Abstract: The present disclosure describes a system to use conversation data of patients to detect dangerous mental or physical conditions, such as suicidal thoughts, physical abuse, recent falls, and viral infection. A machine learning system may be trained to identify a dangerous mental or physical condition from conversations based on examples of patients evaluated to have a specific mental or physical condition. Conversations of patients may be monitored, natural language understanding (NLU) processing performed, and a machine learning system used to detect dangerous mental or physical conditions.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to an ultrasonic surgical blade including a top surface, a bottom surface and a cutting-edge. The cutting-edge is defined by a cutting-surface intermediate the top surface and the bottom surface, and the top surface has a width greater than the width of the bottom surface. The blade may be straight or curved In one embodiment of the invention, at least a portion of the cutting-surface is substantially parallel to at least a portion of the top surface. In still another embodiment of the invention first and second side-walls intersect the top surface to form first and second cutting-edges that may be sharp or blunt. Alternately, a second cutting-edge may be defined by a second cutting surface intermediate the top and bottom surfaces. Depending on the angle between the intermediate cutting-surface and the top surface, the cutting-edge may be sharp or blunt.
