Abstract: Configuration technologies for apportioning resources and communicating indications of potential or actual incentives based on one or more measurements or other objective indications that therapeutic components have been administered to an individual, other attributes of the therapeutic components or the individual, or other such determinants. Techniques for apportioning resources cost-effectively (between providers and other parties, e.g.) and for facilitating or handling implementations thereof or output therefrom.

Abstract: A system and method for measuring a performance of an entity and for predicting its future performance is disclosed. Raw information about the entity is collected from internal and external sources. The information is cleaned to exclude false positives. Using performance categories, the information is organized and transformed into meaningful data for the performance analysis engine. The information is normalized by scaling the meaningful data by industry type. A performance score is calculated by the performance analysis engine based on the normalized data. Further, a competitive relationship score is calculated based on the performance score and the normalized data. These scores are reported in a user interface displaying the performance of the entity and are used as inputs, among other factors, to a predictive analysis engine that assesses the future performance of the entities.

Abstract: An apparatus for flow rate measurement includes a body having a chamber with an inlet and an outlet and a structure, buoyant in the presence of a fluid, disposed in the chamber. The structure moves to a position in the chamber in proportion to a flow rate of the fluid flowing from the inlet to the outlet.

Abstract: A clamp having a first clamp body, a second clamp body, and a clamping structure coupled to at least one of the first and second clamp bodies. One or both of the clamp bodies form a channel adapted to receive a tube. The clamping structure is movable in the channel to control the flow rate of a fluid flowing through the tube. In one embodiment, the clamp is provided as a rotary clamp having clamp bodies that are adapted to be rotated relative to each other to control the flow rate of a fluid through a tube disposed in the rotary clamp. The rotary clamp has a substantially linear, or otherwise pre-determined, relationship between flow rate of a fluid flowing through the tube and rotation of the second clamp body.

Abstract: The apparatus for flow rate control of a fluid provides a roller clamp having either a clamp body with a non-linear clamp body surface or a clamp body with a non-linear adjustment roller track, which, when coupled to a tube, provides a linear, or otherwise pre-determined, relationship between flow rate of a fluid flowing through the tube and adjustment of the roller clamp.
