  • Publication number: 20240046399
    Abstract: Systems and methods use machine learning models with content editing tools to prevent or mitigate inadvertent disclosure and dissemination of sensitive data. Entities associated with private information are identified by applying a trained machine learning model to a set of unstructured text data received via an input field of an interface. A privacy score is computed for the text data by identifying connections between the entities, the connections between the entities contributing to the privacy score according to a cumulative privacy risk, the privacy score indicating potential exposure of the private information. The interface is updated to include an indicator distinguishing a target portion of the set of unstructured text data within the input field from other portions of the set of unstructured text data within the input field, wherein a modification to the target portion changes the potential exposure of the private information indicated by the privacy score.

  • Patent number: 11291788
    Abstract: The invention relates to a mask for administering oxygen or other breathable gas to the nose and mouth of a patient. The invention relates to improvements in gas delivery masks, and specifically an improved diffuser structure which is particularly suitable for use in an open mask system, in which the mask body includes substantial openings that allow the user to freely converse, drink, and perform other functions. The improvements also relate to a rebound chamber within the diffuser body spaced apart from the gas conduit outlet, the rebound surface being configured to rebound and reverse the direction of flow of at least a substantial portion of the gas stream exiting the outlet from the forward direction to a rearward direction towards the user's face.

  • Patent number: 10709859
    Abstract: We disclose a mask for administering a breathable gas to a patient, which comprises a mask body and a gas flow disrupter joined to the mask body for generating a turbulent gas plume rearwardly towards the nose and mouth of the patient. The mask body is configured to position the flow disrupter so as to be spaced from and opposing the patient's nose and mouth region when the mask is worn by the patient. The mask includes a gas inlet for admitting gas from an external source into the mask interior, through the gas flow disrupter. The gas flow disrupter can be configured to generate a turbulent gas plume wherein the velocity of gas exiting the disrupter is approximately the same as the gas velocity entering the mask from the gas inlet.

  • Publication number: 20180361090
    Abstract: We disclose an apparatus, system, and method for controlling a level of a compound in a patient with a combination of a fluid administration device, a sensor and a controller. The sensor detects the level of a compound within the patient and transmits this data relating the controller. The controller controls fluid flow rate to the device. A unit is provided that connects to the device, enabling the device to operate in a “smart device” mode such that the device effectively communicates with the controller. The unit includes a data storage unit for storing digital information identifying the fluid delivery device and/or properties thereof, and a data transmitting unit for electronically transmitting the stored information in the data storage unit to the controller.

  • Publication number: 20170233229
    Abstract: A method of alerting a person to the proximity of a load being carried by a crane includes generating a trigger signal from a crane operator station when a load being carried by a crane is in proximity to a person. A wireless alarm signal is transmitted from a transmitter in response to the trigger signal. The wireless alarm signal is received by a receiver in wireless communication with the transmitter. An alarm from an alarm device is created in response to receiving the wireless alarm signal by the receiver. The alarm device is suspended from a load line that carries the load to be in proximity with the load.

  • Patent number: 9625291
    Abstract: In an embodiment, a method comprises: retrieving, without direct observation, one or more activity measures recorded within a particular time period and associated with activities performed by a group of analyzers in a specimen analysis laboratory; transforming the activity measures into a count of activities performed by the group of analyzers within the particular time period; determining whether the count of activities for the group of analyzers is less than a peak value for the group of analyzers; in response to determining that the count of activities for the group of analyzers is less than a peak value: determining a spare capacity value for the group of analyzers for the particular time period as a difference between the peak value and the count of activities for the group of analyzers; causing generating a first display of the spare capacity value for the group of analyzers on a computer display unit.

  • Patent number: 8898955
    Abstract: A plant growth support medium is described to enhance soil characteristics and provide where required, improved water, or nutrient contents. La addition the medium can be inoculated with microorganisms to aid soil characteristics and provide interactions within micron-scale environment between plant roots, water, nutrients and where applicable, bacteria and root exudates. This micro-environment provides direct delivery of active ingredients to the plant roots. The medium comprises a polymeric material having a primary pore size of greater than 30 micron. The walls of the pores are elastic, enabling the pore to swell in size to retain water, solutes or other biologically useful components and allow root penetration through them. Sulphonation of the walls renders the walls more hydrophilic so attracting water into the pores and also increasing the wall elasticity. Capillaries can be provided to interconnect pores and allow root penetration into the medium.

  • Patent number: 8802520
    Abstract: In one implementation, a method of forming a field effect transistor includes etching an opening into source/drain area of a semiconductor substrate. The opening has a base comprising semiconductive material. After the etching, insulative material is formed within the opening over the semiconductive material base. The insulative material less than completely fills the opening and has a substantially uniform thickness across the opening. Semiconductive source/drain material is formed within the opening over the insulative material within the opening. A transistor gate is provided operatively proximate the semiconductive source/drain material. Other aspects and implementations are contemplated.
