Abstract: Socks including targeted cushioning zones include various knitted materials disposed within areas of the foot which experience specific conditions during running. Areas of the sock which include cushioning pods correspond to areas of the foot which experience pressure loading. Areas of the sock which include mesh correspond to areas of the foot which produce sweat. Areas of the sock which include ribbing and/or cushioning pods correspond to areas of the foot which have sensitive skin.

Abstract: Socks or stockings including integrated gripping systems include gripping material disposed on external surfaces of a sole of the sock and gripping material disposed on internal surfaces of the sock. In some examples, the integrated gripping systems comprise a first set of gripping dots comprising gripping material applied to external surfaces of the sole of the sock and a second set of gripping dots comprising gripping material applied to internal surfaces of the sole of the sock. In some examples, the integrated gripping systems comprise a knitted fabric including gripping yarn, which includes knitted gripping portions disposed on internal surfaces of the sock and external surfaces of the sock.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a computer implemented method for determining and generating an electronic recommendation and/or other outputs, such as observations and tasks, in which the method may include the steps of receiving input from the user through a client device in which the input may include data for populating a key member or key player data record; identifying, via a computing device processor, a first rule corresponding to the key player data record; retrieving, via a computing device processor, a first observation in which the first observation is associated with the first rule; and displaying to the user, via a display screen of the client device, the first observation. In further embodiments of the method, an observation may be associated with a recommendation and the recommendation may include a pre-recorded video multimedia file specific for the observation.

Abstract: An implantable device for monitoring of a patient's electrocardiogram, has a detection element for determining electrocardiogram signals of a heart of the patient. The signals are indicative of the electrocardiogram of the patient. The implantable device includes a processor that is configured to determine from the signals at least one parameter of the electrocardiogram. The at least one parameter is an R:S ratio defined as the ratio between the absolute value of the R complex and the absolute value of the S complex.

Abstract: An enterprise service bus (ESB) business activity monitoring system and related methods. Specific implementations include a message box server, an itinerary server, a business activity monitoring (BAM) server, a message box database, an itinerary database, a BAM database, a web server and a caching server all operatively coupled together. A developer computer and user computer may be coupled with the web server through a telecommunication channel. The first user computer may include a first computer interface and a second computer interface. The first computer interface may be configured to display a real-time status of the selected itinerary process using the web server, the caching server, the BAM server, and the message box server. The data resubmit button may be configured to resubmit the selected itinerary process for processing by the message box server beginning at the error step.

Abstract: A post-operative compression vest for providing adjustable compression across a thoracic region of a subject. The thoracic region of the subject may include an abdominal-thoracic region. The compression vest may extend over and/or apply pressure to sections of the thoracic region of the subject. The compression vest may include one or more straps configured to wrap around sections of the thoracic region of the subject. In some implementations, a cinching mechanism may be coupled to the strap. The cinching mechanism may be configured to apply adjustable tension in the strap. Responsive to the compression vest being worn by the subject, the cinching mechanism may be configured such that a thoracic region of the subject is further compressed by the adjustable tension in the strap.

Abstract: A method of metadata management is provided. Metadata associated with information objects is important in the management and classification of electronic information referred to as information objects. A metadata schema structure definition is defined enabling a metadata schema to be applied to the information objects to ensure consistent creation and management of hierarchical metadata across and organization and interoperability between different metadata schemas.

Abstract: A system and method of authorizing and monetizing a telephone communication such as a voice call is disclosed. The calling party may be in a controlled environment such as a prison or hospital; the called party is using a mobile telephone device. The call is facilitated by a service provider such as a connect service provider. The call is monetized by a message service charge billed to an account associated with the mobile telephone device. The call is facilitated as a voice call if there is authorization both for a charge for message service to the mobile telephone device and for the call from the calling party. The system is implemented with a system may use a message service communication protocol for the message and billing charge. computer-based system in operation with the interactive voice response system. Revenue from monetization of the call may be shared between service providers.
