Publication number: 20220262529Abstract: Methods, computer systems, and computer-storage medium are provided for providing clinical information for a person, such as a test result, immediately and the information automatically and immediately pushed to the ordering physicians device. A graphical representation is generated for a clinician to select clinical notification options. The received selection creates a notification to be automatically sent to one or more clinician devices. Automatic notifications reduce delay in clinician action when new clinician information is provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 31, 2018Publication date: August 18, 2022Inventors: Michael McCurdy, Matt R. Anderson, Matthew Joseph Henkes

Publication number: 20210198057Abstract: A compacting system compacts particulate matter in open-top railroad gondola cars rolling on rails. The compacting system comprises a compacting station adjacent the rails and a scanning system that scans the gondola cars as they move along the rails toward the compacting station. The scanning system transmits data of the gondola car to an electronic control system. The compacting station has at least one compaction member, e.g., a plate structure or a roller, configured to contact an upper surface of the particulate matter in the gondola cars. The electronic control system controls the compacting station so that the compaction member engages with and applies force to the upper surface of the particulate matter in the gondola car so as to compress the particulate matter in the gondola. A method for compacting particulate matter in a gondola car is also shown.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 17, 2021Publication date: July 1, 2021Inventors: Charles Wayne Nyquist, Mark D. Stephen, Zachary Johnston Renner, Michael A. McCurdy
