Abstract: Techniques are provided for assisting with medical service dispatch by providing recommendations to a clinical resource coordinator and by predicting upcoming demand for medical services. An example method includes receiving a request for a patient to receive medical care, determining if the patient is experiencing a medical emergency based at least in part on the patient symptoms and the patient personal medical history, recommending that the patient seek emergency medical services in response to determining that the request contains at least one critical symptom or determining that a sum of weighted risk values exceeds the threshold value, and in response to determining the request does not contain at least one critical symptom and the sum of the weighted risk values does not exceed the threshold value, recommending a medical care provider to visit the patient based at least in part on the availability information of the medical care provider.

Abstract: This disclosure describes systems, methods, and apparatus for facilitating sales, marketing, and order fulfillment between food industry manufacturers, distributors, and retailers. In particular, profiles of manufacturers, distributors, and retailers can be generated and these profiles can be analyzed to determine which retailers are ripe for promotional materials. Promotions can be created based on comparisons of manufacturer, distributor, and retailer profiles and the promotions can be transmitted via third-party servers. Retailers can then place orders via the third-party servers, and the third-party servers can then facilitate fulfillment of the orders with distributors.

Abstract: A secure disposal system for articles having a movable enclosure that is fully enclosed except for an opening to receive articles. The movable enclosure has a releasable lock for automatically locking a cover in a closed position on the movable enclosure. A transfer device automatically unlocks the cover of the movable enclosure in response to the transfer device mechanically engaging the movable enclosure. The transfer device transfers the enclosure to a position and orientation permitting the cover of the enclosure to fall open and the articles to drop from the enclosure. An article destroyer is located adjacent the transfer device, receives the articles dropping from the movable enclosure and destroys their functionality.
