  • Publication number: 20060069514
    Abstract: Methods of organizing medical data can include hierarchically relating a single type of medical or research event to medical data generated from the single type of medical or research event in a computer database environment. Organizing the data in this way may enable a researcher to access medical data collected as part of a medical procedure performed on a large number of patients, but at different times. For example, the medical data may be viewed in a more hierarchical fashion, thereby enabling the researcher to further investigate potential relationships between other factors. Related systems, computer program products and data structures are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 6776680
    Abstract: A toy assembly and its associated method of play. The toy assembly includes a hub. Two holes are disposed in the hub through which a loop of string is passed. By winding the string and then pulling the string taut, the string can be caused to rapidly unwind, thus rotating the hub. A removable housing is connected to the hub. The housing has a release mechanism. When the release mechanism is engaged, the housing disengages from the hub. Two players face each other and utilize their toy assemblies to cause their hubs and surrounding housings to turn. The turning housings are then brought to battle by creating contact between the spinning housings. If one housing contacts the release mechanism on another housing, the housing on the contacted toy will separate from the hub and become disabled.
