Abstract: A pharmacy kit is managed by defining multiple rules for determining whether a segment of a pharmacy kit is satisfactorily stocked, selecting at least one rule among the multiple rules according to a kit stocking contingency, an prompting a user to stock the segment of the pharmacy kit according to the selected at least one rule.

Abstract: Methods and systems relate to providing varying levels of detail about a pharmacy item to a patient information system based on the capabilities of the patient information system. An intercept device can receive an identifier associated with a pharmacy item based on a scanner reading a computer-readable code. The intercept device can recognize or determine the storage capabilities or limitations of the patient information system, for example by determining various medication data fields that the patient information system uses to store pharmacy item information. The intercept device can use the machine readable code to obtain pharmacy item information that is compatible with the patient information system based on those storage capabilities or limitations and can distribute that pharmacy item information to the patient information system.

Abstract: A system and method is described for printing a label with an RFID tag. The system includes an RFID reader that queries a first RFID tag coupled to a first medicinal container that includes a medication. In response, the system receives a first unique identifier and uses the first unique identifier to determine a status of the medication, associate the first medicinal container with a medical provider and print a second label that includes a second RFID tag for a second medicinal container.

Abstract: An evaporator is provided for evaporating water from an ambient body of water having a water surface. The evaporator includes a housing that has a proximal end proximate to the water surface, a distal end distal to the water surface, and a housing air flow channel directed toward the water surface. The housing is disposed on a support, such as a float assembly, that positions the housing above the water surface. The evaporator also includes an air flow induction device, preferably an impeller, disposed to direct an air flow stream from the distal end toward the proximal end through the housing air flow channel and toward the water surface so that the air contacts the water. The impeller preferably is made of a fiberglass material. The support preferably includes at least one float assembly air flow channel that receives the air flow stream from the housing and directs it outwardly from the evaporator.

Abstract: A polyester film comprising a polymeric phosphonate flame retardant in an amount of from about 1.0 to about 25.0 wt % by total weight of the film and further comprising at least one metal cation selected from the group consisting of Group I and Group II metal cations.

Abstract: A system for managing pharmacy kits comprises a reading station configured to read tag information from a plurality of radio frequency identification (RFID) tags associated with a pharmacy kit, and an information processing system operatively connected to the reading station and configured to receive the tag information from the reading station and determine a status of the pharmacy kit based on the tag information, a plurality of stored templates defining contents to be included in each of a plurality of pharmacy kits, and a plurality of kit records indicating the current contents of a plurality of pharmacy kits.

Abstract: A chatbot system is disclosed that enables users to apply for opportunities (e.g., employment opportunities, educational opportunities, lending opportunities) via a chat interface. For example, a chatbot hosted by the chatbot system can receive a natural language request from a user and determine that the intent of the user message is to submit an application related to opportunity. In response, the chatbot may collect applicant information from various sources (e.g., user documents, social media accounts, user messages) to apply for the opportunity on behalf of the user. The disclosed chatbot system enhances user experience by enabling the application process to proceed via natural language messages and prompts, reducing the amount of applicant information that is provided directly by the user, reducing the number of mistakes in the application process, and maximizing the benefit to the user by enabling the application to multiple or different opportunities with minimal additional effort.

Abstract: The present disclosure includes a system for processing waste from a chemical vapor deposition process. The system can include an inlet configured to be connected to one or more chemical vapor deposition systems, the inlet configured for receiving an effluent comprising one or more waste gases, a vacuum component in fluid communication with the inlet, the vacuum component configured for maintaining a vacuum of about 0.5 Torr to about 3.5 Torr and actuatable for removing the one or more waste gases from the one or more chemical vapor deposition systems, and a fluid line fluidly connecting the inlet to the vacuum component; and a controller in communication with the vacuum component.

Abstract: A bag handling system for a mass transit environment is disclosed. The bag handling system includes a first set of autonomous automated guided vehicles and a second set of autonomous automated guided vehicles. The first and second sets of autonomous automated guided vehicles are configured to transport bags through one or more bag processing areas.

Abstract: The invention features surfaces formed from a base polymer admixed with an additive of the invention. The surfaces can be resistant to bacterial adhesion. The surfaces of the invention can be applied to: (a) any medical device or material that is implanted in or juxtaposed to a human or animal tissue or body fluid, in vivo or ex vivo, permanently or for a short period, and (b) any useful article, material or device, medical or not, which is to maintain a human or animal health-safe unfouled state of cleanliness over a period of time. In these medical and non-medical applications it is known that undesirable fouling phenomenon can take place which might harm a patient, user or consumer of the compromised device, equipment or material processed by, transported or stored in contamination prone articles, equipment or environments. Such fouling phenomena include biofilm development and bacterial colony development.

Abstract: A stove controller starts an unattended timer when a cooking process is started. The controller monitors whether motion is detected in the kitchen prior to the unattended timer expiring and resets the unattended timer each time motion is detected. If the unattended timer expires without any motion being detected, the controller disables the heating elements of the stove and starts a return timer. The controller monitors whether motion is detected in the kitchen prior to the return timer expiring. When motion is detected, the controller automatically re-enables the heating elements of the stove so that cooking can continue. If motion is not detected and the return timer expires, the controller locks the stove until a reset procedure is performed. Alerts of the stove activity are sent to external devices over the Internet, and the reset procedure may be performed on the controller or on one of the external devices.
