  • Publication number: 20190051411
    Abstract: A decision making platform includes a data extraction circuit that interprets electronic medical records (EMRs), and a data conditioning circuit that determines an aggregated patient data set from the EMRs. The platform includes a patient readmission prediction circuit that determines a readmission risk for a patient, and a reporting circuit that provides a readmission response value. The platform further includes a clinical dashboard circuit that implements a transitions of care dashboard having: a user interface accessible to an external computing device, a time selection interface, and a display of at least a part of the readmission response value using a selection from the time selection interface.

  • Publication number: 20050222841
    Abstract: DTS Interactive provides low cost fully interactive immersive digital surround sound environment suitable for 3D gaming and other high fidelity audio applications, which can be configured to maintain compatibility with the existing infrastructure of Digital Surround Sound decoders. The component audio is stored and mixed in a compressed and simplified format that reduces memory requirements and processor utilization and increases the number of components that can be mixed without degrading audio quality. Techniques are also provided for “looping” compressed audio, which is an important and standard feature in gaming applications that manipulate PCM audio. In addition, decoder sync is ensured by transmitting frames of “silence” whenever mixed auedio is not present either due to processing latency or the gaming application.
