  • Publication number: 20150189081
    Abstract: Systems and methods for distributing data associated with a caller to a mobile device, in which the caller data may be presented by the mobile device upon receiving a first incoming call from the caller, are provided. In some embodiments, an image associated with the caller may be obtained by the mobile device such that the image may be displayed along with other call screening data during a first incoming call from the caller. In some embodiments, termination of the incoming call is held by a service control point while the data is transmitted to the mobile device over a data channel. Once termination of the incoming call is released by the service control point, the mobile device receives the incoming call and may present the data as call screening information. In some embodiments, the data channel may include a warm socket.

  • Publication number: 20140266620
    Abstract: A specimen holder includes an RFID tag that exhibits an RFID unique identifier. The specimen holder also includes a barcode that exhibits a barcode unique identifier. The user may place a specimen holder in a particular rack slot of a multiple slot specimen rack that is situated on a specimen reader. The specimen reader may receive this specimen holder at accession time. The specimen reader reads both the RFID tag and the barcode of the newly inserted specimen holder. The specimen reader may correlate the RFID unique identifier and barcode unique identifier with one another and store the RFID unique identifier and barcode unique identifier associated with one another in a database. The database may also associate the RFID unique identifier and barcode unique identifier of the newly inserted specimen holder with a rack slot unique identifier that the database also stores.
