  • Publication number: 20240146452
    Abstract: A method includes receiving a bit string at a processor, performing an error correction, and causing transmission of a modulated signal. The error correction includes identifying a set of binary strings based on the bit string, mapping each binary string from the set of binary strings to a first abelian group element from a set of first abelian group elements, and applying a generalization of polar codes to the set of first abelian group elements to produce a set of second abelian group elements. The error correction also includes mapping each of the second abelian group elements to an in-phase/quadrature (I/Q) point from a set of I/Q points and identifying real-valued points based on the set of I/Q points, each of the real-valued points representing an I/Q point from the set of I/Q points. The modulated signal has a modulation that is based on the real-valued points.

  • Publication number: 20210100232
    Abstract: A spring loaded fishing pole assembly for increasing the casting distance of a fishing lure includes a handle that has a first socket therein. An extension rod releasably engaging the first socket and the extension rod has a second socket therein. A fishing pole is provided that has a plurality of coils formed therein to define a coiled section of the fishing pole. The fishing pole releasably engages the second socket. Moreover, the fishing pole is comprised of a resiliently bendable material thereby facilitating the coiled section to whip the fishing pole when the fishing pole is cast. In this way the fishing pole increases a casting distance of a lure.

  • Publication number: 20080154642
    Abstract: Software and a system created by the software with its application are applied in the healthcare setting for various patients corresponding to the CMS or JCAHO core measures. The software and its system captures necessary patient data related to future P4P initiatives designed by federal authorities, private payors or other organizations plus report safety events. The software allows real-time data entry at the bedside, during patient care processes, from admission to discharge. The system provides real-time feedback to practitioners on their performance as well as hospital benchmarking. The software can be used on a variety of hardware devices, and may gather data from various hospital information systems.

  • Publication number: 20060252831
    Abstract: A method for the treatment of depleted intracellular and serum magnesium levels by administration of a highly bioavailable magnesium salt is disclosed. A prescription dispensing system is also disclosed. The highly bioavailable magnesium salt can be administered alone or as adjunctive therapy in conjunction with various medications that cause or exacerbate depleted intracellular magnesium levels, such as renal magnesium wasting medications, including diuretics, immunosuppressants, chemotherapeutic agents, and antibiotics. The highly bioavailable magnesium salt can also be used as adjunctive therapy in conjunction with Class III anti-arrhythmic drugs to attenuate the QTc interval and reduce the risk of fatal arrhythmias, which are a common risk associated with Class III anti-arrhythmic drugs.
