Abstract: Techniques to determine readmission risk profiles of patients admitted to a healthcare facility. A patient record for a patient admitted to the healthcare facility is received. The patient record includes social information determined for the patient. A machine learning model is applied to the patient record to determine a readmission risk profile of the patient. An indication of the readmission risk profile of the patient is output.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for predicting wound management treatment resources. This includes determining characteristics of a wound for a patient based on an image of the wound, including detecting the characteristics based on analyzing the image using a first machine learning (ML) model trained to detect wound characteristics from a captured image. The techniques further include predicting at least one of: (i) treatment resources or (ii) a treatment facility for treating the wound, including providing to a second trained ML model characteristics of the wound, patient medical data for the patient, and treatment facility data describing a plurality of available treatment facilities.

Abstract: A ceramic fiber blanket is inserted into a mold, and ceramic fiber slurry, preferably made with refractory ceramic fibers, binders, and water, is deposited on the blanket. Vacuum pressure is created under the blanket to pull the fibers of the slurry toward the fibers of the blanket to entangle them together. The slurry and blanket is then dried to form a rigid yet surface compliant ceramic fiber composite product with superior thermal insulating and acoustic dampening properties.

Abstract: The present invention accomplishes the above objects by employing a display having the capability to emit light and form images viewable from both the front and back of the display. The invention also shutters the images displayed on the front and back of the display so that the images can be correctly displayed depending on the viewpoint of the viewer. Text and images displayed such that they are seen from both the front and back of the display appear differently to the front and rear viewer. Electronic shutters are placed between the display and both the front and rear viewers so that they can be flashed on and off fast enough to provide a stable image appearing to each viewer. The shutters also flash slow enough so that display data can be rewritten to provide each viewer with a correct image. The correct image can be either the corrected image of that image seen by the opposing viewer, or a completely separate image. In this way, simultaneous images appear to both the front and rear viewer.

Abstract: A plug valve is provided with a stem seal wherein a generally frustoconical face is provided at the juncture of stem and plug and the seal is fixed against the frustoconical face with a predetermined constant load.
