Patent number: 9283298Abstract: Surgical adhesives that include a blend of two different thermoreversible gelling polymers and a crosslinking agent are described. The first thermoreversible gelling polymer is partially or fully acrylated and the second thermoreversible gelling polymer includes dual functionality including acrylate functionality and amine-reactive functionality. The adhesives can provide gelling and covalent crosslinking within the polymers of the adhesive as well as crosslinking with surrounding tissue.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 2014Date of Patent: March 15, 2016Assignee: Clemson UniversityInventors: Jiro Nagatomi, C. Kenneth Webb, Olin Thompson Mefford, Lindsey Sanders, Roland Stone

Publication number: 20130275149Abstract: A clinical quality analytics (CQA) system includes a process map toolset, which determines a process map from a protocol for medical treatment guidelines. A mapping module maps formats electronic medical record (EMR) data, which is mapped to the process map. A measurement and evaluation module determines metrics to evaluate a quality of care associated with the protocol and determines a population of the EMR data to use for the evaluation. A CQA engine evaluates the population of EMR data for compliance with the protocol based on the metrics and the process map.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 30, 2011Publication date: October 17, 2013Applicant: Accenture Global Srvices LimitedInventors: Daniel Adam Gaines, Mark A.

Patent number: 7049805Abstract: An unknown RF power is converted to a voltage by a detector (11). The voltage is converted to a number by a digitiser (12). A separate and fixed RF power reference (14) drives a second detector (15), whose voltage output is also converted to a number by the digitiser (12). The RF detectors are thermally coupled. Temperature variations in the RF power to voltage characteristic of the detector (11) are corrected by measuring the RF power reference (14) via the detector (15).Type: GrantFiled: February 18, 2003Date of Patent: May 23, 2006Assignee: Racal Instruments Wireless Solutions LimitedInventors: Ian Michael Rose, Nigel Kenneth Webb, Christopher John Ward
