Abstract: A user interface for capturing user input for a non-uniform pattern of N quantities associated with a set of N time periods. The user interface allows the capture of the N quantities without the need to input N separate values. One implementation allows the user to input a sequence of step changes. Other implementations allow the user to select a pattern and provide a few parameters so that a non-uniform pattern of step changes is created by the system. Some implementations may allow subsequent adjustment of the created pattern. One use of this user interface is to capture medication instructions to either ramp up the dose of a medication or to taper down a dose of medication. These instructions may be communicated electronically to other systems, stored, or printed. This abstract is provided as an aid in locating patents of relevance to a particular topic and not as an outer bound on the scope of the claims.

Abstract: An instruction generation system and related methods to allow a user using inputs to prompts in a first language to generate written and audio instructions in a second language to an instruction recipient. An instruction generation system can be used by a health care provider to provide instructions related to new medications to be administered to a patient or to the stopping or avoiding of certain medications by a patient. The instruction generation system can be deployed without the capacity for on-the-fly translation as the system maps the instruction concepts and context for the instructions onto previously stored written and audio instructions for presentation to the instruction recipient. This abstract is a tool for those searching for relevant disclosures and not a limit on the scope of the claims.

Abstract: An antifreeze composition for use in aluminum internal combustion engines is disclosed. It is comprised of from 0.05 percent to 0.5 percent silicate, from 0.07 percent to 0.35 percent nitrate, from 0.2 percent to 2.0 percent phosphate, from 0.5 percent to 4.0 percent benzoate, from 0.1 percent to 1.0 percent molybdate, from 0.02 percent to 0.3 percent vanadate, from 0.05 percent to 0.3 percent triazole, and from 100 ppm to 5000 ppm organosilane stabilizer for the silicate. Organic amines and borates are excluded in the compositions and the pH of the compositions is from about 7 to about 9.
