  • Patent number: 9865025
    Abstract: A patient encounter documentation and analytics system includes a mobile computing platform and a server-based host platform. A mobile application in tandem with a wireless microphone collects voice signals during a patient-caregiver encounter, transforms the voice signals into audio data files, and uploads the audio data files to the server. A speech recognition software module digitally transcribes the audio data file into text. A text processing module extracts and organizes relevant clinical data based on keyword, key phrase and question/answer analysis. Relevance of words and phrases may be determined in view of, e.g., their presence, frequency and context. A diagnostic decision support module enables the healthcare provider to review the determined clinical information and provide a diagnosis associated with the encounter.

  • Patent number: 5231705
    Abstract: A system for removing unpleasant gaseous odors in a toilet having a bowl, a tank, and an overflow tube is disclosed. The system includes an air intake port located in the toilet bowl. A battery powered suction pump assembly contained in the tank is connected to the air intake port by a suction tubing. A charcoal filter is connected to the suction pump assembly. The suction pump assembly passes the odoriferous air through the charcoal filter prior to exhausting the filtered air into an exhaust tubing which releases the filtered air into the overflow tube. Also disclosed is a method of deodorizing gaseous odors and recirculating the deodorized air in a toilet having a bowl, a tank, and an overflow tube. Odoriferous air is sucked in and removed from the toilet bowl and then filtered and deodorized. The filtered and deodorized air is released into the overflow tube in the tank.
