Abstract: A method of manufacturing ceramic tape includes a step of directing a tape of partially-sintered ceramic into a furnace. The tape is partially-sintered such that grains of the ceramic are fused to one another yet the tape still includes at least 10% porosity by volume, where the porosity refers to volume of the tape unoccupied by the ceramic. The method further includes steps of conveying the tape through the furnace and further sintering the tape as the tape is conveyed through the furnace. The porosity of the tape decreases during the further sintering step.

Abstract: A method and system for providing curriculum management services. In an operation, a user may access curriculum management system from a computer terminal. A user may send information and/or commands to a processing module. A user may enter or update information stored in one or more databases. A user may select or be assigned one or more objectives from an objective dataset. An objective module may access one or more databases containing information from one or more objective datasets. Given an objective from an objective set, processing module may request a course dataset from a course module. Information regarding a user's pathways may be sent to a display module for viewing by the user.

Abstract: A system and method for rapidly customizing and printing documents is disclosed. The system supports product lines having a plurality of customizable products therein, through the use of a single Web page that is continually updated in a data-driven fashion. The system is robust, easily expandable, and quickly deployable across a plurality of user platforms and geographic locations. Methods of the invention disclosed herein enable users to perform customization projects and to print the documents created thereby, either at a remote printer such as at a document factory, or at the user's own, local printer.

Abstract: A system and method enables a user such as a visitor to a facility to create a photographic identification card for himself. The user terminal prompts a user to enter identifying information including his name, and takes a photograph of the user. An identification badge is printed for the user upon predefined media. The identification card may be provided with a barcode and unique identification number. The user may be presented with a preview of the identification as the identification card is to be printed. Upon exiting the location, the user may scan the barcode or enter the unique identification number to sign out of the system and exit the location. A user activity log may be maintained at a server such that each time an identification card is created, printed or signed out, the log is updated with information regarding the user information, date, time, location or other information.

Abstract: A networked-based learning system wherein healthcare providers, or other professionals, establish business rule chains encompassing a series of business rule events and apply a chain to a specific client. The chains include a series of lessons and feedback mechanisms, usually tied to a specific chronological event. At the appropriate time the client's dossier is combined with specific business rules to dynamically generate a specific lesson, as well as an optional feedback loop. This lesson is then communicated to the client either electronically by any electronic method including but not limited to email, web page, SMS message, and voice or via tangible media including but not limited to postal mail, fax, or courier. After completing their lesson the patient moves through a feedback mechanism assessing how well they learned the material; this feedback loop is transferred back to the professional either electronically or via tangible media.
