Abstract: A system and method of enhancing ‘tip’ or ‘gratuity’ management, herein referred to as a ‘Daily Tip Payment System’ (DTPS) is disclosed. One example embodiment is comprised of a software application (app), a data processor executing the app, and a cloud network. The software connects with an employer's existing point of sale (POS) platform used in retail settings (such as restaurants, etc.) and allows tips from cashless transactions to be seamlessly deposited directly into an service provider's bank account, prepaid debit card, or mobile payment app after each shift for a small fee. An object of the example embodiments of the invention is to streamline tip coordination and allocation for the employer and allow the service provider to receive tips more frequently and more conveniently.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for synchronizing educational multimedia content objects between a server system and a plurality of remote mobile communication devices over a network. An educational multimedia repository stores the educational multimedia content objects and makes the educational multimedia content objects accessible to software components operating within the educational multimedia system. The system downloads to one of the remote communication devices one or more of the educational multimedia content objects from the repository while the one of the remote communication devices has a data connection with the computer server system.

Abstract: A process of covalently modifying a lignocellulosic material is provided. The process includes oxidizing a lignocellulosic material having hydroxyl groups with an oxidant to oxidize at least a portion of the hydroxyl groups to carboxylic acid groups, optionally activating the carboxylic acid groups with an activating agent to form activated carboxylic acid groups, and reacting the carboxylic acid groups or the activated carboxylic acid groups with a first nitrogen-containing reagent selected from amino acids, peptides, or protected derivatives thereof to provide a treated lignocellulosic material. The treated lignocellulosic materials thus prepared displays resistance to degradation.

Abstract: A method for diagnosing a patient using a computer system includes, on the computer system: receiving information from the patient, the information including symptoms and symptom history; identifying a first set of diagnoses using the information; presenting the first set of diagnoses and a first set of questions to the patient in accordance with the information; receiving a first set of answers to the first set of questions; and identifying a second set of diagnoses and a second set of questions in accordance with the first set of answers.

Abstract: A method for authoring clinical diagnosis data includes: parsing, on a processing device, clinical data regarding components and diagnoses of diseases, the components including at least one of signs, symptoms, or factors for generating structured clinical data; correlating, on the processing device, the structured clinical data based on at least one of the components; determining, on the processing device, clusters of the components that are related to the diseases; identifying, using principal component analysis on the processing device, one or more predictive components of the clusters of the components related to the diseases for generating a diagnosis predictive model; and generating, on the processing device, a disease model based on the diagnosis predictive model, the disease model being for diagnosing a patient in accordance with the identified one or more predictive components.
