  • Publication number: 20150066524
    Abstract: Methods and systems to facilitate the collaborative development, discovery and implementation of evidence-based, clinical pathways are disclosed. Clinicians, medical professionals or researchers, may use the Platform 105 in multiple implementation, such as integrated with a third-party system like an EHR 104 to build and find clinical pathways through a graphical interface, creating relational data records between steps in pathways. Further, users of the Platform 105 may be able to associate relevant content such as published evidence, supplemental content items (e.g., videos, images, documents, ICD, CPT, SNOMED codes, and external web pages), and other associated pathways which reside in the system's database. Users of the Platform 105 may be able organize themselves into groups and networks to develop single pathways collaboratively. Users may be able to find specific pathways in the Platform 105 through semantic search, querying for relationships which exist inside of individual pathways.

Further, users of the Platform may be able to associate relevant content such as published evidence, supplemental content items (e.g., videos, images, documents, ICD-11, CPT, SNOMED Clinical Terms, and external web pages), and other associated pathways which reside in the system's database. Users of the Platform may be able organize themselves into groups and networks to develop single pathways collaboratively. Users may be able to find specific pathways in the Platform through semantic search, querying for relationships which exist inside of individual pathways. Search results may be generated for a variety of user driven data, both explicit and implicit.

  • Patent number: 7941750
    Abstract: A user defines regions within each page of a print job and independently specifies a desired print quality setting for each such region. The printer driver running on the host computer that will submit the print job to a printer or printing device has a user interface through which a representation of the print job is displayed for the user. Using the user input device of the host computer, the user can then define or specify multiple elements or regions within each page of the print job. The user can then further set a desired print quality for each of the specified elements or regions. In this way, those elements of a print job that require a high print quality for a satisfactory appearance, such as photographs, can be identified and printed an appropriate quality levels, while other elements, such as text, that do not require a high print quality for a satisfactory appearance can be printed at a lesser print quality level.

  • Publication number: 20100265028
    Abstract: The invention discloses a soft magnetic amorphous alloy and a soft magnetic nanocomposite alloy formed from the amorphous alloy. Both alloys comprise a composition expressed by the following formula: (Fe1-x-yCoxMy)100-a-b-cTaBbNc where, M is at least one element selected from the group consisting of Ni and Mn; T is at least one element selected from the group consisting of Nb, W, Ta, Zr, Hf, Ti, Cr, Cu, Mo, V and combinations thereof, and the content of Cu when present is less than or equal to 2 atomic %; N is at least one element selected from the group consisting of Si, Ge, C, P and Al; and 0.01?x+y<0.5; Q?y?0.4; 1<a<5 atomic %; 10<b<30 atomic %; and 0<c<10 atomic %. A core, which may be used in transformers and wire coils, is made by charging a furnace with elements necessary to form the amorphous alloy, rapidly quenching the alloy, forming a core from the alloy; and heating the core in the presence of a magnetic field to form the nanocomposite alloy.

  • Publication number: 20040179229
    Abstract: A printer driver translator apparatus includes, in a printer system connected to a network, a printer driver on a computer preconfigured with a user interface conformed to provide selection options for language translations to a user. A webserver is provided on a connected printer such that the webserver receives the print job and language selection from the computer and automatically selects an associated language site locator in response to the language translation selection by a user. The webserver is connected with the network and sends the print job to the selected language translation site on the network, in accordance with the selected language translation site locator, for translation. The webserver is further configured to receive a translation of the print job from the selected language translation site for printing by the printer.

  • Publication number: 20020186407
    Abstract: This invention relates to a scheme in which a printer that is out of service would contain an embedded service that would communicate with a network directory service to locate another printer capable of completing the print job and rerouting the print job automatically. This embedded service within the printer would then communicate with the print server to notify the user of the rerouting.

  • Patent number: 6199235
    Abstract: A mattress cover for use with air inflated mattresses that includes an integral hand check tunnel formed as part of the cover. The cover includes a top, a bottom, and sides extending between the top and bottom. Openings are formed along the longitudinal sides of the cover and permit access to an enclosed tunnel that extends between the sides of the mattress cover. Flaps are attached to the sides of the mattress cover over the openings along with devices for selectively opening and closing the openings. A caregiver can verify proper inflation of an air mattress placed within the cover by opening the flaps and extending a hand into the tunnel. The cover can be used with a single air inflated air mattress with the tunnel overlying the mattress, in a dual configuration where one air mattress is placed over the other with the tunnel being placed between the mattresses, or with an air mattress placed upon a foam base with the tunnel being placed between the mattress and foam base.
