  • Publication number: 20250131997
    Abstract: A patient data charting device configured to automatically capture electronic patient care record (ePCR) data from a caregiver is provided. The device includes a memory storing an ePCR including a plurality of data fields, an output device, a microphone configured to acquire speech, and a processor. The processor is configured to convert the speech to text, identify a first value of a data field of the plurality of data fields based on the text, populate the first data field with the first value, generate a prompt that requests a second value of a second data field of the plurality of data fields based on the first data field, and present the prompt to the caregiver via the output device.

  • Patent number: 11033455
    Abstract: A system and method for post-case analysis of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) performance trends is described. Such a system includes a processor configured to communicatively couple to a CPR metrics devices and to an output device and a memory including processor-executable instructions configured to cause the processor to receive, from the CPR metrics devices, treatment data including CPR performance data collected by the CPR metrics devices during medical treatment of one or more individuals, determine, from the CPR performance data, CPR performance metrics including a motion-based chest release parameter and at least one of chest compression depth and chest compression rate, and control the output device to concurrently display time trends of the CPR performance metrics, wherein the time trends indicate values of the CPR performance metrics over two or more equal time intervals during the medical treatment of the one or more individuals.

  • Publication number: 20070193743
    Abstract: A system and process is disclosed for retorting oil shale and extracting shale oil and other hydrocarbons therefrom, in which a cased heat delivery well is drilled generally vertically through an overburden and then through a body of oil shale to be retorted to the bottom thereof, generally horizontally under the body of oil shale to be retorted, and then back to the earth surface. Heat energy is transmitted conductively to the body of oil shale to be retorted from a closed loop heat delivery module in the well, the module comprising a fluid transmission pipe containing a heating fluid heated to at least a retorting temperature. Heat energy is also transmitted to the body of oil shale to be retorted above the fluid transmission pipe by vapor conduits that conduct retort vapors upward through the body of oil shale to be retorted; the ascending retort vapors condense and reflux, delivering their latent heat of vaporization to the body of oil shale to be retorted, and the condensed retort liquids descend.

  • Patent number: 4695257
    Abstract: The invention is a game in which tiles are placed on a game surface to teach a discipline or area of study. The invention will be described in terms of a math game board although the principles taught can be used with many fields of study. The surface has a series of geometrical shapes presented to the player either simultaneously or serially. Each of the geometrical shapes has a plurality of discrete marked off "problem bases". Each of the problem bases have a series of symbols providing a problem. A symbol or symbols on the answer base answers the problem presented via the problem base. When the answer base of each tile having a symbol or symbols correctly answering the problems presented on each of the problem bases is correctly placed on the appropriate problem base, the tiles correctively duplicate each of the geometric shapes of the series.
