Abstract: Certain embodiments include a computer-implemented method comprising receiving dosage data corresponding to a medication dosage regimen for a medication prescribed to a patient and receiving, from a remote mobile device, video data files including video of the patient administering the medication at intervals defined by the medication dosage regimen. A request by a medical provider to access the one or more video data files is received and access is provided based on a set of credentials. Approval data is received from the provider to indicate whether the video data files show proof of the patient taking a correct dosage of the medication as defined in the medication dosage regimen. A medication regimen adherence value is then calculated based on the medication dosage regimen and the approval data medication.

Abstract: A method and system is disclosed for configuring a queue profile based on an input values received from a user. According to an exemplary embodiment, a series of threshold queue sizes are generated based in part on the input values and a corresponding series of drop priority values. A lookup table may be provided to categories the threshold queue sizes within predetermined queue size blocks.

Abstract: A method for automatically integrating digital data obtained from the interaction between an image pickup apparatus and a data-processing apparatus is provided. The method includes steps of opening a file; picking up the image of a first object to provide first image data; converting the first image data into first digital data; automatically saving the first digital data into the file; picking up the image of a second object to provide second image data; converting the second image data into second digital data; and automatically saving the second digital data into the file including the first digital data. It is especially convenient for users to manage documents more than one page.

Abstract: A method and system for building a database to be queried by a parametric search engine begins by receiving data concerning a set of products. Each product is mapped by a set of attributes representing characteristics of the products and values for those characteristics. For some attributes, there can be multiple values. Each of the multiple values is associated with a corresponding multiple value for another attribute, and thus defining a variation of the product. The data is inserted into a database such that the relationship among the interrelated values is retained, permitting a parametric search engine to provide a correct solution set for a query to the database. In one embodiment, the database is an XML database and the products for which the database stores are components for use by engineers during the Discovery phase of Research and Development.

Abstract: A process for reducing an existing landfill includes the steps of digging up solid waste deposited in the existing landfill, removing plastic made garbage bags to dispose the solid waste packed therein, removing recyclable material from the solid waste, shipping out the recyclable material to a recycling plant, separating nondecomposable material and decomposable material from the solid waste, composting the decomposable material, and disposing of the nondecomposable material.

Abstract: The present invention generally provides a system and method for supporting a substrate having a support frame that minimizes deflection encountered during thermal expansion in a processing chamber. In one embodiment, the support frame comprises one or more longitudinal members coupled to one or more transverse members. The transverse members preferably define a supporting surface on which a heated susceptor is mounted. The longitudinal member is preferably disposed below the heated susceptor, thus minimizing thermal expansion of the longitudinal member. Spacers made of thermally conductive material may be disposed at appropriate locations along the members to provide more uniform distribution of heat within the members.

Abstract: A heated substrate support plate for use in a process chamber. The support plate has grooves disposed therein for receiving heating elements. The heating elements are comprised of an outer sheath, a heater coil and a heat-conducting filler material. The heating element is disposed within a groove and compressed to compact the heat-conducting filler material about the heater coil.
