  • Patent number: 11935634
    Abstract: A system for predicting and summarizing medical events from electronic health records includes a computer memory storing aggregated electronic health records from a multitude of patients of diverse age, health conditions, and demographics including medications, laboratory values, diagnoses, vital signs, and medical notes. The aggregated electronic health records are converted into a single standardized data structure format and ordered arrangement per patient, e.g., into a chronological order. A computer (or computer system) executes one or more deep learning models trained on the aggregated health records to predict one or more future clinical events and summarize pertinent past medical events related to the predicted events on an input electronic health record of a patient having the standardized data structure format and ordered into a chronological order.

    Abstract: A second type computer assembly line balancing optimization method based on a migration genetic algorithm, and related to the technical field of assembly line balancing. The method uses assembly experience of similar assembly lines, the feasible solution set of the known assembly lines is transferred to the initial solution set of the assembly line balancing problem to be optimized, due to the migration of high-quality feasible solutions. The method can effectively reduce the sensitivity of the algorithm performance to the initial value and parameters, and improve the lower limit of the local optimal feasible solution of the heuristic algorithm to solve the assembly line balancing problem.

  • Patent number: 9053291
    Abstract: A fault detection method in a continuous annealing process based on a recursive kernel principal component analysis (RKPCA) is disclosed. The method includes: collecting data of the continuous annealing process including roll speed, current and tension of an entry loop (ELP); building a model using the RKPCA and updating the model, and calculating the eigenvectors {circumflex over (P)}. In the fault detection of the continuous annealing process, when the T2 statistic and SPE statistic are greater than their confidence limit, a fault is identified; on the contrary, the whole process is normal. The method mainly solves the nonlinear and time-varying problems of data, updates the model and calculates recursively the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the training data covariance by the RKPCA. The results show that the method can not only greatly reduce false alarms, but also improve the accuracy of fault detection.

A computer programmed loop for computing the primary recurrence element and subsequent recurrence elements is an example of a case involving iteratively computing the primary recurrence element. The CPU is operatively coupled to fast operating memory (FOM) and operatively coupled to slow operating memory (SOM). SOM stores the generated optimized source code. The optimized source code includes instructions for instructing said CPU to store a computed value of the primary recurrence element in a storage location of FOM. The instructions also includes instructions to consign the computed value of the primary recurrence element from the storage location to another storage location of the FOM.
