  • Publication number: 20160210440
    Abstract: A human disorder treatment system and method is presented. A disorder diagnosis computing system receives patient data from one or more data input sources, and processes the patient data to generate a diagnosis or risk assessment about a disorder related to a patient associated with the patient data. An output system generates a set of factors and a set of therapy modules based on the diagnosis or risk assessment, the set of therapy modules using the set of factors to generate one or more therapies for the patient to treat the disorder. A client computing system executes the set of therapy modules to incentivize the patient to undergo the one or more therapies to treat the disorder, to monitor a progress of the patient undergoing the one or more therapies, and to generate a reward for the patient for exceeding a desired outcome of undergoing the one or more therapies.

  • Publication number: 20150169844
    Abstract: A system and method for managing treatment of a disorder of a person are disclosed. Data from multiple sources is collected in a data warehouse by a server computer. The data is associated with the disorder, and the sources including a clinical data source and a real-time monitoring source associated with the person. The collected data is normalized against a population of persons sharing the disorder. The normalized data is then associated with the person to generate a treatment regime of the disorder. A compliance by the person with the treatment regime is then calculated based on operational metrics for the population and the data collected from the plurality of sources.

  • Patent number: 8897726
    Abstract: A multipath circuit is described that has multiple signal paths and various common components used for normal operation. Each of the multiple signal paths also has multiple circuit blocks defining the functionality of the signal path. A shared access path is provided through the third winding of a three-way transformer for each signal path. Multiple switches are provided in the multipath circuit that couple to the third winding in each of the multiple signal paths. The switches are also coupled to the various common components. Selected ones of these switches may be closed to provide a shared access path between a common component and one of the signal paths or between a common components and one of the circuit blocks in one of the signal paths.

  • Patent number: 7672317
    Abstract: A method, a system, and network elements for transmitting information between a user equipment and an IP packet gateway, are disclosed, the IP packet gateway communicating with an IP network via an interface, wherein, when the UE is requesting at least one service requiring access to the IP network, authorization of the requested service is checked, wherein an error message is sent from the IP packet gateway to the user equipment, when the requested service is not authorized. The present invention discloses several options of signaling error messages between IP packet gateway and UE, for example, via IP layer signaling (e.g. RESV ERR messages) or link layer signaling (e.g. IS2000 and IOS signaling). The solution according to the present invention, in particular, relates to a CDMA network in connection with an IP multimedia subsystem network.
