Abstract: The invention presents a computerized method for tracking equipment repair that begins by receiving an equipment identification of an item of equipment to be repaired from a user through a graphic user interface. The invention provides the user with a list of common problems for that item of equipment (and similar equipment) and a component hierarchy for the item of equipment. The invention allows the user to browse through multiple levels of the component hierarchy and select a major component, a minor component, or a subcomponent from the component hierarchy. The invention receives diagnosis input from the user optionally selecting one of the problems and/or a component from the component hierarchy and, in response, provides the user with detailed information regarding the problem or component selected by the user.

Abstract: A system for automated management of a clinical trial for pharmaceutical, biomedical, and medical device development that facilitates pharmaceutical research and reporting, including at least one site server 222, at least one computing device 218 configured to collect primary clinical trial data, and an authorized user accessible computing device 234. The central server 232 is configured to receive the primary clinical trial data from each site server 222, to store the primary clinical trial data, to create secondary clinical trial data based on the primary clinical trial data, and to transmit the primary and secondary clinical trial data to the authorized user accessible computing device 234. Also provided is a method for automatically managing a clinical trial for pharmaceutical, biomedical, and medical device development in order to facilitate pharmaceutical research and reporting, which further includes a computer readable signal containing a set of instructions to perform a corresponding method.
