Title: System and method for electronic visitation registration
Inventor: KEISER LUKE
IPC: G07C9/00
Filed: 2007-06-29
Abstract: Disclosed is an electronic visitation registration (EVR) system for registering visitors to visit with residents of a controlled-environment facility, such as a correctional facility. In certain embodiments, EVR is operable to interact with visitors and determine whether to authorize a requested visitation session with a resident of the controlled--environment facility. Thus, in certain embodiments, the EVR can autonomously interact with a visitor and perform the registration process for such visitor, thereby alleviating the requirement of involvement by a facility employee for such registration. The EVR may be accessible local to the controlled-environment facility (e.g., as a kiosk), and/or it may be accessible via a communication network, such as the Internet. Thus, the EVR  may allow a remote user to schedule and register for a future visit. Additionally, other services, such as funding an account or contacting a third party, may be available through the EVR.

Patent CA-2617232-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BOWERS KYLE
IPC: A61N1/39
Filed: 2005-07-29
Abstract: Medical apparatus for detecting the presence of artifact signals generated in the electrocardiogram of a patient by CPR and/or other patient motion. The presence of artifact signals is determined by analyzing variations in a measured electrical signal that represents the patient's transthoracic impedance. Such detection is important because the presence of CPR and/or motion artifacts can disrupt a patient's electrocardiogram (ECG) signal. The patient's impedance signal data is stored in the apparatus and analyzed to determine if the characteristics are indicative of the presence of CPR and/or motion artifacts. This analysis is performed independently of ECG data and may be used as an indicator of the underlying ECG rhythm classification. In essence, if the impedance exceeds some threshold amount, so as to indicate the presence of CPR or patient motion which can render the ECG data unreliable, the normal interpretation of the ECG data is interrupted. Applications of the invention include, but are not limited to, advising or not advising, defibrillation therapy, CPR or intravenous medicinal therapy.

Abstract: A golf type game for playing at a driving range, or other golf practice facility is provided consisting of a series of cards that simulate a series of golf holes.  The cards are placed and moved within a handbook that has an opaque cover with a slot so that the player can determine his own position and make his own strategy decisions to determine his desired target and/or target line. Once closed, the handbook cover has grid markings that correspond to grid markings on the driving range so that a shot outcome can be transferred to said card. The player then plays a shot directly towards a target, and observes the shot outcome. A series of holes are provided on said cover through which the player can mark the shot outcome on the card, prior to opening the handbook. By being opaque, however, the player marks the card in an unbiased fashion. As a result of using the player's own strategy, moving the card to provide a consistent driving range target, and having an unbiased marking of the shot outcome on the card, a more realistic simulation of a golf game results.
