Abstract: In accordance with some embodiments, an alternative system for processing a data packet received via a secure pharmacy prescription claim network is provided, in which data included in the data packet as received from a pharmacy system is modified prior to being routed to a PBM. The data packet may be modified such that a first BIN/PCN is replaced by a second BIN/PCN and a Consumer Price is added. The alternative system allows for a third party to act as a switchboard for prescription claims such that requests for prescription claims received from pharmacy systems are pre-adjudicated and data packets included in the requests are modified prior to being routed to a PBM selected by the third party.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to an adjustable-incline climbing wall. The climbing wall comprises one or more climbing panels supported by a frame and a system for adjusting the incline of the frame to provide a climbing wall of a desired incline. The incline of the climbing wall may be adjusted by activating an actuator, which extends the upper portion of the frame a distance from a support wall, tilting the climbing wall to a desired incline. When the climbing wall is substantially vertically oriented, the system for adjusting the incline of the climbing wall may extend only a small distance from the support wall so that the adjustable-incline climbing wall has a relatively small footprint. In some embodiments, the climbing wall may also comprise one or more fitness accessories that can brought to an optimal height for a particular user through adjustment of the climbing wall incline.

Abstract: In accordance with some embodiments, an alternative system for processing a request for a healthcare service is described. In accordance with some embodiments, the system obtains a diagnostic code and identifies one or more healthcare services, healthcare service providers and/or healthcare service facilities based on the diagnostic code and one or more additional data (e.g., a geographic location of a consumer and one or more terms of the consumer's healthcare benefit policy). The system may then output one or more offers to the consumer, at least one of the offers defining a reward to be provided to the consumer for selecting a healthcare service provider defined by the offer.

Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for performing multi-stage detection and classification of cancer regions from digitized images of biopsy slides. Novel methods for processing the digitized images to improve feature extraction and structure identification are disclosed, including but not limited to the use of quaternions, logarithmic mappings of color channels, and application of wavelets to logarithmic color channel mappings. The extracted features are utilized in improved machine learning algorithms that are further optimized to analyze multiple color channels in multiple dimensions. The improved machine learning algorithms include techniques for accelerating the training of the algorithms, making their application to biopsy detection and classification practical for the first time.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for restoration of a digital image. In one embodiment, a method for repairing a defect in a digital image to provide a restored image comprises determining a plurality of pixel locations to form a neighborhood relating to the defect and whether or not the neighborhood has a well-defined, dark border along its edge. Should the neighborhood not have dark border, one embodiment of the method entails processing the neighborhood to bring the neighborhood approximately to uniform darkness, processing the neighborhood to match surroundings in the digital image, copying an edge of a neighborhood in the digital image into the processed neighborhood, processing pixels of the edge to repair the copied edge pixels, and outputting the restored image for display to a user.
