Abstract: A lighting system has a plurality of central-control devices and a plurality of groups of local light-control devices. The central-control devices are electrically connected in a first daisy-chain form. Each group of local light-control devices are electrically connected in a second daisy-chain form. Each group of local light-control devices are connected to one of the plurality of central-control devices.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to devices and methods for neutralizing an acidic anesthesia solution. An anesthesia neutralization device includes an outer housing and an inner housing. The inner housing holds a buffer carpule and an anesthetic carpule in a side by side arrangement, with the buffer solution maintained under pressure prior to deployment. A curved transfer needle is coupled to the outer housing and includes ends that both point respectively toward the buffer carpule and anesthetic carpule. The device is actuated by moving the inner housing relative to the outer housing to bring the anesthesia carpule and buffer carpule into contact with the transfer needle and to force buffer solution through the transfer needle and into the anesthesia carpule.

Abstract: A centralized pharmacy validates a drug prescribed by a physician for a patient to ensure that the prescribed drug is a safe and cost effective treatment for the patient. The centralized pharmacy accesses the medical history of the patient, drug information of the prescribed drug, the insurance health plan purchased by the patient, as well as drug abuse information. The centralized pharmacy performs the validation process using the accessed information. If the centralized pharmacy successfully validates the prescribed drug, the centralized pharmacy physically dispatches the prescribed drug to the patient. Alternatively, if the centralized pharmacy determines that the prescribed drug fails the validation process, the centralized pharmacy can identify an alternate drug and validates the alternate drug. Therefore, the centralized pharmacy can automatically replace the prescribed drug with a more appropriate, alternate drug and can dispatch the alternate drug to the patient.
