  • Patent number: 9662049
    Abstract: Oncology monitoring systems include: (a) a first plurality of radiation sensors configured to reside proximate a target tumor treatment site of a patient, the sensors being configured to provide radiation data associated with the tumor treatment site; and (b) a first portable receiver in communication with the plurality of sensors. The receiver is configured to obtain radiation data from the sensors at a plurality of different times. The receiver is in communication with a local and/or remote computer that tracks variation in the radiation data to provide dynamic tumor site information.

  • Patent number: 8065415
    Abstract: The present invention relates to systems, methods, and computer readable media for generating custom administrative tools. An administrative framework is provided that abstracts the implementation of certain administrative functions. A management Application Programming Interface (API) receives calls submitted in a preconfigured format from interface components generated by a developer or third party. The management API processes the calls and performs the functions associated with the calls. Multiple implementations are provided, through which an interface component can access the management API.

  • Patent number: 7890877
    Abstract: A portal can be generated using a portal designer allowing dragging and dropping of components into a display. The dragging and dropping of components can initiate the update of a display, such as a design view and/or a hierarchal display and the update of a portal file. The portal file can be used to generate the portal. The portal designer can include a property editor window for editing a selected component.

  • Patent number: 7787937
    Abstract: Methods and systems for evaluating external beam radiation therapy delivered to a subject include: (a) placing at least one wireless implantable sensor in a first subject at a target location; (b) administering a first dose of radiation therapy into the first subject; (c) obtaining radiation data from the at least one wireless implantable sensor; and (d) calculating a radiation dose amount received by the first subject at the target location based on the radiation data obtained from the at least one wireless sensor during and/or after exposure to the first administered dose of radiation to determine and/or verify a dose amount of radiation delivered to the target location.

  • Patent number: 7779854
    Abstract: A relatively inexpensive robust attachment strategy that insures good perpendicularity between a valve member and an armature utilizes an intervening nut between the armature and valve member. A valve member is received in a guide bore of a valve body. A nut is threaded onto one end of a valve member. The armature is press fit onto a orientation neutral interface of the nut, and a fixture is utilized to set near perfect perpendicularity between an air gap plane of the armature and a centerline of the valve member. The armature is then welded to the valve member. The weld may be accomplished via laser welding while the valve assembly is firmly held in an appropriate position within the fixture. The valve assembly may be then incorporated into a fuel injector stack of components in a conventional manner.

  • Publication number: 20070186343
    Abstract: A plumbing fitting has a putty groove defined between an internal insert and an external decorative shell. In one form, a terminal end of the shell also captures the insert inside the housing. This allows formation of a deep putty groove even in those circumstances where the outer shell is very thin and is flared at the bottom.

  • Publication number: 20070006069
    Abstract: Embodiments provide methods and mechanisms for organizing portal content that can enable a newly created portal element, i.e., a subsection of a portal, to be persisted as an externally, self-contained entity that can be created for the element and referenced by a control tree for the portal. A control tree includes information organized hierarchically or otherwise that is used to control serving of portal content. Externally persisted self-contained entities can be created for many types of portal elements.
