Abstract: A method and a system, for resource allocation provided for implementation of the method, are specified for the electronic preprocessing of digital medical image data. In at least one embodiment, provision is subsequently made to classify a plurality of preprocessing jobs, in particular by way of a classifier module, to determine whether they were generated interactively by a user request or automatically. Each preprocessing job is placed in a queue in accordance with the classification, in particular by way of an execution coordination module of the system. Data processing resources for job execution are assigned to each preprocessing job taking account of the classification, in particular by way of a resource allocation module of the system, with interactive preprocessing jobs being handled with higher priority than automatic preprocessing orders.

Abstract: In at least one embodiment, if the pre-start level has the value empty container, the computer creates a container within the framework of the pre-start but does not load any application into the container. If the pre-start level has the value application, the computer creates a respective container within the framework of the pre-start for each application. If the pre-start level has a higher value, the computer determines within the framework of the pre-start a degree of grouping for the applications assigned to the respective pre-started unit, and groups the applications in accordance with the degree of grouping determined into at least one container group. Within the framework of the processing of the complex tasks, the computer terminates on switching from one application to another application, the application still being executed only if the application involves an application not able to be suspended.

Abstract: A method and a medical computer system for executing the method are disclosed for reducing the waiting time for at least one user of the computer system when they first execute at least one work step in the computer system. The method includes pre-starting a process which is not yet assigned to a user, and loading the services into the process, which the applications initiated by a user to execute the at least one work step are very likely to call without the user already being assigned to the process.

Abstract: An image retrieval system has a network server, at least one client terminal and a data archive of a multiuser file management system, spatially separated from server and client, of a file server. A reduced data stream is now transmitted between server and client and includes a header for transmitting address and meta information with an additional data field that includes an access key to the bulk data stored in the external data archive. This reduces the data volume to be transmitted during image retrieval, and thus reduces the network utilization in the transmission of the data stream occurring between server and client. As a result of this, the time period required to transfer the modified data stream between server and client terminal is correspondingly short.

Abstract: Angle dispersive X-ray diffraction is used to test pharmaceutical products including a dosage form inside packaging, for example a tablet inside a blister pack, without removing the dosage form from the packaging. The dosage form is aligned with a measurement system having an X-ray source for generating X-rays, X-ray optics, and an X-ray detector for detection of X-rays. Then, at least one X-ray signature is measured on a predetermined location on the dosage form. The measured X-ray signature is compared with reference X-ray signatures in a data library.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method and system for determining taxably relevant data is described. Data associated with a transaction is received. Transactions using the method may include purchase orders, invoices, and transactions involving contract labor, or goods previously removed from inventory. A taxable consequence is determined based on a jurisdiction code and a product code. A product code is assigned by iterating through a hierarchy of rules using singularly defined business rules and transactional data until an appropriate code is determined. An intermediate jurisdiction code is determined by iterating through a hierarchy of potential intermediate jurisdiction codes using the singularly defined business rules until the intermediate jurisdiction code is selected. An originating jurisdiction code is determined by processing the data associated with the transaction and the intermediate jurisdiction code.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method, an apparatus and a system for the transfer of medical image data from at least one source application to at least one sink application, and for managing the data transfer via a controller and a message system. The method is based on a pipeline mechanism that comprises various processing stages, a requester and a serializer controller that controls the data steam to be transferred. The pipeline mechanism comprises a serializer that decomposes the data stream in individual chunks or reassembles the decomposed chunks to form a data stream, and a carrier that is responsible for the physical data transmission. Moreover, the pipeline can also comprise a converter and a manipulator that respectively execute conversions and manipulations on the data.

For these selected data, meta-information is updated by incorporating additional information concerning scheduled procedure steps and performed procedure steps. This is done by maintaining referential integrity between image data, scheduled procedure steps and performed procedure steps.
