Abstract: Techniques for automatically tracking, ordering, and replenishing prescription item stock are provided. Based upon a statistical analysis of prescription order transactions, rules may be established to selectively identify which prescription stocked items qualify for automatic stock tracking, ordering, and replenishment. The rules may be based upon metrics such as a daily rate at which each prescription item is dispensed over a specified sampling period as well as the cost of each prescription item. Once qualified, automatic replenishment may be facilitated by calculating stock number minimums and maximums using a statistical analysis of the prescription transaction history for qualifying prescription items. The minimum and maximum stock number values may be used to trigger the generation of purchase orders and to specify how much stock needs to be ordered for each qualifying prescription item as it is replenished.

Abstract: A bio-sensor device, integrated with a display portion, includes a surface for touching by a body part, such as a finger. A light source, such as an array of LEDs, emit light through the surface so as to be reflected and partially absorbed by the body part An array of photodetectors detects light reflected back by the body part and generates signals corresponding to an image of the light reflection, which corresponds to the light absorption pattern in the body part. The light absorption pattern may correlate to a fingerprint, a blood vessel pattern, blood movement within the blood vessels, combinations thereof, or other biometric feature. A processor receives the signals from the photodetectors and analyzes the signals to determine a characteristic of the body part. The characteristic may be used to authenticate the user of the bio-sensor device by comparing the detected characteristic to a stored characteristic.
