Abstract: In one aspect, the invention relates to method and systems for automating medical data processing and counseling. A method may include receiving a selection of a condition associated with a plurality of diagnosis possibilities for a patient. The method may further include displaying candidate treatment options based upon, at least in part, the condition associated with the plurality of diagnosis possibilities for the patient. The method may also include receiving a selection of a candidate treatment option from the candidate treatment options displayed and a regimen associated with the candidate treatment option selected. The method may additionally include determining a diagnosis for the patient based upon, at least in part, the condition associated with the plurality of diagnosis possibilities for the patient, the candidate treatment option, and the regimen. The diagnosis may be one of the plurality of diagnosis possibilities for the patient.

Abstract: A clustered server system and a method for maintaining a server cluster involve a plurality of servers that collectively form a server cluster. A master database stores configuration information concerning the server cluster. Each server stores a local copy of the configuration information in a file system. The servers automatically update their respective file system using a database copy of the configuration information if the configuration information changes in the database.

Abstract: A switch actuation assembly is provided with a support means for supporting the switch in a fixed position relative to orientations of a moveable member. A motion response element is operably connected to the moveable member for being moved in one of two directions in response to movement of the moveable member toward one of the orientations and for being moved in the other of the two directions in response to the movement of the moveable member toward the other of the two orientations. An actuating member is provided for engaging the switch to actuate the switch from a first position to a second position. The actuating member is in frictional contact with the motion response element whereby the actuating member is moved by the response element until any force of resistance to the movement of the actuating member exceeds the static friction force.

Abstract: An electrorefining cell includes a bipolar electrode that is comprised of a sheet of acid resistant metal and a basket of the same or similar material attached directly to one side of the sheet, the basket being lined with an acid-resistant filter cloth. A method for electrorefining copper cement in slurry form by piping the slurry into the basket is also shown.

Abstract: A plurality of grain drills are coupled together in end-to-end relation for towing behind a tractor for operation and alternately in an endwise direction for transport. Each drill is supported in field operation by a forward caster wheel and a plurality of side-by-side gangs of press wheels disposed along the rear of the drill. The drills are coupled to the tractor for operation by duplex (or triplex) hitch structure. For endwise transport an endmost drill is provided with a hitch swingable to a transport position for coupling to the tractor. A single transport wheel is mounted on the rear of this drill for movement to a position providing endwise transport. A press wheel gang lock mechanism is arranged for movement to a position locking the gangs against downward movement in response to swinging the endwise hitch to its transport position. This leading drill is thus supported in transport by the front caster wheel, the transport wheel, and the tractor through the endwise hitch.
