  • Patent number: 11954696
    Abstract: A computer system identifies supplemental materials most effective at increasing adherence for each of a plurality of different medications and provides the materials at an optimal point in time. An example method generates a first user interface for receiving an electronic prescription for a patient for a prescribed substance. Responsive to receiving the electronic prescription, the method includes obtaining adherence data for the patient, identifying supplemental programs associated with the prescribed substance from a database of supplemental programs, generating a second user interface that presents the supplemental programs for selection by the health care provider, and responsive to receiving selection of at least one of the supplemental programs in the second user interface, providing the supplemental programs to the patient. The supplemental programs identified from the database are associated with at least one rule relating to adherence data that is met by the adherence data for the patient.

  • Patent number: 8184652
    Abstract: A linking list transmit queue system includes a queue, packet buffer and buffer tag with one-to-one mapping between them. The packet buffer stores packet data, the buffer tag stores packet data length and the queue stores a linking list of addresses corresponding to the packet data in the order in which the packet data was received from a transmitting network node. The system transmits the stored packet data in the order it was received from the transmitting network node to a destination network node.

  • Publication number: 20080194121
    Abstract: A thin client computer comprises a machine body and a base. The machine body has a motherboard mounted therein. The motherboard has a base connector on one side for exposing to the outside of the machine body. The base has an opposite connector for coupling with the base connector of the motherboard and several peripheral connection ports for coupling with several peripherals. The machine body can be coupled with the opposite connector of the base via the base connector so that the peripherals can be coupled with the peripheral connection ports of the base for further providing the machine body with more available functions.

  • Publication number: 20020132212
    Abstract: A multi-functional portable information learning device comprises a seat, a machine body, a circuit control unit. The seat is installed with a receptacle for being connected to a connector at a bottom of the machine body. The tilt portion receptacle is connected to a connecting seat. The connecting seat is connected to a computer through a universal series bus transmission line. The machine body is installed with a operation key set, a lateral key set, a liquid crystal window, a multimedia memory extension slot. A circuit control unit is installed within the machine body. The circuit control unit is connected to a connector, a liquid crystal window, a operation key set, a lateral key set, and the multimedia memory extension slot. Thereby, the voice and text are displayed synchronously and text or music is uploaded or downloaded or synchronously for enhancing language learning effect and extending memory.
