  • Publication number: 20230084544
    Abstract: A water heater can include a heat source and a heat exchanger that transfers heat to the water. A header attached to the heat exchanger provides an inlet and an outlet for water to flow into and out of the heat exchanger. The header can also include an anode assembly that releasably attaches to the header. The anode assembly can be located at a bottom of the header so that an anode in the anode assembly remains in contact with the water when water is flowing through the heat exchanger.

  • Publication number: 20220218865
    Abstract: An ultraviolet cyclonic fluid dosing system for disinfecting fluid materials is described. The dosing system includes a dosing chamber that includes a cylindrical chamber portion and a conical chamber portion. The cylindrical chamber portion has a fluid outlet and a fluid inlet that causes fluid material to enter the upper chamber and travel a helical path down through the upper chamber and into the conical chamber, from where it travels upward in exits through the fluid outlet. As the fluid material passes through the cylindrical and conical chambers, it is dosed with disinfecting ultraviolet light. The system advantageously increases the exposure time of the fluid material to the disinfecting ultraviolet light is increased as compared to non-cyclonic dosing systems having the same volume.

  • Publication number: 20220136270
    Abstract: A managed water system can include a first body of water contained in a vessel. The managed water system can also include at least one sensor device that measures at least one parameter associated with the first body of water. The managed water system can further include a circulation system that circulates the body of water relative to the vessel. The managed water system can also include a controller communicably coupled to the at least one sensor device and the circulation system. The controller can control the circulation system, and receive measurements of the at least one parameter made by the at least one sensor device. The controller can also evaluate the measurements using multiple algorithms, and communicate a result of evaluating the measurements.

  • Publication number: 20210183498
    Abstract: Techniques are described that facilitate integrating artificial intelligence (AI) informatics in healthcare systems using a distributed learning platform. In one embodiment, a computer-implemented is provided that comprises interfacing, by a system operatively coupled to a processor, with a medical imaging application that provides for viewing medical image data. The method further comprises, facilitating, by the system, generation of structured diagnostic data according to a defined ontology in association with usage of the imaging application to perform a clinical evaluation of the medical image data. The method further comprises providing, by the system, the structured diagnostic data to one or more machine learning systems, wherein based on the providing, the one or more machine learning systems employ the structured diagnostic data as training data to generate or train one or more diagnostic models configured to provide artificial intelligence-based diagnostic evaluations of new medical image data.

  • Patent number: 10986045
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for providing a single point of interaction for communicating with a first agent and a second agent. An embodiment operates by a server sending a preliminary request for a preliminary response to the first agent and the second agent and, based on the preliminary request, receiving the preliminary response from the first agent. Thereafter, the server determines that the first agent is a preferred agent based on the preliminary response and maintains a line of communication to the preferred agent. The server then sends a follow-up request for a follow-up response different from the preliminary request to the preferred agent over the line of communication and receives the follow-up response from the preferred agent over the line of communication.

  • Patent number: 8789297
    Abstract: A temporary, disposable shoe cover for bowling includes an upper, a sole having a first sole portion and a second sole portion, and a retainer. The upper is made of a fabric. A bottom opening of the upper is attached to a perimeter of the sole. A top opening of the upper is adapted to receive the user's shoe and/or foot. The retainer is attached to (i.e., at or near) the top opening of the upper and is operable to retain the shoe cover on the user's shoe and/or foot. The first sole portion is on an anterior portion of the sole and made of a low friction fabric (e.g., felt, cotton, or a nonwoven fabric). The second sole portion is on a posterior portion of the sole and made of a high friction fabric (e.g., rubber, rubber impregnated cotton, or flannel backed cotton with nonskid vinyl or rubber dots).
