  • Patent number: 11694774
    Abstract: Described are web-based clinical data stores, mobile clinician applications, web-based patient portals, and aggregated decision engines comprising: a translation module configured to express aggregated electronic medical records in a format that is human-readable and accessible to an inference engine and/or a machine learning algorithm; a notation module configured to express relationships between treatment steps to generate human-readable diagrams and to transmit the diagrams as instructions to the inference engine or the machine learning algorithm; an encryption-based decentralized zero-trust de-identification and anonymization module to protect private patient information when releasing records for research purposes outside the treating physician’s protected network; an inference engine configured to receive inputs from the translated medical records of a patient and a subset of interlinked treatment steps selected by the treating physician to generate outputs comprising predictions and probabilities; and

  • Publication number: 20220237932
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method is disclosed for segmenting a binarized document. The method includes extracting connected components from the binarized document and discriminating (for at least one of the connected components) whether it is a text component based on a homogeneity level value. The homogeneity level value is representative of the level of homogeneity within the local region of the connected component. The local region includes the connected component and at least one adjacent connected component. The homogeneity level value is based on at least one value representative of at least one image characteristic parameter determined for the connected component and on at least one value representative of the image characteristic parameter of the at least one adjacent connected component.

  • Patent number: 7954099
    Abstract: A method, system, program product and computer data structure for providing for two levels of server virtualization. A first hypervisor enables multiple logical partitions to share a set of resources and provides a first level of virtualization. A second hypervisor enables multiple, independent virtual machines to share the resources that are assigned to a single logical partition and provides a second level of virtualization. All events for all of the virtual machines within said single logical partition are grouped into a single partition-owned event queue for receiving event notifications from the shared resources for that single logical partition. A request for an interrupt is signaled for the grouped events from the partition-owned event queue for the demultiplexing of grouped events, by the machine, from the partition-owned event queue into individual, virtualized event queues that are allocated on a per virtual machine basis.

  • Patent number: 7587531
    Abstract: An input/output subsystem is configured as a plurality of input/output subsystem images, each of which appears to a program as an independent input/output subsystem. An input/output subsystem image is identified by an input/output subsystem image identifier, which is used by various programs to designate the particular input/output subsystem image for which an I/O operation is to be performed. An input/output subsystem image includes, for instance, one or more input/output paths. An input/output path of an input/output subsystem image is identified by an input/output path identifier, as well as a physical input/output path identifier.

  • Patent number: 7543095
    Abstract: Input/output interruptions are managed in computing environments that do not use dedicated per-guest interruption hardware to present interruptions. Dispatchable guest programs in the environment receive I/O interruptions directly without hypervisor intervention. This is facilitated by using one or more interruption controls stored in memory and associated with each guest program. For those guest programs that are not currently dispatchable, interruptions can be posted for the guests and notifications to the hypervisor can be aggregated. The hypervisor can then process a plurality of notifications for the plurality of guests in a single invocation.

  • Patent number: 7516248
    Abstract: I/O measurement data for channels attached to logical control unit queues is obtained related to a plurality of logical control unit queues. A store secondary queue measurement data instruction specifies a range of queues for which extended secondary measurement blocks derived from the I/O measurement data are stored at a memory address specified by the store secondary queue measurement data instruction.
