Title: Method and apparatus for accurate and secure product dispensing
Inventor: RUBINSTEIN MARSHAL SAUL
IPC: G16H20/13
Filed: 2011-01-04
Abstract: A system and apparatus (200) relates to a system and apparatus for accurate and secure dispensing of products using an automated dispensing machine, and transmission, processing and analysis of data concerning items dispensed. In one embodiment the system provides the possibility of combined pharmaceutical supply chain management and medication treatment compliance management. More particularly, in one embodiment the present invention may be applied to controlled dispensing of medications, automated replenishment of medications, managing correct dosage and time intervals for patient prescriptions, enabling incentives to encourage higher patient treatment compliance, recording and processing of patient and health care data relating to consumption of medication and related information such as safety, efficacy, patient attitudes and behaviour. The embodiment features a plurality of product dispensing mechanisms (210) referred to as the "Hold/Release" mechanism which has the benefits of high reliability, long service life and low probability of malfunction, and features an integrated RFID antenna (240), which is utilised to ensure the correct product is loaded into the dispenser, resulting in high accuracy of dispensing and inventory management benefits. Dispensing of products only occurs once a set of conditions is satisfied, for example a code corresponding to an electronically entered prescription is entered into a keypad, or an RFID Tagged prescription document is presented to an RFID reader antenna connected to System 200. A Patient ID tag, Healthcare workers ID Tag or other RFID Tagged items can be placed on an RFID antenna connected to System 200 in order to trigger a "transaction". The details are sent to a central server for processing. This process allows for automatic replenishment of medications to the RFID equipped medication storage enclosure at the healthcare site. It also allows for complete logging of data relating to which patient has received the correct dosage at what time, by whom this medication was administered, and correlation with other possible RFID tagged documents.

Title: Determining the physical destination of a network link by identifying a port of a network node connected to the link
Inventor: MOFFATT EDWIN PETER JOHN
IPC: H04L12/26
Filed: 2012-08-02
Abstract: A system for use in a computer network for identifying the physical destination of a network link from the source of the link using an identifier transmitted between a source node and a destination node of the link. A network port on the source node is identified 302 and a communications protocol packet 303 comprising a physical port discovery (PPD) identifier 304 is sent via the identified port 305. The destination node inspects received packets for a PPD identifier 402 and, if present, outputs an indication that the identifier has been received including an identification of the port via which it was received 404. The indication may comprise a visual or audible signal. The PPD identifier may be formed using a protocol type (PTYPE) value carried in an Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) packet (see figure 2). The invention determines the destination of a network cable without having to physically trace the cable.

Title: Method and server device for exchanging information items with a plurality of client entities
Inventor: RUELLAN HERV
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2013-07-26
Abstract: The invention concerns a method of exchanging information items, e.g. HTTP headers, between a server device and a plurality of clients. The server device establishes connections with clients, wherein each connection uses a server-initiated indexing table to encode information items to be sent over the connection in the server-to-client direction. The same single indexing table is used for plural connections. In response to receiving a request for data from a client, entries of the table are pushed to the client to configure the latter for item exchange in the server-to-client direction. Information items associated with the requested data are encoded (compressed) using item indexing based on the table and sent to the client over the connection established with it. The use of a single indexing table for a group of clients decreases memory use.
