  • Patent number: 9833370
    Abstract: A patient restraining device is secured to a patient supporting structure, such as an ambulance cot, to more safely support a person's body during transport from one place to another. The device includes at least one sheet of fabric and connectors secured to the fabric. With the device fastened to an ambulance cot, either directly or via the ambulance cot mattress, a person is positioned on the cot mattress, and then the fabric is wrapped about the person's body, and the connectors are secured about the person's body. Among other things, the device may be used to stabilize the abdominal mass of a bariatric patient, and thereby safely increase the effective “patient capacity” of an otherwise conventional ambulance cot. When not in use, the device is stored in one or more storage cavities defined by the ambulance cot mattress.

  • Publication number: 20150120264
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and non-transitory, computer-readable media for tuning a model of a subterranean domain. The method may include determining a relationship between a first parameter of the model and a second parameter of the model. A modification to the first parameter causes the second parameter to be modified according to the relationship. The method may also include receiving data representing a physical characteristic of a reservoir represented in the model of the subterranean domain, and modifying the first parameter based at least partially on the data. The method may also include modifying the second parameter based on the relationship, by operation of a processor. The method may further include updating the model using the first parameter and the second parameter after modifying the first parameter and after modifying the second parameter.

  • Patent number: 6401105
    Abstract: An interpretive text system implemented in a host computer system. The host computer system, which may include multiple computers coupled together, includes one or more processors, memory, a fixed disk storage device and an interface to a communication link. The communications link provides a communication medium by which users can access the host computer from remote locations. The host computer includes interpretive text logic, which preferably is implemented in software running on the processor(s), that automatically generates a textual explanation of a set of variable data in response to user input. For example, the user may wish to see an explanation of a set of financial technical data regarding a particular security. The interpretive text logic automatically customizes a textual explanation for that particular security and provides the explanation to the user.
