Publication number: 20240105300Abstract: A facility for causing the refill of prescriptions is described. The facility conducts a conversational exchange with a person. From the exchange, the facility discerns (1) an intent of refilling a prescription, and (2) an identification of a prescription to be fulfilled. In response to this discerning, the facility causes a pharmacy refill order to be placed on behalf of the person for the identified prescription.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 22, 2022Publication date: March 28, 2024Inventors: Wayne T.

Publication number: 20210199682Abstract: A sample preparation instrument with an integrated device for estimating a concentration of white blood cells in a specimen is described. The sample preparation instrument receives a specimen for which a sample is to be prepared for analysis. The integrated device can implement an optical method, an electrical resistance method, or a flow cytometry method, for example, to estimate the white blood cell concentration in the specimen. For some types of analysis, a sample volume of the specimen is dependent on the white blood cell concentration. Therefore, the sample preparation instrument can automatically determine and adjust the sample volume of the specimen based on the estimated white blood cell concentration prior to adding additional reagents, such as labeling reagents and/or lytic reagents, to prepare the sample.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 18, 2020Publication date: July 1, 2021Applicant: Beckman Coulter, Inc.Inventors: Juan FERNANDEZ DE CASTRO, William GUTIERREZ, Martin ADELMANN, Jose CANO, Eric STATLER

Patent number: 6643579Abstract: A system for navigation and collision avoidance where aircraft and vessels determine their position by GPS and report that position to a system of satellites along with local parameters such as heading and attitude. This system of satellites allows communication and exchange of information between all the satellites. Each participating craft receives from at least one of these satellites the positions, headings, speed and other parameters of all craft in the system or of all craft in the vicinity. A display can display a situation or a view located on any craft in the system (but normally on the craft where it is located) to inform o hazards and pending collisions. Icons and craft information appear for all craft being displayed.Type: GrantFiled: September 6, 2002Date of Patent: November 4, 2003Inventor: William Gutierrez

Patent number: 4644221Abstract: A method of forming a variable sensitivity transmission mode negative eleon affinity (NEA) photocathode in which the sensitivity of the photocathode to white or monochromatic light can be varied by varying the backsurface recombination velocity of the photoemitting material with an electric field. The basic structure of the photocathode is comprised of a Group III-V element photoemitter on a larger bandgap Group III-V element window substrate.Type: GrantFiled: May 6, 1981Date of Patent: February 17, 1987Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the ArmyInventors: William A. Gutierrez, Herbert L. Wilson

Patent number: 4589192Abstract: A method of making infrared detectors on a substrate of mercury cadmium turide (HgCdTe) or mercury zinc telluride (HgZnTe). The steps include those of preparing the substrate, etching and passivating it, and placing it in the ultra-high vaccuum environment of a molecular beam epitaxy apparatus. While in the apparatus, one or more layers of zinc cadmium telluride (ZnCdTe) are deposited. When the ZnCdTe deposition is finished, the substrate is removed from the apparatus and the detectors are delineated lithographically.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 1984Date of Patent: May 20, 1986Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the ArmyInventors: John H. Dinan, William A. Gutierrez

Patent number: 4286373Abstract: A method of making transmission mode glass-sealed negative electron affinity (NEA) gallium arsenide (GaAs) photocathodes, utilizing germanium (Ge) as the seed crystal and multilayers of GaAs and gallium aluminum arsenide (GaAlAs) grown by metal alkyl-hydride vapor-phase epitaxy. The GaAs serves as the photoemitting layer and the GaAlAs serves as the passivating layer. The Ge, GaAs,GaAlAs combination is sealed to a glass support substrate which serves as the input window for the device. Finally, the Ge is removed and the GaAs is activated.Type: GrantFiled: January 8, 1980Date of Patent: September 1, 1981Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the ArmyInventors: William A.

Patent number: 4273596Abstract: An infrared (IR) detector device comprised of a solid state, radiation ha and high resolution monolithic IR focal plane array for imaging applications. The monolithic IR focal plane array has a heterostructure injection scheme that prevents charged-coupled device (CCD) "well filling" by using a heterojunction barrier between the absorber, or detector layer, and the transfer layer. Injection of signal charge into a CCD multiplexer is controlled by establishing a punch through condition between the absorber layer and the CCD channel. The detector layer and the CCD multiplexer are on different planes of the focal plane array.Type: GrantFiled: January 2, 1980Date of Patent: June 16, 1981Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the ArmyInventors: William A.
