Abstract: A device that adapts/upgrades an existing, or new medical facility to provide a method of examining and treating occupants in a safe, efficient manner which is one quarter the size of conventional examination and treatment spaces through the use of a system that utilizes a modular frame and compartments to organize medical utilities, services and equipment to be more space efficient than conventional examination and treatment spaces. The frame and compartments have a shaped surface that focuses acoustic energy to increase intelligibility between a caregiver and the occupant and at the same time reduce ambient acoustic energy propagation. Additionally, the device can be disassembled, moved and reassembled easily. Further, the surface over the compartments creates a safety barrier between expensive and delicate utilities that mitigates tampering, accidental damage and reduces the possibility of infectious disease transmission.

Abstract: A method and system for authenticating and validating electronic architectural documents. A document approved by a licensed architect has the architects digital seal and signature associated with or inserted into the document file. A hash function is performed to create an issued file with the digital seal and signature and a cryptographic hash. The issued document is distributed to a recipient, extracted to a local drive, and subsequently accessed for use in an architectural project. The cryptographic hash of the extracted file is compared to that of the accessed filed to determine if they are the same. If the same, the accessed document is validated and the digital seal and signature remain visible in the accessed document. If not, the accessed document is not validated and the digital seal and signature are removed from or hidden, indicating the document should not be used.
