  • Patent number: 12175172
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for meshing a model of a physical electro-magnetic assembly is disclosed. The method includes separating the base mesh of the model into two domains and freezing the boundary between these domains. Each domain is then sent for mesh refinement by separate computer processors. Each computer processor generates a refined mesh of the respective domain without communication between processors. Two-way boundary mesh mapping is then performed, resulting in a global conformal mesh. Surface recovery and identity assignment are then performed by separate computer processors in parallel for each domain, without communication between processors.

To validate the fit, the generated 3D model can be compared with the specific physical or digital objects for which the 3D model is generated to fit, and the geometry of generated 3D model can be adjusted to improve the fit if the generated 3D model is not validated. The accuracy of the fit of the generated 3D models can be improved iteratively.

  • Patent number: 12111951
    Abstract: Systems and methods for recommendation of cohort sample sets is provided. In some embodiments, a set of dataset requirements is received as a required vector set. The historical vector sets are queried. Each vector set corresponds to a known dataset. The difference between the required vector set and each of the historical vector sets is calculated by framing the distance as a p-value in a hypothesis test, compared against a threshold. The historical vector set with the least difference to the required vector set is identified. The least difference is calculated as a count of differing classes or as a numerically weighted summation of differing classes.

    Abstract: A method for performing a query based on a natural language voice input is provided. The method includes receiving, via a microphone, a voice input of a user, and converting the voice input into a first text data object. The method further includes converting the first text data object into a first technical language object using AI, and submitting a query based on the first technical language object. A query result in a second technical language object is retrieved in response to the query, and the query result is converted into a second text data object using AI. The method further converts the second text object into a voice data object indicating the query result, and outputs a voice signal to provide the information of the query result in a natural language form to the user.

  • Patent number: 12097134
    Abstract: A vascular stent may be used to maintain or enhance patency of a blood vessel. By using multiple, separate stent elements that are balloon expandable, the multi-element stent may be stronger than a traditional self-expanding stent but may also be more flexible, due to its multiple-element configuration, than a traditional balloon-expandable stent. The stent elements are formed from a bioresorbable polymer material. The radial rigidity of the stent is configured to decrease after implantation in a vessel as the polymer is absorbed. The thickness of the stent, cell shape, polymer material, and/or treatment of the polymer material may be configured to provide a high initial radial rigidity to the vessel upon implantation and a decrease in the radial rigidity of the vessel over time.
