Abstract: A computer-based system and method for supporting office/practice management offers enhanced patient/client/customer registration functionalities that facilitate efficient and reliable intake and maintenance of patient/client/customer relationships. The system/method includes a patient preference functionality that facilitates appointment scheduling and a “patient flag” functionality that supports extensibility (e.g., linking to an associated document, record or other electronically accessible resource).

Abstract: A method and mechanism for performing improved performance analysis upon transaction level models. A system block may be modeled using transaction model at different levels of abstraction. A testbench may be used to apply a set of stimuli to a transaction model (e.g. a TLM model) and a RTL equivalent model, and store the resulting timing information into a database. The timing information stored in the database may be used to validate the performance of the transaction models and system block. The testbench may analyze transaction models in the TLM domain and the RTL domain through the employment of TVM (transaction verification models) which are components that maps the transaction-level requests made by a test stimulus generator to a detailed signal-level protocol on the RTL design.

Abstract: A copper base alloy and process of treating same. The alloy consists essentially of: about 1.0 to 4.5% silicon; about 1.0 to 5.0% tin; about 0.01 to 0.45% chromium; and the balance essentially copper. Preferably, the chromium level is less than about 0.12% in order to provide good tool wear characteristics.
