Abstract: A method, computer program product, and system identifying a probability of a medical condition in a patient. The method includes a processor obtaining data set(s) related to a patient population diagnosed with a medical condition and based on a frequency of features in the data set(s), identifying common features and weighting the common features based on frequency of occurrence in the data set(s) to generate mutual information. The processor generates pattern(s) including a portion of the common features to generate a machine learning algorithm(s). The processor compiles a training set of data to use to tune the machine learning algorithm(s). The processor dynamically adjusts common features in the pattern(s) such that the machine learning algorithm(s) can distinguish patient data indicating the medical condition from patient data not indicating the medical condition. The processor applies the machine learning algorithm(s) to data related to the undiagnosed patient, to determine the probability.

Abstract: A vacuum cleaner including a body formed by a foam material, the body having a first end and a second end. The vacuum cleaner further includes an air inlet adjacent the first end, an air outlet, and an airflow passage that extends from the air inlet to the air outlet. A suction source is disposed within the body operable to generate an airflow that travels from the air inlet through the air outlet. A separator is in communication with the airflow passage operable to filter dirt from the airflow. A battery is releasably mounted to a battery receiving portion operable to supply power to the suction source when the battery is mounted to the battery receiving portion and the battery receiving portion is in the second end of the body.

Abstract: A vacuum cleaner and carrier assembly includes a vacuum cleaner and a carrier. The vacuum cleaner includes a housing having a suction inlet and an air outlet, an airflow passage that extends from the air inlet to the air outlet, and a suction source disposed within the housing and operable to generate a suction airflow that travels through the air inlet and through the air outlet. The vacuum cleaner also includes a battery that supplies power to the suction source to generate the suction airflow. The carrier includes a main body in which at least a portion of the housing is received and a battery receiving portion configured to receive the battery therein when the battery supplies power to the suction source.

Abstract: A mop comprises a mop head and a handle connected to the mop head at a pivot. The mop head and handle have a front and a back. A fluid reservoir for spraying a fluid at the front of the mop head. A trigger is disposed on the handle remote from the mop head, where the trigger controls the spraying of the fluid from the reservoir. The trigger is movable between a non-actuated position and an actuated position where the trigger moves toward the back as it moves from the non-actuated position to the actuated position. A method of using the mop is also provided.

Abstract: A method and system for covert communication is provided by using a hybrid approach of pseudo-random noise (PN) sequencing with chaotic signals to make a transmitted waveform both hard to detect and hard to intercept by an unintended receiver. The method and system makes a covert communication system with chaotic signals practical for in-field use, including operation in a high noise power environment and allowing for easily changing between different security keys to maintain covertness.

Abstract: The maintenance cart disclosed herein includes a cart comprising a primary section, a secondary section, and/or a connection mechanism. The primary section may include a body portion including a plurality of storage, a folding shelf attached to an end of the body portion, and a releasably connectable handle mechanism. The secondary section may includes a mop bucket supporting region and a plurality of rolling members. The connection mechanism is for releasably connecting the secondary section to an end of the primary section.

Abstract: A mop bucket system includes a liquid-retaining portion and an energy-dissipation device. The liquid-retaining portion is configured to retain liquid. It has a bottom wall portion, a first sidewall portion, a second sidewall portion facing the first sidewall portion, a third sidewall portion, and a fourth sidewall portion facing the third sidewall portion. The liquid-retaining portion permits retained liquid to move in a liquid-movement direction extending from the first sidewall portion toward the second sidewall portion within a higher-momentum region having a width that is approximately 70% of a distance between the third sidewall portion and the fourth sidewall portion. The energy-dissipation device is disposed within the liquid-retaining portion and extends into the higher-momentum region.

Abstract: The dispersion of optical signals derived from a spontaneous emitter when coupled into an optical fiber waveguide is substantially reduced by optically coupling a narrow band pass interference filter between the emitter and waveguide. Only a narrow portion of the broad spectral width emission of the emitter is thereby coupled into the waveguide to provide emitter modulation rates limited only by the rise-time of the emitter. In the preferred embodiment, the coupled spectral portion corresponds to the wavelengths of peak emission. Additionally, the filter is a thin film filter deposited onto either the light-exiting face of the emitter or onto the light-receiving end of the fiber waveguide.
