  • Publication number: 20250291773
    Abstract: A transcript including a plurality of portions is processed. A reduced schema set from a structured document is generated by identifying a subset of schema rows from the structured document using the transcript. A reduced example set is generated by identifying a subset of examples from the structured document using the transcript. The reduced schema set and the reduced example set are composed into a reduced composite schema set. An instance of information is extracted from the transcript by processing a prompt including the reduced composite schema set with a generative artificial intelligence (AI) model using retrieval augmented generation (RAG). A schema row of the structured document is populated with the instance of information from the transcript.

  • Publication number: 20250292880
    Abstract: A method, computer program product, and computing system for flowsheet population by voice. Dictation or conversation is transcribed from voice to text. The keys and values relevant to the documentation are extracted from the transcript and used to populate the flowsheet by selecting a subset of rows and examples relevant to the transcription of the information from a plurality of rows in the flowsheet and based on the transcript, each row corresponding to a key and a value for the flowsheet and extracting an instance of information from the transcript of information associated with a key from the subset of rows by processing a prompt including at least a portion of the transcript of information and the subset of rows with a generative artificial intelligence (AI) model using retrieval augmented generation (RAG).

  • Publication number: 20250292019
    Abstract: A method, computer program product, and computing system for flowsheet population. A structured document conforming to a schema and having a plurality of rows, each row comprising a key and a value, is processed. A target key/value pair is identified within the structured document for a target instance of information. An in-context example of spoken text representative of the target instance of information corresponding to the target key/value pair is generated using a generative artificial intelligence (AI) model.

  • Publication number: 20250291780
    Abstract: A method, computer program product, and computing system for flowsheet population. A structured document conforming to a schema and having a plurality of rows, each row comprising a key and a value, is processed. A plurality of key/value variations associated with an instance of information are identified. A plurality of key/value variation vectors are generated by embedding each key/value variation in a vector. The plurality of key/value variation vectors are combined into a combined vector representing the instance of information. A transcript is segmented into a segment, the segment corresponding to the instance of information. A transcript segment vector is generated by embedding the instance of information in the segment into a vector. A similarity between the transcript segment vector and the and the combined vector is determined.

  • Publication number: 20050096560
    Abstract: A reusable airflow sensor for monitoring respiratory activity of patients in a sleep lab setting comprises a polyvinylidne fluoride (PVDF) film totally encased within a thermally conductive plastic material that is non-hydroscopic and therefore impervious to moisture which allows resterilization without comprising the electrical performance of the sensor.

  • Patent number: 6341358
    Abstract: A parallel data bus tester is particularly applicable to SCSI type buses, and uses a plurality of comparator circuits to simultaneously examine the voltages present on the conductors of a bus cable. For twisted pair type conductors, the tester uses a high reference voltage, which is compared to the high voltage conductor of each pair, and a low reference voltage, which is compared to the low voltage conductor of each pair. The reference voltages are adjustable, and allow each reference voltage to be swept through the expected voltage range for its respective conductors. As the level of a reference voltage crosses that of a conductor voltage being examined, a comparator that receives the reference voltage and conductor voltage changes output state. This output is used to drive a corresponding LED assigned to the conductor in question. Thus, as the reference voltage, which is compared to each of its corresponding conductor voltages (i.e.

  • Patent number: 6185651
    Abstract: A SCSI bus extender apparatus coupling a main SCSI bus to a auxiliary SCSI bus includes a mechanism for detecting and processing SELECTION and RESELECTION signals transmitted between the two buses to accommodate target devices on the auxiliary bus which support tagged queuing in accordance with the SCSI protocol. The invention contemplates reserving an address on the auxiliary bus for each initiator on the main bus and performing the appropriate address conversions to enable target devices to properly identify the correct initiator device during a RESELECTION phase.

  • Patent number: 5987558
    Abstract: A SCSI bus extender apparatus coupling a primary SCSI bus to a secondary SCSI bus includes a mechanism for detecting and resolving contention between a substantially simultaneous SELECTION operation on the primary bus and a RESELECTION operation on the secondary bus. The inventive method contemplates the bus extender arbitrating for control of the primary bus after a conflict is detected, and releasing control of the secondary bus if control of the primary bus is obtained. A target device on the secondary bus can then rearbitrate for control of the secondary bus. Once the target device controls the secondary bus, it can direct a RESELECTION signal to the bus extender, which responsively directs the signal to an initiator device on the primary bus. If the bus extender is unable to gain control of the primary bus after a conflict is detected, the SELECTION operation is allowed to proceed and the target device reattempts to assert the RESELECTION operation thereafter.
