Coverage: No attributable record found in this search
Exact-name and ComPair expansion plus first-party profile inspection produced no attributable patent entry. Common Itzik/Isaac Cohen names were not conflated with Izack. Searches do not cover every spelling, patent office, unpublished application or historical employer; no absence claim.
No publication records verified in this search; this does not establish absence of patents.
Original evidence: not verified
No attributable patent record was verified in the bounded name-and-affiliation search; this is not evidence that none exist.
Records are counted separately from identified families. Author-reported entries are labelled and may still need publication verification. Inventorship, publication-time applicant and current ownership are different facts. No legal-status, patentability or freedom-to-operate conclusion is made.
Scores prioritize research fit from 1–10; they are not probabilities.
Review: Reviewed with limitations
Proposed capability matches, not confirmed relationships. Scores are analyst judgments with low forecast confidence; researcher interests, capacity and feasibility need confirmation.
12 candidates
Connection 1
Original proposal
Proposal hypothesis: Izack Cohen's queueing and process models complement Singer's stochastic control and prescriptive learning for demand-dependent capacity decisions.[79][80][97][98]
Proposed first test: Build one synthetic service queue and compare fixed staffing with two adaptive policies on delay, overtime and unmet demand.
Rank 1/12; fit 10/10 (4 topic overlap + 3 complementarity + 3 feasible first test). Preserved original co-membership proposal in o03. No strictly higher-scoring candidate displaces this original. Both document operational decision methods; synthetic feasibility does not establish hospital benefit. No automatic score boost for original membership. Equal scores use existing-first, then stable researcher ID.
Analyst proposal hypothesis, not an established collaboration, commitment, evidence-confidence rating or assessment of researcher quality; confirm participation and access before work.
Connection 2
Original proposal
Proposal hypothesis: Izack Cohen can define a stochastic service process while Ilan Cohen supplies online scheduling and fair-allocation rules for arrivals not known in advance.[97][98][119][120]
Proposed first test: Replay a synthetic arrival stream under a static schedule and an online rule; report waiting-time tails, regret and group allocation gaps.
Rank 2/12; fit 9/10 (3 topic overlap + 3 complementarity + 3 feasible first test). Preserved original co-membership proposal in o03. Higher-scoring Gonen Singer (10/10) precedes this original; its own rank reflects the following limitation: The original later-stage allocation role is needed only if the service problem requires online or fairness constraints. No automatic score boost for original membership. Equal scores use existing-first, then stable researcher ID.
Analyst proposal hypothesis, not an established collaboration, commitment, evidence-confidence rating or assessment of researcher quality; confirm participation and access before work. Original initiative conditions remain: o03 Ilan Reuven Cohen: Conditional later role: add online/fair-allocation rules if the chosen service decision requires them.

Rank 5/12; fit 9/10 (3 topic overlap + 3 complementarity + 3 feasible first test). New pairing outside the frozen portfolio co-member graph. The workload is synthetic; operational staffing decisions require domain validation. Equal scores use existing-first, then stable researcher ID.

Rank 11/12; fit 6/10 (1 topic overlap + 3 complementarity + 2 feasible first test). New pairing outside the frozen portfolio co-member graph.

Rank 12/12; fit 4/10 (1 topic overlap + 2 complementarity + 1 feasible first test). New pairing outside the frozen portfolio co-member graph. The process model and scientific interpretation belong to Izack Cohen, not to an inferred Simonovsky research role. Equal scores use existing-first, then stable researcher ID.
