Patent number: 11990138Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for rapid event voice documentation are provided herein. The rapid event voice documentation system captures verbalized orders and actions and translates that unstructured voice data to structured, usable data for documentation. The voice data captured is tagged with metadata including the name and role of the speaker, a time stamp indicating a time the data was spoken, and a clinical concept identified in the data captured. The system automatically identifies orders (e.g., medications, labs and procedures, etc.), treatments, and assessments/findings that were verbalized during the rapid event to create structured data that is usable by a health information system and ready for documentation directly into an EHR. The system provides all of the captured data including orders, assessment documentation, vital signs and measurements, performed procedures, and treatments, and who performed each, available for viewing and interaction in real time.Type: GrantFiled: May 9, 2023Date of Patent: May 21, 2024Assignee: Cerner Innovation, Inc.Inventors: Allison Michelle Thilges, Neil Curtis Pfeiffer, Eslie Rolland Phillips, III, Geoffrey Harold Simmons

Patent number: 10337759Abstract: A transition module for an energy recovery ventilator unit. The module comprises a frame having two opposing major surfaces with two separate through-hole openings therein. The module also comprises a self-sealing surface on one of the major surfaces and surrounding the two through-hole openings. One of the through-hole openings is configured to separately overlap with return air openings or supply air openings located in a first target side of one an energy recovery ventilator unit or an air handling unit and in a second target side of the other one of the energy recovery ventilator unit or the air handling unit. The other of the through-hole openings is configured to separately overlap with the other of the return air openings or the supply air openings located in the first and second sides.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2016Date of Patent: July 2, 2019Assignee: Lennox Industries, Inc.Inventors: Justin McKie, Eric Perez, Geoffrey Curtis, Bryan Smith

Patent number: 10168082Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for compressor units in HVAC systems. A slide plate and slide rail assembly is described that can allow compressors to be slidably removed or adjusted to allow for easy repair or servicing. Instead of disassembling an entire compressor unit when repairs are needed on it or on neighboring components, the compressor unit can be quickly moved. Dual slide rail and slide plate configurations are described as well.Type: GrantFiled: May 22, 2015Date of Patent: January 1, 2019Assignee: LENNOX INDUSTRIES INC.Inventors: Marcus Troxell, Geoffrey Curtis, Miguel Montemayor, Harold Gene Havard, Jr.
