Publication number: 20200013489Abstract: The present disclosure pertains to a system for facilitating configuration modifications for a patient interface computer system based on risk of readmission of the patient. In some embodiments, the system obtains (i) patient demographics information associated with a patient, the patient previously having been admitted at a facility of a first type, (ii) disease information associated facility information associated with a facility of a second type, the facility information including one or more facility-specific factors associated with the facility of the second type. The system determines a risk of readmission to a facility of the first type for the patient based on the obtained patient demographics information, the disease information, and the facility information.

Publication number: 20150105975Abstract: An automatic stability control system is provided which determines the lateral acceleration and lateral velocity of a towed trailer and forward velocity of the tow vehicle. When the lateral acceleration and/or velocity of the towed trailer exceeds predetermined values established for the current forward velocity of the tow vehicle, the stability system meters a gas, such as compressed air, from a gas reservoir into at least one cylinder of a pair of buffer arms each comprising a piston that is pivotably attached to the towed trailer and a cylinder which is pivotably attached to the tow vehicle. Gas is metered into one or both buffer arm cylinders until the lateral acceleration and lateral velocity of the towed vehicle meets or is below predetermined values established for the forward velocity of the tow vehicle.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 16, 2013Publication date: April 16, 2015Inventor: Alexander Russell Dunn

Patent number: 7128170Abstract: A stabiliser (10) has a body (12) having a through-bore (16). A mandrel (14), also having a through-bore (20), is axially slidable in the body bore to actuate and de-actuate the tool. A step (64) in the body defines annular chambers (102, 104) between the mandrel and body on either side of the step. A control piston (18) in the mandrel alternately directs drilling mud pumped under pressure along said body bore and mandrel bore to the chambers to drive the mandrel hydraulically to actuate and de-actuate the tool. The control piston has a through-bore (46) and is slidable in the mandrel bore against the force of a return spring (40) by drilling mud pressure from a low-pressure position to a pressure position. The pressure position is alternately one of an actuate position (a) and a de-actuate position (b), axially spaced along the mandrel bore from said actuate position.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2003Date of Patent: October 31, 2006Inventors: Mark Alexander Russell, Andrew Ollerenshaw

Patent number: 7004266Abstract: An adjustable down-hole tool, for example a drill-string stabiliser (10), comprises a body (12) having a through bore (16). A mandrel (18) is rotationally fixed but axially movable in the body, the mandrel being movable by fluid pressure in the tool against the action of a first return spring (44) between a first, activated position and a second deactivated position. A sleeve (66) is between shoulders (68, 69) on the body and mandrel. Castellations (18a,b, 69a,b) are on the mandrel and facing edge or edges of the sleeve so that, when the castellations are in phase the mandrel is prevented from travelling from said first to second position and when they are out of phase they interdigitate and the mandrel is not prevented from travelling from said first to second position. A control piston (36) is slidable in the mandrel, being movable by fluid pressure in the tool against the action of a second return spring (50).Type: GrantFiled: February 10, 2004Date of Patent: February 28, 2006Inventors: Mark Alexander Russell, Andrew Ollerenshaw

Patent number: 6369344Abstract: A method of facing a substrate comprises applying a plurality of facing bodies to a carrier in a pattern corresponding to the desired pattern of the bodies on the faced substrate. The carrier has holes positioned centrally with respect to each body. Each body has, on a contact face to be fixed to the substrate, spaced raised weld elements which serve to locate the contact face parallel to and spaced from the substrate. The carrier is applied to the substrate with the contact faces of the bodies facing the substrate and then each body is electrically welded to the substrate by applying a welding tip to the body through each hole. A gap remains between the contact face and the substrate. Finally, the bodies are brazed to the substrate and brazing material flows between the bodies and the substrate. A facing kit comprises a carrier strip with facing bodies adhered thereto, each having raised weld elements in the form of dimples or lines.Type: GrantFiled: February 18, 2000Date of Patent: April 9, 2002Assignee: Cutting & Wear Developments, Ltd.Inventors: Mark Alexander Russell, Frederick Brian Russell

Patent number: 4855675Abstract: Various forms of hydraulic cylinders having axial bores formed in their piston rods, and probes projecting axially from the closed end of the cylinder body with two spaced coils thereon are disclosed. The coils are connected into external circuitry which responds to change in inductance of either coil whereby to generate a reference signal upon the occurrence of preselected changing conditions of inductance of either coil caused by movement of that coil into or out of mutual induction with a shorted turn arrangement formed by or carried by the piston. The coils may be the drive coils of a displacement transducer arranged to indicate either end of the stroke of the piston. Alternatively either a supplementary shorted turn or an additional drive coil may be provided to generate an intermediate stroke reference signal. The reference signals may be used in operation of a system for effecting automatic continuous reciprocation of the piston.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 1985Date of Patent: August 8, 1989Assignee: Sacol Powerline LimitedInventors: Alexander Russell, Leslie A. Cooper, David P. Drudy

Patent number: 4644355Abstract: A displacement transducer operable to measure relative displacement between two parts. The transducer comprises a shorted turn induction coil arrangement on one of the parts and, on the other part, a coaxial assembly of two drive coils separated by an output induction coil comprising two coils in quadrature, the drive coils and the output induction coil being inductively linked with the shorted turn arrangement which may be two or more shorted coils end to end. The transducer is suitable for measuring displacement of a piston rod relative to its cylinder. The stroke and the bearing support of the piston rod may be such that either drive coil can project beyond the adjacent end of the intermediate induction coil arrangement at either end of the stroke. The consequent changing impedance of the drive coils can be used to set a datum for displacement measurement and/or control an electrically modulated control valve which controls operation of the cylinder.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 1984Date of Patent: February 17, 1987Assignee: Sacol Powerline LimitedInventor: Alexander Russell
