Abstract: A system is disclosed for controlling the disgorging of objects. The system includes a container system including a container for containing objects, rotation means for rotating the container to a disgorgement angle, and movement means for moving at least a portion of the container system in a repetitious manner with a net zero distance of travel of the at least the portion of the container system such that the objects are disgorged from the container at a controlled rate of disgorgement.

Abstract: A computerized method analyzes proposed orders for network sites and generates associated order recommendations. A system configuration order (SCO) manager receives a proposed order from an ordering platform and generates a proposed site configuration using the proposed order and a current site configuration of the site. In some examples, the current site configuration is obtained from a network configuration manager associated with the site. The SCO manager generates a recommended site configuration using a configuration recommendation model and the proposed site configuration as input to the configuration recommendation model. A component difference between the recommended site configuration and the proposed site configuration is identified and an order recommendation is generated using the identified component difference. The generated order recommendation is then provided to the ordering platform.

Abstract: Systems, methods and devices are provided for facilitating undisturbed performance during service handover thresholds. Methods include monitoring performance parameters over time for multiple types of wireless devices experiencing a handover triggering event and storing the performance parameters for the multiple types of wireless devices. The methods further include analyzing the stored performance parameters for the multiple types of wireless devices to formulate a handover plan for the multiple types of wireless devices. The method further includes generating the handover plan for the multiple types of wireless devices and utilizing the handover plan to determine whether handover default settings should be utilized or overridden.

Abstract: A hazardous drug administrative server includes a memory and a processor operably coupled to the memory. The memory is configured to store a hazardous drug data structure. The processor is configured to monitor hazardous drug databases for updates to the hazardous drug data structure. The processor is also configured to update the hazardous drug data structure based on the updates from the monitored hazardous drug databases. The processor is further configured to identify hospital hazardous drug data structures that are linked to the hazardous drug data structure. The processor is additionally configured to transmit the updates to the hazardous drug data structure that correspond to the identified hospital hazardous drug data structures to a hospital server.

Abstract: Administration of regulated safety requirements for health care professionals including a medical care facility server coupled for data communications with a mobile device for use by a health care professional, the mobile device providing a safety application establishing multi-dimensional connectivity across a medical care facility. Example embodiments include a safety application receiving, from a health care professional through a mobile device, a drug inquiry including a drug ID and the safety application providing, to the health care professional in response to the drug inquiry and through the mobile device, directions including handling instructions for the identified drug.

Abstract: A method for determining hydration of a polymer includes mixing a water-soluble, powdered dye with a powdered polymer and introducing the mixed water-soluble, powdered dye and powdered polymer into a water-based fluid. Full hydration of the powdered polymer is determined when the mixed water-soluble, powdered dye, powdered polymer and water-based fluid comprises substantially no internal optical contrast.
