  • Publication number: 20210210183
    Abstract: Various embodiments herein each include at least one of systems, methods, software, and data structures for semantic graph textual coding. While some embodiments are applicable to coding text of medical records for billing purposes, other embodiments are applicable to coding of any text, regardless to any number of different coding schemes, whether the coding scheme is a defined standard or an ad hoc code for a particular project. One method embodiment includes processing text of a new record to generate at least one concept molecule that represents semantic meaning of the text of the new record and comparing each of the at least one concept molecules to a set of target molecules to identify at least one closest matching target molecule to each of the at least one concept molecules. The method may then store a representation of a closest matching target molecule in association with the new record.

  • Patent number: 5291923
    Abstract: A reusable isolation structure features an easily cleanable shell. The opening of the shell includes a groove formed around the periphery thereof and is preferably not more than slightly smaller than an interior cross-section of the shell. A closure member (door) of the isolation structure is dimensioned to fit within the opening and has a resilient seal member clamped to the periphery of a backbone by front and rear plates. The front and rear plates cooperate with grooves formed in the backbone to define a preferred form of manifold for coupling pressure or a vacuum to the interior of the resilient seal member whereby the resilient seal member may be collapsed to allow removal of the closure member or allowed to expand or pressurized to provide secure closure member. A vacuum structure for handling the closure member simultaneously provides for evacuation and controlled collapse of the resilient seal member as well as containment of contamination of the exterior thereof.

  • Patent number: 5271516
    Abstract: A reusable isolation structure features an easily cleanable shell having viewing windows formed therein, each protected by a framing ridge or a recess integrally formed in the shell provides protection of contents from contamination, impact, vibration and tampering. Framing ridges or recesses also facilitate stacking of shells. The closure member opening of the shell includes a groove formed around the periphery thereof and is preferably not more than slightly smaller than an interior cross-section of the shell. A door of the isolation structure is dimensioned to fit within the closure member opening and has a resilient seal clamped to the periphery of a backbone by front and rear plates. The front and rear plates cooperate with grooves formed in the backbone to define a preferred form of manifold for coupling pressure or a vacuum to the interior of the resilient seal whereby the resilient seal may be collapsed to allow removal of the door or allowed to expand or pressurized to provide secure closure.

  • Patent number: 4838059
    Abstract: A hinged cover encloses a projecting portion of a deadbolt lock, the projecting portion having a keyhole therein. The cover includes two shells, each having an inwardly directed flange thereon. By means of a retainer unit provided with a groove, the flanges are received in the groove to prevent removal of the cover when an auxillary lock is employed to keep the cover in its mated relationship so as to conceal the projecting portion of the deadbolt lock and the keyhole contained therein.

  • Patent number: 4638335
    Abstract: A multi-layer optical recording member for use with a recording laser for optical recording and retrieving information thereon, as well as a method of fabricating and using said member is described. The optical recording member comprises in sequential order a structural substrate, a thermally degradable polymer layer, a light absorbing recording layer, a thermally degradable polymer dielectric layer, and a reflective layer. The substrate and the thermally degradable polymer layers are stable under ambient light and temperature conditions and substantially transparent to the recording and reading optical radiation. The combined thicknesses of the light absorbing layer and the dielectric layer are such as to provide anti-reflecting conditionsat the recording wavelength and optical contrast between marked and unmarked areas at the reading wavelength. The optical recording member may be used with a single laser source for both recording and reading.

  • Patent number: 4631938
    Abstract: The accessory locking device including hingedly connected shells having confrontable flanges that have convexly curved outer surface portions, each flange having a notch therein. A keeper tube has a slot so that the keeper tube is longitudinally slidable over the convexly curved portions of said flanges. Secured to the keeper tube is an auxiliary cylindrical lock having a projectable and retractable bolt, said bolt being projectable through a hole in the keeper tube so as to provide obstructive interference with the notches in said flanges. In this way, the keeper tube cannot be slidably withdrawn from the flanges until the bolt is fully retracted from the notches.

  • Patent number: 4147541
    Abstract: An improved electrostatographic process wherein the imaging surface of the imaging member is treated with a lubricating effective amount of a compound selected from the group consisting of ortho-, meta-, para-phthalic acid, their corresponding metal or ammonium salts, and mixtures thereof. Controlled treatment of the imaging surfaces of the imaging member with the above compound(s) facilitates transfer of the developed image from the imaging member to a receiving sheet and removal of toner residues from the imaging surface upon cleaning. The imaging member element of the apparatus used in carrying out this process is covered with a thin film of lubricant over substantially all of its imaging surface thereby greatly improving toner transfer and removal.
