  • Patent number: 11936656
    Abstract: Content object operations over content objects of a content management system are prioritized to be performed immediately, or at a later time. The immediate scheduling of an operation is determined by policies, rules, and/or predictive model outcomes. The determination for later time scheduling is based on analysis of a history of events on content objects. If the content object operation is deemed to be at least potentially delayable to a later time, then a scheduling model is consulted to determine an urgency of performing the content object operation on the content object. The urgency value resulting from consulting the scheduling model is combined with then-current resource availability to determine a timeframe for performance of the content object operation on the content object relative to other entries in a continuously updated list of to-be-performed operations. The performance of the content object operation on the content object is initiated in due course.

  • Patent number: 11681418
    Abstract: When reviewing digital pathology tissue specimens, multiple slides may be created from thin, sequential slices of tissue. These slices may then be prepared with various stains and digitized to generate a Whole Slide Image (WSI). Review of multiple WSIs is challenging because of the lack of homogeneity across the images. In embodiments, to facilitate review, WSIs are aligned with a multi-resolution registration algorithm, normalized for improved processing, annotated by an expert user, and divided into image patches. The image patches may be used to train a Machine Learning model to identify features useful for detection and classification of regions of interest (ROIs) in images. The trained model may be applied to other images to detect and classify ROIs in the other images, which can aid in navigating the WSIs. When the resulting ROIs are presented to the user, the user may easily navigate and provide feedback through a display layer.

A presentation material creation apparatus includes a material creation unit that creates a card-shaped object in which characters or a figure can be placed on the basis of an operation of a user through a GUI (graphical user interface) and places the object on a field, and also sets an order for the multiple objects, and a material playback unit that outputs a presentation material outputting the objects in the set order. When one object is superimposed on another object by an operation of the user, the material creation unit creates an object in which the one object is placed inside the other object.

  • Patent number: 11482332
    Abstract: The method of event-driven health and wellness decision support considers an individual's medical records and lifestyle; applies healthcare best practices; and recommends next steps. Medical and lifestyle records are input, converted to events and inserted in timestamp order in an event queue. Events are processed in queued order by handlers, and results recorded in a data structure called a “person state”. Some handlers create additional events and insert them in the event queue in timestamp order. Those events are in turn processed in timestamp order. Other handlers create no events, allowing processing of all queued events to eventually complete. After events representing actual occurrences are processed, events representing postulated activities are created, queued, and processed until a specific patient state representing a health and wellness goal obtains. This allows several activity paths to be compared to determine the best path to an optimal health goal. Next steps are recommended as output.

  • Patent number: 11297393
    Abstract: A machine detects a set of first control operations and, in response, causes a display screen to present a graphical interface in which a central window suggests first content by presenting a first preview and a first identifier superimposed on the first preview. The machine then detects a second control operation that indicates dismissal of the first content. In response to the second control operation, the machine causes the display screen to present a transition to an interest-improved version of the graphical interface. The transition includes sliding the first preview, the first identifier, a second preview, and a second identifier together in a shared direction and at a shared speed within the central window. The second preview and the second identifier correspond to second content. In the interest-improved version of the graphical interface, the central window suggests the second content by presenting the second preview and the second identifier.
