Abstract: A customizable drug delivery system and method utilizing a laser pattern generator (LPG) to define application of a drug delivery payload (DDP) contained within a drug delivery device (DDD) to a drug delivery target (DDT) is disclosed. A computer control device (CCD) supervises the LPG to select a drug payload pathway (DPP) from a drug pathway database (DPD) and writes the selected DPP to the DDD. This pathway patterning process (PPP) modifies the hydrophilic properties of the DDD and enables the DDD to selectively attract and absorb the DDP. The DDD is then injected with the DDP or exposed for drug exposure time (DET) by the CCD and DPD during which the DPP written to the DDD absorbs a controlled amount of DDP. The DDD when subsequently inserted into a drug delivery target (DDT) delivers the DDP to the DDT under controlled delivery rates defined by the DPP and the DET.

This animation of change information permits users, which are often busy healthcare professionals, to be quickly apprised of relevant changes to workflow status. The mobile application also allows users to communicate change information, e.g., for updating the status of a workflow item, which may then be propagated throughout a network, including mobile devices.

Abstract: A spatial light modulator outputs modulated light including: modulated first light when the spatial light modulator receives first light; and modulated second light when the spatial light modulator receives second light. Projection optics project the modulated light onto: a first pixel region when a component or the spatial light modulator has a first position; and a second pixel region when the component or the spatial light modulator has a second position. The first and second pixel regions partially overlap. A pixel shifter moves the component or the spatial light modulator between: the first position when the spatial light modulator outputs the modulated first light; and the second position when the spatial light modulator outputs the modulated second light.
