  • Patent number: 8660858
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for facilitating an automated configuration of a component of a practice management system for use by a healthcare provider associated with a medical practice. An initial configuration of the component is generated based, at least in part, on global content stored by the practice management system. A self-service implementation tool provided by the practice management system enables a user at the medical practice to refine the initial configuration via a user interface that presents the user with a plurality of tasks to perform. By allowing providers to actively participate in the configuration process by completing assigned tasks via the user interface, the process of configuring a component of the practice management system is simplified compared to conventional practice management systems, which often require an administrator of the practice management system to create a customized solution for each provider or medical practice from scratch.

  • Publication number: 20130317582
    Abstract: The present invention provides a device for stimulating neural regeneration and/or neurite outgrowth and a fabrication method thereof. A photovoltaic component having a substrate, a first conductive layer, an active layer and a second conducting stacked in sequence is formed. The photovoltaic component is encapsulated by an encapsulant with a portion of the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer exposed from the encapsulant. The device is configured to be rolled to form a guiding tube having two open ends and to be placed at a damaged portion of a nerve. When the device is illuminated by light, a photovoltage exists between the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer for producing an electric current, so as to stimulate neural regeneration and repair the damaged portion of a nerve.

  • Patent number: 8252627
    Abstract: Disclosed is a manufacturing method for an organic optoelectronic thin film comprising the steps of providing a substrate and a first electrode; forming a semiconductor layer on the substrate, wherein the semiconductor layer includes polyethylene glycol (PEG); forming a conductive polymer layer on the first electrode; disposing the substrate and the semiconductor layer on the conductive polymer layer and adhering the semiconductor layer to the conductive polymer layer; and removing the substrate; and forming a second electrode on the semiconductor layer. A first adhesion between the semiconductor layer and the substrate is generated. A second adhesion between the semiconductor layer and the conductive polymer layer is generated. The second adhesion is greater than the first adhesion so that while the substrate is removed, the semiconductor layer and the conductive polymer layer are still adhered.
