System and method for lesion-specific coronary artery calcium quantification

Methods and systems utilizing the data provided by a non-contrast-enhanced CAC scan that is left unused by the “whole-heart” Agatston or volume scores. Agatston and volume scores summarize overall coronary calcium burden, but do not show the number of vessels involved, the geographic distribution of the lesions, the size and shape of the individual lesions and the distance of the lesions from the coronary ostium. The methods and systems described herein extract and use the enhanced information provided by 3-D CAC scan data and significantly increases its clinical predictive value by providing vessel and lesion specific CAC scores which are superior to the whole-heart Agatston and volume scores in predicting obstructive Coronary artery disease (CAD).

Method and apparatus for the composition and sale of travel-oriented packages

A centralized travel packaging system retrieves available vendor offered travel products from airline, hotel, car rental companies, etc., as well as associated pricing, time restrictions, use restrictions, class, availability, rules, and description(s). Travelers, agents and distributors search the centralized travel packaging system for possible package matches based on the traveler's criteria. The system compiles packages either in advance or interactively with the requestor using an intelligent matching mechanism retained within the centralized travel packaging system. The matching method uses requestor criteria and additional criteria such as geographic distributions, type of product, time considerations, cost, defined restrictions, expert travel packaging knowledge base, and distribution channel limitations to match vendor offered travel products. Upon selection of a package, the system processes the request for purchase to include cost determination, commission schedules and payment. Packages are reformulated if offered products become unavailable or restrictions or traveler criteria change. Vendors of travel products are able to control available inventory by submitting travel product offerings with restrictions for consideration in the centralized travel packaging system.

System and method for skill managememt of knowledge workers in a software industry

Workforce management enables enterprises to obtain best return on investment on workforce. Human capital forms a major investment in software services companies and effective management of these human resources has a greater impact on the overall profitability of such companies. Manual approaches for workforce management may lead to less optimal utilization of resources. A system for skill management of knowledge workers involves (a) obtaining the skills of a resource on joining; and (b) tracking the skill enhancements and additional skills acquired by the resource subsequently. The factors that largely affect the skills of a resource are qualification of the resource, trainings undergone by the resource, and projects executed by the resource. These aspects are represented using a common dictionary describing software development processes and relevant domains. Such a representation and an up-to-date skill information enables a near-optimal allocation of right resources to meet the requirements of new projects. An overall network based skill management system comprising a plurality of interconnected local skill management systems with a central skill manager helps in achieving a near-optimal utilization of resources distributed geographically.

Coordinating and mixing audiovisual content captured from geographically distributed performers

ActiveUS20160057316A1Facilitate animationFacilitate display artifactTelevision system detailsElectrophonic musical instrumentsDisplay deviceMobile device
Audiovisual performances, including vocal music, are captured and coordinated with those of other users in ways that create compelling user experiences. In some cases, the vocal performances of individual users are captured (together with performance synchronized video) on mobile devices, television-type display and / or set-top box equipment in the context of karaoke-style presentations of lyrics in correspondence with audible renderings of a backing track. Contributions of multiple vocalists are coordinated and mixed in a manner that selects for visually prominent presentation performance synchronized video of one or more of the contributors. Prominence of particular performance synchronized video may be based, at least in part, on computationally-defined audio features extracted from (or computed over) captured vocal audio. Over the course of a coordinated audiovisual performance timeline, these computationally-defined audio features are selective for performance synchronized video of one or more of the contributing vocalists.
