  • Publication number: 20240136143
    Abstract: A multi-metal patterned anode for an X-ray detector is provided. The anode comprises a substrate and at least one group of disjointed circular features formed on the substrate, wherein the circular features are made from different metals. The circular features in different groups have different radii, and the circular features in the same group have the same radii. The groups of circular features are radially arrayed on the substrate. The substrate is made of diamond or beryllium.

  • Publication number: 20240106779
    Abstract: A method includes receiving inputs from a plurality of data providers reflecting the plurality of data providers' respective parameters for providing message channel data; receiving inputs from a plurality of data recipients reflecting the data recipients' respective parameters for receiving message channel data; identifying, using a matching engine, message channel data that matches the parameters of at least one of the plurality of data providers and the parameters of at least one of the data recipients; processing the message channel data in accordance with the parameters of the data providers, the processing step comprising segmenting the message channel data into permitted data segments and non-permitted data segments based on the data providers' parameters; delivering the permitted data segments to the identified data recipients in accordance with their respective parameters; and initiating a request for compensation of the identified data providers in accordance with their respective parameters.

  • Publication number: 20240070201
    Abstract: The present teaching relates to communication related to predictions. A communication chain is created with multiple chain units, each operating independently to provide prediction services related to a prompt with embedded information therein associated with predictions for the prompt to enable prediction services. A request is received for a requested operation related to a query prompt on one of prediction solicitation, prediction entry, verification entry, and prediction access. If a chain unit for the query prompt, the request is directed to the chain unit to perform the requested operation. If not, a new chain unit is created for the query prompt and the request is forwarded to the new chain unit to carry out the requested operation.

  • Publication number: 20140276560
    Abstract: An infusion management platform specifies, for each of a plurality of containers, an identification for one of a plurality of patients, an identification for an infusion module, and attributes characterizing fluid within the container for infusion into the corresponding patient. Thereafter, the infusion management platform receives data from a plurality of infusion modules characterizing administration of fluid to each of a plurality of patients. It can then be determined by the infusion management platform for each container using a rule set, an amount of the fluid infused to the corresponding patient and an amount of fluid remaining in the container. Data can then be provided that characterizes the determined amount of infused fluid and the determined amount of remaining fluid for each container. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.

  • Patent number: 7303737
    Abstract: A method for point-of-use generation of chlorine dioxide wherein the chlorine dioxide is generated quickly and at acceptable concentrations to avoid the need for subsequent dilutions and keeping the product non corrosive to the surface to be treated. A persulfate solution and a chlorite solution are mixed at a molar ratio of persulfate to chlorite of greater than 2. The chlorite solution is buffered to a pH of from 9 to 12. The persulfate solution is buffered to a pH of from 3 to 9.
