Abstract: A system for managing conflicting rules within a rules based software engine related to pharmacy benefits is disclosed which has a server system for receiving information relating to a drug that may be prescribed to a patient, the drug having more than one prescribed formulations with one of the formulations being preferred over the other formulations, the server system for determining whether there is a conflict between the preferred formulation and the other formulations to provide an indication that the conflict exists and that the conflict should be resolved before the preferred drug may be displayed within an electronic health record, the server system for receiving information relating to the resolution of the conflict and for indicating that the conflict has been resolved, and the server system for allowing the preferred drug to be prescribed to the patient once the conflict has been resolved.

Abstract: A composite recovery board (10, 20, 30) comprises a foam core (11) having lower (12) and upper (13) surfaces, wherein the foam core is selected from the group consisting of polyisocyanurate and polyurethane materials and mixtures thereof, and a filler within said foam core selected from the group consisting of rubber-tire vents, EPDM scrap material, plastic chips, polyurethane scrap, polyisocyanurate scrap, scrap rubber from recycled tires, wood chips, fiberglass strands and mixtures thereof. A method of re-roofing a roof comprising applying composite boards (10, 20, 30) of the present invention to a roof deck and applying a weather protective layer over the composite boards. A continuous method of making composite recovery boards (10) of the present invention comprises is also provided.

Abstract: A crank apparatus for a manually powered cycle comprises a crank assembly and a pair of guide devices. The crank assembly includes a shaft, a first crank lever attached to a first end of the shaft and a second crank lever attached to a second end of the shaft. Each crank lever includes a fixed crank lever member attached to the shaft, a movable crank lever member movably attached to the fixed crank lever member and a follower device attached to the movable crank lever member. The pair of guide devices each includes a guide feature defining a non-concentric guide path with respect to a rotational axis of the shaft. The follower device of each one of the crank levers is engaged with the guide feature of a respective one of the guide devices whereby the movable crank lever member of each one of the crank levers moves between a respective retracted position and a respective extended position with respect to the fixed crank lever member when the crank assembly is rotated about the rotational axis of the shaft.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for cooling articles, particularly having applications for chilling extrusions, food, and similar articles, utilizing a vaporized cryogen in combination with conventional refrigeration. The vaporized cryogen provides a substantially dry atmosphere from which an evaporator of the conventional refrigeration unit may remove energy. The vaporized cryogen may be circulated at a controlled velocity to provide improved temperature control in the system.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for using a cryogen for cooling articles, particularly having applications for chilling extrusions, food, and similar articles, utilizing dispersion of liquid cryogen into a feed chamber wherein it is substantially vaporized and then circulated through a cooling chamber containing the article to be cooled. A circulation device can circulate the vaporized cryogen through the cooling chamber, or through the article, at a variably controllable velocity to enhance the cooling efficiency using the principle of forced air convection and to provide improved temperature control in the system.
