Patent number: 10970291Abstract: Provided are systems, methods, and devices for providing topical similarities in a knowledge database. A knowledge database containing a number of articles is accessed, and clickstream data for the knowledge database is obtained including aggregated counts of user clicks on links within articles in the knowledge database. The clickstream data is sorted by source article, with each source article corresponding to a number of target articles that the source article links to. A directed article graph is constructed based on the sorted clickstream data. An input search term is received from an input device, and then an unbounded graph search is performed on the directed graph based on the input search term. Finally, a ranking heuristic for a predefined number of articles in the knowledge database is provided corresponding to topical similarity of the articles to the input search term.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 2018Date of Patent: April 6, 2021Assignee: MACHINEVANTAGE, INC.Inventors: Daniel Martin McNeela, Ratnakar Dev, Anantha K.

Patent number: 7895053Abstract: A medication management system (MMS) includes a medication management unit (MMU) associated with a medical device. The MMU downloads medication delivery code based on a medication delivery order to the medical device only if information from a first input matches information from a second input. The medical device receives delivery information electronically only from the MMU. The medication order is performed only after delivery data validation. The MMU also determines drug-drug incompatibility. The MMU can modulate (start, stop, sequence and dynamically adjust) medication order performance.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2004Date of Patent: February 22, 2011Assignee: Hospira, Inc.Inventors: Geoffrey N. Holland, Patrick B. Keely, Jeff Pelletier, Charles P. Moran, Raymond P. Silkaitis, John W. Huang, Bernardino Rubalcaba, Jr., Martin A. McNeela, Imtiyaz Haque

Publication number: 20090135196Abstract: A method for dynamically adjusting the screen brightness of a pump screen display. The method includes providing a medical pump including an internal clock and a screen display having a first screen brightness and a second screen brightness. The method further includes providing a medication management unit operatively connected to the medical pump and transmitting configuration instructions from the medication management unit to the medical pump. The configuration instructions include instructions to display the first screen brightness during the daytime hours and instructions to display the second screen brightness during the nighttime hours. The method also includes determining a time of day using the internal clock of the pump and displaying the first or second screen brightness according to the time of day determined by the internal clock of the pump.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 28, 2009Publication date: May 28, 2009Applicant: HOSPIRA, INC.Inventors: Geoffrey N.

Patent number: 7490021Abstract: A method for dynamically adjusting the screen brightness of a pump screen display. The method includes providing a medical pump including a screen display having a first screen brightness and a second screen brightness. The method further includes providing a medication management unit operatively connected to the medical pump where the medication management unit is configured to transmit operating instructions to the medical pump. The operating instructions transmittable from the medication management unit to the medical pump include instructions to display the first screen brightness during daytime hours and instructions to display the second screen brightness during nighttime hours. The method also includes determining a time of day using the medication management unit and transmitting from the medication management unit to the medical pump instructions to display the first or second screen brightness.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2004Date of Patent: February 10, 2009Assignee: Hospira, Inc.Inventors: Geoffrey N.

The medical device receives delivery information only from the MMU. The medication order is performed only after delivery data validation. The MMU also determines drug-drug incompatibility. The MMU can modulate (start, stop, and dynamically adjust) medication order performance. The medical device wirelessly receives a patient ID to automatically associate with the patient. During delivery, the medical device caches an updated drug library to replace an existing one. The medical device displays a patient picture for validation. The MMU evaluates the performance of medical devices and caregivers based medical device feedback. The MMU adjusts the output of medical device information conveyed to a caregiver.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2006Date of Patent: November 18, 2008Assignee: Hospira, Inc.Inventors: Geoffrey N.
