Abstract: A method for transmission of appointment data includes receiving an available appointment at a server sent from a medical provider over a communications network. The server includes a processor and a memory that stores patient data and medical provider data. The processor is configured to prioritize a list of waiting patients for the available appointment based upon a priority value determined from the patient data and the medical provider data, identify a compatible patient for the available appointment based upon a highest priority on the list of waiting patients, generate an appointment alert that contains a date and time for the available appointment, format the appointment alert according to an appointment format, and transmit the formatted appointment alert over a wireless communication channel to a wireless device associated with the compatible patient based upon a destination address associated therewith.

Abstract: An aspirated-type detector includes a housing with an internal ambient condition sensing region and a sensor carried therein. The housing is perforated with ambient atmosphere inflow ports. A fan or similar device lowers the pressure in the internal region thereby producing a positive inflow of adjacent, external ambient atmosphere into the sensing region. Alternatively, the fan can be operated to inject exterior ambient atmosphere into the sensing chamber under positive pressure. The fan can also be modularized. The detector can incorporate control circuitry for supervisory or signal processing purposes.
