Publication number: 20090051526Abstract: A system and method for managing workflow is provided. The system includes one or more computer devices which execute workflow software to assign tasks to medical staff. The workflow software may be configured to assign tasks to persons on the medical staff based on a set of criteria including the person's current location or zone, the locations or zones in which other uncompleted tasks are located, and whether the person has a particular pieced of medical equipment. The system may include portable wireless communication devices and an interactive voice recognitions (IVR) subsystem to permit persons on the staff to communicate information by voice to the computer devices via the portable wireless communication devices and to receive audio messages from the computer devices via the wireless communication devices. The workflow software may be configured to display a staff screen in which the displayed data is filtered by medical staff role and sorted by medical staff identification.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 27, 2008Publication date: February 26, 2009Inventors: Steven E. Spear, Wendy R. Larson, Jeffery A. Martin

Patent number: 7086196Abstract: An apparatus and method for detecting and/or controlling subterranean termites. A station at least partially receivable within a cavity has at least one opening therein to provide access by the termites to an interior volume of the station. The apparatus also includes an aggregation base attractive to the termites received within the interior volume of the station. The aggregation base includes at least one void for forming an aggregation site for the termites. The apparatus further includes a replaceable container received within the interior volume of the station and positioned adjacent the aggregation base. The container has at least one opening in a surface thereof facing the aggregation base to permit the passage of termites from the aggregation base to an interior chamber of the container.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2003Date of Patent: August 8, 2006Assignee: Whitmire Micro-Gen Research Laboratories, Inc.Inventors: James H.

Publication number: 20060142800Abstract: An infant teething and feeding apparatus having a child-proof locking mechanism, reducing the likelihood of the assembled apparatus becoming inadvertently or prematurely disassembled by a young child and, in turn, preventing an associated food containing member from becoming separated from the overall device, absent intervention by an adult, and thus becoming a choking hazard to the child. A handle assembly of the apparatus includes a cooling insert for chilling, or maintaining the chilled condition, of food contained within the food containing member. A cap, or cover is provided to assist in maintaining the freshness of food contained within the apparatus, as well as to prevent the food contained within the apparatus from soiling clothing or other objects while the apparatus is being transported.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 27, 2004Publication date: June 29, 2006Applicant: Sassy, Inc.Inventors: James Charameda, Kim Hayes, Timothy Edwards, Jeffery Martin, Rene Polin
