Abstract: Users of a communication system can initiate electronic payments during a communication session hosted by the communication system or via a social network identity page hosted by the communication system. The communication system detects a payment signal from a user of the communication system and the collects payment information details either by displaying a payment object interface in a communication application of the user or receiving payment information input directly from the user's communication device. The payment information includes sender and recipient payment account identifiers that are communicated to a payment processing system for processing and delivery of the designated payment amount to the recipient.

Abstract: Methods, computer storage media, systems and user interfaces for facilitating generation of care tickets are provided. In one embodiment, the method includes receiving context data associated with a clinical encounter at which a patient is seeking health care provided by a care provider. Clinical data associated with the patient is referenced. The clinical data includes historical health data for the patient. A care ticket is generated for the patient based on the context data and the clinical data. Such a care ticket including health information relevant to the clinical encounter at which the patient is seeking health care.

Abstract: Methods, computer storage media, systems and user interfaces for facilitating development of personalized plans of health are provided. In one embodiment, the method includes referencing clinical data associated with a patient that was previously captured from a plurality of sources at corresponding clinical encounters. The clinical data can include static data that does not change over the lifetime of the patient and dynamic data that does change over the lifetime of the patient. The clinical data and evidence-based data are used to develop a personalized plan of health for the patient. Such a personalized plan of health provides a plan of health care for the patient in accordance with aggregate healthcare history of the patient.

Abstract: Methods and systems for managing healthcare quality measure data are provided. Relevant quality measure data relating to a patient with a particular condition is identified, and it is determined if patient qualifies for a standardized quality measure related to that condition. If the patient qualifies, the relevant quality measure data is populated into a work queue associated with a computing device and displayed to a user. The relevant quality measure may be approved and sent to a quality clearinghouse. If the relevant quality measure data is not approved, additions, deletions, or changes are made to generate a revised set of relevant quality measure data which is then sent to the quality clearinghouse. The approved relevant quality measure data is received by the quality clearinghouse, and a recipient is selected to receive the relevant quality measure data. The relevant quality measure data is reformatted to the specifications of the recipient and is sent to the recipient.

Abstract: Methods, computer storage media, systems and user interfaces for reimbursing care providers using care tickets are provided. In embodiments, the method includes identifying a medically appropriate action(s) to perform during a clinical encounter for a patient that, if performed, results in a reimbursement to a care provider. The medically appropriate action(s) to perform during the clinical encounter for the patient is provided. An indication that the medically appropriate action(s) has been performed during the clinical encounter is received. Based on the performance of the medically appropriate action(s), reimbursement to the care provider is automatically initiated.

Abstract: Methods, computer storage media, systems and user interfaces for facilitating avoidance of potential health complications are provided. In one embodiment, the method includes identifying risk data that indicates a potential health risk to a patient. The risk data is used to determine a potential health complication that may arise in association with the patient. A plan of care is generated for the patient based on the potential health complication that may arise in association with the patient. Such a plan of care may include an action(s) to perform in association with the patient in an effort to avoid the potential health complication.

Abstract: This application describes a garment (e.g. a swim suit) having a base layer of stretchable elasticated fabric, the base layer having a torso portion that covers at least a part of the torso of a person when the garment is worn. An inner core layer of stretchable elasticated fabric is bonded to the inner surface of the base layer to extend around the abdomen and lower back regions of the garment. By providing a double layer of stretchable elasticated fabric in this manner, more compression is applied to the abdomen of the person (e.g. swimmer) wearing the suit, bringing about improvements in form drag. The additional support provided to the lower back and abdomen also improves core stability, which is of benefit in many sporting activities, including swimming.

Abstract: Devices for cleaning vessels, especially swimming pools, are discussed. The devices may include a non-linear flow path in a gap surrounding an in-line valve. This non-linearity permits lengths of concentric pipes forming the gap to be decreased without sacrificing operational performance of the devices. Valves forming parts of the cleaning devices may be diaphragms but shaped, sized, reinforced, or configured differently than existing valves and may have collapsible segments whose interior shape resembles an ellipse in transverse cross-section. Co-molding of diaphragms and pipes may occur, and inner and outer cups may be used to fix relative positions of various components of the devices.

Abstract: In a method an owner of copyright in a copyright work uses computer equipment to transmit digital signal containing information regarding the copyright work to physically remote computer equipment of a licensing administrator. The licensing administrator uses the computer equipment thereof to receive the digital signal and to store the information contained in the digital signal in an electronic database. An applicant for a license to copy the copyright work uses computer equipment of the license applicant to transmit to the physically remote computer equipment of the licensing administrator request for a license. The licensing administrator uses the computer equipment thereof to receive the request, to process the request in conjunction with the digitally stored information regarding the copyright work in order to generate a license to copy the copyright work and to send a digital signal to the license applicant to confirm granting of the license.

Abstract: This invention relates to a spring balance, and in particular to a spring balance for use with a sliding sash window. The invention provides a spring balance comprising a top assembly which is securable to a frame member, a bottom assembly which is securable to a sliding sash, a tension spring connected to the top assembly and to the bottom assembly, a torsion spring, a spiral rod, and a follower bush interconnecting the spiral rod and the torsion spring. The spring balance is adjustable at the top assembly, and includes a limit mechanism for limiting the range of adjustment, the limit mechanism preventing over-adjustment of the spring balance.

Abstract: A method of monitoring health in chlorophyll containing matter comprises exposing the matter to a light source to cause chlorophyll to fluoresce and emit a fluorescence signal. Any changes in a parameter indicative of changes in the intensity of the fluorescence signal are detected and compared with a predetermined threshold. A change which exceeds the predetermined threshold is interpreted as a transition of the level of stress in the chlorophyll containing matter. An apparatus for monitoring health in chlorophyll containing matter is also provided and comprises a light source for causing chlorophyll in the matter to fluoresce, a detector for detecting the intensity the fluorescent signal, means for measuring changes in a parameter indicative of changes in the intensity of the fluorescent signal and a detector to detect an increase in the change of the parameter above a predetermined threshold.

Abstract: A method of monitoring a physical parameter comprises receiving a sensor signal representative of an actual value from each of a plurality of sensors. The method further comprises calculating confidence value for each sensed value and a weighted average of actual values of the sensor signal by weighting each sensed value by the respective confidence value. The weighted average is used to determine a corresponding value of the sensed parameter.
