  • Patent number: 10909129
    Abstract: In a tool for assisting in summarizing salient medical report findings, finding tokens (66) representing findings are extracted from a current medical report, and a salience value is computed for each such finding token based on statistics for the finding token in a reference database (32) including a count of reference medical reports of the containing the finding token in a report summary section and a count of reference medical reports containing the finding token anywhere in the report. A ranking or sub-set of findings extracted from the current medical report is displayed. The displayed findings may be ranked, or the sub-set chosen, by salience value. To generate the reference database, for each reference medical report (42) finding tokens (46) are extracted and it is determined whether each such finding token is salient based on whether the finding token is extracted from a report summary section of the reference report.

  • Patent number: 10573365
    Abstract: In a spin-torque magnetic random access memory (MRAM) that includes local source lines, auto-booting of the word line is used to reduce power consumption by reusing charge already present from driving a plurality of bit lines during writing operations. Auto-booting is accomplished by first driving a global word line to a first voltage. Driving the global word line to a first voltage results in a second voltage passed to the word lines. Subsequent driving of the plurality of bit lines that are capacitively coupled to the word line causes the word line voltage to be increased to a level desired to allow sufficient current to flow through a selected memory cell to write information into the selected memory cell.
