Abstract: As patient video images are captured in a lab, they are converted into an uncompressed data set and stored locally on a hospital site server, where they are immediately viewable by diagnosticians in the hospital. The hospital site server generates a plurality of compressed data sets for use by the Internet Data Center. Additionally, the uncompressed data set and a plurality of compressed data sets are stored permanently on a centralized Internet Data Center, from which they can be searched out and displayed by any client device running web-browser software. A client is provided with immediate access to the uncompressed images when pausing and requesting the images of interest from the server. The patient video images are automatically delivered to any authorized Clinical Research Organizations, they are delivered back to the treating hospital when the patient returns for subsequent visits, and are viewable through in-hospital viewing stations over a private high-speed network.

Abstract: A method of dispensing a prescription drug to a customer includes receiving a prescription for a particular customer from an authorized medical professional, choosing from an inventory of drugs a prescription drug to fill the prescription, creating a finished prescription by filling the prescription with the chosen prescription drug, and placing the finished prescription in a dispenser. The dispenser is connected to a computer, which identifies the finished prescription and controls the dispenser to dispense the finished prescription to the particular customer.

Abstract: A balance board for exercise and amusement having a gyrating and rocking user platform. The balance board simulates the sensation of sports, such as, for example surfing, skiing, etc. The device is constructed of two principle components, namely, a base having a half semi-bulbous shape having a larger dimension at one end tapered toward the other end with a curvilinear smooth outer surface and a generally planar user support platform forming an upper surface of and attached to the base. The user support platform is angled slightly upwardly at one end. The base can be constructed of a smooth plastic or the like and the user platform of plastic, wood or the like with a non-slip user outer surface covering.
