  • Publication number: 20220005558
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for digitizing a framework for clinical development. In one example, a computing device comprising a processor and a memory may be configured to perform the techniques. The processor may first define a data model comprising metadata that specifies a data standard representative of requirements for regulatory-compliant exchange of data between entities. The data model may include one or more client objects, where each client object specifying a sequence of a plurality of gates for a process of a clinical research study protocol. Moreover, each gate of the plurality of gates defines one or more conditions for completion of the gate. The processor may express the data model to define the clinical research study protocol. The memory may store the data model.

  • Patent number: 10440963
    Abstract: The present method is directed in one embodiment to a non-soluble, substantially white granular salt substitute for dough-based products. In certain embodiments, the dough-based product comprises a filling sealed within a pocket while in other embodiments, the dough-based product is not filled. In certain embodiments, the dough-based product is heated by baking, deep-frying or microwaving. In certain embodiments, the salt substitute of the present invention may be used in place of other large-particulate salts such as kosher salt for use on dough-based products. Certain non-dough-based products such as salted caramel ice cream, confections, as well as products utilizing a reduced-salt blend are also improved using the present invention. In certain embodiments, the salt substitute comprises white tapioca.

  • Patent number: 9235386
    Abstract: In general, techniques are described that facilitate the reuse of software assets within an enterprise. A software asset, as used herein, refers to a set of one or more related artifacts that have been created or harvested for the purpose of applying that asset repeatedly in subsequent development environments. A system, for example, is described that includes a repository to store artifacts, and an asset source to generate a software asset based on the artifacts. The system further includes an asset management system to receive the software asset from the asset source and store the software asset within an asset library. The system may further include a model having one or more elements, and an asset retrieval module to selectively retrieve a subset of the software assets from the asset library based on input from a user identifying one or more of the elements.
