  • Patent number: 8719068
    Abstract: A system and method for scheduling or completing multiple types of healthcare interactions from a mobile computing device. The system identifies a customer or a target; communicates and notifies the target via some communication means (SMS, e-mail, mailed Post Card) to schedule an appointment. There is an association between the delivered message and the specific target (such as a weblink and a key), which allows the target to access the scheduling system without a separate login process. This system also allows the target to verify and update data about the target and to schedule an appointment.

  • Patent number: 6367063
    Abstract: A logic device for performing a plurality of logic functions employs a plurality of logic elements interconnected by a plurality of switching boxes. A set of configuration bits are provided to the logic. The configuration bits represent a logic circuit that has been partitioned into two or more contexts. A subset of the configuration bits representing the portion of the logic circuit to be performed is selected by a number of context input lines. Operand bits are also provided to the logic element. By using virtualization registers, the output of a logic element in one context can be used as an input in another context. The output for a logic function is selected by the operands and stored in a register bank in such a way that it may later be retrieved by the context number it is associated with.
