Abstract: A term base can be used to index a raw medical term (e.g., a text string from an electronic health record) to generate a computational expression of the raw medical term. The computational expression of the raw medical term can be used to generate a uniform medical term for the raw medical term. The computational expression can be compared with other computational expressions to organize the electronic health record, filter the electronic health record, and provide a uniform presentation of raw medical terms from different events in the electronic health record.

Abstract: A term base can be used to index a raw term (e.g., a text string from an electronic health record) to generate a computational expression of the raw term. As part of doing so, portions of the raw term including personally identifying information can be removed and/or replaced with de-identified information. The computational expression of the raw term can be used to generate a version of the raw term that is devoid of the personally identifying information.

Abstract: In a high pressure turbine used in combination with a contra-rotating low pressure turbine, in which the geometry of the inlet guide vane of the low pressure turbine induces a reflection of the incident shock wave from the high pressure turbine airfoil that propagates back upstream to impact the blade thereby denigrating both the performance of the high pressure turbine and its durability. The shock wave reflection is eliminated by fitting the downstream vanes with holes or indentations that allow jets of compressor bleed air to penetrate the boundary layer and induce a net velocity component across the main-flow direction in the near-wall region. This induced flow component acts to cancel the net flow component created by the moving shock from the upstream blade row thereby obviating the reflection that occurs naturally to cancel the flow.

Abstract: In the computational fluid dynamics analysis of airfoils, a laminar/turbulent transition location is determined by consideration of a turbulence length scale in addition to a turbulence intensity. In an exemplary implementation, the transition is predicted as occurring when a momentum thickness-based Reynolds number reaches a given exponent of the factor multiplied by a constant. The factor may consist of the turbulence intensity multiplied by a momentum thickness and divided by the turbulence length scale.

Abstract: A system and method for monitoring a pressure relief device are provided. The system includes a release sensor that provides an indication when the pressure relief device activates. A wireless transmitter is connected to the release sensor and sends a wireless transmission having an activation signal when the indication is provided by the release sensor. A receiver receives the wireless transmission from the transmitter and generates a warning when the activation signal is identified.

Abstract: A system and method of monitoring a pressurized container having an auxiliary device are provided. The system includes a sensor operable to provide a signal representative of at least one operating condition of the pressurized container. The system also includes a control operable to receive the signal from the sensor and generate a warning when the sensed operating condition will impact the operation of the auxiliary device.

Abstract: A slide compression mechanism for a flexible post binder is disclosed which includes specially constructed means for limiting outward movement of each compressor member relative to the channel member on which it is slidably mounted. More particularly, this motion limiting means comprises at least one pair of specially constructed interengageable longitudinally aligned stops positioned internally of the channel member. The slide compression mechanism also possesses a hook portion having a raised lip on the hook end which not only facilitates automatic assembly of the slide compression mechanism onto the channel member but also serves as a means for limiting the inward movement of each compressor member relative to the channel member.
