Abstract: A medical records network is configured for communicating a plurality of electronic medical records over authenticated peer-to-peer connections among a plurality of client computer systems. The medical records network includes a first client computer system running a first agent application for generating an authentication request and a record request query to request access to one or more medical records stored on one or more other client computer systems. A proxy computer system receives and processes the authentication request and determines whether the first client computer system should be granted access to the medical records network. If the first client computer system is authenticated, the proxy computer system processes the record request query and forwards a proxy query to those client computer systems in a specific geographic region. The client computer systems receiving the record request query respond indicating whether they have access to the requested record(s).

Abstract: Methods of attaching a drum head to a drum body. Lug assemblies may include a lug body having a recess and a seating surface; an elongate link having a proximate end disposed near the drum head and a distal end disposed away from the drum head. A stop assembly is adjustably coupled to the link. The stop assembly constrains the link distal end from movement toward the drum head when the stop assembly engages the link and bears against the seating surface. Engagement surfaces constrain rotation of the stop assembly and thereby allow the stop assembly to be loosened, i.e., moved toward the link distal end, when the stop assembly is too shallowly disposed on the link. The stop assembly may be inserted into the recess from a direction that is generally tangential to a periphery of the drum body.

Abstract: Lug assemblies and associated methods of attaching a drum head to a drum body. The lug assembly may comprise a lug body having a seating surface; an elongate link having a proximate end disposed proximate the drum head and a distal end disposed distal from the drum head; a stop assembly adjustably coupled to the link. The stop assembly constrains the link distal end from movement toward the drum head when the stop assembly engages the link and bears against the seating surface. Engagement surfaces constrain rotation of the stop assembly and thereby allow the stop assembly to be moved toward the link distal end when the link proximate end is closer to the stop assembly than the seating surface. The stop assembly may be inserted into the recess from a direction that is generally tangential to a periphery of the drum body.

Abstract: A mesh generation tool that is programmatically integrated with a system-level design and simulation environment, thereby enabling the direct generation of PDE solver input from a system-level design and simulation environment and a method for using the mesh generation tool are disclosed. Automatic mesh generation and optimization is improved by making available additional information about the nature and purpose of certain design components to the mesh generation tool. Specifically, the parameters of the components in the device schematic, which represent a user-defined decomposition of a larger MEMS design into smaller entities of clear physical purpose, are made available to the mesh generation tool. The link established between the system-level design and PDE analyses allows the user to move between the two levels of abstraction.

Abstract: The faucet assembly of this invention has the usual water inlet and outlet lines. The novel portion of the faucet assembly is the visibly clear water conduits or tubes that are attached to the handles of the faucet assembly. These visibly clear tubes are in water flow connection with both the water inlet and outlet lines and therefore provide a way to determine most water flow problems in the assembly. In addition, these visibly clear tubes are aesthetically pleasing.
