  • Publication number: 20240303492
    Abstract: Computer-implemented methods for generating neural networks, and methods for classifying physiological data and patients based on the generated networks, are provided. The methods comprise determining values of a plurality of hyperparameters based on one or more properties of the received input data, which may be physiological data. A neural network comprising a plurality of layers is generated based on the hyperparameters, and is trained using the input data. If a first predetermined condition is not met, the values of one or more of the hyperparameters are updated. The steps of generating and training a neural network are repeated until the first predetermined condition is met. When the first predetermined condition is met, one of the trained neural networks is selected and is output.

  • Publication number: 20220133708
    Abstract: The present invention is based, in part, on the unexpected discovery that particles for pulmonary delivery of a therapeutic, prophylactic or diagnostic agent that comprise a phospholipid and a sufficient amount of leucine can produce sustained effect of the agent. Specifically, particles for pulmonary delivery of a therapeutic, prophylactic or diagnostic agent that contain a phospholipid or combination of phospholipids, wherein the phospholipid or combination of phospholipids is present in the particles in an amount of about 1 to 46 weight percent; and leucine, wherein leucine is present in the particles in an amount of at least 46 weight percent, can contribute to sustained effect of the agent. Particles that comprise at least 46 weight percent leucine but that do not contain phospholipids do not exhibit these same sustained effect properties.

  • Publication number: 20210236522
    Abstract: A method of increasing muscle mass and strength in mammals by orally administering a therapeutically effective amount of phosphatidic acid. The phosphatidic acid is preferably administered as a plurality of doses per day with at least one dose being administered during the anabolic window following exercise. Preferably, the method further includes the cotemporaneous administration of a therapeutically effective amount of creatine, optionally as phosphatidylcreatine. In addition or in the alternative, the method further includes the cotemporaneous administration of a therapeutically effective amount of leucine, optionally as phosphatidylleucine.

  • Patent number: 11008800
    Abstract: A secondary window includes a first glazing, a film, and a first frame. The first glazing includes a glass substrate having a thickness, between a first glazing surface opposite a second glazing surface, less than 2.0 millimeters. The film is attached to the first glazing surface. The first glazing is secured in the first frame, which at least partially surrounds the glazing. A second secondary window includes a second glazing secured in a second frame, which at least partially surrounds the second glazing. The second glazing includes (a) a first pane having a first-pane thickness less than 2.0 millimeters and (b) a second pane having a second-pane thickness that exceeds the first-pane thickness.

  • Patent number: 10268982
    Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product provides efficient matching of shipments with carriers and real time online tracking of shipments. The method includes receiving a carrier input that includes a desired end destination of an equipment of the carrier, and a processor locating at least one available shipment having one of (i) a shipment pick-up point within a pre-established, shipment pick-up zone and (ii) a shipment delivery point within an acceptable shipment drop-off zone of the desired end destination. The processor dynamically determines and maps an optimal route and generates and displays an available shipment (AV) user interface (UI), with a complete route for the equipment from a desired starting point to the desired end destination. The processor then calculates and provides, via the AV UI, an opportunity cost of the shipment, based in part on a total number of empty miles associated with the route.
