  • Publication number: 20240129259
    Abstract: A durability assessment system may receive a request, from a computing system, for a durability index describing an entity. The durability assessment system may determine the durability index based on information about the resource usage by the entity, such as a resource availability score or a resource allocation score. The durability assessment system may compare the obtained resource availability score and resource allocation score to ranges associated with a set of durability indices. Based on the comparison, the durability assessment system may determine a durability index for the entity. The durability index may indicate an ability of the entity to return accessed resources. In some cases, the durability assessment system may provide the durability index to an allocation computing system that is configured to determine whether to grant access to resources based on the durability index.

  • Patent number: 11952967
    Abstract: Various embodiments of a vortex hybrid motor are described herein. In some embodiments, the vortex hybrid motor may include a housing with a solid propellant positioned within the housing, and an injector ring positioned at a proximal end of the housing. The injector ring can include a plurality of angled injector units each including a first injector and a second injector angled towards an impingement point. A first fluid stream of a liquid propellant dispensed from the first injector can collide with a second fluid stream of the liquid propellant dispensed from the second injector to atomize the liquid propellant and form a spray fan formation. At least one of the first injector and the second injector can be positioned at an injection angle relative to the sidewall to create a swirl flow of the atomized injector fluid.

  • Publication number: 20240095645
    Abstract: A method of generating customizable goal representation is disclosed. A request from a user to view a goal representation is received. A flexible goal ontology is accessed that comprises one or more goal entities, one or more goal relationships between the goal entities, or one or more goal properties, the one or more goal properties including one or more metadata attributes relating to the one or more goal entities. A set of mapping rules is obtained that defines mappings between one or more goals. The set of mapping rules is evaluated to assemble a customized goal representation tailored to the user.

  • Publication number: 20240071623
    Abstract: A system that can receive non-clinical data related to an individual from one or more third party servers, and clinical data for that individual from one or more healthcare systems. The system can also pre-processes the non-clinical data and the clinical data, such as, for example, reduce the cardinality of the data and standardize the formatting of the data. The system can further project a propensity of the individual for developing at least one chronic disease by correlating the non-clinical data with the clinical data. Further, the system can identify, for each chronic disease, non-clinical factors that positively or negatively affect the propensity of the individual to develop that chronic disease, and generate a portal for display a projection for the individual to develop the chronic disease(s). At least a portion of the non-clinical risk factors can be identified by the system distilling information from secondary guidelines.
