  • Patent number: 8977692
    Abstract: Automated handling of a notification from a federal court is provided in which its disposition is determined responsively to data contained in the notification, or to data that relates to a matter referred to in the notification. In an illustrative example, an email application identifies an email as a bankruptcy notification. An automated notification handling system enhances the data in the notification email by supplementing the notification email data with related data that is matched from a case management system database, and further follows links in the notification email to download documents that are filed with the court. The documents are copied to storage or appended to the enhanced notification email data. The disposition of the notification is determined by invoking rules responsively to the enhanced notification email data which is then sent, using rules-based routing, to an appropriate destination to be handled, stored or deleted as required.

  • Publication number: 20070238942
    Abstract: A method and an apparatus are disclosed for detecting gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in the esophagus of a patient. A capsule with pH-sensitive dissolving properties is placed in the lower portion of the esophagus of the patient. The capsule is removed after a period of time, such as about 24 hours. The change in weight or volume of the capsule, or both, allows detection of acid reflux, i.e., the presence of acid in the esophagus for even a relatively short duration during the period of time. If the weight or volume change is significant, the capsule allows diagnosis of GERD. Alternatively, an amount of time during which the capsule was exposed to acid in the esophagus may be determined by dissolving the capsule remaining and using a solution property, such as conductivity, pH, color, or turbidity.
