Abstract: A method for obtaining a blockchain structure includes providing a first data block and a second data block, wherein a first data processing rule is assigned to first data of the first data block, and a second data processing rule is assigned to second data of the second data block. The first data processing rule is linked to the second data processing rule to obtain a third data processing rule, wherein the first data processing rule is executed before the second data processing rule when the third data processing rule is executed. The second data processing rule is linked to the first data processing rule to obtain a fourth data processing rule. When the fourth data processing rule is executed, the first data processing rule is executed after the second data processing rule. The third data processing rule is stored in the second data block and the fourth data processing rule is stored in the first data block to obtain the blockchain structure.

Abstract: The method includes generating an additional block for expanding a blockchain structure, which includes the data to be stored and is intended to be linked bidirectionally to the last block of the blockchain structure; calculating a first check value of the last block for bidirectionally linking the additional block to the last block of the blockchain structure; calculating a check value of the additional block for bidirectionally linking the additional block to the last block of the blockchain structure; adding the first check value of the last block to the last block and; adding the check value of the additional block to the additional block.

Abstract: Systems and methods for scheduling and processing house calls between a plurality of patients and a plurality of practitioners. The systems and methods use a client-server architecture, removing the need for a call center to perform patient intake and house call scheduling, and improving workflows by allowing practitioners to view and select patient requests for house calls. Other embodiments relate to systems and methods for generating claim codes and diagnostic codes from a set of practitioner notes, and transmitting them to a third party for processing.

Abstract: An electrical terminal includes a body having a first end, a second end, and a channel having an axis. The channel extends at least through the first end toward the second end, the channel configured and disposed to receive an electrical conductor. A contact gripping element intermediate the first and second ends extends into the channel at an angle from the axis. The contact gripping element is associated with the body. The contact gripping element terminates at an end having a reduced thickness. The contact gripping element is configured to exert a contact gripping contact force on the electrical conductor.

Abstract: According to an aspect of the present disclosure, a connector assembly for terminating a plurality of discrete wires and for selective electrical interconnection with a header assembly is provided. The connector assembly includes a front housing defining at least one channel therein; a rear housing selectively operatively connectable to the front housing, the rear housing including at least one passage formed therein and in operative association with a respective channel of the front housing, each passage terminating a respective discrete wire; and at least one contact disposed at least partially within each channel of the front housing and each corresponding passage of the rear housing. Each contact is configured and adapted to define a poke-in connection.

Abstract: An electrical connector and contact includes a contact body having an axial length, a termination section extending from the body, a first primary contact beam extending from the body and spaced from the body by a first axial length, and a sacrificial leading contact beam extending from the body for a second axial length. The second length is greater than the first length, and a distal end of the contact beam is configured to complete or break an energized electrical connection with a mating contact.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to switches and assemblies configured and adapted to enable “hot plugging” of electrical components and/or elements. According to an embodiment, slide switch assembly includes a body portion configured and adapted to support a first and a second spaced apart contact pin therein; and a plunger slidably supported within the body portion. Each contact pin is electrically connectable to an electrical conduit. The plunger has a first position in electrical contact with one of the first and second contact pins, and a second position in electrical contact with both the first and second contact pins. In use, when the plunger is in the second condition electrical current is transmitted between the first and the second contact pins.
