  • Patent number: 7756724
    Abstract: A system and methods for organizing, manipulating, and displaying worklists of patient studies for access by medical personnel is provided. The patient studies may include medical images and data relating to medical images. In some embodiments, the worklists are easily customizable, to permit a wide range of tasks to be handled in the worklist system. Updated worklist information may be pushed to the appropriate workstations or users in nearly real-time, as updates become available, reducing errors that may be caused by outdated information in worklists. In some embodiments, worklists contain overlapping information, which permits numerous users to see the information, even if it is not immediately relevant to their tasks. This increased scrutiny may help to reduce errors.

  • Patent number: 7668710
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer program products for determining voice recognition accuracy of a voice recognition system are provided. In one embodiment, voice recognition information produced by a voice recognition system in response to recognizing a user utterance is analyzed. The voice recognition information comprises a recognized voice command associated with the user utterance and a reference to an audio file that includes the user utterance. Based on the analysis, a recognition error may be identified and the source of the error determined. A solution is then automatically implemented to eliminate the source of the error. As part of the analysis, the user utterance may be transcribed to create a transcribed utterance, if the recognized voice command does not match the user utterance. The transcribed utterance may then be compared to the recognized voice command to identify an error.

  • Publication number: 20070005798
    Abstract: The invention, in one embodiment, is directed to systems and methods for providing a “Virtual Radiology” service. This service, potentially, can provide any radiological digital image data to any computer at any institution. The service is “Virtual” in that the radiological digital image data accessible on a DICOM LAN and PACS of a first institution is made available to a second institution, without either institution having to open their networks to each other, establish legal or other business relationships and understandings or to become administratively involved with each other.

  • Patent number: 7103542
    Abstract: Systems and methods for automatically improving a voice recognition system are provided. In one embodiment, the systems and methods retrieve voice recognition information produced by a voice recognition system in response to recognizing a user utterance. The voice recognition information comprises a recognized voice command associated with the user utterance and a reference to an audio file that includes the user utterance. The audio file is played and it is determined if the recognized voice command matches the user utterance included in the audio file. The user utterance is then transcribed to create a transcribed utterance, if the recognized voice command does not match the user utterance. The transcribed utterance is then recorded in association with the recognized voice command to monitor recognition accuracy.

  • Publication number: 20050237776
    Abstract: A method for verifying coupling in a differential via pair group includes identifying a differential via pair group in a design database and identifying a victim differential via pair in the differential via pair group. All other differential via pairs in the differential via pair group are identified as culprit differential pairs. The differential via pair group includes at least one culprit differential via pair. The method also includes obtaining a total coupling threshold level and calculating a total coupling factor for the victim differential via pair within the differential via pair group. The method also includes flagging the victim differential via pair if the calculated total coupling factor exceeds the total coupling threshold level.

  • Publication number: 20030005464
    Abstract: In one aspect, the invention relates to a method for storing an image or a manifest that references a number of related images in a repository. The method comprises receiving, by an importer, data, generating an identifier associated with the data, the identifier including a substantially random unique identifier, transmitting the data to a repository and transmitting the identifier to a location separate and distinct from the repository and the importer. In one embodiment, the image includes a medical image. In another embodiment, the method further includes encoding the image to a coded image. In another embodiment, the step of requesting the image further comprises requesting the image from the repository using a standards-based protocol, and the step of transmitting the image further comprises transmitting the image file using a proprietary or a standards-based protocol.

  • Patent number: 6348155
    Abstract: A system and method for purifying water in large quantities for drinking. The system comprises a housing having a water inlet, filtering means connected to the water inlet for filtering sediment and particulate matter from the water, an inlet pump to keep the water flowing through the housing at a predetermined pressure and a mixed bed multimedia unit connected to the filtering means for removing pollutants and controlling organic growth from the water. There is also an ultra-violet treatment means connected to the mixed bed multimedia unit for subjecting the water in the system to ultraviolet radiation and carbon block filtration means disposed for a final filtering prior to dispensing the water at one or more dispensing. There is also a bottle washing means provided within the housing for cleaning water bottles prior to filling with the purified water. The system can supply drinking water for entire communities, yet is portable enough to be easily transported to disaster areas.
