Abstract: Methods and equipment of this invention enable small scale animal farming operations to substantially all or nearly all the recoverable value from their manure streams at a cost suitable for such smaller scale operations. The invention gives small scale animal farming operations the opportunity to obtain manure recovery benefits typically obtainable only in animal farming operations having high animal populations. The recovery is in forms that are both useable, readily monetized, environmentally sustainable, and cost effective. Much of the recovered material can find use back within the processing steps of invention thereby increasing the value of the recovered residual materials.

Abstract: The medical data analysis system automatically identifies medical information sources which correlate to anomalies identified in a set of patient medical data relating to an identified patient. The system includes a digital library for providing access to a plurality of information sources which relate to interpreting patient medical data and possible diseases associated with the patient medical data. A data characterization module calculates normative variations of a set of patient medical data to identify anomalies. Based upon this statistical analysis, a digital library interface module searches the digital library for information sources relating to the set of patient medical data and interpretations of the identified anomalies. There is also an information access module which provides an authorized user, such as a physician, with access to the information sources returned by the digital library interface module and relating to this set of patient medical data.

Abstract: The Customized Medical Diagnostic Apparatus operates under the control of a physician to implement a patient-specific instance of the apparatus by identifying medical information sources, retrieved from a Digital Library, which correlate to anomalies identified in a set of patient medical data relating to an identified patient or identified class of patient. The system includes a Digital Library for providing access to a plurality of information sources which relate to interpreting patient medical data and possible ailments associated with the patient medical data. A data characterization module calculates control variations of a set of patient medical data to identify anomalies. Based upon this statistical analysis, a Digital Library interface module searches the Digital Library for information sources relating to the set of patient medical data and interpretations of the identified anomalies.

Abstract: A method of automatically sharing and transferring information between a Work at Work (WAW) ISDN telephone and a Work at Home (WAH) ISDN telephone. This information includes, calling line identifier delivery from the WAW telephone to the WAH telephone, facilitating subsequent transferring of the call to the WAH telephone if desired. Message waiting status is also shared, facilitating the coordination of message waiting lamps at both the WAW and WAH telephone. Information from one telephone to the other is carried transparently through the ISDN network as user-to-user information, calling party subaddress, D channel X.25 packet message, lower layer compatibility or a combination of these elements. The telephones automatically establish ISDN calls between themselves and swap information pertaining to the status of the companion telephones.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for measuring a carbohydrate in a fluid are presented. An amperometric glucose sensor system suitable for glucose monitoring in a biological sample other than blood includes a support member having a sample region defined thereon in fluid communication with a measurement zone including an electrode having an exposed surface area. Biological sample fluid is transported from the sample region to the measurement zone, which includes an exposed catalyst in communication with the electrode providing a minimum sensitivity of at least about 50 micromolar glucose concentration and a noise level of less than about 0.5 nA/?M/mm2. In some embodiments, at least one of a nanofiltration material and a porous absorbent material is provided between the sample region and the measurement zone.

Abstract: The invention includes associated systems and methods for managing a patient's biological data and providing a data interpretation tool for the biological data via a network. One aspect of an embodiment of the invention includes a method comprising providing at least one indicator variable associated with a portion of a patient's biological data, comparing the at least one indicator variable to data associated with an artifacting standard, determining a reliability measure based on at least the comparison between the at least one indicator variable and data associated with the artifacting standard, and providing a reliability indicator based in part on at least the reliability measure.

Abstract: An apparatus for laying deep water sub sea pipelines either by means of reeled pipe or conventional pipelay (“stock on”) is disclosed. The vessel is equipped with a dynamic positioning system that is integrated into the pipelay control system. Both methods of pipe lay utilize a rigid stinger capable of supporting the pipe from near 0 degrees through a departure angle of 90 degrees, simulating a J-lay orientation. The Reel System consists of a storage reel, reel drive system, straightener aligner system, two tensioner systems, three exit rollers, stinger and dynamic positioning system. The conventional pipelay system consists of the above without the storage reel and reel drive system. All pipelay equipment has the capability of leveling winding, thus maintaining a specific pipe profile while the pipe is either being spooled on the quay side or laid on the seabed. The storage reel is modular where it can be removed by either skidding or divided into piece lifts.
