  • Patent number: 11031109
    Abstract: A mechanism is provided in a data processing system comprising a processor and a memory, the memory comprising instructions that are executed by the processor to specifically configure the processor to implement a relevant information graphical presentation engine for providing a graphical user interface (GUI) that presents information from a patient electronic medical record (EMR). The relevant information graphical presentation engine generates a GUI presenting patient EMR data pertinent to a condition of the patient. The relevant information graphical presentation engine identifies a change in treatment recorded in the patient EMR, submits a question to a healthcare cognitive system to query the patient EMR for a reason for the change in treatment, and receives at least one answer from the healthcare cognitive system identifying of a reason portion of the patient EMR that provides a reason for the change in treatment.

  • Patent number: 10886030
    Abstract: A mechanism is provided for presenting contextually relevant patient data in relation to other patients in a graphical user interface. Using a medical condition associated with a patient and a current treatment being followed by the patient, a cohort of similar patients with the same medical condition are identified. For each of the patients in the cohort, a set of next treatments are identified for those patients that stopped the current treatment and followed a next treatment. For each next treatment followed by a patent in the cohort of similar patients, a determination is made as to whether the next treatment controlled or failed to control the same medical condition for the patient. Then a presentation is provided indicating the set of next treatments, a number of patients following each next treatment, whether each treatment controlled or failed to control the same medical condition, and a statistical significance.

  • Patent number: 10212752
    Abstract: Embodiments of the inventive concepts disclosed herein are directed to systems and methods for operating in multiple transmissions modes for satellite communications. A controller of a radio device may set a transmission mode of a single transceiver chain to a first communications protocol. The single transceiver chain may communicate with a satellite antenna using the first communications protocol. The controller may modify the transmission mode of the single transceiver chain from the first communications protocol to a second communications protocol. The controller may maintain synchronization for the first communications protocol. The single transceiver chain may transmit a first signal to the satellite using the second communications protocol, responsive to modifying the transmission mode. The single transceiver chain may simultaneously receive a second signal using the first communications protocol and the synchronization, and a third signal using the second communications protocol.

  • Patent number: 9912400
    Abstract: A computer defined radio includes a Mobile User Objective System (MUOS) terminal configured to instantiate two or more virtual terminals. Each of the two or more virtual terminals provides all of the functionality of a MUOS terminal with satellite communication through a single antenna. Each of the two or more virtual terminals may join a separate group as defined by MUOS specifications, and give the single MUOS terminal access to the disparate groups. Each of the two or more virtual terminals is configured to operate at a different bitrate such that the total power consumption of the MUOS terminal is less than the same number of physical terminals operating separately.

  • Patent number: 9641248
    Abstract: A signal extender and method for extending signals of a satellite is disclosed. The apparatus includes a terminal device interface, an antenna interface and a controller in communication with the terminal device interface and the antenna interface. The terminal device interface is configured for communicating with at least one terminal device. The antenna interface is configured for communicating with an antenna to facilitate communication with the satellite. Upon receiving a downlink signal from the satellite via the antenna interface, the controller processes the downlink signal to identify an intended terminal device among the at least one terminal device and transmits the downlink signal to the intended terminal device via the terminal device interface, and upon receiving an uplink signal from a particular terminal device via the terminal device interface, the controller transmits the uplink signal to the satellite via the antenna interface.
