Abstract: In accordance with one embodiment, a system for encoding medical data is provided. The system includes a data processing module to process medical data from any given format to a Continuity of Care Record (CCR) standard. The system for encoding medical data further includes a data export module. The data export module exports the medical data after processing into a CCR format. Additionally, the system also includes a control module for providing operational instruction to the data processing module. The control module may also provide operational instruction for data export module.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for purifying water includes a pump and purification cell, the cell having two electrodes, at least one of which electrodes is approximately 92 percent copper, 3 percent silver and 5 percent nickel, by weight. An electrical potential is developed between the electrodes and caused to alternate in polarity to prevent plating. Copper and silver ions are released into the water at adjustable rate, where they cooperatively destroy bacteria, algae, and the like.
