Abstract: The present invention includes aspects of a designer program or tool for customizing a clinical trial program to a particular protocol of a particular clinical trial. The designer program includes visual cues or mechanisms for organizing trial components within the designer program in a straightforward manner such that technically low skilled designers can implement often complex trial protocols. In an embodiment, the designer program includes validation scripts that test functions, derivations, queries and the like. Moreover, use of the designer program can include development of trial libraries that can make customizations reusable, scalable, and highly efficient.

Abstract: A system and method for recording a session is provided. One session related to first and second parties may be established. Another session related to the first party and a recording server may be established. The sessions may be joined, and the common session may be recorded by the recording server. A recorded session may be stored and played back.

Abstract: A system and method for integration and synchronization of interactive content with television programming uses existing analog or digital television programming that is entirely devoid of interactive content, or can integrate legacy interactive content with fully interactive content to provide a complete interactive experience to television viewers of current and future television programming that is synchronized to the original television content.

Abstract: A system and method for interaction with television programming uses either existing analog television programming with interactive content transmitted via separate communications channel or digital television with embedded interactive content in conjunction with a powerful viewer interface to provide a fully interactive television experience that is dynamic and personalized to each viewer.

Abstract: A system for manually and automatically generating interactive content for integration with television programming uses existing analog or digital television programming that is entirely devoid of interactive content, or can integrate legacy interactive content with fully interactive content generated automatically and/or with authoring tools in order to provide a complete interactive experience to television viewers of current and future television programming.

Abstract: A snap-on ground retainer for a fastener of the type having a shank, the shank having a head at one end and a threaded portion along its length. The ground retainer comprises a relatively thin sheet metal and includes a washer-like member having an external annular body portion and an inner tooth portion, the inner tooth portion comprises a plurality of circumferentially spaced teeth extending radially inwardly from an inner margin of the washer-like member. The plurality of circumferentially spaced teeth comprise a plurality of resilient retaining teeth and a plurality of rigid grounding teeth, an inner diameter defined by the rigid grounding teeth is slightly larger than a maximum diameter of the threaded portion on the fastener and an inner diameter defined by the resilient retaining teeth is slightly smaller than a maximum diameter of the threaded portion on the fastener with which the ground retainer is adapted to be telescopically associated.
