Abstract: A system and method for screening for a medical condition within a network of care in which patents being treated for a secondary medical condition are screened for risk profiles indicative of a risk of having a primary medical condition, and conveying that information to appropriate healthcare providers and authorized community care givers. Patents in healthcare delivery site being treated for a fracture may, for instance, be automatically screened for risk profiles related to osteoporosis. If matches are found, a physician associated with the patient may be informed of the treatment for the secondary condition, and of the potential risk for the primary condition, as well as a request for consideration for evaluative tests and treatments for the primary condition. This may be done by updating a secure electronic database and simultaneously sending the designated physician an email containing the address of the secure electronic database.

Abstract: A function for an electronic typewriter is described which allows the operator of the typewriter to realign the print element of the typewriter to the prior adjacent, or the following adjacent line which contains textual material, even when the present position of the print element is other than a uniform line feed increment or multiple thereof, from the designated destination line. The electronic controls of the typewriter determine the present position of the print element and the vertical location of the line to which the print element is to move, and determines the distance and moves the record sheet to position the print element precisely over the designated line of text.

Abstract: By examining parity for a bit combination representing the present phase state of a stepping motor, a selection can be made as to which phase state should be changed in order to produce rotation of the step motor in a predetermined direction. By including within the parity determination not only the present phase state of the stepping motor, but the logic level of a direction bit (DIR), appropriate phase sequence for either CW or CCW rotation can be selected. In a hardware embodiment of the invention, a conventional parity generator module is used with inputs representing the present motor phase states as well as a logic level for a DIR bit. The output of the parity generator then determines which phase state to change to produce the desired rotation. In a software embodiment, a digital computer dedicates a phase state byte with a bit from each motor phase state and an additional DIR bit. Parity can be determined using a conditional branch on parity instruction or merely summing the phase direction byte.

Abstract: For step motors positioned in response to an external reference location, correction for potential one step misalignment is provided. The method and the apparatus of the invention provide a read/write memory, for storing therein a phase state of the step motor at a particular location, e.g. a home position. The home position may coincide with the external reference location or may be offset therefrom by some predetermined move of the step motor. During cold starts, where memory is not retained, the step motor is moved to its home position and then the phase state of the machine is saved. On subsequent warm starts, after the step motor is moved to the assumed home position, the step motor is controlled to assume the phase state that has been previously stored.

Abstract: A color-forming sulfonamidodiphenylamine dye precursor has sulfonamido groups in the ortho position and para position in relation to the --NH-- moiety of the sulfonamidodiphenylamine and, in oxidized form, intramolecularly reacts to produce a sulfonamido-substituted phenazine dye. Such color-forming sulfonamidodiphenylamine dye precursors are useful to produce a dye image by cross-oxidation in an imaging material.

Abstract: Color-forming para-sulfonamidodiphenylamines and their corresponding sulfonimide dyes are useful in imaging materials. The color-forming sulfonamidodiphenylamines are prepared by condensation reactions. The corresponding sulfonimide dyes are formed by oxidation of the color-forming sulfonamidodiphenylamines by means of a suitable oxidizing agent, such as the oxidized form of a cross-oxidizing silver halide developing agent.

Abstract: A color-forming para-sulfonamidodiphenylamine dye precursor in a photographic material and process enables formation of a sulfonimide dye image by means of cross-oxidation without the need for a coupling reaction. The color-forming para-sulfonamidodiphenylamine dye precursor is useful in a photographic silver halide material for producing (i) a dye image, or (ii) a dye image and silver image. The exposed photographic material is processed to produce (a) a positive dye image, (b) a negative dye and negative silver image, (c) a negative dye image or (d) a positive dye image and a positive silver image.

Abstract: A color-forming para sulfonamidodiphenylamine dye precursor has one or two sulfonamido groups in positions ortho to the amine --NH-- moiety separating the two phenyl rings of the para sulfonamidodiphenylamine and, in oxidized form, intramolecularly reacts to produce a sulfonamido-substituted phenazine dye. Such color-forming para sulfonamidodiphenylamine dye precursors are useful to produce a dye image by cross-oxidation in an imaging material.

Abstract: In a photographic material for producing a dye image or a dye image and silver image comprising (1) a photographic metal salt, such as photographic silver halide, and (2) a dye precursor, improved images are provided by means of a color-forming para-sulfonamidodiphenylamine dye precursor having one to two sulfonamido groups in positions ortho to the --NH-- moiety separating the two phenyl groups of the sulfonamidodiphenylamine and wherein the sulfonamidodiphenylamine, in oxidized form, intramolecularly reacts to produce a sulfonamido-substituted phenazine dye. An exposed photographic material containing the color-forming sulfonamidodiphenylamine dye precursor is processed to produce a negative phenazine dye-enhanced silver image. Alternatively, the exposed photographic material is processed to produce a positive phenazine dye image.

Abstract: A photothermographic material comprising in reactive association (a) photosensitive silver halide, (b) an image-forming combination comprising (i) a silver salt of certain 1,2,4-mercaptotriazole derivatives with (ii) a silver halide developing agent, and (c) a polymeric binder, provides developed images without the need for processing solutions or baths. An image can be developed in this material by merely heating the material to moderately elevated temperatures. The silver salts of certain 3-amino-1,2,4-mercaptotriazole derivatives are particularly preferred compounds. Other addenda employed in heat developable photothermographic materials, such as sensitizing dyes, can be employed with the photothermographic materials described.
