Abstract: HIPAA-compliant computer security method and system for recording, using a video camera, electronic visual personal health information of at least two individuals, including an individual under care, and preventing unauthorized access of the user to the video information. The video is compared to physical attribute information of the individuals stored in the computer system's memory, and the individuals are identified by facial matching. The user's stored caseload has authorization profile information including access to individuals under care. The identified individuals are compared to the user's caseload information, and the user is granted access to part of the video of the individual under care, the video of the other individuals is blurred, and the resulting video is transmitted to the user's caseload for viewing. Data fields of an information request are populated using formatted data from the video information.

Abstract: In various aspects, a covering for an architectural structure includes a bottom rail assembly that can be efficiently and effectively assembled during manufacturing of the covering. Specifically, in one embodiment, the bottom rail is configured such that one or more operating system components of the covering can be mounted within and directly supported by the bottom rail. In addition, a separate cover may be coupled to the bottom rail during the assembly process.

Abstract: A vertical curtain blind includes a panel assembly having a plurality of individual panels coupled together in a side-by-side arrangement. Each panel extends in a vertical direction between a top end and a bottom end. Additionally, each panel includes first and second pockets positioned along first and second sides of the panel, respectively, adjacent to the top end of the panel. The blind associated includes a plurality of clip assemblies, with each clip assembly being configured to couple a respective pair of adjacent panels of the plurality of panels together. Each clip assembly includes a first connector clip positioned within the first pocket of a first panel of the respective pair of adjacent panels and a second connector clip positioned within the second pocket of an adjacent second panel of the respective pair of adjacent panels, with the first connector clip configured to be coupled to the second connector clip.

Abstract: Settlement transactions are processed on a distributed computer system. Settlement data describing a settlement request are received and stored in a settlement storage. The storage includes a request status field with a value describing the status of the settlement request. The settlement data are stored in a vendor file responsive to the value of the request status field. Data describing the vendor file are stored in a vendor file information storage. The vendor file information storage includes a file status field with a value describing the status of the vendor file. The vendor file is provided to a vendor for settlement processing responsive to the value of the file status field. The distributed computer system is able to detect and rectify errors in the distributed computer system by using the request status and file status fields, which allows the distributed computer system to be comprised of conventional computers.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method of providing advertising to a client includes establishing a billing experience between a client and a provider, providing advertising opportunities to the client on at least one of a continual basis and a periodic basis, evaluating a credit risk associated with the client at least one of periodically and upon occurrence of an event, and modifying the billing experience automatically based on the credit risk associated with the client.

Abstract: The present invention relates to systems and methods for managing risk in business transactions. In an embodiment, a computer-implemented method of managing risk exposure of a provide includes providing a product from the provider to a client under an initial billing experience between the provider and the client, evaluating a credit risk associated with the client at least one of periodically or upon occurrence of an event, and modifying a credit line the provider is willing to offer the client.

Abstract: A current limiting power switch has a monolithic stationary conductor with a conductor section that mounts fixed contacts that engage moving contacts on moving contact fingers to form a reverse current loop with the contacts closed. A terminal section projects transversely from one end of the conductor section and an arc runner section extends from the other end. The tapered arc runner has a generally laterally centered tapered area that gathers the arcs and urges them along a raised rib on the arc runner to an arc chute. A reinforcing rib running from the back of the conductor and arc runner sections to the terminal section resists distortion of the monolithic stationary conductor by the high temperatures and closing and electromagnetic forces during interruption.

Abstract: A photoionization detector includes a housing, electrical contacts within the housing and an easily removable and replaceable photoionization chamber within the housing. The photoionization chamber includes a cathodic electrode and an anodic electrode which may be coated with a thin layer of material. The photoionization chamber and the associated cathodic electrode and anodic electrode are removable from within the housing as a unit. The photoionization chamber makes electrical connection with the contacts when seated within the housing regardless of the orientation of the photoionization chamber about an axis.

Abstract: A novel VUV lamp is described, in which one or more portions of the lamp enclosure include a VUV transmissive section to transmit VUV radiation. At least one of the VUV transmissive sections is fabricated from crystalline LiCaAlF6. The entire enclosure of the lamp can, for example, be fabricated from crystalline LiCaAlF6. Alternatively, a portion of the enclosure other than the VUV transmissive section(s) of the lamp can be fabricated from a material other than LiCaAlF6. For example, the material can be glass, ceramic or quartz. In one type of embodiment, the lamp's VUV optical radiation output is produced by an electrical gas discharge inside a sealed bulb. In preferred embodiments of this type, the bulb is filled with a low pressure of nitrogen gas or carbon monoxide gas.
