Abstract: A media transfer system includes a media transfer messaging application stored on a central server to be downloaded by a plurality of client devices and stored thereon. The plurality of client devices are communication with a network. The plurality of client devices having the media transfer messaging application stored thereon are enabled to transmit media between one another via the network and are defined as a receiving client device when receiving media and a sending client device when sending media. The sending client device is authenticated prior to sending media to be defined as an authenticated sending client device, and media sent from the sending client device is received by the receiving client device as a message. The receiving client device is adapted to accept, reject or delay delivery of the message, and is adapted to send a message received from a sending client device to at least one receiving client device.

Abstract: A casket according to the present invention may include an outer shell comprising a base, a pair of opposing sidewalls extending upwardly from the base, a pair of opposing endwalls extending upwardly from the base and connected to the pair of opposing sidewalls, a lid connected to the pair of opposing sidewalls and adapted to be moved between an opened position and a closed position, and a plurality of rollers carried by the base. At least one of the opposing sidewalls or opposing endwalls is adapted to be moved between an opened position and a closed position. The casket may also include an inner shell comprising a tray, a lid member adapted to overlie the tray member, and a fastener member carried by the lid member and including a pair of opposing end portions adapted to engage a portion of the tray member and adapted to engage one another to fasten the lid member to the tray member.

Abstract: A portable display system includes a display unit and a carrying case. The display unit includes a base, a plurality of posts, a top, a plurality of base fasteners, a plurality of post fasteners, a front panel, side panels and rear panels. The base has a top, a bottom, a rear, sides extending outwardly from the rear, a curved front opposite the rear, a plurality of passageways formed therein, and door receiving recesses formed in the top and extending laterally adjacent the rear. The plurality of posts engage the base to extend upwardly therefrom. The top engages the plurality of posts and preferably has a top, a bottom, a rear, sides extending outwardly from the rear, a curved front, a plurality of passageways formed therein, and door receiving recesses formed in the bottom and extending laterally adjacent the rear.

Abstract: A cremated remains containment vessel may include an outer shell including a base and sidewalls extending upwardly from the base. The sidewalls may be defined by a lower portion positioned adjacent the base and an upper portion positioned opposite the base. The outer shell may also include a plurality of interior walls extending upwardly from the base, interior the sidewalls, to define a plurality of compartments. The vessel may also include a top that is removeably connected to the upper portion of the sidewalls, and a pair of handles connected to the sidewalls of the outer shell to oppose one another. The vessel may further include a pair of grooves formed in a bottom portion of the base and aligned substantially parallel with one another. The vessel may still further include a liner carried by the outer shell adjacent an inner portion of the sidewalls and the base, and a data plate carried by a bottom portion of the top.

Abstract: A method is described for producing highly stable silver colloidal solutions by reducing silver nitrate with lithium citrate. In the method, the main steps consist of: (a) heating a first quantity of water to a first predetermined temperature; (b) adding a second quantity of silver nitrate to the water; (c) heating the mixture to a second predetermined temperature; (d) adding a third quantity of an aqueous lithium citrate solution to the mixture; (e) maintaining the mixture at the second predetermined temperature for a predetermined time; and (f) cooling the mixture. The mixing process is accompanied by constant stirring. The colloid exhibits high light-scattering properties and intense SERS or SERRS spectra with low background fluorescence levels and a long shelf life, making it particularly suitable for Raman spectroscopy.

Abstract: A method for assessing billing compliance of a medical related decision may include receiving medical related information relating to the medical related decision and applying at least one rule to the medical related information. The method may also include auditing the medical related decision for compliance with the at least one rule and providing results of the audit.

Abstract: A method for assisting a medical professional with making a medical related decision based on patient information includes providing access to a plurality of databases containing medical related information and at least one rule governing medical care. The method may also include searching for patient information on at least one of the plurality of databases providing search results of the patient information regardless of the location of the patient information.
