  • Publication number: 20250127687
    Abstract: Improved feeding set connectors and cassettes are disclosed for use with peristaltic infusion pumps for safely delivering enteral nutritional fluids to a patient. The connectors provide an easy to use “pump-to-set” integration or “keying” system for specific reusable infusion pumps and their matching feeding sets, and can be utilized by medical professionals having various skill levels. The inventive feeding set cassettes can prevent accidental free flow of enteral fluids into a patient, even upon inadvertent release of the connector from the pumping mechanism.

  • Publication number: 20190129589
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments providing a personalized interaction and navigation system. An embodiment operates by receiving, during a computing session, an indication of a first interaction with a currently accessed document stored in a computing system. It is determined that the first document is not included in the set of previously accessed documents. A new tab is added to the interface corresponding to the currently accessed document based upon the determining. The new tab is maintained on the interface for the duration of the computing session, wherein upon completion of the computing session, a determination is made whether to persist the tab beyond the computing session based on a request or to automatically remove the tab from the interface and the cache.

  • Patent number: 9798813
    Abstract: The technology disclosed relates to representing users in different contexts within customer relationship management (CRM) environments. In particular, it relates to creating a person object model for each user in the CRM environment by linking a plurality of user records in the CRM environment that is separately created by different organizations and departments. The person object model also incorporates online social identities of the users, according to one implementation. This inclusive linked model provides a comprehensive view of the users to handlers of the CRM environment, thus facilitating an enhanced overall CRM experience.

  • Publication number: 20070070130
    Abstract: The present invention provides systems and methods for providing colorant to a colorant cup apparatus that is adjacent to a pad printing cliché. The fluid colorant is fed from a colorant container through a feed conduit to the cup and an inline viscometer external to the colorant container measures the viscosity of colorant within the feed conduit. A control mechanism can dispense colorant solvent into the colorant container based upon a viscosity measurement performed by the inline viscometer. The disclosed systems, colorant cups and methods are useful in the preparation of tinted contact lenses.

  • Publication number: 20060228866
    Abstract: The invention includes methods in which oxide is formed within openings in a three-step process. A first step is deposition of oxide under a pressure of greater than 15 mTorr. A second step is removal of a portion of the oxide with an etch. A third step is an oxide deposition under a pressure of less than or equal to 10 mTorr. Methodology of the present invention can be utilized for forming trenched isolation regions, such as, for example, shallow trench isolation regions.

  • Publication number: 20050097128
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method of transferring data from a hierarchical file (having a hierarchical structure, e.g., a markup language file) to a relational database structure (made up of columns and rows. Before processing the actual data, the invention first partitions the hierarchical structure into sections, where each section is dedicated to at least one node of the hierarchical structure. The partitioning process is based on the document type definition file, which is separate from, and different than the hierarchical file. After completing the partitioning, the invention then parses the actual data contained in the hierarchical data file to produce a stream of data pairs and end of section indicators. During the data parsing process, the invention loads the data pairs into corresponding “sections” (created prior to the parsing process) as the data pairs are output from the parsing process.
