Publication number: 20120078679Abstract: A facility is described for enabling workflow applications. The facility receives a request to identify an optimized resource list that identifies resources capable of performing a workflow process task. The workflow process task can be associated with a document type relating to a document associated with a workflow envelope. The workflow envelope can store multiple documents of at different document types. The facility includes a workflow engine and a simulation engine. The workflow engine performs workflow process tasks based on the tasks identified in the workflow envelope. The simulation engine can employ modeling and historical data from a workflow metrics data source to generate the optimized resource list and identify identifying resources matching the workflow process tasks identified in the workflow envelope. The simulation engine can be used to model the workflow process to adapt, modify or otherwise control the workflow.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 29, 2011Publication date: March 29, 2012Inventors: Brian Hodges, Colin Kinahan, Simon Orrell, Thomas Denny, Rick R. Roth, Christian Stephens, Thomas Brooks, Scott I. Tattrie, Marvin K. Lum, Kirk Slone, Eric Jobin, Daren Yong

Publication number: 20070263556Abstract: Techniques are described for providing users of client devices with coordinated access to information and/or functionality of multiple types, such as by using multiple types of connections to multiple information services of distinct types that exchange context information related to activities of the users and/or clients. The client devices can be, for example, wireless devices with multiple distinct modes (e.g., voice and data modes) for different types of connections with different types of servers (e.g., voice servers and data servers). In some situations, coordination between different servers allows multiple distinct interaction sessions of different types with different servers to remain synchronized or otherwise coordinated over time as the user performs interactions via the different sessions. This abstract is provided to comply with rules requiring an abstract, and is not intended to be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 8, 2007Publication date: November 15, 2007Applicant: Captaris, Inc.Inventors: Paul Harris, David Deckert, Douglas Murray, Thomas Denny

Patent number: 5347995Abstract: A disposable laryngoscope blade cover that includes a flexible sleeve and a resilient slide band for use in conjunction with a laryngoscope having a blade and a handle. The sleeve has an open end and a closed end. The open end is received by the blade and the handle. The sleeve covers the blade and at least a portion of the handle. The resilient slide band is fixedly attached to the sleeve. The band engages the handle to maintain the sleeve on the laryngoscope. After the cover has been used, the band can be disengaged from the handle for removal of the sleeve from the laryngoscope. The invention is also directed to a method for maintaining the sterility of the cover.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 1993Date of Patent: September 20, 1994Inventors: William M. Slater, Anthony M. Chiasson, Thomas A. Denny

Patent number: 5045080Abstract: Woven and nonwoven fabrics for use in surgical procedures are printed with a radiopaque polymeric composition which bonds to the surface of the fabric. The composition is applied in a visually distinctive pattern, or may assume the pattern of the underlying fabric. The polymeric composition is readily recognized in an X-ray image and provides an improved means for detecting a surgical sponge inadvertently left in a patient. Preferred compositions are latex or plastisols of a printable viscosity containing from 15 to 70% by weight BaSO.sub.4 having a particle size greater than about 5 microns.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 1986Date of Patent: September 3, 1991Assignee: Johnson & Johnson Medical, Inc.Inventors: John Dyer, Thomas A. Denny, Stephen Papp, Jr.

Patent number: 4870976Abstract: An improved intravenous injection shield assembly is disclosed. The assembly includes a protective shield member made of a rigid transparent plastic material. The assembly further includes strap members for holding the assembly in a predetermined position on a limb. The assembly when positioned on the limb is longitudinally extending with respect to the limb to prevent the bending of the limb. When the shield is positioned on the limb, a space is defined between the uppermost surface of the shield member and the upper surface of the limb. An intravenous needle and tubing can be positioned in the space between the shield member and the limb.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 1987Date of Patent: October 3, 1989Inventor: Thomas A. Denny

Patent number: 4540398Abstract: A surgical swab comprises a warp knitted body portion (1) and an integrally warp knitted handling tape (3). Both the body portion and the handling tape are formed as two superimposed layers on a twin needle bed knitting machine, the respective longitudinal and/or laterally extending edges of each layer being joined by interknitting.The swab may be cut from a continuous swab strip which is formed by continuously knitting a length of body portion fabric and of handling tape fabric with a lateral band of the fabrics being knitted together at intervals. Individual swabs are separated from the strip by cutting through the lateral band.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 1983Date of Patent: September 10, 1985Assignee: Johnson & Johnson Products, Inc.Inventors: Craig Barson, Thomas Denny

Patent number: 4031610Abstract: A method of assembling a dynamoelectric machine with the desired concentricity of the stator and rotor by mounting rotor bearings in loose supporting relationship with bearing brackets having a fixed relationship with the stator, and then locating the bearings in their respective brackets to support the rotor concentrically of the stator, and finally fixedly attaching the bearings to their brackets in their concentrically supportive positions.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 1974Date of Patent: June 28, 1977Assignee: Airborne Mfg. Co.Inventors: Karnel Singh, Thomas A. Denny, Daniel P. Fritz, Orville C. Rising
