  • Publication number: 20240013922
    Abstract: Methods and systems for providing integrated diagnostic test requisition and clinical decision support are disclosed. A request for diagnostic test information for a patient is received from an electronic medical records (EMR) system. Diagnostic tests appropriate for the patient are determined based on the request, and fields of a user interface for requesting the tests are populated based on test definitions corresponding to each test. Test requisitions are generated and transmitted to a test provider in a test-provider format, and results are received from the test provider and standardized. Courses of action appropriate for the patient are determined and proposed based on the standardized results and biomarker definitions related to the patient's condition.

  • Patent number: 11858367
    Abstract: A loading dock safety system integrated with an electric vehicle charging station is disclosed. The system employs an electric vehicle charging station for charging electric vehicles and a safety control device for monitoring and controlling the loading dock safety equipment. The electric vehicle charging station has a charging connector with an electronically controlled latching mechanism to secure the charging connector to the charging port of the electric vehicle. During the process of loading and unloading cargo from the electric vehicle, the charging connector is locked to the charging port, which, in turn, prevents the EV from departing from the loading dock until the transfer of cargo is complete.

  • Publication number: 20230390757
    Abstract: Unitary measuring pipettes include a tubular body of biaxially oriented thermoplastic material, together with size reduction, elimination, and/or reorientation of longitudinally spaced, raised circumferential witness features, to mitigate or avoid interference between such witness features and graduated volumetric markings on an outside surface of the tubular body. Methods and apparatus for vacuum forming of unitary measuring pipettes are also provided. Gas permeable apertures or pores having a maximum width of no greater than 150 microns, in ranges of 10-100 microns, 10-50 microns, or subranges thereof, may be defined in face plates or inserts received by mold blanks, or defined in molding surface of cooperating mold bodies, and may be used to produce a tubular pipette body having reduced height witness features. Cooperating mold bodies may each be produced from multiple mold body sections with gas passages defined therein and/or therebetween.
