Publication number: 20060149587Abstract: An automated system and method for processing prescription requests is disclosed, whereby a patient or physician enters a prescription request to an automated pharmacy prescription processing system. For example, a request for a new or refill prescription can be transmitted from a physician's office to the prescription processing system as a digital file or facsimile message, or using keypad or voice commands in an Interactive Voice Response (IVR) system running in the prescription processing system. A request for a prescription refill can also be entered by a patient using an IVR system, or the patient can physically carry the refill prescription request to a pharmacy for entry to the prescription processing system by a technician. The automated pharmacy system determines whether the new or refill prescription request can be filled by a central fill inventory.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 26, 2001Publication date: July 6, 2006Inventors: Kenneth Hill, Mark Stalzer, Sean Bloodgood, Todd Crosslin, John McCray

Publication number: 20040122712Abstract: A method and system for prescription management is described. At least one prescription is received at a pharmacy and an order associated with at least one of the prescriptions is generated. A shipping location associated with the order is determined and the order is communicated to a central fill facility for filling the prescriptions associated with the order. A cost associated with the order is received from the central fill facility. The cost includes a shipping cost and an order cost. Payment is settled for the order based on the cost.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 20, 2002Publication date: June 24, 2004Inventors: Kenneth A. Hill, Mark A. Stalzer, Sean P. Bloodgood, Todd A. Crosslin, John T. McCray

Publication number: 20040122713Abstract: A method for prescription fulfillment is described. A prescription of a prescribed drug for a patient is received at a pharmacy designated by the patient. While maintaining the prescription at the designated pharmacy, the prescription is filled with the prescribed drug at a remote third-party facility for delivery of the drug to a location designated by the patient on behalf of, but independent of, the designated pharmacy.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 20, 2002Publication date: June 24, 2004Inventors: Kenneth A. Hill, Mark A. Stalzer, Sean P. Bloodgood, Todd A. Crosslin, John T. McCray

Patent number: 6175815Abstract: A method for efficiently storing quantities used by the Fast Multipole Method (FMM) to perform field calculations is disclosed. This method takes advantage of the level structure used by the FMM. The disclosed method selects a particular level and, for each group in that level, calculates interactions with all far groups. The disclosed method does not repeat calculations for interaction of a similar distance for the same level. Rather, it references calculations previously made for the similar interaction, thereby eliminating the calculation and storage of information that is the same as information previously calculated and stored.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 1998Date of Patent: January 16, 2001Assignee: Hughes Electronics CorporationInventor: Mark A.

Patent number: 5933794Abstract: A scalable parallel processing method and apparatus for performing fast multipole method (FMM) scattering calculations. The processing method is preferably implemented on a parallel multi-processor wherein a plurality of processors communicate with each other via a data communications network. The multiple processors work in tandem to solve a particular problem, which in the disclosed embodiment involves simulating an object (or scatterer) mathematically by using the fast multipole method (FMM) to calculate scattering amplitudes. The present invention provides a method and apparatus that organizes and carries out FMM operations in a manner that minimizes or eliminates the effect of time spent on sharing information between processors. According to the present invention, the method, essentially masks certain FMM information sharing tasks by performing them concurrently with other FMM computational tasks.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 1997Date of Patent: August 3, 1999Assignee: Hughes Electronics CorporationInventor: Mark A.

Patent number: 5126953Abstract: Testing apparatus for assembled printed circuit boards to assure that all the component values are correct and that all the components have been correctly inserted into the board. The testing apparatus performs its testing function without the need for physical guarding, and it operates on node oriented complex-Valued Admittance measurements. The testing apparatus includes a computer which translates the measurements into component data by solving only linear equations.Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 1991Date of Patent: June 30, 1992Inventors: James K. Berger, Mark A. Stalzer
