  • Patent number: 11923052
    Abstract: An Electronic Health Record (EHR) data blockchain system configured to allow multiple entities (e.g., pharmacy industry entities and healthcare providers that can act as data, service, product and service providers, and consumers) to connect to an EHR patient transaction blockchain (e.g., EHR-DATA-BC) and an EHR Data Patient Portal (e.g., EHR-Data-PP) to provide a centralized location for messages and subsequent edits to ensure uniform message data is presented. The EHR data blockchain system can include an EHR Data API, an EHR patient transaction blockchain API, and an EHR patient transaction blockchain. The EHR data blockchain system can provide workflow on the blockchain that can utilize smart contracts to define workflow processes, expected outcomes, and financial costs. When a prescription transaction is complete, it will result in the settlement of each of the smart contracts that were added to the prescription workflow.

  • Patent number: 11635393
    Abstract: A system for non-destructive testing of an overhead energized electrical component. The system has a base, an X-ray source, an X-ray digital imager, and an imager controller. The system also has a removable electrically conductive flexible shield which is adapted to be operatively coupled to, and to encapsulate, at least the base, the X-ray source, the X-ray digital imager and the imager controller so as to form a shrouded system. In a use position, when the shrouded system is positioned adjacent the energized electrical component so as to non-destructively test the energized electrical component, the shield protects at least the base, the X-ray source, the X-ray digital imager and the imager controller from electric fields around the energized electrical component while allowing signal communication between at least the X-ray source and the energized electrical component.

  • Publication number: 20220212589
    Abstract: A side tipper system for a vehicle includes a container for carrying material and selectively discharging carried material. The container includes a container body defining an upper portion of a first side wall, a second side wall opposing the first side wall, and a pair of opposing end walls; a floor pivotally coupled to the second side wall; and a side door pivotally coupled to the floor and defining a lower portion of the first side wall in a closed position and forming a discharge opening in an open position. The system further includes end assemblies configured to be mounted to a vehicle chassis at respective ends of the container, each end assembly operatively coupled to the container for supporting the container and for controlling discharge of material by: moving the side door from the closed position to the open position; and lifting the container body relative to the chassis.

  • Publication number: 20110148686
    Abstract: Sensing moving entities includes transmitting a stepped-frequency radar signal including multiple frequencies through a wall from a first side of the wall to a second side of the wall. Portions of the radar signal that are reflected by entities located beyond the second side of the wall are detected. The reflected portions are processed to generate processed data including information associated with frequency shifts between the transmitted signal and the detected signal. The processed data is analyzed to determine if reflected portions are associated with moving entities.

  • Publication number: 20080091870
    Abstract: Provided are a system and program for allowing communication among nodes in a system. A request is received in a source node from a source object executing in the source node to send a message to a destination object executing in a destination node. Each node includes a processor capable of multitasking multiple program objects and a communication interface to transmit and receive data with the other nodes. A determination is made in the source node as to whether the destination node and source node are a same node. The message is sent in the source node to the destination object within the source node if the destination node is the source node. If the destination node is not the source node, then the source node transmits the message to the destination node through the communication interface. The destination node sends the message to the destination object within the destination node.

  • Publication number: 20070215557
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for a grease processing unit for wastewater treatment. An embodiment of a grease processing unit includes a tank to hold influent. The tank has a top, a bottom, and one or more sides, and the influent is a mixture of grease and water. There is a first inlet in a side of the tank to allow influent to be pumped into the tank, and a second inlet in a side of the tank to allow water into the tank. The tank has an outlet in a side of the tank, where the outlet allows effluent to be released out of the tank. The grease separation unit also includes a control unit, the control unit to control the operation of the grease processing unit.

  • Publication number: 20060190599
    Abstract: Addressing failure is handled in a nodal system of processor nodes, which comprise at least one processor and at least one interface to a network. Upon detection of a node address failure of a processor node for the network, such as lack of a node address, or presence of a duplicate address, the processor node is disabled from the network, thereby temporarily failing the processor node so that the system remains operational. An alternate node address stored in nonvolatile memory may be selected that avoids the node address failure.
