Abstract: Methods for creating personalized hand hygiene compliance protocols and for tracking hand hygiene compliance is disclosed herein. An exemplary method for creating personalized hand hygiene compliance protocols and for tracking hand hygiene compliance includes providing a plurality of dispensers, wherein the dispensers contain one of soap or sanitizer. The methodology further includes retrieving patient profile information from a patient profile database that relates to a patient and creating a personalized hand-hygiene compliance protocol for the patient as a function of the patient profile information. The hand-hygiene compliance protocol includes at least two conditions that require the patient to wash her hands with soap or sanitizer. The methodology further includes determining if a dispense from one of the plurality of dispensers was caused by the patient, logging the dispense from one of the plurality of dispensers and associating the dispense to the patient if the dispense was caused by the patient.

Abstract: A method is provided for tracking hygiene compliance. The method includes receiving a health condition of a patient and assigning, by a processor, a hygiene compliance protocol for the patient based upon the health condition of the patient. The hygiene compliance protocol defines suggested hygiene-related activities for the patient. The method further includes monitoring the hygiene-related activities performed by the patient and comparing the hygiene-related activities performed by the patient to the suggested hygiene-related activities of the hygiene compliance protocol.

Abstract: A method of affixing a material on a substrate to the inner surface of a bore tube of magnets for a superconducting supercollider includes the steps of bonding a gas-absorbing material to a thin metallic substrate and forming the substrate and the material into a partly tubular configuration having an inner surface and an outer surface, the material being on the inner surface. The partly tubular configuration is shaped in a manner whereby the partly tubular configuration is expandable in diameter. The partly tubular configuration is inserted coaxially into the tube with the outer surface of the partly tubular configuration in proximity with the inner surface of the tube. Hoop compressor stress is applied to the inner surface of the partly tubular configuration, thereby forcing the partly tubular configuration against the inner surface of the tube. The bore tube is maintained at cryogenic temperature.
