365
    Abstract: A wood-type golf club head includes an angled weight assembly with an adjustable weight disposed within a weight channel. The adjustable weight assembly is positioned at an angle relative to a ground plane to reduce and redirect bending of the golf club head at impact. The reduction and redirection of bending decreases and redirects stress applied to the weight channel at impact to reduce resultant oscillations of the weight channel, which in turn reduces support material for the weight assembly and increases discretionary mass.

  • Publication number: 20220172849
    Abstract: In one example, this disclosure describes a method of processing medical data via one or more computers. The method may comprise identifying a medical code within a medical record, and identifying whether the medical code is specified or unspecified. If the medical code is specified, editing may be avoided without generating any query for further input by a physician. If the medical code is unspecified, the method further includes determining whether a suppression code appears in the medical record. If a suppression code appears, editing may be avoided without generating any query for further input by the physician. However, if a suppression code does not appear, the method further includes searching for key terms in the medical record. If key terms are present in the medical record, a query may be generated for the physician for additional clarification.

  • Publication number: 20200126647
    Abstract: This disclosure describes systems, devices, and techniques for automatically identifying missing or ambiguous information in documentation associated with a patient. For example, a system may include one or more computing devices configured to receive documentation comprising a plurality of documented items related to the patient and determine, based on at least a subset of the plurality of documented items, one or more undocumented items missing from the documentation, wherein the subset of the plurality of documented items and at least one of the one or more undocumented items define a medical concept. The one or more computing devices may also be configured to generate, based on the one or more undocumented items, a code representative of the one or more undocumented items and output the code.

  • Patent number: 9854309
    Abstract: A platform allows viewing and sorting digital media from multiple content sources across multiple devices by title, category, series, or other sorting desired. Available content from providers may be co-mixed to display as if from a single provider. Listings may be restricted to specific providers or sets of providers, such as removing providers with paid content which the user will not access. Alternatively, listings may be prioritized based on business rules programmed into the system. Listings may be limited to those available on the current device, on another set of devices, or on all devices. Control of access to content, including playback and queuing, may be done through the interface regardless of the consumption device. This allows access to all content across all devices in a fashion desirable to the user, merging providers and devices into a seamless interface tailored for the user instead of the content or device manufacturer.

  • Publication number: 20160034643
    Abstract: This disclosure describes systems, devices, and techniques for updating medical documentation associated with a patient. In one example, a computerized system for managing medical documentation associated with a patient may include one or more computing devices configured to receive user input responsive to a query presented via a user interface, wherein the user input addresses one or more undocumented items related to the query and determined from a plurality of documented items related to the patient. Responsive to receiving the user input, the one or more computing devices may be configured to generate updated information indicative of the user input and related to the patient, generate indicia indicative of the user input, and output, for display, the indicia.
