  • Patent number: 11853976
    Abstract: A system to manage records in a healthcare practice includes a server and a memory that stores patient data records and inventory equipment records. A check-in client computing device and first and second HCP client computing devices run apps that program respective devices to check-in patients for appointments, retrieve, and store patient healthcare data at the server. Display screens show approved appointments and the apps sort appointments as selected. The patient check-in app verifies that patients meet check-in requirements and locks the appointments of patients who do not. Apps retrieve patient data for the approved appointments and sort them. The server stores examination, treatment, and prescription data. Equipment inventory delivery data and returns data are stored. The server is programmed to communicate with all apps in their form and format of data and to translate all disparate data types into that form and format.

  • Patent number: 11828495
    Abstract: The present disclosure solves the problem of solar energy capture and storage for solar power generating devices. This power system does not rely on batteries to accomplish energy generation during nighttime operating hours or during cloudy days. Solar energy is collected in a chamber equipped with opposing parabolic mirrors and a gaseous medium. The solar energy collector traps the majority of incoming sunlight and, through the processes of thermal radiation, heat conduction, and heat convection, converts said sunlight into useable heat energy. The heated gaseous medium is pumped to a Stirling engine for the purpose of conversion to mechanical power.
