Abstract: The present invention is directed to a health care data management system comprising a workflow management system and a decision support system, as well as to a corresponding computer program product and a method. The decision support system comprises a probabilistic expert system for medical advice and is arranged to create a query to be sent to the workflow management system. It is also arranged to receive a corresponding answer determined by the workflow management system. This answer comprises entity allocation data relating to the allocation of an entity handled by the workflow management system. Furthermore, the decision support system is arranged to utilize the data as probabilistic input variable(s) for the expert system. Such a system has the advantage of combining up-to-date patient data and organisational data (resource allocation), which is managed by the workflow management system, with the profound medical expertise of a decision support system.

Abstract: A method of clinical workflow management and decision making comprises receiving clinical information from a hospital information system (100), combining and reconciling the clinical information for use during management of a particular clinical problem of a patient under consideration, and providing access to the combined and reconciled clinical information via a graphical user interface (200) that comprises a plurality of interactive display regions (1, 2, 3, 4, 5).

Abstract: Process for the gradual exchange of personal information in non-trusted peer-to-peer environments. Information, preferably prepared as graphical representations, is decomposed into a plurality of individual parts, then alternatively exchanged between the communication partners.

Abstract: The invention relates to a wireless network comprising at least two terminals which each contain a UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) software component and a UPnP controller software component. According to the invention, the UPnP controller software component of a terminal forwards specific messages from the associated UPnP software component to subordinate software components only following a change in the network topology.

Abstract: The invention relates to networks having at least one slave terminal or device, and a master terminal or device connected thereto that controls the network and is arranged to instruct at least one slave terminal or device to exchange sub-network information with at least one other sub-network. On receipt of an inquiry, a slave terminal or device in another sub-networks transmits a response to the inquiring slave terminal or device in the first sub-network. The communicating slave terminals or devices pass on the sub-network information that is exchanged to the master terminal or device, for the responding sub-network to be merged into the inquiring sub network.

Abstract: The invention relates to an electronic operating system comprising at least one functional apparatus (10) and at least one remote control unit (11). To implement the possibilities of interaction in a more intensive, yet more user-friendly way, the remote control unit (11) and the functional apparatus (10) co-operate with each other by means of automatic intercommunication in such a way that, at any instant during interaction with the operating system, exactly those interaction possibilities that correspond to the user's readiness for interaction can be indicated and offered for demand to the user.

Abstract: The invention relates to a network having at least one slave terminal and a master terminal that is connected thereto and that is provided for charging at least one slave terminal with requests to search for at least one other terminal to be incorporated in the network. After receiving a request, a non-incorporated terminal transmits a response to the requesting slave terminal and the requesting slave terminal forwards the response to the master terminal.

Abstract: The invention relates to a network having at least one slave terminal (7-10) and a master terminal (6) that is connected thereto that is provided for instructing at least one slave terminal (7) to check for inquiries from at least one other terminal (11) to be incorporated in the network. The instructed slave terminal (7) following detection of an as yet non-incorporated terminal (11) forwards the received inquiry to the master terminal. Upon receipt of the inquiry from the slave terminal, the master terminal sets up a connection with the as yet non-incorporated terminal. In an embodiment, the master terminal (6) sets up the connection by emitting an inquiry and paging the new slave terminal (11).

Abstract: Devices for determining the concentration of an analyte in a fluid are provided. Also provided are systems and kits for use in practicing the subject methods.

Abstract: A method and a system for displaying images, and an image display apparatus for use thereof are described. An image display apparatus, for example, a projector (12) is controlled by a mobile apparatus, for example, a PDA (14) in such a way that the image display apparatus (12) generates images, preferably a presentation file, for example, in PowerPoint format and reproduces and displays the corresponding images. A representation of a displayed image is transmitted to the mobile apparatus (14) in which it is displayed.

Abstract: A multi-format spindle transport device for transporting and cooling flat substrates, in particular data carriers that can be optically read includes four spindles arranged in parallel relationship in a spindle holder, and a drive for rotating the spindles. The spindle holder is configured in such a way that the relative spatial arrangement of the spindles in relation to one another can be adjusted, so that substrates of different formats can be engaged simultaneously by all four spindles.

Abstract: A portable data processing apparatus (120) receives information identifying interaction opportunities for a user of the apparatus and presents them via a display (10). For each identified interaction opportunity, a processor (130) generates a respective display icon (38, 18). The processor generates a user interface having at least first (12), second (16) and third (14) display panes, with newly generated display icons (38) being initially displayed in the first display pane (12). Subsequently, icons (18) are moved to the second display pane (16) and arranged according to a predetermined prioritisation scheme. On user selection of a displayed icon, additional data associated with the selected icon is displayed in the third display pane (14).
