Abstract: Certain examples provide systems, methods, and apparatus for a content-based clinical information system. An example system includes a reference platform to define and provide core system capabilities and to interpret and execute content items while remaining application neutral. The example system includes a plurality of content items authored independent of the reference platform to define clinical functionality for one or more content-based clinical applications by leveraging the reference platform. In the example system, the plurality of content items is to be created and deployed independently of the creation and deployment of the one or more content-based clinical applications. The plurality of content items is to remain independent of the implementation of the reference platform to allow independent evolution of the platform and the one or more content-based clinical applications.

Abstract: While gold wire grids have been used to polarize infrared wavelengths for over a hundred years, they are not appropriate for shorter wavelengths due to their large period. With embodiments of the present invention, grids with periods a few tens of nanometers can be fabricated. Among other things, such grids can be used to polarize visible and even ultraviolet light. As a result, such wire grid polarizers have a wide variety of applications and uses, such as, e.g., in the fabrication of semiconductors, nanolithography, and more.

Abstract: Certain examples provide systems, apparatus, and methods for content-driven healthcare location relationship management. An example method includes receiving one or more location identifiers for a content-based clinical application. The example method includes assigning one or more locations to a source role and a target role based on the one or more location identifiers and an ontology, the ontology including a plurality of relationship types. The example method includes identifying a relationship between the source role and the target role based on the one or more location identifiers and the ontology. The example method includes associating the source role and target role based on the identified relationship. The example method includes utilizing the source role, target role, and identified relationship to configure one or more content items forming the content-based clinical application.
