  • Patent number: 12357205
    Abstract: A system with an analyzer device in fluid communication with a sample of a bodily fluid is configured to chemically or electrochemically convert at least a portion of ammonium (NH4+) contained within the bodily fluid into ammonia (NH3) and dispel the converted ammonia (NH3) into a gas sensing chamber. An ammonia (NH3) sensor located within the gas sensing chamber in conjunction with a processor can quantify an amount of ammonia (NH3) present in the gas sensing chamber in relation to the total ammonia of the bodily fluid.

  • Patent number: 11940980
    Abstract: One example method for predictive clinical planning and design includes instantiating a plurality of data objects, each data object of the plurality of data objects comprising clinical trial information; displaying a graphical user interface on one or more display screens, the graphical user interface providing a graphical representation of at least a portion of a clinical trial and comprising a plurality of graphical nodes; receiving a selection of the second graphical node; receiving, via an editor associated with the second graphical node, a modification of the second data object; propagating an indication of the modification to the first data object, the propagation modifying a clinical trial data item of the first data object; and displaying, within the first graphical node, the modified clinical trial data item of the first data object.

  • Publication number: 20040099579
    Abstract: A system for sorting articles includes a conveyor transporting the articles in conveying zones. An identifier directed at an identification zone on the conveyor identifies an article bearing a particular characteristic. A sliding gate coupled to the conveyor at a removal zone on the conveyor downstream from the identification zone is arranged below the articles and controlled by the identifier to open when the article bearing the characteristic passes the removal zone. The sliding gate opens parallel to the conveyor and either in the conveyor direction or the direction opposing the conveyor direction. The sliding gate provides an opening of the same length as the conveying zone. A device for sorting articles includes a sliding gate on the conveyor at a removal zone. The sliding gate is arranged below the articles and controlled by an identifier to open when an article bearing a characteristic passes the removal zone.

  • Publication number: 20020169867
    Abstract: A method for providing remote management and maintenance of a node or service within a data communications network that is activated by the data communications network management system's receipt of signals of an abnormal condition at a node or service or failure to receive operational status signals from a node or service. A control adapter running on a node within a Point of Presence is started. The control adapter is capable of starting all service adapters associated with all services running on the node. Operational status signals and abnormal condition signals are transmitted from the control adapter and service adapters on to an information bus. If a network management control host receives abnormal condition signals, notification is sent to a remote system administrator that alerts of an error experienced by a node or service.
