Title: Computerized risk management module for medical diagnosis
Inventor: HILGART ROBERT A
IPC: G16H10/60
Filed: 2001-10-31
Abstract: Apparatus (10) is provided including an input device, a medical risk database (14), a data processor (16), and a communication device (12). Data entered in the input device, usually by a health care professional, defines a patient data record (22). The medical risk database (14) associates certain patient data entered into the data record (22), which increases the risk of a missed medical care opportunity, with additional medical care to address the risk.  The communication device (12) responds to the identification of patient data presenting a medical risk by communicating to a health care professional additional medical care selected to identify and take advantage of a medical care opportunity. Templates are also disclosed having "red light green light"  indicators that indicate red to prompt consideration of a system and green to indicate it has been considered. A triage template and key information to provide additional information to the diagnosing or treating professional are also provided.

Abstract: A method for the deposition of a thin film of a pre-determined composition e.g. a phosphor, onto a substrate, in which the composition is a ternary, quaternary or higher composition, especially a composition selected from the group consisting of thioaluminates, thiogallates and thioindates of at least one element from Groups IIA and IIB of the Periodic Table. In the embodiment, the method comprises placing a pellet of at least one sulphide on a first source and placing a pellet of at least one sulphide on a second source, with one pellet containing dopant. Vapour deposition onto the substrate is effected with separate electron beams. The rate of vaporizing of the sulphides is monitored with separate shielded coating rate monitors. The temperature of the sources is controlled to obtain the composition on the substrate. The method is particularly used for deposition of ternary or quaternary phosphors on substantially opaque substrates in electroluminescent devices.

Abstract: A dough sheet for producing thin, baked chips is obtained continuously by compressing a dough sheet to a thickness of less than or equal to about 0.035 inch between counter-rotating gauge rolls while maintaining the surface of each gauge roll at a temperature of about 85°F to about 95°F. Maintaining the gauge roll surface temperature at about 85°F to about 95°F avoids sticking, tearing, and shredding of the thin dough sheet as it is compressed and transferred by the gauge rolls, even at high production rates or line speeds. A rotary cutter is employed to obtain thin, irregularly shaped, scallop-edged snacks in a variety of shapes from a single dough sheet without producing dough scraps between the pieces.

Abstract: The invention relates to a moulded body (1) for improving cultivation conditions for plants, which is suitable inter alia for arrangement in a pla nt holder (3). Said moulded body has a tapered projection (15), especially in t he form of a cone or a truncated cone which is open at the top. Said moulded bo dy is arranged in such a way that the projection protrudes into the plant substrate (60) in the plant holder (3), especially from the floor or the surface. Said projection (15) has means (holes (35; 54); highly porous material) allowing an exchange of substances, especially an exchange of wate r and/or air, between the interior and the surroundings of the projection. Thi s allows the targeted introduction of air, water, nutrients and auxiliary substances into the plant substrate and especially, into the root conglomerates (61). The moulded body for inserting from below has a recess which is opposite the projection and which acts as a water reservoir that is separate from the plant substrate. The moulded body for inserting from above is water-permeable in the upper part (55), i.e. the foot of the projection a nd essentially impermeable to water at the bottom (53), in the tip of the projection. Liquid is preferably transported from the bottom part (53) into the top part (55) by capillary forces.

Abstract: For manufacturing security documents, a plurality of security documents are printed on a sheet. The sheets are being processed in batches (15a, 15b). Each sheet carries a unique, machine readable identifier. During manufacturing, the batches are processed by several printing stations (10). At each printing station, the identifiers are read by a local computer (13) attributed to the printing station. The results are transferred upon request in data packets to a central data base (16). Each data packet contains the information for several sheets, which obviates the need to transfer the corresponding data in real time over the network. To increase security and decrease network dependence, each local computer is equipped with the means to check the processing status of a batch autonomously.
