Title: Combination level alarms and alarm persistence for patient monitoring
Inventor: MILLER JOHN A
IPC: A61G12/00
Filed: 2008-01-25
Abstract: Combination level alarms and alarm persistence for patient monitoring, as well as related methods and apparatus, are disclosed. For a combination level alarm, respective values for multiple physiological conditions are received. A  determination is made as to whether the received values satisfy respective alarm criteria for the physiological conditions, and if so, an alarm is raised. An alarm persistence feature involves periodically receiving values of a physiological condition, and determining whether the received values have satisfied an alarm criterion for at least a predetermined portion of a predetermined period of time. If so, an alarm is maintained. Combination alarms and alarm persistence may be implemented individually or together.

Title: A method and a tool for measuring the formation and effects of workplace friendships
Inventor: DOTAN HILLA
IPC: G06Q10/00
Filed: 2008-05-26
Abstract: A method and a tool to measure workplace friendship formation and its effects on individual and organizational job outcomes. The tool comprises one or more items that measure the formation of workplace friendships (1). Various items measure different or overlapping categories. The items are presented as a survey (45) that an individual or a plurality of individuals complete (46, 59). After the individual completes the survey, the scores on the items that measure each of the different categories of formation is aggregated (47) and divided by the number of items per category (48, 60). A total score is calculated per category allowing comparison of the scores on each of the various categories of workplace friendship formation (49). The category with the highest score is an individual's "relational tendency"  (51). After an individual identifies his/her workplace friendship formation and relational tendency, he/she may complete an additional survey on outcomes of interest (52, 61). After completing this survey and calculating the scores on the individual outcomes (53, 54), and/or organizational outcomes for a plurality of individuals (62,63) relevant statistical computations are to be performed (55, 64) to examine the relationship between workplace friendship formation and the outcomes of interest. This regression analysis or a statistically equivalent test leads to results (56, 65) that illustrate (through workplace friendship formation) how and why workplace friendships have the effects on the job outcomes of interest.

Title: Dual model approach for boiler section cleanliness calculation
Inventor: FRANCINO PETER N
IPC: F23J3/00
Filed: 2008-08-27
Abstract: A method of controlling soot blowers near a heat exchange section includes generating models of both the ideal clean operating condition of the section and the dirty operating condition. The current operating condition of the section is used to calculate a reliability parameter that provides an indication of the reliability of the ideal and dirty models. If the reliability parameter indicates that the models are reliable, the models are used to help evaluate the cleanliness status of a particular heat exchange section and assist in making decisions on whether to blow the section or not, and whether to make any necessary adjustments to the operating sequence of the soot blowers. If the reliability parameter indicates that the models are unreliable, the models are regenerated using additional process data.
