Abstract: Disclosed are methods and interfaces for depicting a plurality of properties of a material, such as a haptic coating. In some aspects, gauges each expressing a property of the material may be displayed. Each property that collectively may describe the material may be defined along a gradient each of two opposing characteristics. Each of the physical properties may have an interrelationship with one or more of the other physical properties, such that when a particular value or quantity of one physical property is chosen, the other physical properties are constrained to a certain degree. The example gauges disclosed herein provide an interface that allows a user to easily understand these constraints and also allows for user friendly and intuitive manipulation of desired physical properties.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods of producing a graphical depiction of a predicted value of a property of a material. In accordance with the method, a processing unit generates a plot defining a geometric shape and comprising a plurality of points arranged in a matrix, each of the points defining a value for at least two variables and a predicted value of a property of the material. A visual representation of the predicted value of the property of the material for at least some of the plurality of points in a range of indicia is displayed on an output device. The range of indicia represents a range of predicted values of the property. A pointer on the visual representation is displayed on the output device.

Abstract: A method of dispensing a hazardous pharmaceutical comprising the steps of: connecting a source of flushing fluid to a first port of a fluid delivery set; connecting a pressurizing unit of a powered injector system (including a powered injector and the pressurizing unit) to a second port of the fluid delivery set; purging air from the fluid delivery set; and, after purging air from the fluid delivery set, connecting a third port of the fluid delivery set to a source of the hazardous pharmaceutical. The fluid delivery set can, for example, include a valve system or assembly to control flow of fluid through the fluid delivery set.
