Abstract: A system and method is described that automatically collects health information from multiple health data provider sources, combines it into a database, then provides a view of the information on a body map. The body map can be a drawing, photograph, or other visual model, and can be changed over time as the patient advances in age. While the image may change over time, the system continues to plot the information in the correct body location.

Abstract: A system and method is described that automatically collects health information from multiple health data provider sources, combines it into a single database, then provides a view of the information on a body map. The body map can be a drawing, photograph, or other visual model, and can be changed over time as the patient advances in age. While the image may change over time, the system continues to plot the information in the correct body location.

Abstract: A computer system provides the ability to construct and edit a Data Definition File (DDF) containing hierarchically related elements of data, some of which are dynamic in that they must execute in order to produce or retrieve data. A client computer system having knowledge of a DDF appropriate for its uses sends a request to a server, which contains or can retrieve the DDF requested by the client. The request contains parameters used by the server to customize the resulting keyed data file for the client's purposes. Upon receipt of the request, the server copies the DDF into a coupled memory, performs requested parameter substitutions, and executes dynamic elements to produce resulting data elements. The process is repeated recursively for all elements of the hierarchical structure, until no dynamic elements remain, then the resulting keyed data file is returned to the client for its uses.

Abstract: A fast file shredder system has a state machine that converts a large XML file into a number of flat files. The state machine uses a serial access parser that parses the XML and places the appropriate parts of the XML file data into one of several flat files. When the state machine encounters a trigger element in the XML file, the state machine transitions to another state and starts writing portions of the XML file data into another of the flat files.

Abstract: A method of streaming conversion from a first data structure to a second data structure includes the steps of receiving a reference to an input data stream in the first data structure for conversion. A document conversion file is received that converts data in the first data structure to data in the second data structure. Next, a repeating structure definition is received. The document conversion file is executed. Then each instance of a repeating structure is streamed.

Abstract: Within a set of computer systems interconnected by a network, the computer systems may be suitably configured to transfer data between one another. An item of data exchanged between these systems can be said to be a “message”. Each message is defined with a format particular to a specific application. Often, the needs of the application demand messages with complex content. A method is presented wherein complex messages can be decomposed for processing by components, whereby each component may interact with a separate server system to process data. Thus, a complex message may be decomposed so that portions of the message may originate from many different systems. Inbound messages can be processed by decomposing them into manageable portions, then sending each portion to an appropriate server.
