Abstract: A method, system and apparatus for merging sections of documents is disclosed. A selected section of a source document is parsed for cross-references with a selected section of the document identified for merging into a target document. With the cross-reference found within the selected section, a cross-referenced section is determined within the source document. The identification of a cross-reference to the cross-referenced section within the selected section may be reported to a user. This identification may additionally serve as a basis for resolving an unresolved cross-reference. Finally, the selected section may merge into the target document with resolution of unresolved cross-references.

Abstract: A power monitoring device (PMD) can perform real-time remote managing, status reporting and analysis on the health/condition of equipment connected to the PMD. For example, a PMD provides data such as whether the equipment connected is idling, fully operating, malfunctioning, etc. The PMD can turn the power on/off, trigger system alert, and perform time-delayed or special profile programming to manage and monitor equipment usage. A power signature identification capability can identify what equipment such as monitor, laptop, lighting equipment, etc., are being connected. A configuration can be used by the power management device based at least in part on the waveform information (e.g., device model, activity status, etc.). Real-time diagnosis and collection of energy consumption and usage pattern can be aggregated for planning and management. Asset management can be enabled by discovering which models of devices are active and connected to a predetermined power management device.

Abstract: The invention provides for a method of obtaining a composite 3D ultrasound image of a region of interest. The method includes obtaining preliminary ultrasound data from a region of interest of a subject and identifying an anatomical feature within the region of interest based on the preliminary ultrasound data.

A first 3D ultrasound image is obtained from the first imaging position and one or more additional 3D ultrasound images are obtained from the one or more additional imaging positions, wherein a portion of the first 3D ultrasound image overlaps a portion of the one or more additional 3D ultrasound images, thereby forming an overlapping portion comprising the anatomical feature.

Abstract: Asynchronous fallback save operations herein (also referred to herein as a background save) provide a means for saving very large transactions from a client device within a stateless architecture. When dealing with large transactions, it may take a long time to process records—so long that the connection between the server and the client may time out, causing the user to lose all work or progress that was being saved. Thus, the present technology serves to prevent this “time out” problem while simultaneously allowing users to continue working on something else while a save is still completing. In some implementations, once a user has submitted a save request, the save operation may be carried out in a background thread pool, allowing the user to continue move on to a new task.
