Abstract: The present invention relates to systems and methods for enabling real-time, remote access to up-to-date medication coverage information for medical insurance plans. The inventive concepts disclosed herein enable users to check whether a medication is covered under an insurance plan and identify alternative medications covered by the specified insurance plan. Appropriate dose information for the alternative medications is automatically calculated or determined and provided to users thereby providing users with an opportunity to identify an appropriate medication for a patient in light of the patient's insurance coverage.

Abstract: A system and method are used to evaluate concavities in a complex surface, such as for determining protein pockets in a protein model.

Abstract: An electrically heated apparatus for dispensing fragrancing materials and other volatile substances to an enclosed volume such as the interior of a room which includes a base having a base portion which is generally planar in structure having a top surface, and a bottom surface from which extends perpendicularly two (or more) suitably dimensioned electrical plugs. The base portion further includes incorporated within its construction a heating means which, when the electrical plugs are connected to a suitable electrical source, said heating means is energized, resulting in the heating of the base portion. Further, the base portion of the invention includes a radiator means. The apparatus further includes a volatile substance container which contains a quantity of a volatile substance such as a fragrance or perfume, a disinfecting composition, or an insecticide. The radiator means provides a surprisingly uniform temperature across the top surface of the base portion.

Abstract: A glove bag assembly comprising a glove bag adapted to be optionally sealed horizontally to create an upper and a lower portion; a valve assembly connected at its inlet to said lower portion via a conduit and at its outlet to a waste container; and vacuum-generating means communicating with splitter valve means, whereby the amount of vacuum applied to the entire assembly can be controlled.
