  • Patent number: 12586360
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method for monitoring, surveillance, and/or operation of a machine-learning medical imaging screening classifier, comprising: obtaining the classifier, which is trained to process medical image data of a subject to determine a classification output indicative of a presence or absence of a health state in the subject; obtaining medical image data of clinical subjects of a medical imaging clinical site; applying the classifier to the medical image data to determine classification outputs indicative of a health state in the clinical subjects; determining performance metrics of the classifier, based at least in part on the classification outputs and an actual presence or absence of the health state for the clinical subjects; and operating the classifier in (i) an autonomous operating mode when the classifier is validated based on the performance metrics meeting pre-determined criteria, or (ii) an semi-autonomous or non-autonomous operating mode when the classifier is not validated.

  • Patent number: 12220895
    Abstract: A glass facer for a constructions board includes a first non-woven layer of coarse fibers and a second non-woven layer of coarse fibers and microfibers. The glass facer also includes a binder that simultaneously binds or adheres the coarse fibers of the first non-woven layer together, the coarse fibers and the microfibers of the second non-woven layer together, and the first non-woven layer to the second non-woven layer. The first non-woven layer has a porosity and air permeability that enables the first non-woven layer to absorb a material of the construction board when the glass facer is positioned atop the construction board during manufacture of the construction board. The second non-woven layer is configured to block the material of the construction board from passing through the glass facer to an exterior surface of the second non-woven layer so that the material is not externally visible.

  • Publication number: 20250014719
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is computer-implemented method for processing at least one image of a location of a body of a subject. The method may comprise obtaining the at least one image, and using a trained algorithm to classify the at least one image or a derivative thereof to a category among a plurality of categories comprising a first category and a second category. The classifying may comprise applying a image processing algorithm. The method may comprise, based at least in part on the classifying, designating the at least one image or derivative thereof as having a first or second priority (e.g., lower priority or urgency than the first priority) for radiological assessment if the at least one image is classified to the first or second category, respectively. The method may comprise generating an electronic assessment of the subject, such as a negative report indicative of the subject not having a health condition.
