Abstract: A network device includes control logic coupled to a receiver. The control logic detects an synchronization packet received via the receiver from a second network device over a network that is precision time protocol unaware. The control logic determines that a portion of the synchronization packet is asserted, indicating that the synchronization packet has incurred congestion traversing the network. The control logic adjusts, based on an assertion of the portion, a weight applied to timestamps associated with sending and receiving the synchronization packet in performing clock synchronization with the second network device.

Abstract: A patient transport apparatus with a support structure having a base, a support frame, and a patient support deck defining a support surface. An inertial sensor is coupled to the support structure and generates a signal representing a change in velocity of the support structure. A controller in communication with the inertial sensor has a processor and a non-transitory storage medium having stored thereon a program that monitors the signal generated by the inertial sensor for changes relative to a predetermined threshold. In response to an event in which the signal exceeds the predetermined threshold, the program is further configured to: generate a waveform based on the signal received from the inertial sensor; store the waveform at an overwritable address in the non-transitory storage medium; and generate an entry in an event log stored in the non-transitory storage medium, the entry comprising one or more parameters associated with the waveform.

Abstract: A computer system and method for generating non-fungible tokens (NFTs) representing a company asset based on evaluation of company assets (e.g., a hospital). Stored in a database are one or more digital assets (e.g., one or more of settlement rights and insurance claim payment obligations) representative of contractual obligations owed to the company (e.g., settlement rights), which are then analyze to determine one or more assets owed to the company. A valuation value is then determined for the determined one or more assets. NFTs are then generated based on the determined valuation value of the determined one or more assets. Additionally, the generated NFTs may be leveraged as collateral in an underwriting process. Further, analyzed in real-time, is a revenue cycle management of the company for generating a risk-weighted index value indicative of the revenue cycle management.
