  • Patent number: 11930133
    Abstract: A device may determine that a failure occurred in an emergency call between a public-safety answering point (PSAP) and a first user device associated with an emergency caller, and may identify, based on determining the failure, one of a first option, a second option, or a third option for redirecting an emergency callback to a contact of the emergency caller. The device may cause, when the first option is identified, the emergency callback to be redirected to a second user device associated with the contact of the emergency caller, and may cause, when the first option is identified, a bearer path to be established between the PSAP and the second user device for the emergency callback.

  • Patent number: 11923074
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for identifying those entities within a network that have the most influence on other entities within the network. A multi-relational network comprising links among a plurality of physicians is generated based on peer network data, wherein each link indicates a first physician that influences a second physician, and a weight of the influence. A decision by a treating physician of the plurality of physicians is decomposed, using a deep learning engine, into a magnitude of peer influence and a magnitude of control factor influence based on the multi-relational network and a plurality of control factors respectively. The magnitude of peer influence among one or more physicians in the multi-relational network is distributed among physicians in the multi-relational network based on the links each physician maintains with other physicians.

  • Publication number: 20020115341
    Abstract: An order filling system used in an inventory storage area having a controlling computer and a network of user interface devices which each have a microprocessor, memory and the ability to independently process information. The controlling computer coordinates communications with the user interface devices through poll broadcasts. The controlling computer transmits order information to the user interface devices which display the order information to assist workers in picking inventory order items. When the workers pick the specified quantity of an order items they press confirmation buttons on the user interface devices which transmit confirmation signals to the controlling computer. If special processing is required, the user interface device is capable of performing various tasks which reduces the processing requirements of the controlling computer.
