Abstract: Methods and apparatus to support diagnosis processes are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a data extractor to extract information related to a life stage of a patient from clinical records associated with a patient; and a first interface to interact with a database storing information related to a plurality of hazardous event exposures, wherein interacting with the database comprises determining whether a first one of the hazardous event exposures stored in the database corresponds to the life stage of the patient.

Abstract: A method is provided for prototyping, testing, stimulating and verifying software embedded in a microprocessor without modifications to the underlying source code. The method includes: presenting an software program having a plurality of machine instructions of a finite number of fixed lengths in an executable form; searching through the machine instructions of the executable and finding at least one appropriate instruction to replace; and defining a replacement instruction for identified machine instructions in the software program; and replacing identified machine instructions in the executable form of the software program with the replacement instruction. The replacement instruction may be further defined as a branch instruction that references an address outside an address space for the software program.
