Abstract:
A method for generating a modifiable summary of medical data derived from a patient can comprise steps of selecting a subset of medical data from a medical database, wherein the subset at least partially is uniquely associated with an individual patient, and generating a living graphical representation from at least a portion of the subset. The living graphical representation can be dynamically reconfigurable upon modification of the portion. In another embodiment, a method for customizing patient medical information for presentation to a patient as a customized file can comprise steps of determining a medical condition of a patient, identifying static data related to the medical condition, and identifying dynamic data uniquely related to the patient. Additional steps can include forming a customized file of the patient from the static and dynamic data, wherein the customized file summarizes at least an episode of medical care.
Abstract:
A method for presenting content to an audience includes the steps of receiving a voice input from an audience member, determining the identity of the audience member, converting the voice input from the identified audience member to text, and presenting the text to the audience. A system that brings about the method is also described.
Abstract:
A system comprises a first speech recognition engine, a second speech recognition engine, and evaluation logic coupled to the first and second speech recognition engines. The evaluation logic evaluates the first and second speech recognition engines based on evaluation voice signals from a user and, based on the evaluation, selects one of said speech recognition engines to process additional speech signals from the user.
Abstract:
In at least some embodiments, a system may comprise a user voice interface, a processor coupled to the user voice interface, wherein the processor interprets words spoken by a user, and a memory coupled to the processor, wherein the memory stores an email application, wherein the email application summarizes email messages and navigates a plurality of email messages according to the words spoken by the user.
Abstract:
A system for distinguishing a package includes a plurality of identifiers, where at least one of the identifiers is intentionally non-functional. The system also includes an identifier indicator that indicates the identity of the at least one of the identifiers that is intentionally non-functional. In addition, the identifier indicator is stored on at least one of the package and a database and is accessible by a user to authenticate the package.
Abstract:
A method for making an authenticating system for a package includes establishing a plurality of variable instruments on the package and depositing a product in the package after the instruments have been established thereon. The method also includes acquiring information from at least two of the plurality of instruments, and associating the acquired information with the product to render product-specific authentication data.
Abstract:
A method for classifying regions defined within a digital image includes defining a tessellated set of regions from a plurality of regions identified by a plurality of segmented versions of the digital image and then classifying each tessellated region according to a likelihood that the tessellated region contains text.
Abstract:
Disclosed are methods of refining the region boundaries for individual negatives or slides when scanning a plurality of negative or slides, including the defining of rows and columns based on the median spacings between regions, and the median spans of the regions, in the vertical and horizontal directions; and aligning the identified negative or slide regions to the defined rows and columns. The negative or slide regions may then be ordered to conform to the ordering represented on the scanning adapter.
Abstract:
A method of creating a virtual lead associated with a physiological recording is provided. The method can include obtaining a first physiological signal from a first lead having a first angle and a second physiological signal from a second lead having a second angle, the first lead and the second lead being associated with a subject. The method can also include transforming the first and second physiological signals into a vector representation of the first and second physiological signals and transforming the vector representation to a virtual physiological signal representing a virtual lead having a virtual lead angle.
Abstract:
A method, apparatus, and system are disclosed for tuning software engines. In one exemplary embodiment, a method for software execution includes activating copies of an un-tuned software engine capable of generating a solution domain to a given input; tuning a first un-tuned software engine to generate a first subset of the solution domain in response to the given input; and tuning a second un-tuned software engine to generate a second subset of the solution domain in response to the given input.
