Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for using a structured data database and for exchanging electronic files containing unstructured or partially structured data. A system stores first structured data in a database, wherein the structured data represents a property. The system generates an electronic file, including by (a) storing unstructured data in the electronic file, wherein the unstructured data causes a representation of the property to be rendered on a face of a document represented by the file and (b) storing an identifier in the electronic file indicating a location in the database at which the first structured data is stored. The file is transmitted outside the system. Upon receipt of a copy of the file, the system reads the identifier from the copy of the received file and accesses the database location indicated by the identifier read from the received file.

Abstract: The present invention is a travel suitcase that is easily deployed to be used as a table for supporting electronic devices charging thereof. Travel suitcase includes a swiveled tray, securing element, pair of telescopic legs and charging unit. Swiveled tray is connected to travel suitcase by a swivel connection that swivels swiveled tray between a first and second positions. Securing element secures swiveled tray in its in-operative configuration at first position. Telescopic legs extend out to reach the ground to support swiveled tray in second position so that swiveled tray is usable as a table. Charging unit has a removable frame that houses a power storage battery and charging socket with at least one three-pin port and USB charging port to charge various devices. Travel suitcase is further provided with a telescopic wheel adjuster for front and/or rear wheels to displace travel suitcase steadily with stability and without much tumbling.

Abstract: An ultrasonic surgical tool system with a tip capable of simultaneously vibrating in plural modes. The system includes a console capable of supplying a drive signal to the tip that includes plural components. Each component has a frequency characteristic that is based in part on the equivalent of current through the mechanical components of the tip. The frequency components are different from each other. Based on the application of drive signal the tip undergoes non-linear vibrations.

Abstract: A method and system for a generic mechanism for adjudication of claims in a claims processing system. The generic mechanism comprises a Web services module, a Web portal, a batch loader, a claim database, and an interface engine. The Web services module, the Web portal, and the batch loader are used by medical providers to submit claims. Upon submission, claim information is converted to generic messages and sent to the interface engine. The interface engine validates the generic messages using a claim schema, prior to converting them to an internal message format, and sending them to a clearing house application. When messages are adjudicated by the clearing house application, they are returned to the interface engine, where the return messages are converted back to generic messages and validated against a return message schema. Valid messages along with any error are returned to the medical providers and submitted for payment approval.

Abstract: A computer apparatus and method process a digital image according to a set of selected colors, and generate from the digital image a paint-by-number image. The set of selected colors may be manually selected one at a time by a user, or a predefined set of colors may be selected by a user. Predefined sets of colors may include commercially-available paint sets, crayon sets, colored marker sets, and colored pencil sets. In this manner, a user may take a digital image (such as a digital photograph of grandma or the family pet), select a particular paint or crayon set, and generate a paint-by-number picture of the digital image that is customized to the selected paint or crayon set. The resulting paint-by-number picture may include a legend that correlates the characters on the paint-by-number picture that represent color to the corresponding colors in the set of selected colors.

Abstract: A game dragging device is provided which includes a first, handle member and a first game grabbing member. The handle member has a pair of leg members and a first hole proximate the distal end of one of its legs. It also has at least a second hole which is located substantially at the mid point of the leg. A first, hook member, is provided which has a barb-like member at one end and a hole proximate its other end. A first rotation member rotatably secures the handle member to the hook member to form a first unit. A second unit is provided which is essentially identical to the first unit. The first and second units are rotatably secured to each other such that the first unit being positioned so as to be reversed relative to second unit. The handle member and the first hook member are secured to each other to form a unit which is essentially in the form of an S-shaped member.
