Abstract: Software and a system created by the software with its application are applied in the healthcare setting for various patients corresponding to the CMS or JCAHO core measures. The software and its system captures necessary patient data related to future P4P initiatives designed by federal authorities, private payors or other organizations plus report safety events. The software allows real-time data entry at the bedside, during patient care processes, from admission to discharge. The system provides real-time feedback to practitioners on their performance as well as hospital benchmarking. The software can be used on a variety of hardware devices, and may gather data from various hospital information systems.

Abstract: A softball and hardball training machine comprising a single drive unit with an adjustable speed control rotating two pneumatic tires at different RPM's to propel a ball at different speeds for simulating “off-speed” or “change-up” pitches to a student.

Abstract: An improved wheel assembly includes a pair of contact bearings which are displaced from the vertical center line of the wheel for reducing frictional forces and the required torque in rotating the wheel. The bearings contact the inner surface of a drum having a pair of side plates, one of which has a central aperture. A weight bearing sleeve is located through the aperture and includes sleeve extension arms which are affixed to the contact bearings. A rotatable axle is located within the sleeve and extends through the drum so that the axle may be affixed to the other side plate of the drum. The drum thus rotates with the axle, and the vehicle weight is transferred from the sleeve to the drum by the two contact bearings which rotate in place.
