  • Publication number: 20240152939
    Abstract: A system and method of reporting a contextual record, are described. Population data representing respective population segments of a first partner and a second partner is received. The respective population segments include a record overlapping between the first partner and the second partner. A first match time at which the record has a first record status for one of the partners is determined. In response to a change in the first record status to a second record status for one of the partners, a second match time of the record is determined. Report data, including the first match time and the second match time, is generated for display to represent a history of the record statuses.

  • Patent number: 9289354
    Abstract: A pill organizer having a plurality of storage compartments in which pills can be stored. The device includes a housing having recessed areas in which several elongated containers can be removably positioned. The elongated containers are separated into multiple compartments each having a hinged lid. The compartments are arranged in a grid so as to represent the days of the month. The compartments further include numbered indicia on the lid thereof. The housing further includes a digital display thereon for showing the day of the month, and optionally the full date and time. A notepad is provided on the housing for allowing the user to write notes and reminders regarding his or her medication. Thus, the present invention provides a device that allows a user to more easily store and organize his or her medications.

  • Patent number: 6330137
    Abstract: A magnetoresistive device includes an insulating barrier formed of carbon. In particular, the carbon can be diamond-like carbon, and more particularly, the carbon can be tetrahedral amorphous carbon (t-aC). The insulating barrier can be disposed between the free layer and pinned layer of a spin valve read sensor or otherwise incorporated with other various read sensor configurations. The insulating barrier is configured to increase a resistance of the read sensor with which it is incorporated, and thereby to increase the read signal. Such a barrier can be formed by cathodic arc deposition techniques, with substantially defect-free thicknesses from about 5 Å and above, and band gap values in the range of about 1 eV to about 5.4 eV.

  • Patent number: 4135604
    Abstract: A vanity storing step utilizes an L shaped plate, one leg of which is secured to the interior floor portion of a vanity carrying a sink, the other leg of which extends upwardly towards the base of the sink. A pair of plates are secured extending transverse to the upwardly extending leg having the uppermost edge adjacent to the floor of the sink, carrying a pair of pivot rods therein. The pivot rods are secured to a pair of beams to which are attached a pair of legs and a stair tread straddling the beams. When not in use, the stair tread is pivoted upwardly and inwardly below the sink floor to a stored position within the vanity carrying the sink. In a use position, the legs have their lowermost portions reside on the floor in front of the cabinet such that the stair tread is disposed in a horizontal position above the floor and adjacent the front of the vanity, thereby providing convenient elevation for children utilizing the sink.
