  • Patent number: 10691827
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a computer-implemented method for allocating medical data access permissions using historical correlations. The method receives a request for medical research data from a user. The method executes natural language processing to interpret the received request. The method generates a database query based on a trained model to identify a medical research data set that is responsive to the request. The method queries one or more medical databases using the generated query to identify the medical research data set that is responsive to the request. The medical research data set that is identified includes the requested medical research data as well as additional medical research data that, although not requested by the user, is found to be relevant to the request based on the trained model. The method includes transmitting the medical research data set to the user.

  • Patent number: 9455754
    Abstract: A replacement radio which can be used to replace a wide range of older automobile radios and fit into an almost unlimited number of dashboard configurations comprises an interchangeable radio display assembly having a radio display sized to fit into an original automobile dashboard radio display opening and a separate radio case having radio electronics therein. At least one separate radio control housing mounts replacement radio controls such as the usual tuning and volume controls into the original dashboard openings. The usual push buttons can be part of the display assembly or can be provided by a separate push button assembly. The use of separate components or modules increases the flexibility for mounting and positioning such components with respect to the dashboard and one other so the radio can be easily installed into many older automobiles. Original display markings can be provided with application of a transparent display cover.

The separate radio display assembly is operatively connected to the radio electronics in the radio case, such as by a cable extending between the two. Separate control knob shafts and associated controls can also be provided which are operatively connected to the radio, such as by cables. With a separate radio display assembly and separate control knob shafts, there is no limit to where the radio case can be placed with respect to the dashboard mounting the display and controls and a radio display assembly that fits the particular radio display opening can be used with the radio case.

  • Patent number: 7734276
    Abstract: A replacement or retrofit radio which can be used to replace a wide range of older automobile radios and fit into an almost unlimited number of dashboard configurations comprises a radio case or enclosure having a display sized to fit into most original automobile dashboard radio display openings. Separate control knob shafts and associated controls are provided electrically connected to the radio via relatively long cables. With separate control knob shafts, there is no limit to where the controls and shafts are placed with respect to the radio case and display. A selected set of brackets can be attached to the radio with the selected set of brackets providing adjustable physical mounting of the control knob shafts to the brackets and physical connection of the control knob shafts to the radio. This allows mounting of the radio in the dashboard of the automobile in the usual manner of tightening nuts onto threaded control knob shaft sleeves.
