  • Patent number: 11403593
    Abstract: Subject matter described herein is related to assigning a healthcare clinician to provide care to a patient. This disclosure describes tracking the location of a healthcare clinician. Based on the tracking, a resource-consumption score for a patient is generated. The resource-consumption score is used to predict whether a clinician has the capacity to be assigned to the patient. The clinician is assigned to patients based on predicted capacity.

  • Publication number: 20210206810
    Abstract: A detection of optimal genetic recombinants used to prepare target proteins, with assessment of their target-specific “upstream” productivity, genetic stability and means to optimize target protein “downstream” purification using customizable fluorescent tags. A scarless removable protein fusion makes it possible to identify recombinants of Pichia pastoris with optimal performance in heterologous protein production.

  • Patent number: 10515428
    Abstract: Subject matter described herein is related to assigning a healthcare clinician to provide care to a patient. For example, a GUI is provided that includes contextual information relevant to the assignment and that allows a user to electronically create the assignment. Relevant information includes a list of clinicians, a list of patients, and an estimate of the amount of resources required to provide care to a patient. In addition, this disclosure describes tracking the status of a healthcare clinician, such as primary provider, secondary provider, and on-break. Status might be tracked by capturing an image of a display board, which supports clinician barcodes that are movable to desired locations within a depiction of a healthcare facility (e.g., floor plan laid out using barcodes).

  • Publication number: 20190252414
    Abstract: The method for manufacturing a thin film transistor includes sequentially forming a gate electrode on a surface of a substrate, forming a gate insulating layer covering the surface of the substrate and the gate electrode, forming an active layer and an etching stop layer above the gate electrode, forming a metal layer including a first region covering the etching stop layer and a pair of second regions connecting both sides of the first region on the active layer, and forming a photosensitive layer on the metal layer; removing a portion of the photosensitive layer to expose a portion of the first region; removing the exposed portion of the first region with the remaining first region having a height same as the remaining photosensitive layer located at two opposite sides of the etching stop layer; and removing the remaining photosensitive layer.

  • Patent number: 10220141
    Abstract: Methods, computer systems, and computer readable media for transitioning a clinical care room from a first scene to a second scene in order to facilitate completion of a real-world activity are provided. The first scene in the clinical care room is presented where the clinical care room has one or more zones. The first scene is associated with a first group of setting for components within the one or more zones. An input corresponding to the real-world activity is received. Incident to receiving the input, the second scene is provided. The second scene is associated with a second group of settings for the components. The second group of setting is optimized to facilitate completion of the real-world activity.

  • Patent number: 9470460
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a heat exchanger for a power system. The heat exchanger includes a housing. The housing includes a first side and a second side. The second side is configured to be received in a receptacle of a power system enclosure. The heat exchanger includes at-least one heat exchange tube supported between one or more of side walls of the housing. The heat exchanger includes a screen attached to the second side of the housing. The screen includes at-least one inlet opening for the heat exchange tube, and at-least one outlet opening for the heat exchange tube. The heat exchanger further includes a flange attached to the first side of the housing wherein the flange is configured to be removably attached to an outer surface around the receptacle of the power system enclosure.

  • Patent number: 8972297
    Abstract: The systems and methods described herein allow greater access to a banking platform via a mobile device. The customer can initiate a financial transaction using a mobile device, a bank can inform the customer of the nearest financial transaction terminal to perform that service, and the customer can complete that financial transaction at the financial transaction terminal using the mobile device as a user interface. While conventional systems may use a mobile device to transmit payment information at a point of sale terminal of a brick-and-mortar merchant, the embodiments described herein can allow a customer to conduct a transaction at a financial transaction terminal using the mobile device to initiate a transaction at a location away from a financial transaction terminal, to locate the nearest financial transaction terminal providing the required services, and as a user interface while communicating with the financial transaction terminal.

  • Patent number: 8830228
    Abstract: A technique for enabling the use of a baseboard management controller in a computer system configured to stream 3D graphical user interfaces to remote clients is described. In an exemplary configuration, a cap driver that is written to conform to a driver model that can interface with a 3D graphics application program interface can be loaded for use with the baseboard management controller instead of a legacy driver that was written to conform to a legacy driver model. This allows a control program to load a graphics driver that can interoperate with the 3D graphics application program interface. In addition to the foregoing, other aspects are described in the text of the summary and detailed description, the claims, and drawings.

  • Publication number: 20120245948
    Abstract: Subject matter described herein is related to estimating a quantity of resources that are consumed or expended when providing care to a patient. When estimating the quantity, non-clinical information might be used to draw various inferences. For example, information provided by a real-time location system might provide insight (e.g., duration, frequency, etc.) into instances in which a healthcare clinician visits a patient's room. In another example, information provided by a medical-device alarm system might provide insight into alarms that are triggered by equipment that monitors and/or provides assistance to a patient.
