Abstract: Embodiments provided herein facilitate the monitoring and management of regular healthcare tasks for patients in a healthcare system, e.g., “nurse rounding” tasks. These embodiments include providing a button or other activator that is associated with a patient and a timer that is associated with the patient and that represents the time since a rounding task was last performed for the patient. Activation of the activator by a nurse or other healthcare provider causes the patient's timer to reset. The status of the timers for a number of patients can be provided on a display, e.g., at a nurse station, to allow nurses or other healthcare providers to know at a glance which patients are currently, or likely to soon become, in need of another rounding care visit. The activator output can also be automatically registered in order to monitor performance of rounding tasks for the patient over time.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein relate generally to plant extract compositions and methods to isolate cutin-derived monomers, oligomers, and mixtures thereof for application in agricultural coating formulations, and in particular, to methods of preparing plant extract compositions that include functionalized and non-functionalized fatty acids and fatty esters (as well as their oligomers and mixtures thereof), which are substantially free from accompanying plant-derived compounds (e.g., proteins, polysaccharides, phenols, lignans, aromatic acids, terpenoids, flavonoids, carotenoids, alkaloids, alcohols, alkanes, and aldehydes) and can be used in agricultural coating formulations.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and computer-readable media for determining instances of parity drift in target cloud computing systems as well as determining when instances of parity drift require addressing. For example, in various implementations, a cloud parity drift detection system compiles information about services, configurations, versions, etc. along with additional data from a reference cloud system into a job package and provides the job package to one or more target cloud computing systems. The cloud parity drift detection system can then utilize the job package to compare corresponding information on the reference cloud system to a target data set of the target cloud system to determine instances of parity drift at the target cloud system. Additionally, the cloud parity drift detection system can determine and act when instances of parity drift require addressing.

Abstract: A system, method, and apparatus for integrated resource planning for satellite systems are disclosed. The method involves obtaining user communication demand for at least one region. The method further involves generating a beam map comprising at least one beam for each of the regions according to the user communication demand. Also, the method involves generating at least one configuration profile for the satellite system by using the beam map. Additionally, the method involves performing a performance analysis by comparing: the user communication demand versus one of the configuration profiles, the user communication demand versus actual communication demand, one of the configuration profiles versus the actual communication demand, and/or one of the configuration profiles versus another one of the configuration profiles.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a content assembly platform (CAP) presents a structured user interface arranged for structured receipt of authored content. The CAP receives content for a content piece via the structured user interface. The CAP presents the received content via the structured user interface according to a set of predetermined content-display rules. The CAP stores the received content in a content management system (CMS) for online publication of the content piece according to the predetermined set of content-display rules. The CAP receives an instruction to publish the content piece to a print-production system, and responsively packages the received content in a print-production-system-readable format and transmits the packaged content to the print-production system.
