Publication number: 20150109358Abstract: The present invention relates to electronic reading devices, a display driver, a method of driving a display and a method of reducing degradation of a pixel value in a display driven to display a target image. A target image is received, and a pixel influence value for each of the pixels in the target image is determined. A compensation image is generated using the pixel influence value for each of the pixels in the target image, where the compensation image comprising pixel compensation value data for a plurality of pixels in the compensation image, and where the pixel compensation value data representing a colour for a pixel in the compensation image. A display compensation drive signal is then generated using the compensation image and the display driven using the display compensation drive signal to display the compensation image to reduce the degradation in a pixel value.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 20, 2013Publication date: April 23, 2015Inventors: Jeremy Hills, Will Reeves

Publication number: 20150039333Abstract: Computer implemented systems and methods of health care claim data analysis are provided by storing a claim data set in a computer database, including patient information and a DRG assignment based on at least primary and secondary diagnosis codes. A nominal DRG weight is determined for the claim data set, using a processor in communication with the computer database. An alternate DRG weight is determined for the claim data set by swapping the primary and secondary diagnosis codes. A claim rating is generated for the claim data set, based at least in part on a difference between the nominal and alternate DRG weights. The claim rating is output to a user interface in communication with the processor.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 1, 2014Publication date: February 5, 2015Inventors: Jean de Traversay, Yuriy Glagovskiy, Jeremy Hill, Opoku Adu-Gyamfi

Publication number: 20150039334Abstract: Computer implemented systems and methods of health care claim analysis are provided by storing a claim data set in a computer database, including patient information and a DRG assignment based on at least a primary diagnosis code and one or more associated procedure codes. A nominal DRG weight is determined for the claim data set, using a processor in communication with the computer database. The processor looks up an alternate procedure code in the database, and determines an alternate DRG weight for the claim data set by swapping the associated procedure code with the alternate procedure code. A claim score is output to a user interface in communication with the processor, based at least in part on a difference between the nominal and alternate DRG weights.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 1, 2014Publication date: February 5, 2015Inventors: Jean de Traversay, Yuriy Glagovskiy, Jeremy Hill, Opoku Adu-Gyamfi

Publication number: 20150011833Abstract: An orifice introducer device for introducing, e.g., a surgical device, into, e.g., an orifice of a body, includes a tubular member having a distal end and a proximal end. The distal end is adjustable between a first position for insertion into an orifice and a second position once inserted into the orifice. Alternatively, the orifice introducer device includes a distal portion having a proximal end configured to be detachably secured to the distal end of the tubular member. The distal portion is selectively detachable when the orifice introducer device is positioned in the orifice.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 18, 2014Publication date: January 8, 2015Inventors: Michael P. Whitman, Gerald Dorros, Jeremy Hill

Publication number: 20110244581Abstract: An apparatus for and method of analyzing a biologic fluid sample is provided. The method includes the steps of: a) providing a sample cartridge having at least one channel for fluid sample passage; b) providing an analysis device having imaging hardware, a programmable analyzer, and a sample motion system, which sample motion system includes a bidirectional fluid actuator operable to selectively move a bolus of sample axially within the channel, and to cycle the bolus back and forth within the channel; and c) cycling the bolus of sample disposed within the channel at a predetermined frequency until constituents within the sample are substantially uniformly distributed, using the bidirectional fluid actuator.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 31, 2011Publication date: October 6, 2011Applicant: Abbott Point of Care, Inc.Inventors: Igor Nikonorov, Niten V. Lalpuria, Jeremy Hill, John Wieners, Anil S. Patil, Robert Levine, Benjamin Ports, Darryn Unfricht
