Abstract: Intelligent switches for controlling power delivery to lighting or other circuits are described. The switches may include a touch-control assembly and a microcontroller, and may be programmable to perform a variety of different functions that are useful for residential and commercial electrical circuits. The switches may include interchangeable and upgradable components. The touch-control assembly may be removed from the switch's wall-mount adapter, and may be operated as a remote control, flashlight, or other device.

Abstract: This invention focuses not on archiving an increasing number of medical literature articles, but having a defined number of learning modules, which when matched against certain predefined criteria, issue a learning recommendation to a physician. Systems and method embodiments include determining a pattern of medical treatment, analyzing the pattern with current medical data, and recommending, based on the analysis, at least one of a treatment, a continuing medical education, a learning module, and medical literature.

Abstract: A method is provided for ordering over a network one or more tests for a medical condition for a patient, the method including the steps of providing to the user over the network one or more tests for the patient that can be selected, allowing a user to select over the network one or more tests, determining whether a constraint exists on ordering any of the selected tests; ordering the selected tests over the network, obtaining a result of each of the ordered tests, and providing an automated evaluation based upon feedback resulting from the ordered tests. Using the methods and systems described, a user, such as a physician, can easily obtain information over a network about a large number of tests and order any of the tests over the network. The server can also obtain payment and related information from the user at the time the one or more tests are ordered.

Abstract: A method is provided for ordering over a network one or more tests for a condition, the method including: recommending to the user over the network one or more tests based on the provisional diagnosis; providing to the user over the network an analysis of the one or more recommended tests if more than one test is recommended; allowing a user to select over the network one or more of the tests; determining whether a constraint exists on ordering any of the selected tests; ordering each of the selected tests over the network if no constraint exists to obtain each of the selected tests; and obtaining a result of each of the selected tests. Using the methods and systems described, a user, such as a physician, can easily obtain information over a network about a large number of tests and order any of the tests over the network. The server can also obtain payment and related information from the user at the time the one or more tests are ordered.
