  • Patent number: 8489422
    Abstract: An apparatus and method are disclosed for processing phone-in prescription requests. The apparatus is in the form of a prescription processing network that includes a prescription processing system and a communication device remotely located from the prescription processing system. The communication device is used to establish a communication channel with the prescription processing system and submit a prescription request over the communication channel. A pharmacist, associated with the prescription processing system, prepares a completed prescription form based, at least in part, on the submitted prescription request. The prescription processing network also includes a pharmacy for receiving the completed prescription form, and filling the prescription request based on the completed prescription form.

  • Patent number: 4804234
    Abstract: A tractor (28)-semi-trailer (30) brake system control for distributing brake effort to obtain inter-tractor-trailer balanced and proportional braking (H.sub.1 /V.sub.1 =H.sub.2 /V.sub.2), depending upon the magnitude of operator demand for braking effort, is provided. The control utilizes sensors (80, 170, 172) provided on only the tractor.

  • Patent number: 4768840
    Abstract: A vehicle braking control system is provided for sensing (76) the magnitude of the vehicle operator's demand for braking effort and for distributing the braking effort between the individually controllable vehicle (22) brake sites to achieve balanced braking (12) if relatively low braking effort demand (0% to A%) is sensed and to achieve proportional braking (14) if relatively high braking effort demand (B% to 100%) is sensed.
