  • Patent number: 11972860
    Abstract: A healthcare charge capture and prioritization system for assisting healthcare providers with capturing their procedures and prioritizing code selection for claim submission is presented. The system can analyze healthcare claim-related data for ranking and ordering Current Procedural Technology (CPT) and International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD) codes to reduce the utilization of additional processing resources and network utilization from repeated system denials. Additionally, the present disclosure can generate and track analytics relevant to a patient encounters and provider action. It is an object of the invention to provide a system for processing and managing patient interactions, processing and managing healthcare-related charge entry, processing and prioritizing healthcare-related procedure technology codes, and processing and prioritizing disease and related health problem codes.

  • Publication number: 20200355782
    Abstract: The invention is for a multi-sensor multiple hypotheses testing tracking system. The multi-hypothesis testing system associates measurements from multiple sensors with tracks. Measurements are incorporated using a Kalman Filter and the same filters are used to propagate the trajectories of the tracks.

  • Patent number: 10752385
    Abstract: A dipole cancellation system and method may include a plurality of magnetometers for measuring a device magnetic field associated with a plurality of device coils generating a device magnetic field having a primary magnetic dipole moment. A compensating coil carrying a compensating current running a first direction that generates a compensating magnetic field having a compensating magnetic dipole moment. The compensating coil may be positioned and the first current may be selected so that the compensating magnetic dipole moment completely cancels the primary magnetic dipole moment. A method may use the system to stabilize a spacecraft by calculating an estimated torque of the spacecraft, receiving a value for an external magnetic field, receiving a value for a device magnetic field, and calculating and applying a compensating current may be then applied to the compensating coil to cancel the primary magnetic dipole moment, wherein the spacecraft is stabilized.

  • Patent number: 10271888
    Abstract: A screwdriver includes a handle having a handle channel extending therethrough and a shaft extending from a proximal end insertable into the handle channel to a distal end including a bit opening sized to receive a proximal portion of a bit therein in combination with a locking sleeve slidably receiving the shaft therethrough and positionable over the shaft distally of the handle and a spring slidably received within the locking sleeve channel over the shaft. A coupling member received over the shaft distally of the locking sleeve is movable from a biased first configuration in which a locking element protrudes radially into the bit opening to lockingly engage a bit received therein and a second configuration in which the coupling member is retracted proximally to compress the spring and permit the locking element to move radially out of the bit opening to permit the bit to be removed therefrom.

  • Patent number: 9832579
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an encapulated hearing device (50), e.g. for long-term wear, in which an electronics module (10) is encapsulated into a thermoformed hull (30) by means of an appropriate adhesive (41). This thermoformed hull (30) acts as an improved barrier between the electronics module (10) and the environment of the inner ear, reducing the risk of moisture reaching electrical components.

  • Publication number: 20130054141
    Abstract: A route finding system comprising a memory, GPS device, library of maps, an optimization algorithm and means for capturing user input and outputting data. The user input includes points, goals, constraints and relative preferences. Goals and constraints include characteristics of the route such as the type of road, number of turns, and traffic. The relative preferences are converted into numerical weights, positive or negative. In addition, the system integrates social networks' ratings and comments to further enhance route selection.

  • Publication number: 20090287578
    Abstract: This invention is a pay charging station for electric and plugin hybrid vehicles. A vehicle parks at a space with the charging station and uses a credit card, debit card, cash, smart card or network connection to a database like EZ-Pass to pay for the space and the electricity. The station automatically charges the vehicle as long as it is connected to the station. The station automatically stops charging when the vehicle is fully charged. The customer only pays for the space and the electricity consumed. If the charging circuit is broken the customer must reinsert the smart card or credit card to restart charging. Sufficient funds are removed from the payment method on initiation of charging. Any money not used for charging is returned to the funding account upon the user reinserting the smart card, credit card or debit card, or cash change is returned if cash was the method of payment.
