Abstract: A caregiver converge device and system associated with a patient room within a hospital are provided. The device and system include: an operating system configured to provide operational states of the caregiver converge device, the operational states provide work flow functionality for an assigned caregiver of a patient in the patient room; a touch screen display for displaying a user interface configured to facilitate the assigned caregiver utilizing the work flow functionality, the touch screen display configured to accept input from the assigned caregiver; and a caregiver proximity sensor configured to determine whether the assigned caregiver enters the patient room; where the operating system updates the work flow functionality for the assigned caregiver upon the caregiver proximity sensor determining the assigned caregiver enters the patient room.

Abstract: A system, device and method are provided for modifying workflows in a hospital environment. The system includes a workflow stratification server configured to receive and analyze event messages from a nurse call system and interface devices. The workflow stratification server determines a current state of the hospital environment and relevant applicable conditions for each event message identified as a trigger event. That way, the workflow stratification server prioritizes the trigger events and provides responses to the trigger events in a manner that takes into account resources in the hospital environment.

Abstract: A tissue sample that has been removed from a subject can be properly fixed for evaluation using the disclosed transporter assembly for carrying a tissue sample and method for fixing an unfixed tissue sample. In one embodiment, the disclosed assembly includes a transport container, a fixative in the transport container, and a cooling device that reduces and/or maintains the temperature of the fixative to perform a pre-soaking process at a temperature of less than about 7° C. The pre-soaking process can, for example, be performed during sample transport or during extended periods of storage, such as over a weekend.

Abstract: Provided is a container for a welding helmet. The container includes an outer box and a removable insert wedge that is removable from the outer box. The removable insert wedge includes a tongue portion, extending through a headband of the welding helmet, and attached to the welding helmet. The outer box forms an opening in at least one vertical side of the outer box, thereby enabling the welding helmet and a lens of the welding helmet to be accessed from outside of the outer box through the opening. The opening is sized to prevent removal of the insert wedge and attached welding helmet through the opening without damaging the outer box.

Abstract: An electronic health record system includes a query translation engine in communication with a user interaction module to transform query phrases from the user interaction module into formalized database queries of the extracted data from a data organization module.

Abstract: A protection system for a structural element is provided. The protection system employs a shield assembly comprising two parts formed of one or more materials configured to provide protection from a threat, such as a blast, projectiles, cutting, or a fire. At least one bracket assembly attaches to the structural element. The shield assembly is hingedly attached to the bracket assembly, so that the two parts of the shield assembly can be moved away from the structural element while remaining attached to the structural element.

Abstract: Computer software for language analysis and material design, and a method of natural language training, comprising: receiving a plurality of texts in a predetermined natural language; establishing one or more groups of core words of the natural language; and compiling teaching materials that comprise at least a predetermined percentage of words that are within one or more of the groups. At least one of the groups comprises high frequency words in the natural language.
