Abstract: A system according to certain aspects of the disclosure provides drug pricing information from multiple PBMs to users. For example, the system may obtain, calculate, and/or estimate drug prices that are available under contracts or agreements between PBMs and various pharmacies. These prices may be prices of drugs for purchase at the various pharmacies. In response to requests for prices of particular drugs, the system can display relevant prices. For example, the system displays a price for each pharmacy chain and/or displays prices for a particular geographical area. The users can compare the prices for a particular drug and determine which pharmacy they would like to purchase the drug from. The system can provide a discount coupon that allows the users to purchase the drug at the price listed by the system at the selected pharmacy.

Abstract: Systems, devices, user interfaces, and methods for managing patient conditions. A system for monitoring and/or managing a patient suffering from a brain condition may include a controller obtaining and/or storing data related to one or more monitored patient parameters contributing to the brain condition of the patient and displaying values of the one or more monitored patient parameters in trend lines over time on a user interface. The displayed trend lines may represent values of ventricular CSF volume, values of IVH volume, total ventricular volume in the brain, and/or values of other suitable parameters. The data related to the one or more monitored patient parameters may include images of the patient's brain and/or data derived from images of the patient's brain and/or suitable patient data.

Abstract: A streamline banking system includes a customer kiosk having a photographic element and a processor. The processor is programmed to capture an image with the photographic element and determine that the captured image comprises an image of a machine-readable code. The processor decodes the machine-readable code and extracts customer financial account data therefrom. The customer financial account data is associated with one or more financial institutions. The processor retrieves information associated with one or more financial product offerings offered by the financial institutions. Each of the financial institutions is presented to a customer along with the respective financial accounts and the respective financial product offerings. The customer selects one or more of the financial accounts and the financial product offerings. The customer kiosk then transmits to the customer service computing system the customer selection.

Abstract: A method for analyzing a sample collected from a surface, the method comprising placing at least a portion of a substrate having a pressure sensitive adhesive layer containing the sample in a holder, adding a spray solvent to the sample-containing pressure sensitive adhesive layer, and analyzing the sample contained in the pressure sensitive adhesive layer and the spray solvent using paper spray mass spectrometry.

Abstract: A system for reducing plasma instability is disclosed. The system includes: an outer electrode having a first end and a second end spaced from the first end; and an inner electrode disposed inside of a void defined within the outer electrode and arranged coaxial with the outer electrode.

Abstract: A tag enhances vehicle radar visibility of objects by increasing the effective radar cross-section of the object, allowing detection at longer ranges and providing the vehicle/driver with more time to avoid a collision. The tag may include a receive antenna and a bandpass filter configured to receive a signal from the receive antenna and to allow a portion of the frequency range of the signal from the receive antenna through. The tag may also include an amplifier configured to receive and amplify the signal with the portion of the frequency range from the bandpass filter. The tag may further include a transmit antenna configured to transmit the amplified signal. The receive antenna, the transmit antenna, and the amplifier may be configured such that antenna-to-antenna isolation between the receive antenna and the transmit antenna is greater than a gain of the amplifier.
