Patent number: 8807930Abstract: An airfoil comprises pressure and suction surfaces extending axially from a leading edge to a trailing edge and radially from a root section to a tip section, defining a mean span therebetween. An inner endwall defines an inner endwall contour extending axially and circumferentially from the root section, and an outer endwall defines an outer endwall contour extending axially and circumferentially from the tip section. The inner and outer endwall contours are defined by varying radial deviations from circumferentially uniform nominal inner and outer radii, where one of the radial deviations varies axially and circumferentially by at least three percent of a mean span of the airfoil.Type: GrantFiled: November 1, 2011Date of Patent: August 19, 2014Assignee: United Technologies CorporationInventors: Brian Green, Sean Nolan

Patent number: 8725536Abstract: A shared secret may be shared between a patient and the patient's healthcare provider. The healthcare provider may submit the shared secret to the database system via a provider interface to generate a validation code. The validation code may be later submitted to the database system by the patient via a patient interface to cause the database system to prompt the patient to submit the shared secret. Upon submission of the shared secret to the database system, the patient may be prompted to approve or deny a request of the healthcare provider to access the electronic medical record of the patient. Access may be granted to the healthcare provider upon approval of the request by the patient.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2008Date of Patent: May 13, 2014Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Kalpita Deobhakta, Sean Nolan, Hubert Van Hoof

Publication number: 20140006051Abstract: The description relates to emergency medical profiles and techniques for creating and accessing emergency medical profiles. One implementation can receive an access request to obtain emergency medical information from a personal health account of a patient. The personal health account can contain dynamically updateable patient information that is organized into a set of categories. This implementation can also provide the emergency medical information responsive to the request. In this case, the emergency medical information can be provided in the form of summarized information from a sub-set of the categories of the patient information contained in the personal health account.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 27, 2012Publication date: January 2, 2014Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Victor Vuong, Scott Hitch, Sean Nolan, Benjamin C.

Publication number: 20130006867Abstract: The description relates to secure patient information handling. One example can receive encrypted patient data from a first entity. The example can receive a request to view the encrypted patient data from a second entity. The request can include a conditional access code and the example can validate the conditional access code. In an instance where the conditional access code is valid, the example can retrieve an encryption key for the encrypted patient data. The example can decrypt at least a portion of the encrypted patient data to produce decrypted patient data. The example can provide at least some of the decrypted patient data to the second entity.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 30, 2011Publication date: January 3, 2013Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Bryan Dove, Sean Nolan, John C.

Patent number: 8099365Abstract: A multi-merchant purchasing system is configured to identify downloadable products selected by a user for purchase. The identified downloadable products are offered by multiple merchants. The multi-merchant purchasing system enables the user to purchase all of the downloadable products in a single transaction. Specifically, the multi-merchant purchasing system determines payment information associated with the user and, with minimum user-interaction, sends the payment information to applications associated with the merchants for processing. The multi-merchant purchasing system may also be configured to receive purchase information from the merchant applications and maintains the purchase information for the user in a locker. The multi-merchant purchasing system may further be configured to automatically download and install the purchased product onto the user's computing device through a software assistant.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2006Date of Patent: January 17, 2012Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Vikram Bhambri, Susan Moore Warren, Matthew D.

Patent number: 8024273Abstract: A database system, which stores electronic medical records, may assign a child-application-identification-code to a healthcare provider via a clinical system intermediary acting on behalf of the healthcare provider. The database system may associate the child-application-identification-code assigned to the healthcare provider with a privacy statement and terms of use associated with the clinical system. The privacy statement and terms of use may be presented to the patient when the patient is prompted by the database system to approve or deny a request by the healthcare provider to access the electronic medical record of the patient stored at the database system.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2008Date of Patent: September 20, 2011Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Kalpita Deobhakta, Sean Nolan, Hubert Van Hoof, Michael Stokes

Patent number: 7328252Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for electronic session management are disclosed. In one embodiment, a user is connected to a server when initiating a session. Until a predetermined period of time passes without any activity from the user, the user is connected to the same server even if the initial connection with the server is broken. During that time, information related to the user is stored in volatile memory of the server. In one embodiment, a one or more searches are performed and the results of the searches are stored on the servers. When a user performs one of the searches the results are retrieved without repeating the searches. Thus, commonly performed searches can be provided in a more efficient manner as compared to performing the searches multiple times.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2006Date of Patent: February 5, 2008Assignee: Drugstore.comInventor: Sean Nolan
