Abstract: A decision support system for the selection of a diagnostic or therapeutic test or intervention, herein called studies, is supported by identifying a relative number of cases in which significant results were obtained in studies having the same indications. In particular, an ordering physician requests a study for a patient and specifies indications for the study, such as symptoms and a potential diagnosis. The number of studies performed, including those on other patients, for which results were significant for the same indications out of the total number of studies performed for the same indications is provided as feedback to the ordering physician. This feedback relates actual patient results to the appropriateness of the study. A decision support system in a health care information management system receives, from an ordering physician, an order for a study to be performed on a specified patient and indications for the study. The received indications for the selected study are used to access a database of result codes for previous studies having the same indications, including studies performed on other patients. A result of the comparison of the selected study and specified indications to the result codes database is then sent to the ordering physician. Decision support may be enhanced by using data extracted from existing scientific literature. In one embodiment, the decision support system is part of a health care management system that supports structured order entry for use by the ordering physician and a structured data entry module for entering result codes into the database.

Inventor: BHANDARKAR SUHAS DATTATREYA
IPC: C03B37/016
Filed: 1999-07-12
Abstract: A silica body useful for forming an optical fiber preform exhibits
an ultimate strength of at least 20 MPa at 10 wt.% water loss. The body
attains this strength, it is believed, by precipitation of silica at the
contact sites of adjacent silica particles, thereby forming neck regions.
The resultant network provides the strength to the gel body, such that
the body is capable of being dried under more severe conditions than a
gel body formed by previous sol-gel methods and is also more robust
toward handling. The controlled precipitation is attained by inducing
gelation and initiating drying at a pH of about 10.5 or higher, at which
silica remains highly soluble. By gelling and drying at this pH level, the
solubilized silica appears to precipitate in a controlled manner at the
point of contact of adjacent silica particles, since such sites are the
minimum free energy sites for precipitation.

Abstract: It is a transmitter of brief data by radio waves, connected to
a sensor located in the tank, reservoir or deposit that allows the
user to know the level of liquid or gas in these tanks. It transmits
the information to its corresponding receiver through a
determined channel (fig.4), which allows the use of other systems
in the same place. It is powered by a battery (fig.2) so that the
transmitter can reduce its electric consumption. It only effectuates
the transmission when necessary (fig.2) and periodically (fig.3) to
prevent a loss of synchronisation with the receiver. The durability
and reliability of the system is thus increased. The receiver is
connected to a source of electric current (fig. 14), displaying the
information in a simple and convenient way from the user's own
home (fig 13-1) and at a distance that is adequate to the
necessities of the installation. Its simplicity of installation, use and
maintenance make this tool a product of low consumption and
fabrication costs.

Abstract: The invention concerns a new method of controlling the movements of a
multi-actuator electromechanical system which has a matrix of locally
interconnected analog cells associated therewith. Each cell represents a
hardware implementation of a model of fuzzy inference rules. The model
is constructed as a fuzzy circuit architecture which is implemented,
preferably, in the form of an integrated circuit with VLSI CMOS
technology which generates and controls the reaction diffusion
mechanism typical of auto-waves by means of a fuzzy neural network. 
     This fuzzy neural network defines the functional relationships which
can duplicate simultaneous reaction diffusion equations, and the
duplication of such simultaneous equations is provided by two sets of
fuzzy rules processing, in a linguistic manner, the state variables of the
cell plurality and imposing on each cell a dynamics of the oscillatory
type wherein two dynamic processes having different kynetic
characteristics coexist.
