  • Publication number: 20200160739
    Abstract: A digital web-based education platform is provided for delivering targeted and individual training (e.g., to patients on injection technique to help with medical condition management). An associated website is accessible by users via computers and mobile devices. The platform has several short learning modules (e.g., animations, videos that can include knowledge assessment) on various topics. Healthcare providers (HCPs) can prescribe or recommend which topics each patient should follow and prescribes a selected product having a code. Patients access the learning modules using the website by entering the code found in the box or packing for a product, or provided by an HCP, and review learning modules and topics of their choice or recommended by an HCP using a product code and the website URL.

  • Patent number: 8089286
    Abstract: A system and method for characterizing noise in a quantum system includes determining pulse sequences for unitary twirling operations. Twirling processes are applied to a quantum system to calibrate errors and to determine channel parameters. Noise characteristics are determined from calibration data collected to calibrate the errors and to determine the channel parameters. The noise characteristics are characterized to determine if the noise is independent relaxation of qubits or collective relaxation of qubits.

  • Publication number: 20060114165
    Abstract: In an implementation of antenna assembly, an antenna element is formed with a front plate that has slots for wireless communication signal transfer, a dielectric material, a channel guide that is designed to confine the dielectric in a position that aligns the dielectric with the slots in the front plate, and a back plate. The front plate, channel guide, and back plate are attached together to enclose the dielectric within the channel guide to form an enclosed dielectric channel. An antenna assembly includes one or more of the antenna elements.
