Publication number: 20250335276Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a context based health visualization system and method for a computing environment that indicates context-based health information for the computing resources of a computing environment. According to one embodiment, an Information Handling System (IHS) includes computer-executable instructions to identify a maintenance task that needs to be performed on a computing resource, classify the maintenance task according to one of a plurality of health contexts, and generate, using information associated with the maintenance task, a health context score for the one health context. The maintenance task may be one that impacts an overall health score of the computing resource. The instructions may then cause the IHS to display the health context score for view by a user.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 30, 2024Publication date: October 30, 2025Applicant: Dell Products L.P.Inventors: Barbara Ballard, Ming Qian, Robert Barrett, Yihan Lin, Erick Oldan, Caleb George

Patent number: 12378528Abstract: Organs-on-chips are microfluidic devices for culturing living cells in micrometer sized chambers in order to model physiological functions of tissues and organs. Engineered patterning and continuous fluid flow in these devices has allowed culturing of intestinal cells bearing physiologically relevant features and sustained exposure to bacteria while maintaining cellular viability, thereby allowing study of inflammatory bowl diseases. However, existing intestinal cells do not possess all physiologically relevant subtypes, do not possess the repertoire of genetic variations, or allow for study of other important cellular actors such as immune cells. Use of iPSC-derived epithelium, including IBD patient-specific cells, allows for superior disease modeling by capturing the multi-faceted nature of the disease.Type: GrantFiled: April 4, 2024Date of Patent: August 5, 2025Assignees: EMULATE, INC., CEDARS-SINAI MEDICAL CENTERInventors: S.

Patent number: 11140063Abstract: Systems and techniques are disclosed for using machine learning to dynamically detect physical impairments in lines of a subscriber network. In some implementations, per-tone data for a line of a subscriber network and data indicating a set of one or more scores is obtained. Each score included in the set of scores indicates a conditional likelihood that the line has a type of impairment with respect to a different feature subset ensemble. The per-tone data and the data indicating the set of one or more scores is provided as input to a model. The model is trained to output, for each of different sets of feature subset ensembles, a confidence score representing an overall likelihood that a particular line has a physical impairment. Data indicating a particular confidence score representing an overall likelihood that the line has the physical impairment is obtained. The particular confidence score is provided for output.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 2019Date of Patent: October 5, 2021Assignee: ADTRAN, Inc.Inventors: Jeremy Lyon, Armand Nokbak Nyembe, Ramya Raghavendra, Arlynn W.

Patent number: 11104466Abstract: Robotic pick-and-place automation is used to transfer oral solid pharmaceuticals from moveable trays or canisters. Sensors are used to verify that the pharmaceuticals have been properly placed in the desired pharmaceutical locations precisely according to the patient prescription data. A pharmacist places pharmaceutical products within dispensing trays or canisters to present the pharmaceutical products for picking and placing via the robotic pick-and-place machinery. Once the canister or tray is located adjacent the pick-and-place device, a sensor or imaging unit associated with the pick-and-place device verifies that the pharmaceutical product, the size, shape, and/or color of an expected pharmaceutical product that is to be placed within the packaging material in accordance with patient prescription data stored by a computer associated with the system.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 2019Date of Patent: August 31, 2021Assignee: MTS Medication Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Mark Sweet, Edward D.

Patent number: 10972361Abstract: An information handling system for managing equipment in a datacenter includes a display, a wireless communication interface, and an imaging system configured to capture image data from within a field of view of the imaging system. The information handling system shows the image data on the display, and provides an augmented reality overlay on the display over the image data. The augmented reality overlay locates an element of datacenter equipment that needs to be serviced. The information handling system further determines that the element is within the field of view, establishes a wireless communication link with the element via the wireless communication interface in response to determining that the element is within the field of view, and receives an instruction to service the element from a remote service system in response to establishing the wireless communication link.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2019Date of Patent: April 6, 2021Assignee: Dell Products L.P.Inventors: Jeffrey M.

Patent number: 10966342Abstract: An information handling system for identifying equipment in a datacenter establishes a wireless communication link with an element of datacenter equipment, and receives identification information from the element. The identification information distinguishes the element from other elements of the datacenter equipment that are visibly indistinct from the first element. The information handling system further captures image data when the field of view of an imaging system includes the element, displays the image data on a display, matches a portion of the image data with an image object associated with the first and second elements, determines an identity of the element based upon the identification information and the image object, and displays an augmented reality overlay on the display over the image data. The augmented reality overlay co-locates the image object with the portion and includes the identity over the portion.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2019Date of Patent: March 30, 2021Assignee: Dell Products, L.P.Inventors: Jeffrey M.
