  • Publication number: 20210042800
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for predicting and optimizing the probability of an outcome event. In a specific embodiment, the disclosure is directed to a multi-phase communication system configured to perform predictive analyses during stages based on input received from a user. In a particular implementation, there may be a first communication phase configured to accept limited input from a user to establish linear dependency between input and an outcome event for the purpose of an agent assignment, followed by a second communication phase to provide sequential predictive analyses based on natural conversation data between a user and agent. In a specific embodiment, the second communication phase may implement a second predictive model trained to identify non-linear dependencies between communication data and an outcome event. Herein is also described a graphical user interface for representing scores corresponding to the probability of outcome events, among other features.

  • Publication number: 20210038595
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the technical field of pharmaceuticals and specifically describes an application of a 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 1A in preparing a drug for portal hypertension. The present invention achieved a significant decrease in portal venous pressure in model rats with cirrhotic portal hypertension by means of an HTR1A inhibitor WAY100635 administered at 1 mg/kg/day by intraperitoneal injection or alverine administered at 15 mg/kg/day by oral gavage. A 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 1A antagonist can be used to prepare an experimental drug for the treatment of cirrhotic portal hypertension. Furthermore, the 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 1A antagonist can also be used to prepare drugs for symptoms of portal hypertension syndrome, such as esophageal and fundal varices, rupture and bleeding, ascites, or hepatic encephalopathy.

  • Publication number: 20200408801
    Abstract: Single-axis teeter-totter accelerometers having a plurality of anchors are disclosed. The plurality of anchors may be arranged about a rotation axis of the teeter-totter proof mass. Each of the plurality of anchors may be coupled to the proof mass by two torsional springs each extending along the rotation axis. The plurality of anchors allows an increased number of torsional springs to be coupled to the proof mass and thus greater torsional stiffness for the proof mass may be achieved. Due to the higher torsional stiffness, the disclosed single-axis teeter-totter accelerometers may be deployed in high-frequency environments where such increased torsional stiffness is required, for example, around 20 kHz and above.
