  • Automated will call system
    Patent number: 8380535
    Abstract: A will call system for automating the management of storage and retrieval of items, preferably medical prescriptions. The automated system provides informational control of all items in the system. The automated will call monitors the length of time an item remains in the system, and into which location an item is placed. An article sensor provides absolute confirmation that an item has been placed or removed from a designated location in the storage unites. The automated will call system uses a controller to permit users to monitor and optimize the storage and retrieval procedures.

  • Device for Gripping and Installing Wire
    Publication number: 20130001491
    Abstract: A wire pulling grip easy and reliably grips wire for pulling the same through a conduit or the like. The grip has cams which maintain contact with the wire even when tension is not applied and regardless of the orientation of the grip, significantly reducing the likelihood that the connection with the wire is lost. The cams are selectively releasable to allow the wire to be easily removed from the grip.

  • Combination stand and jack for wire spools
    Patent number: 8276858
    Abstract: A stand used for supporting spools of wire and the like includes a cam which is operable to increase the length of a leg to thereby raise the spool of wire off of the ground. The stand is adjustable to allow its use with different sizes of spools of wire. The stand allows a single person to raise a spool of wire weighing thousands of pounds off of the ground and support the same to allow the spool to rotate freely upon an axle.

  • Medical treatment applications of swellable and deformable microspheres
    Patent number: 8252339
    Abstract: A method for medical treatment was developed in which microspheres with novel properties are administered in a mammal. The microspheres are made using a novel process that results in microspheres with new combined properties of high density, low fracture, high swell capacity, rapid swell, and deformability following swell. These microspheres may be administered for void filling, tissue bulking, non-vasculature occlusion, body fluid absorption, and delivery of medications.

  • Methods and apparatus for managing sequencing of data received from devices in a retail point of sale system
    Patent number: 8239271
    Abstract: Techniques for managing data received from devices in a point of sale system are described. A point of sale system is operated utilizing independent software objects including a device sequence manager. The device sequence manager communicates with each device producing data for which proper sequencing must be maintained. Upon receiving a data event from a device, the device sequence manager creates a data object and stores the data object in an output queue. Upon receiving a request for data from an executive application, the device sequence manager retrieves the data object from the output queue and transfers it to the executive application, maintaining the sequence in which the data objects were received from the devices.

  • SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR IMPROVED PERINATAL WORKFLOW
    Publication number: 20120075116
    Abstract: Certain examples provide systems and methods for improved perinatal workflow. An example system includes a user interface to display a time continuum of live data for a selected patient. The user interface includes a compressed view of the time continuum of live data over a first time period; an expanded view of the time continuum of live data over a second time period, the second time period to be shorter than the first time period; one or more indicators to be associated with data shown in the expanded view, each indicator to indicate a point of interest in the data; a first control to change the second time period for the expanded view display; and a second control to mark an indicator with respect to the data shown in the expanded view of the time continuum of live data.

  • PULLING JACKET FOR USE WHILE INSTALLING WIRES IN CONDUIT
    Publication number: 20100102286
    Abstract: A system for installing wire and the like in a conduit which includes a plurality of wire pulling grips and a puling jacket is provided. The wire pulling jacket encloses the wire pulling grips and keeps them bundled together, making it easier for an operator to use the same. The wire pulling jacket protects the pulling grips by preventing the grips from catching on the conduit, and also keeps the pulling grips clean. The pulling jacket also increases operator safety by reducing the risk that the operator gets a finger, glove, or other part of the body caught in the wire puling grips as these are pulled into the conduit.

  • Water Powered Generator and Method of using same
    Publication number: 20090236855
    Abstract: This invention utilizes a self contained floating catamaran-type vehicle enclosing turbines and generators, and transmits electricity to a power grid or stores excess electricity on board until it can be transferred. When water hits the blades or paddles of a turbine, the blades or paddles spin around. A series of turbines are attached in line between the hulls of the catamaran, connected to one or more generators inside the hulls. The electricity is then either transmitted by lines to an on shore power grid or storage facility or stored in the catamaran in batteries or other type of storage medium. A connecting rod connects the turbine to the generator, which produces electricity. The electricity is then either transmitted by lines to an on shore storage and distribution network through cables and wires from the catamaran.
