Abstract: A method developed for providing patients and health care providers with an efficient and customizable way to manage abrupt cancellations. In order to accomplish that, the method of the present invention successfully matches desired time slots from an appointment request created by a patient account with recently available time slots posted by a health care provider account. The method then generates a queue comprised of patient account appointment requests where the order of the patient accounts appointment requests depends on the preferred criteria set by the health care provider accounts in the health industry. Further, the method of the present invention enables the health care provider account to choose a standard queue generated, where the patient accounts are placed in the queue in chronological order of the wish list entry or to use one or more different algorithms alone or in combination to generate weighted composite queues.

Abstract: A computing device is disclosed. The computing device comprises a host controller, a plurality of ports for connection to respective solid-state storage devices, a switch for selectively communicating each of the ports with the host controller, wherein the switch is electronically controllable to switch communications between the ports and the host controller.

Abstract: Various embodiments provide a system for performing operations that comprise accessing an integrated circuit design that includes a clock tree interconnecting a clock source to a plurality of clock sinks. The operations include receiving a request to adjust a present timing offset of the clock tree to a target timing offset. In response, a group of clock sinks to be adjusted are identified to satisfy the request. The clock tree is then modified by moving a terminal of the group from a first location in the clock tree to a second location in the clock tree to update the clock tree. An indication is provided that the updated clock tree has been modified and complies with the target timing offset.

Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods for providing a sheet product dispenser with automated product level tracking functionality are provided herein. Various product level sensors are disclosed herein including a product level sensor configured to emit a signal toward an outer circumference of a sheet product roll on a spindle extending along a longitudinal axis and to receive a reflected signal. The product level sensor is positioned a radial distance away from the spindle and aimed to emit the signal in a direction that is not parallel and not perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. The product level sensor detects a parameter of the reflected signal corresponding to the distance between the product level sensor and the sheet product roll. Other example embodiments include mechanical product level sensors. Various communication protocols may be employed to limit transmission of data to conserve battery life while still maintaining desired communication functionality.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to an injection device for expelling of a number of preset or user-selectable doses of a medicament. The injection device includes an elongated housing extending along an axial direction and configured to accommodate a cartridge containing the medicament and having a bung sealing a proximal end of the cartridge, a windup expelling mechanism, and a dose setting mechanism. The dose setting mechanism includes a handle, a dose tracking member, and a limiter. The dose tracking member is rotatable relative to the housing within a range of positional states and operatively connectable to the handle for tracking a rotation thereof. The limiter is operationally engageable with the dose tracking member and a trigger of the windup expelling mechanism for blocking actuation of the trigger when the dose tracking member is in one of a number of predetermined sections of the range of positional states.

Abstract: A reflector unit may behave as a retroreflector to reflect light of a selected color. The reflector unit may comprise a first reflector having a first color, a second reflector having a second color, and a mask that either allows incoming light to reach the first reflector and not the second reflector or allows incoming light to reach the second reflector and not the first reflector. An active light unit may emit light of a particular color in response to receiving light. In this fashion, the active light unit may simulate the operation of a reflector. The reflector unit and the active light unit may operate on a bi-directional vehicle.

Abstract: Presented are weight distribution systems for aircraft center of gravity (CG) management, methods for making/operating such systems, and aircraft equipped with CG management systems. A method is presented for managing the CG of an aircraft. The aircraft includes first and second landing gears and an airframe that removably attaches thereto one or more payloads and/or hardware modules. The method includes supporting the aircraft on a support leg that operatively attaches to the airframe and, while supported on the support leg, determining if the aircraft pivots onto the first or second landing gear. If the aircraft pivots onto either landing gear, the method responsively identifies a new airframe position for the payload/hardware module that will shift the aircraft's CG to within a calibrated “acceptable” CG range; doing so should balance the aircraft on the support leg. The payload/hardware module is then relocated to the new airframe position.
