    Abstract: A system is configured for retrieving first patient medical information about a first patient, and performing a first data conversion procedure including performing a translation procedure and a coding procedure. The system is further configured for adding to the database a record of an association between the predetermined code and the first patient medical information. The system is also configured for retrieving second patient medical information about a second patient, comparing the second patient medical information with records in the database, and determining a level of confidence that the second patient medical information matches the first patient medical information. If the determined level of confidence exceeds a first predetermined threshold, the system omits the translation procedure.

    Abstract: The MIHIC system in various embodiments described herein helps clinicians predict the risk of maternal mortality by detecting diseases early and identifying possible risks in mothers, fetuses and infants across pre, peri and post-natal stages of pregnancy. The system quantifies risk as a single MIHIC score, which through quantification assigns possible risks to the mother, fetus and infant. The MIHIC score uses a specialized algorithm to derive the individual and overall risk as a value between 0 and 1 and uses the risk scores to stratify the patients into High, Medium and Low risk for preventive intervention and improved pregnancy outcome.

  • Publication number: 20240038434
    Abstract: A device is described, which, according to one exemplary embodiment, includes a carrier which has a through opening along a longitudinal axis, and at least one soft magnetic strip wound around the carrier to form a toroidal strip core. The strip is wound directly onto the carrier so that there is no play between the toroidal strip core and the carrier. The carrier can thus serve as part of the housing of the toroidal strip core.

    Abstract: Inductor packages employing wire-bonds over a lead frame to form integrated inductor(s), and related integrated circuit (IC) packages and fabrication methods. The inductor package includes one or more integrated inductors each formed from leads of a lead frame coupled together in a pattern through wire bonds to foil a coil(s). An overmold material is formed over the lead frame with the coil(s) formed from the wire-bonded leads to form the inductor package. The overmold material can include a magnetic material to further increase the inductance of the integrated inductor(s). The inductor package can be mounted to a package substrate of an IC package to provide an inductor(s) for a circuit in the IC package. By using a lead frame to form an inductor package, fabrication processes used to form lead frames can also be used to form the inductor package as a less complex, lower cost manufacturing method.
