Abstract: The present invention is a system that utilizes high pressure gas (greater than ½ psig) to control flow rate and gas discharge velocity to enable interchangeability between a plurality of gases without having to change the gas/air mixing venturi size or air opening. A new approach is to use the available incoming higher gas pressure to the appliance then control the volumetric flow rate with the first orifice and then use a second orifice to change the velocity of discharge into the gas/air mixing venturi of the burner and therefore have adjustability of gas air mixing conditions without having to change the burner system or air flow control even when changing between very different fuel gases.

Abstract: A system for organizing, managing, and reporting data relating to a corporate entity, comprising; at least one database configured to store a document record relating to a corporate action, the document record further comprising a core record reflecting human-readable information for incorporation into the generated document and stored with the document record, the document record further comprising a set of tags stored with the document record; a business logic module, coupled to the at least one database; and at least one document template stored in the at least one database and comprising instructions for generating, at the business logic module, a document based on the core record with an initial set of tags, wherein a first tag of the set of tags is in a text format and associates a human-readable document type with the document record, thereby providing namespaced tagging and retrieval of document records.

Abstract: A radiant heating apparatus having a tube, a partial enclosure device and a heating wing. The heating wing has a wing proximal end that connects to the partial enclosure device's exterior surface. The heating wing also has a wing distal end that obliquely extends outwardly in relation to the partial enclosure device and toward a first direction. The heating wing, except at the wing proximal end, and the partial enclosure device's exterior surface are spaced apart so the heating wing re-directs second direction heat energy in the first direction.

Abstract: A method for processing risk factors for a user is disclosed. The method may include receiving protocol data for creating a risk factor engine by an application stored and executed at a computing device. The risk factor engine may be stored in memory and executable by a processor to process a first set of stored user health data for a user. The protocol data may include a rule and one or more health attribute values. The rule and the one or more health attribute values may each include a computer programming expression editable by an administrator. The method may further include determining a user health score through execution of the risk factor engine by the processor and based on the user health data.

Abstract: A system is disclosed for organizing, managing, and reporting data relating to a corporate entity, comprising: at least one database configured to store: a first entity record representing a first legal entity; a second entity record representing a second legal entity in a relationship with the first legal entity; a source team associated with the second legal entity and further comprising team members; and a reference to a team stakeholder associated with the first entity record, the team stakeholder further comprising a reference back to the team members of the source team and access rights for the team members within the context of the first entity, thereby enabling team members associated with the second legal entity to be represented in the context of the first legal entity. The represented stakeholder may further comprise a signature, byline, title, and name.

Abstract: A system for corporate governance and for organizing, managing, and reporting data relating to a corporate entity is described. A database is configured to store a core record with a document record. A business logic module, coupled to the database, uses instructions in a document template for generating a document based on the core record, the core record further comprising a value reflecting human-readable information to be incorporated into the generated document, the core record further comprising a provenance of the value for allowing the business logic module to assess validity of the value at a given time by evaluating where the value was originated, the business logic module thereby enabling the system to verifiably generate documents that reflect a present state of the corporate entity.

Abstract: A content delivery system including a subscriber controller and cache, a source controller configured to transmit content to the subscriber controller and cache via a multicast transmission; and a network content delivery controller (NCDC) in communication with the subscriber controller and cache and source controller. A control plane is used to communicate the delivery of control information using Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP) between the subscriber controller and cache, source controller, and NCDC.

Abstract: Risk factor data can be processed by a risk factor coaching engine to determine health risk for a user. The risk factor coaching engine may be executed within a health coaching protocol to perform actions that provide a user with information, recommendations and alerts via other coaching engines, and appointments with health care professionals. The risk factor coaching engine may also predict attribute values for a user based on a time period and goals for user health data upon which the predicted attribute value is based.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a system includes a server, a patient device, and a caregiver device. The patient device is associated with a patient and is configured to communicate with the server. The patient device is configured to send signals of various urgency to the server. The server can prioritize a caregivers workflow and send a list of tasks to the caregiver via the caregiver device. The order of the list of tasks can be based, at least in part, on the urgency of a signal sent by the patient device.

Abstract: An automated coaching service executes one or more coaches for a health service user. The coaches evaluate expressions created in part from a current user status and evaluate whether any actions should be taken for the user. Once an action has been performed, the status of the user is updated and taken into account the next time user coaches are executed. Actions performed by health coach service coaches can be directed to a user or a health care professional. The health coach service can provide a dynamic coaching mechanism to the user that provides custom coaching based on the most current user health data and recent actions performed for the user.

Abstract: An author can create a protocol for providing user health coaching. The protocol is based on attributes and configures a health coaching service to be provided for a user. The author can use the attributes to report user health status, set user health goals, and evaluate expressions related to the user's health. The user health status can be reported based on author-created ranges that contain a user health attribute value. User health goals with respect to an attribute can be set over time for a user (or group of users) by the author. Expressions related to the user's health can be created by the author from sets of attributes and operators and executed as rules.
