Abstract: The presently disclosed subject matter relates to the diagnosis of diseases, and more particularly to the diagnosis of diseases using information contained within an electronic medical record. In particular, the presently disclosed subject matter provides for systems and methods for monitoring, detecting and categorizing disease states. In one embodiment, the system and method can include determining the present or indication of one or more disease state criteria and alerting the hospital information system and at least one clinician if at least one or more disease state criteria are present or indicated.

Abstract: A measurement system apparatus is provided, which includes an elongated bar and a plurality of discrete measurement unit pieces received along the bar. The elongated bar is metered in accordance with a measurement system. Each measurement unit piece represents an incremental unit of the measurement system. A method is also provided for instructing a student as to a measurement system which generally includes the steps of providing an elongated bar, with the bar being metered along its length to reflect incremental units of a measurement system, providing a plurality of measurement unit pieces corresponding to the metered incremental units of the measurement system, and placing selected measurement unit pieces along the elongated bar.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed towards methods and systems and methods for measuring the integrity of an operating system's execution and ensuring that the system's code is performing its intended functionality. This includes examining the integrity of the code that the operating system is executing as well as the data that the operating system accesses. Integrity violations can be detected in the dynamic portions of the code being executed.

Abstract: The transmission of messages among multiple processors is controlled by the use of token and message interrupts. A token interrupt must be received from the processor sought to perform message processing. Failure to receive such a token interrupt prohibits requesting processors from making processing demands, i.e. sending a message interrupt, to the processor. Message interrupts, which may only be transmitted following receipt of a token interrupt, identify commands and user messages to be processed by a receiving processor. This permits instructions and multiple messages to be handled by a processor based on receipt of a single message interrupt. This technique also allows a processor under a temporary heavy load to defer the handling of other processing requests by delaying the transmission of a token interrupt.
