  • Publication number: 20220165397
    Abstract: Examples described herein generally relate to a system and methods for registering a user with an online service. An application server receives, from a health care provider, first patient identifying information and second patient identifying information for a new account. The server transmits a message to the patient based on the second patient identifying information, the message including a unique access code for the patient. The server receives, from a client application via a secure link, a user access code and user identifying information. The server verifies that the user access code matches the unique access code and the user identifying information matches the first patient identifying information. The server requests, in response to the verifying, a new username and password via the client application. The server associates the new username and password with the new account, the online service, the first and second patient identifying information.

  • Publication number: 20220165390
    Abstract: Examples described herein generally relate to a system and methods for providing a digital therapeutic for treatment of psychological aspects of an oncological condition. The digital therapeutic may generate a user interface on a user device. The user interface includes a fictional health care provider avatar and plurality of fictional patient avatars. Each fictional patient avatar associated with a distinct patient archetype. The digital therapeutic may output a prompt from the fictional health care provider avatar. The digital therapeutic may output an avatar response to the prompt from at least one selected avatar of the plurality of fictional patient avatars based on the distinct patient archetype associated with the selected avatar. The digital therapeutic may receive, from the patient, a patient response to the prompt. The digital therapeutic may select a subsequent prompt or avatar response to output based on the patient response to the prompt.

  • Patent number: 8821475
    Abstract: A method for delivering a target volume of fluid to a destination is provided. The method includes delivering a first volume of fluid to the destination in increments each having approximately a first incremental volume, the first volume of fluid being less than the target volume and delivering a second volume of fluid to the destination in increments each having approximately a second incremental volume, the second incremental volume being less than the first incremental volume, such that the sum of the first volume and the second volume is approximately equal to the target volume.

  • Publication number: 20070247495
    Abstract: The invention provides a method of forming a charge electrode array for a binary continuous inkjet printer, the method including forming the charge electrodes and the driver circuitry for the charge electrodes using common process steps. The process steps are preferably those associated with polycrystalline silicon thin-film transistor technology. The invention further provides a charge electrode array for a binary continuous inkjet printer when formed according to the inventive method. Such an array may not only be formed integrally with the driver electronics, but also with a phase detector, a deflector, and a velocity detector.

  • Patent number: 6973373
    Abstract: A method and system for determining change in a fluid's flow rate within a line. The pressure variation in a second fluid, separated from the first by a pumping membrane, is measured in response to energy applied in a time-varying manner to the second fluid. From the response of the second fluid to the applied energy, changes in the flow rate of the first fluid are determined.

  • Patent number: 6301036
    Abstract: A bi-directional optical signal transmission network comprises an outbound (12) and an inbound (14) fibre each including an optical amplifier/repeater (18/24). An optical coupling (30, 38, 40) communicates between one of the fibres (12) to the output side of the amplifier/repeater (18) and the other fibre (14). The coupling includes a filter (40) which is arranged to permit transfer of a test signal wavelength between the outbound (12) and the inbound (14) fibre but which prevents transfer of unwanted traffic signal.

  • Patent number: 6223130
    Abstract: An apparatus, method, and computer program product for detection of fluid leakage through a membrane in a fluid flow control system. The fluid flow control system has a first chamber and a second chamber. A membrane is disposed between the first chamber and the second chamber. The second chamber has a connection to a pressure tank, the pressure tank has a fluid with a pressure, and the connection defines a fluid path. The method indudes in a first step, blocking the fluid path. The pressure of the fluid in the pressure tank is then adjusted. The pressure is measured in the pressure tank which creates a pressure measurement at each of a first set of multiple timed intervals while the fluid path is blocked and after the pressure is adjusted. A blocked pressure rate is calculated based on the pressure measurements in the pressure tank at the first set of multiple timed intervals. Next, the fluid path is unblocked.

  • Patent number: 6065941
    Abstract: A method and system for determining when a fluid has stopped flowing within a line. The pressure variation in a second fluid, separated from the first by a pumping membrane, is measured in response to energy applied in a time-varying manner to the second fluid. From the response of the second fluid to the applied energy, it is determined whether the first fluid has stopped flowing.
