Abstract: Systems and methods of decentralized block chain voting are provided. Polling data that includes a plurality of polling options and an option identifier associated with each polling option is retrieved. A customized cryptographic currency address is generated for each of the plurality of polling options based on the corresponding option identifier associated with each polling option. A specified amount of cryptographic tokens are transferred to the customized cryptographic currency address for a selected polling option. The transfer is broadcast to a cryptographic currency network for confirmation and inclusion within a block chain ledger of the cryptographic currency network.

Abstract: A method for filling a dispensing bag includes inserting a collapsed bag within a chamber of a bin and securing a lower end of the collapsed bag to the bin. After securing the lower end of the collapsed bag to the bin, a hoist coupled to an upper end of the collapsed bag is manipulated so that the hoist raises the upper end of the collapsed bag within the chamber while the lower end of the collapsed bag remains secured to the bin so as to expand the collapsed bag within the chamber of the bin.

Abstract: A method for filling a dispensing bag includes inserting a collapsed bag within the chamber of a bin, the chamber being bounded by a floor and an upstanding sidewall. A first port formed on the collapsed bag is securely fixed within a port hole formed on the floor of the bin. A hoist mounted on the bin is manipulated so that the hoist raises an upper end of the collapsed bag within the chamber while the first port remains fixed within the port hole so as to expand the collapsed bag within the chamber of the bin.

Abstract: A fluid bin assembly includes a bin having a floor with a side wall upstanding from the floor. The floor and the side wall bound a chamber. An opening extends through the floor and communicates with the chamber. One or more retention plates are removably mounted to the floor of the bin so as to at least partially cover the opening extending through the floor. The retention plates at least partially bound one or more portholes that openly communicate with the chamber of the bin.

Abstract: A fluid bin assembly includes a bin having a floor with a side wall upstanding therefrom. The floor and the side wall bound a chamber. The floor has an opening extending therethrough that communicates with the chamber. A retention plate is removably mounted to the floor of the bin so as to at least partially cover the opening extending therethrough. The retention plate at least partially bounds a porthole that openly communicates with the chamber of the bin.

Abstract: A feed bag includes a body bounding a compartment, the compartment being adapted to hold a feed material. The body has a first end with an outlet formed thereat and an opposing second end. A vent port is formed on the body so as to communicate with the compartment. In one embodiment a filter is coupled with the vent port. A fluid port is formed on the body so as to communicate with the compartment. The fluid port is adapted to receive a fluid line for delivering a fluid into the compartment of the body.

Abstract: A method for mixing a solution includes positioning a collapsible container within a chamber of a substantially rigid tank. The collapsible container bounds a compartment. A mixer is disposed within the compartment of the container. Two or more components are fed into the compartment of the container. At least one of the components is a liquid. The mixer is raised and lowered within the compartment of the container so as to mix the components.

Abstract: A method includes identifying and prioritizing goals and objectives for an information technology project in a healthcare environment. A governance group is selected to serve as a decision maker throughout the technology project. The identified and prioritized goals are used as a basis for developing a project plan and deciding upon desired outcomes for the technology project. Predefined process flows are associated with the project plan. Optimal scenarios for the predefined process flows are presented to the governance group at a decision meeting. A process flow is decided upon and the project plan is implemented.

Abstract: A mixing tank assembly includes a side wall having an interior surface at least partially bounding a chamber. A floor is disposed within or at the base of the chamber. The floor can be either fixed to the side wall or movably disposed within the chamber thereof. A collapsible container is disposed within the chamber so as to rest on the floor. The collapsible container bounds a compartment. A mixer is disposed within the compartment of the container.

Abstract: A mixing system includes a flexible mixing bag having an interior surface bounding a compartment, the compartment being adapted to hold a liquid solution. A mixer is disposed within the compartment of the mixing bag. A shaft has a first end and an opposing second end. The first end of the shaft is connected to the mixer within the compartment of the mixing bag. The second end of the shaft is disposed outside of the compartment. A seal is formed between the mixing bag and the shaft or the mixer to enable the shaft to raise and lower the mixer within the compartment of the mixing bag while preventing leaking of the liquid solution.

Abstract: A software system is provided for a conventional appointment calendar system having a calendar database for storing appointment information for plural appointment entries. The software system utilizes the date, time duration and descriptive appointment information for each appointment entry as the starting point for generating timecard records for export to an external accounting system. The software system is provided with an administrative interface for entering project information for each of a plurality of projects, a timecard user interface for creating timecard records by associating a selected calendar appointment entry with a selected one of the predefined projects, and a data export module for exporting the timecard records to the external accounting system.
