Bretten H. Whittacre has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 8145502
    Abstract: An algorithm and associated program for performing method steps in the maintaining of records and generating of reports used in the processing of radioactive pharmaceuticals. The algorithm is used as the basis of a program which can accomplish this method automatically. The method involves the determination of dose, the acquisition of the materials, scheduling for the issuance of doses and for future doses, the actual monitoring and control of material and equipment disposal. The algorithm and method are also adapted for the generation of reports on a periodic basis. In short, the method performed by the algorithm allows for an automation through a computer system and this, in turn, allows for the automatic processing of the steps performed and the controls involved in the dispensing of radioactive pharmaceuticals and automatically allows for the generation of governmental and other reports therefor.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20040039241
    Abstract: An integrated process and algorithm enabling that process in the handling, providing, distribution or generating reports relating to radioactive isotope irradiated nuclear medicine, and particularly, radioactive pharmaceuticals, including maintenance of data with integrated data communications occurring between at least two or more databases, such as that, for example, a radioactive pharmaceutical supplier and a user of said radioactive pharmaceuticals. Acquisition of data by the pharmacy or the end user can be automatically electronically transmitted to the other, and the required governmental reports dealing with radioactive pharmaceuticals can then be generated automatically acquired data and transmitted to required governmental agencies. The algorithm and process also provide for transmitting data to and receiving process data from associated third parties necessary in connection therewith, including, for example, quality control personnel and the like.
