Abstract: A system and method for receiving health data from a community of independent sources of health data related to one or more patients, the health data being selected from the set including oral data, written data and/or electronic data; formatting the health data to enable creation of a universal patient record for each of the one or more patients by tagging of the health data to enable extraction of pertinent portions of the health data for coding of health encounters with the one or more patients; and enabling controlled access to the formatted health data via a network connecting the community of independent sources of health data, the network including at least one central server including a central database storing the formatted health data and at least two on-site servers, each on-site server located at one of the independent sources of health data and each on-site server configured to hold a database replicated from the central database.

Abstract: A system and method for disseminating healthcare data in a database includes storing the healthcare data in the database located in a central server connected to a community of independent sources of the healthcare data for a plurality of patients; incorporating one or more updates to the healthcare data in the database from one or more of the independent sources to enable one or more healthcare providers, including rarely-used healthcare providers, to receive current data concerning the plurality of patients, the current data including demographic data on the plurality of patients; coding the healthcare data in the database to enable on-the-fly transmission of the healthcare data to one or more healthcare service providers outside the community of independent sources.

Abstract: A brazing product for fluxless brazing comprises a substrate and a filler metal-forming composition applied to the substrate. The substrate preferably comprises aluminum, an aluminum alloy or another metal and may include at least one layer of a ceramic, carbide or nitride. The filler metal-forming composition comprises a liquid-forming layer comprising silicon and a braze-promoting layer comprising one or more metals selected from the group comprising nickel, cobalt, palladium and iron. The liquid-forming layer comprises one or more material layers. Where the liquid-forming layer comprises a plurality of layers, it may include at least one layer consisting essentially of silicon.

Abstract: Determining cook-off time for a weapon is disclosed. A method determines a first barrel temperature next to a first energetic, such as a propellant charge, of ammunition within a gun barrel, and determines a second barrel temperature next to a second energetic, such as an explosive charge, of the ammunition. If the ammunition did not properly fire, the method determines a first cook-off time of the first energetic based on the first temperature next to the first energetic and the first energetic's type, and a second cook-off time of the second energetic based on the second temperature next to the second energetic and the second energetic's type. The first and second times may be determined by using one or more finite-difference heat transfer models. If either or both of the first and second times are less than a threshold, a warning-related action is performed to users of the weapon.

Abstract: A brazing product for low temperature fluxless brazing comprises a filler metal-forming composition which melts in the range from about 380-575° C. The filler metal-forming composition comprises zinc optionally in combination with aluminum and/or silicon, and further comprises at least one braze promoter selected from nickel, cobalt, iron and palladium. The filler metal-forming composition may comprise a single layer or may comprise a number of distinct layers. The brazing product may take the form of a brazing preform or a brazing sheet or casting in which the filler metal-forming composition is deposited on a non-consumable substrate. The substrate may preferably comprise aluminum or an aluminum alloy, but may instead be comprised of one or more metals other than aluminum.

Abstract: A container 10 is filled with ceramic balancing beads 20. The container is held closed by a removable clip 15, 16 or a mild adhesive 14. The beads are high density and therefore low in volume with regular surfaces, spherical or ellipsoid, for moving smoothly over one another. The container 20 self-opens when impact forces overcome the mild adhesive.

Abstract: A barrier panel for enclosures and shield with a self-supporting framework of rigid tubes encompassing at least one through opening. The opening is enclosed by a cover sheet of flexible plastic film releasably secured to the framework by snap-on clips and a complementary retainer attached to a side face of the framework.

Abstract: A water spray nozzle for removing paint particles from air exhausted from a paint spray booth. The nozzle has an inlet and an outlet and at least two orifices therebetween which are of progressively diminishing size in a direction toward the outlet. The walls of the nozzle are designed to produce considerable turbulence of the water stream flowing through the nozzle and to produce a wide angle solid spray of water from the nozzle outlet.

Abstract: Polymer blends of ethylene-higher .alpha.-olefin-polyene (EPDM) polymers with highly unsaturated diene rubbers are cured using sulfur and a N,N-(higher alkyl) thiocarbamylsulfenamide as a vulcanization accelerator. The vulcanizates exhibit improved tensile strength, flex-heat build-up, and oil swell properties.

Abstract: Thiocarbamylsulfenamide compounds having alicyclic or heterocyclic groups are good fungicides and bactericides. The compounds exhibit good stability during storage, and are useful to prepare disinfectant compositions.
