Abstract: Interactive voice response (IVR) systems and methods for delivery of healthcare services (e.g., by one or more medical professionals, such as, for example, in a hospital or clinic). In some embodiments, the present systems can be configured to: prompt one or more users for a plurality of voice inputs with information associated with at least one of a patient and a user; and determine whether each of the plurality of voice inputs is consistent with records related to the patient or the one or more users. In some embodiments, the present systems can be configured to: during performance of a procedure on a patient, prompt one or more users to provide a plurality of voice inputs with information related to progress of the procedure or characteristics of the patient; and/or prompt the user to perform each of a plurality of steps of the procedure.

Abstract: A hand-held electric cheese grinder includes a body having a cheese grinder cylinder rotatably mounted within a chamber of the body and driven by a motor through a transmission mechanism the motor and transmission mechanism are operatively mounted inside the grinding cylinder so that a relative spatial room is provided above the grinder cylinder in the chamber to contain a cheese block to be ground. The cheese block is pressed down against the grinder cylinder by a plunger extending from a cover mounted to the top of the body. A base is preferably provided to support the body when not in operation. The base includes a changer for recharging batteries in the body and a cooling device to maintain a relatively low temperature in the chamber of the body.

Abstract: An electric cordless mill for grinding, for example peppercorns, comprising a first housing comprising an inner portion and an outer portion rotatably mounted thereon. Electrical switch means are provided in the housing and are operable upon relative rotary movement between the first and second portions. The housing further includes power means for use in powering the mill and is controlled by the switch means. A second housing is secured to the first housing via a bayonent connector means. The second housing includes an electric motor connected to the power means via a connector means. The motor drives a milling means, operation of which is controlled by the switch means. Door means are provided adjacent the discharge end of the milling means, operative control of which is effected by the switch means and a rotatably mounted adjustment ring is intermediate the first and second housings for use in adjusting the milling means whereby to provide a selected fineness of grind.
