Abstract: The disclosed technology can identify indicia associated with different entity types (e.g., health care companies, health care suppliers, health care practitioners, etc.) that interact within a health care industry, identify one or more relationships (e.g., contractual provisions) that can affect interactions between such entity types, and identify transactions associated with one or more of the interactions. Further, the identified transactions can be organized into one or more transaction sequences. The identified indicia, the one or more identified relationships, and the one or more transaction sequences can then be associated to form a semantic network. An instance of the semantic network can be formed based, at least in part, on a detection of at least one interaction associated with the entities.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of both the phenyl pyrazine derivative 2,6-diamino-3-(2,3,5-trichlorophenyl)pyrazine and an intermediate in the synthesis of 2,6-diamino-3-(2,3,5-trichlorophenyl)pyrazine, 2-{[Cyano-(2,3,5-trichlorophenyl)-methyl]-amino}-acetamidine or a salt thereof.

Abstract: A system and method are provided for interacting one or more individuals. The apparatus and method allow a playing surface to interact with a user or a physical object. The physical object is associated with goods suitable for use with the system, such as balls, foot ware, racquets and other suitable goods. The system is capable of tracking each user and tracking each physical object. The system is illuminable in a spectrum of colors under control of a computer. The computer can control the illumination of the system based in part on detected movement or predicted movement or both, of a user and of a physical object. Moreover, the system provides a number of pressure sensitive surfaces to detect and track a user. The system is suitable for placement on a floor, a ceiling, and one or more walls or any combination thereof.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for purifying water by forming in an electrolytic cell molecular halogen, hypohalic acid, hypohalite ions or combinations thereof, from halide ions dissolved in the water; and dissolving one or more soluble metal salts in the water to provide corresponding metal ions. The invention also relates to a system for purifying water, having an electrolytic cell comprising a plurality of electrodes sufficient to electrolytically convert halide ion in the water into molecular halogen, hypohalic acid, or hypohalite ions, or combinations thereof; and a metal generator, which provides concentrations of one or more metals to the water.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of both the phenyl pyrazine derivative 2,6-diamino-3-(2,3,5-trichlorophenyl)pyrazine and an intermediate in the synthesis of 2,6-diamino-3(2,3,5-trichlorophenyl)pyrazine, 2-{[Cyano-(2,3,5-trichlorophenyl)-methyl]-amino}-acetamidine or a salt thereof.

Abstract: A heat transfer tile (1) of improved efficiency for beating or cooling a room, and a method for forming such a tile. The tile comprises a flat facing sheet (12), a heat exchange element and an insulation board (20), and the heat exchange element is a channelled member (15) comprising a first, flat plate (16) adjacent to the facing sheet (12) and a second, shaped plate (17) welded to the first plate (16), wherein the configuration of the shaped plate provides an elongated channel (18) between the plates (16, 17) for passage of a heating or cooling fluid through the tile.

Abstract: A button support 53 is upwardly biased and is movable along a vertical axis between three positions. Buttons formed with at least two thread holes are orientated by rotary frictional drive means 60 and 61 through effecting relative rotation between the button support 53 and a button 101 which are located by positioning means 13 and 18 positioning a button above the button support. In the lowest position of the button support, the button support is free to rotate about the vertical axis relative to a button 101 located by the positioning means 13 and 18. In an intermediate position the button support together with the button located by the positioning means 13 and 18 are rotatable about the vertical axis. Pins 54 project upwardly from the button support 53 for insertion in the holes of the button so that the button and button support can rotate together. In an upper position, the button support is locked against further rotation so as to provide a support for buttons in the required orientation.
