Abstract: A PC-based access method between an EMR system and an Internet-based PHR account is disclosed. A doctor inquires and creates the EMR data on a patient recorded in the EMR system of a hospital/medical clinic using an EMR access module installed in a doctor's office terminal and, accesses a PHR account of a patient that resides on the Internet and inquires and creates the PHR data on the patient stored in a PHR system.

Abstract: A kettle including an upper portion including a hollow center and a first opening and a second opening, a spout portion removably attached to the upper portion and removably attached to a base portion, wherein the spout portion includes a top spout side and a bottom spout side, and wherein the spout includes variable diameter, a base portion including a tea strainer, the base portion including at least a base section, the base section comprising a material configured to exhibit increased magnetic properties in response to the application of heat, and a trivet portion, the trivet portion at least partially comprised of a magnetic material, and wherein the trivet portion is sized to mate with the base section.

Abstract: A system for and a method of transmitting descriptive prescription between a doctor and a patient are disclosed.

Abstract: An ergonomic wiper dispensing system includes a containing portion adapted for containing a roll of wiper material, and an ergonomically designed dispensing portion attached to the containing portion. The ergonomically designed dispensing portion includes a visual cue to direct the user's attention thereto, and a gripping device to assist the user in grasping and holding. The ergonomically designed dispensing portion further includes a uniquely designed dispensing port for dispensing individual wipers from the roll of wiper material.

Abstract: A polymeric film, multiple-compartment, pouch having an internal frangible seal for confining a fluid and related beverage container with a re-closable fitment for storing and delivering two different flavored liquids or the like. The frangible seal of the clear plastic pouch will burst when sustained squeezed thus allowing the flavors to swirl and mix within the pouch.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a probe card that a probe of the probe card is movable only in a vertical direction using a trench to improve a electrical or a mechanical characteristic and to automatically limit the vertical movement thereof within a predetermined range. A pitch may be reduced so as to correspond to a decreasing distance between pads. A flatness of a probe tip may be maintained within a few micrometers using a semiconductor manufacturing process. 32 simultaneous parallel testing is possible contrary to a convention probe card. A wafer level testing is possible, and time and cost for a wafer testing are reduced.

Abstract: Disclosed is a plastic fitment with child-safe properties for attachment to a container component of film-like plastic material, including a tubular body portion defining a through passage having axially spaced ends, a welding rib, and a cap. Also disclosed are flexible pouch or beverage package comprising the fitment and a process for using the fitment.

Abstract: A method is provided for controlling an engine in a vehicle to facilitate determination of engine position sensor correction factors. The vehicle includes a motor, which is operatively connected to the engine, a sensor configured to detect engine position, and a controller, which is in communication with the engine, the sensor and the motor. It is determined when an engine shutdown is requested, for example, when the controller commands the vehicle to be powered by the motor. It is next determined whether engine position sensor correction factors are known. If they are, the engine control routine is stopped. If the correction factors are not known, fuel to the engine is discontinued, and the motor is employed to spin the engine at an approximately constant speed. The engine position sensor correction factors can then be determined while the engine is rotating in a defueled state.

Abstract: A plastic fitment with child-safe properties for attachment to a container component of film-like plastic material, includes a tubular body portion defining a through passage having axially spaced ends. A plurality of welding ribs is formed integrally on the outer periphery of the body portion near one axial end of the through passage. Furthermore, a cap member is integrally formed on the body portion near the other axial end, said cap member sealing the through passage at one end. The cap member is attached to the body portion through a weakened portion that is adapted to break when a rotational force is exerted by hand on the cap member. Radially outwardly projecting, wing-like blades are formed on the cap member at diametrically opposite positions thereof so that a person can place his fingers thereon in order to apply the rotational force to the cap member.

Abstract: A method is presented for controlling fuel tank pressure in an internal combustion engine. The engine, the fuel tank and the carbon canister are connected in a three-way connection. The engine can be selectively isolated by a purge control valve, and the fuel tank can be selectively isolated by a fuel tank control valve. The operation of both valves is coordinated by an electronic engine controller. By isolating the fuel tank during the carbon canister purge, better estimate of the fuel fraction flowing into the engine can be achieved, thereby improving fuel economy.

Abstract: A method is presented for controlling fuel tank pressure in an internal combustion engine. The engine, the fuel tank and the carbon canister are connected in a three-way connection. The engine can be selectively isolated by a purge control valve, and the fuel tank can be selectively isolated by a fuel tank control valve. The operation of both valves is coordinated by an electronic engine controller. By isolating the fuel tank during the carbon canister purge, vapor spikes into the engine are eliminated, thus preventing engine stalls. Also, canister durability is improved by continuously storing and purging vapors in opposite directions.
