Abstract: Systems and methods for under-voltage protection features in power tools. One power tool provides a motor, a power source, a voltage sensor, and a controller. The power source is configured to selectively provide power to the motor. The voltage sensor is configured to sense a voltage of the power source. The controller is configured to monitor, with the voltage sensor, the voltage of the power source and reduce, when the voltage of the power source is less than or equal to a first threshold value, a current provided from the power source to the motor. The controller is configured to stop, when the voltage of the power source is less than or equal to a second threshold value, providing the current from the power source to the motor.

Abstract: A decision tree processing system comprises non-transitory data storage configured to store a target data stream and a hardware processor in communication with the non-transitory data storage. The hardware processor can be programmed to access the target data stream, apply a decision tree to at least a portion of the target data stream, and generate a predicted outcome based at least partly on the applied decision tree. The decision tree can comprise a question set that is applied to the target data stream to generate a set of answers that are used at least partly to generate the predicted outcome. In various implementations, the decision tree processing system can be applied to geographic information services, prescription medication prior authorizations, or the Internet of Things.

Abstract: Provided are a method and computer system for facilitating a request for prior authorization of insurance coverage for a prescribed drug. An appropriate submission protocol is identified from among a plurality of different submission protocols available based on user input received over a communication network. Content is served to be utilized by a user computer for generating a user interface comprising a plurality of data-entry fields in which a user is to enter the patient-related information that is to be submitted as part of the request for prior authorization. The content transmitted is to be used for generating the user interface to include common fields regardless of which of the plurality of different submission protocols is to be utilized, thereby providing users with a transparent, familiar experience to submit a request for prior authorization according to different submission protocols.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to low toxicity boronated compounds and methods for their use in the treatment, visualization, and diagnosis of tumors. More specifically, the present invention is directed to low toxicity carborane-containing porphyrin compounds with halide, amine, or nitro groups and methods for their use particularly in boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT), X-ray radiation therapy (XRT), and photodynamic therapy (PDT) for the treatment of tumors of the brain, head and neck, and surrounding tissue. The invention is also directed to using these carborane-containing porphyrin compounds in methods of tumor imaging and/or diagnosis such as MRI, SPECT, or PET.

Abstract: A search tool graphical user interface comprises search criteria selected by an operator of the search tool. One, or more search results that correspond to the search criteria are displayed on the search tool graphical user interface, and an indication of characteristics is displayed for one or more of the search results. The characteristics displayed may include the availability ,or maturity of content associated with the search results. The search results may be sorted or filtered based on the characteristics of content associated with the search results. The characteristics may be determined before or after the search results are identified and displayed on the search tool graphical user interface.

Abstract: An avatar that represents an user in a communications session is animated, without user manipulation, based on the animation of another avatar that represents another user in the same instant messaging communication session. The avatars may be displayed in a single instant messaging window, and the displayed animations may create an appearance that the avatars are interacting with one another. An avatar animation may be based on the content communicated by a user and a category that is associated with a user.

Abstract: An avatar may be used to convey information independent of information conveyed directly in a text message sent during an instant messaging communications session between two users. The information may be communicated using a change in the avatar appearance (including animating the avatar) as a communication conduit. For example, information identifying an event or a subject visually represented by an avatar may be accessed. Information may be received that is related to the event or the subject visually represented by the avatar, and an appearance of the avatar may be configured in response to the received information.

Abstract: Techniques are described for forwarding an instant message addressed to an intended instant message recipient to the recipient's mobile telephone. Techniques are also described for prohibiting the forwarding of an instant message addressed to an intended message recipient to the recipient's mobile telephone. Further techniques are provided for updating an intended message recipient's on-line presence information (and/or reflecting the same) to indicate that the intended message recipient prohibits message forwarding to the potential message recipient's mobile telephone or to indicate that the intended message recipient's mobile telephone is unavailable to receive a communication.

Abstract: Transferring instant messaging sessions includes receiving a selection, from a user within a user interface, of at least one instant messaging session from among multiple instant messaging sessions to transfer from a first instant messaging controller on a first device to at least a second instant messaging controller on a second device, where the user is signed on concurrently to the first instant messaging controller on the first device and the second instant messaging controller on the second device. At least a portion of the selected instant messaging session is transferred from the first instant messaging controller on the first device to the second instant messaging controller on the second device and the transferred portion of the instant messaging session is made perceivable on the second instant messaging controller on the second device.

Abstract: Initiating a conference call using a call waiting graphical user interface includes receiving an indication that an incoming telephone call is directed to a telephone number and identifying an account associated with the telephone number to which the incoming call is directed. Configuration data related to the account is accessed. A first online identity and a second online identity associated with the account are identified based on the configuration data accessed. A first electronic communication is sent to the first online identity and a second electronic communication is sent to the second online identity. The first online identity can respond to the first electronic communication and the second online identity can respond to the second electronic communication.

Abstract: Disclosed is a computer-implemented method for maintaining a business relationship between a seller (i.e., a first entity) and a buyer (i.e. a second entity).

Abstract: The present invention provides a highly effective method for determining very low concentrations of heavy metals such as lead, cadminum, mercury, and copper in body fluids. Ratios of d-5'-N/Pyr-5'-N activities which display greater deviation and stronger correlation with blood heavy metal concentrations than absolute Pyr-5'-N activities alone, are utilized to provide a highly sensitive, internally controlled biomarker of low-level lead overburden, for example.

Abstract: For use in an intrusion alarm system, transmitting and receiving transducer structures adapted for mounting at the ceiling or other surface of a protected enclosure and providing modified energy patterns. Each transducer structure has reduced sensitivity along the normal or boresight axis thereof, and increased sensitivity along axes angularly displaced from the boresight axis. Each transducer structure includes a resonant cavity terminating in an aperture, the geometric characteristics and dimensions of which provide partial cancellation of energy reflections returned along the boresight axis while enhancing or cancelling to a lesser degree those reflections received along axes angularly displaced from the boresight axis.
