Abstract: An electronic assembly may include a component comprising conductive studs disposed over an active layer of the component. A first encapsulant layer may be disposed around four side surfaces of the component, over the active layer of the component, and contacting at least a portion of the sides of the conductive studs. A substantially planar surface may be disposed over the active layer of the component, wherein the substantially planar surface comprises ends of the conductive studs and the first encapsulant layer. The first encapsulant layer comprises a roughness less than 500 nanometers. First conductive elements may be disposed over the encapsulant and coupled with the conductive studs. A second layer of encapsulant may be disposed over the first conductive elements.

Abstract: Mechanisms are provided for implementing a disambiguation engine for disambiguating content. Electronic content is received from a corpus of electronic content, and analyzed to identify an ambiguous portion of content. The ambiguous portion of content is a portion of the electronic content whose meaning is not made explicit in the ambiguous portion of content. A context associated with the ambiguous portion of content is determined and a set of one or more context based ambiguous content interpretation rules associated with the determined context is applied to the ambiguous portion of content to generate an interpretation of the ambiguous portion of content. The ambiguous portion of content is annotated based on the interpretation to generate disambiguated electronic content which is stored for processing as part of a subsequent operation.

Abstract: Mechanisms are provided for implementing a proximity based candidate answer pre-processor engine that outputs a sub-set of candidate answers to a question and answer (QA) system. The mechanisms receive a lexical answer type (LAT) and an entity specified in an input natural language question as well as an ontology data structure representing a corpus of natural language content. The mechanisms identify a set of candidate answers having associated nodes in the ontology data structure that are within a predetermined proximity of a node corresponding to the entity, and a sub-set of candidate answers in the set of candidate answers having an entity type corresponding to the LAT. The mechanisms output, to the QA system, the sub-set of candidate answers as candidate answers to the input natural language question for evaluation and selection of a final answer to the input natural language question.

Abstract: Cognitive medical treatment recommendation mechanisms are provided. The mechanisms ingest a corpus of medical treatment content that comprises drug-to-drug interaction information. The mechanisms generate a set of drug interaction insight data structures and an initial set of candidate treatments for a medical condition of a patient based on an analysis of an electronic medical record associated with the patient. The mechanisms rank candidate treatments in the initial set of candidate treatments based on the set of drug interaction insight data structures to generate a final set of candidate treatments, where the ranking reduces rankings of candidate treatments in which drug interactions are identified in the set of drug interaction insight data structures. The mechanisms output a treatment recommendation based on the final set of candidate treatments.

Abstract: A capacitor may include a stack assembly. The stack assembly may include a plurality of anode plate members, each having an embedded wire. The anode plate members may be separated by at least one cathode foil sandwiched between separator sheets. A conducting member may electrically connect the embedded wires and may have an externally accessible end portion that is hermetically sealed from the interior of the capacitor. A case covers the stack assembly and may be attached to a cover. The case and cover may enclose the stack assembly within an interior area of the capacitor. The at least one cathode foil may be connected to the case. An electrolyte fluid may be disposed within the interior area of the capacitor. A passage may be provided through a central portion of the stack assembly. A tube, surrounded by insulation, may pass through the passage and may be connected to the cover and the case.

Abstract: Mechanisms are provided for collecting and applying drug-to-drug interaction information from natural language documents. The mechanisms perform natural language processing of natural language documents in a corpus of natural language documents, to identify content in the natural language documents that describe a drug-to-drug interaction. The mechanisms categorize the drug-to-drug interaction and calculate, for a first drug in the drug-to-drug interaction, an exclusion weighting factor for use in evaluating treatments for patients that include a second drug of the drug-to-drug interaction based on the categorization of the drug-to-drug interaction. The mechanisms store the drug-to-drug interaction as a drug-to-drug interaction data structure that specifies the first drug, the second drug, the categorization of the drug-to-drug interaction, and the exclusion weighting factor associated with the drug-to-drug interaction.

Abstract: Mechanisms are provided to implement a medical condition base cartridge generator. The mechanisms ingest an electronic corpus of medical content and generate a medical condition base cartridge for a medical condition. The medical condition base cartridge is a pluggable cartridge comprising insight data structures that specify an association of clinical attributes of patients with the medical condition and a treatment for the medical condition. The mechanisms install the medical condition base cartridge as a resource for performing a cognitive operation.

Abstract: An approach is provided in which a knowledge manager identifies training entities in a training question answer pair and identifies database paths a database that link the training entities. The knowledge manager then generates a generalized query based upon the identified database paths. In addition, the knowledge manager generates a generalized syntactic pattern based upon syntactic relationships between the training entities in the training question answer pair. When the knowledge manager receives a question and matches the syntactic pattern of the received question to the generalized syntactic pattern, the knowledge manager generates a custom query from the generalized query and queries the database using the custom query.

Abstract: An approach is provided in which a knowledge manager identifies training entities in a training question answer pair and identifies multiple database paths a database that link the training entities. The knowledge manager then generates multiple generalized queries based upon the identified multiple database paths and assigns query scores to the multiple generalized queries. In addition, the knowledge manager generates a generalized syntactic pattern based upon syntactic relationships between the training entities in the training question answer pair. When the knowledge manager receives a question and matches the syntactic pattern of the received question to the generalized syntactic pattern, the knowledge manager generates custom queries from the generalized queries and queries the database using the custom queries. The knowledge manager, in turn, scores answers generated from the custom queries based upon the custom queries' corresponding query scores.
