  • Publication number: 20130191150
    Abstract: A system and computer implemented method is provided to determine a need for a medical examination. The system includes a computerized device and a database accessible using an interface. Some data may include information about a patient that may be definable by a user. The system may also include a rules engine operated by the computerized device to manage rules and to retrieve the data from the database, retrieve the rules stored in the database relating to the need for the examination of the medical condition by a specialist practitioner, and compare the data that is retrieved with the rules to determine a need for an initial examination. Findings from the initial examination are storable in the database, and the findings are retrievable to be compared with the rules to determine a need for a subsequent examination.

  • Publication number: 20060145023
    Abstract: A system is provided for docking two vehicles. In one exemplary embodiment, the system includes a first and a second vehicle. The first vehicle has a port thereon. The port has a first magnetic mechanism coupled thereto, and the first magnetic mechanism is configured to provide a first magnetic polarity. The second vehicle is in communication with the first vehicle and has an interface thereon. The interface has a second magnetic mechanism coupled thereto and is configured to selectively provide a first and a second magnetic polarity. The first and second magnetic mechanisms are magnetically attracted to one another when the second magnetic polarity is selected and repel one another when the first magnetic polarity is selected.
