Granted: 2015-12-15
Abstract: A system and method for communicating and validating patient information including medication delivery information in a care-giving facility is provided. A medical transaction carrier is used to communicate information regarding medication delivery and other patient information between a control system in communication with the care-giving facility's other information systems and a patient specific asset such as an infusion pump. All information carried by the medical transaction carrier is validated both at the patient specific asset and at the control system. This validation allows for positive control of all transactions even if a medical transaction carrier is lost. The medical transaction carrier may be a smartcard, a PDA such as a PalmTM Pilot, laptop computer, pager, mobile phone, or other device capable of storing and communicating information. The system may use either wired or wireless connections to communicate information between the components of the system.

Granted: 2009-11-17
Abstract: L'invention concerne une installation de combustion catalytique de gaz destinée à un appareil d'usage personnel, notamment un appareil de mise en forme des cheveux tel un bâton friseur (1) ou un sèche-cheveux. Cette installation comprend un dispositif d'entrée de gaz (12) et un catalyseur (5) relié à ce dispositif d'entrée de gaz. Un dispositif d'allumage (38, 39), commandé par un système d'allumage, permet d'allumer le mélange air-gaz et ainsi d'initier une combustion catalytique dans le catalyseur (5). Selon l'invention, le dispositif d'entrée de gaz (12) présente une dérivation (40) permettant de dériver un flux partiel de gaz qui afflue sur le dispositif d'allumage (38, 39). Cela permet d'actionner le système d'allumage, juste après ouverture du système de vannes à gaz, le catalyseur pouvant être amené à sa température de fonctionnement par explosion du mélange air-gaz. L'invention permet de bénéficier non seulement de temps d'attente courts avant le démarrage du catalyseur (5) mais aussi d'une installation de combustion catalytique de gaz de fonctionnement et de réaction plus rapides.

Granted: 2010-10-12
Abstract: A method and apparatus for extracting structured data from HTML pages whereby an HTML file belonging to a pre-determined class of HTML files can be transformed into an instance tree (142). Other than the HTML file, there are two other inputs to the extraction procedure: a set of constraints (134), and a structure template (140). The steps in the process include: parsing the HTML  file, thereby creating a parse tree (126); annotating the parse tree, thereby creating an annotated parse tree (130); creating an array of nodes from the annotated parse tree using a set of constraints (134); and generating an instance tree (142) from the array of nodes using the structure template (140). The instance tree (142) encodes, in a form that may be used by other computer programs, all the relevant information in the HTML file as prescribed by the set of constraints (134) and makes explicit the structure of this information.

Abstract: A method for predicting the secondary porosity system (SPS) porosity, and thereby permeability, of a coal bed involves determining an initial condition in the coal bed, including an initial SPS pressure and an initial sorbed gas composition, determining a pressure strain effect due to increasing the SPS pressure to a value greater than the initial SPS pressure, and determining a sorption strain effect due to changes in the sorbed gas composition resulting from decreasing the methane content and increasing the content of a stronger adsorbing fluid (SAG) relative to the initial sorbed gas composition. Preferably, the method uses data from test injections of water and/or a weaker adsorbing fluid (WAG) and a SAG. The data is used in the inventors' model to compute a SPS porosity and an absolute permeability at a reference SPS pressure and a reference sorbed gas composition. Preferably, the reference pressure is atmospheric pressure. The inventors' model accounts for both dynamic pressure strain and dynamic multicomponent sorption strain effects. As a result, a calibrated model can be produced for the coal bed for predicting the coal bed's SPS porosity, and thereby permeability, as a function of a pre-selected injection or production fluid's composition and/or SPS pressure conditions.

Abstract: The invention relates to a balloon-button system or a catheter for performin g percutaneous enteral feeding, comprising a holding part (2), which can be placed on the abdominal wall, and a probe tube (3), which extends from the holding part (2) while being connected thereto and via which the nourishment that is inserted through a connecting part (4) situated in the holding part (2) can be introduced into the stomach lumen. The probe tube (3) forms, in t he distal area thereof, an inner tube (8) and an outer tube (6) that surrounds the same. The outer tube (6) is formed by turning the inner tube (8) inside out at the distal end (10) of the latter and by pulling it back, and is joined, at its proximal end (12), to the inner tube (3) in a fluid-tight manner. The outer tube can be expanded to form a balloon (7) by introducing water or the like via a supply line (16), which extends from the holding par t (2) and which discharges between the outer tube (6) and the inner tube (3). This system is characterized in that the probe tube (3) surrounds a protecti ve tube (5), and the protective tube (5) has a higher Shore A hardness than the probe tube (3). This results in providing the material that forms the balloo n with a sufficiently high degree of flexibility. In addition, the protective tube (5) renders the system sufficiently sturdy.
