Abstract: Techniques for patient medical care are disclosed. These techniques include identifying a plurality of rules relating to a purchase of a medical item. The techniques further include selecting a first rule, of the plurality of rules, to apply to the purchase, including generating a specificity score for each of the plurality of rules, based on setting one or more bit values in each specificity score using matching criteria between the respective rule and the purchase and comparing the specificity scores for the plurality of rules. The techniques further include facilitating supply of the medical item to a patient based on completing the purchase using the selected first rule.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a novel class of bifunctional molecules that are useful in a targeted or selective degradation of a protein.

Abstract: A piece of luggage that includes a main body portion having a front and a back and a system for mounting the piece of luggage on an object. The system includes at least first and second receivers attached to the front of the main body portion, a horizontally oriented band and first and second rods. The horizontally oriented band includes a plurality of vertically oriented passages defined therethrough. The first receiver and one of the passages cooperate to define a first path and the second receiver and one of the passages cooperate to define a second path. The first and second rods are each respectively removably received in the first and second paths. In a preferred embodiment, the band includes a middle section having a vertically oriented slot defined therein and two adjustment sections extending outwardly from the middle section.

Abstract: A high intensity solid state light pulse generator, has a low voltage, low range radio frequency carrier wave generator, the output of which is modulated by a low frequency sweep signal, to generate sonoluminescent light pulses visible to the human eye, within a desired spectrum. The modulating sweep signal can be computer generated in a predetermined mode, for a range of outputs. In one embodiment, a carrier wave at 450 kHz is modulated by way of an input in the audio range of 20 to 20,000 Hz. The colour of the output pulses is held to be a function of the modulating frequency. By selection of a suitable modulating frequency, monochromatic light pulses of a predetermined colour may be provided. A semi-mirror laser technique is used in order to amplify the light pulses, to achieve high intensity bursts of light at reduced frequency.
