  • Patent number: 11887202
    Abstract: A novel integration of practice management and photo management systems that also integrates patients' electronic medical records to provide a complete software solution for a medical practice. The present invention includes a method of patient image management comprising importing an image having an assigned date, filtering a patient list by appointments that occur on the assigned date, associating the image with a patient from the patient list, retrieving procedure information associated with the patient's appointment, and tagging the image with the procedure information. A corresponding computer system adapted to manage patient images is also provided.

  • Patent number: 7743377
    Abstract: A runtime execution environment may manage resources executing cooperative threading on a single physical thread. One example can scan eligible activation records linked to threads on a method process and can execute one of the activation records. This example can create a new activation record for a new method invoked for the executed activation record and link the new activation record to the executed activation record. Further, this example can loop back to re-start the method.

  • Patent number: 4525707
    Abstract: A gas panel can provide optical data readout in an essentially serial manner for copying, communication, interaction and indication. This is accomplished by using substitute sustain cycles for reading particular addresses. A complement sustain signal obtained through the address selection circuitry is superimposed on a partial sustain signal to produce the substitute sustain signal. This provides a complete sustain cycle for the selected address(es) only. Flashes of light at the addressed positions indicate storage of logical "1s" at such addresses.

  • Patent number: 4430651
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to a system and method for the synchronization of variable-length messages being transmitted between stations of a local area contention network where the messages are made up of a variable number of fixed-length packets. This system is adapted for automatic address assignment of different stations of the network so that the network may be expanded or contracted by adding stations and removing stations respectively. In this manner, a very reliable network is provided in that the failure of any particular station does not interfere with the functioning of the other stations in the network or the network itself. In addition, the system includes provision for associating various server stations with a given procedure so that a client station may broadcast a request for a procedure and corresponding server stations will send the response to the client station containing the network identification of the server station.
