The imaging center serves as a computed tomography colonography (CTC) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) screen and patient referral source to the endoscopy center. The defined workflow is a process for same-day patient flow generally comprising the steps of the imaging center submitting images for interpretation immediately after image acquisition, reporting the results to the patient, and when problems are detected, immediately directing and admitting the patient to the endoscopy center for same-day OC under an exclusive provider agreement. The foregoing system and workflow ensures optimal and customized use of technology for each patient, that is minimally invasive to patients, improves patient acceptance and satisfaction, avoids the need for an uncomfortable and inconvenient second colon prep, reduces overall healthcare costs, and results in higher community colorectal cancer screening rates. | 10-16-2008 |

20100072424 | LANTHANIDE METAL-ORGANIC FRAMEWORKS AND USES THEREOF - Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are crystalline porous materials that include metal ions linked together into periodic structures via organic ligands. MOFs that contain lanthanide ions are a new class of visible and near-IR luminescent materials, suitable for a broad range of applications. For example, the MOF framework afforded by 2,5-dimethoxy-1,4-phenylene)di-2,1-ethenediyl]bis-carboxylate is associated with unusually long luminescence lifetimes. Thus, a complex of this ligand with a lanthanide provides a sharp emission profile, coupled with a comparatively long signal lifetime, for an unusually high luminescence. More generally, lanthanide-MOF systems exhibit several advantages that are ideal for barcoded materials, due to the photophysical attributes of lanthanide cations and the well-defined organization of the MOF structure. | 03-25-2010 |

20100189618 | DYNAMIC CONTROL OF SELECTIVE NON-CATALYTIC REDUCTION SYSTEM FOR SEMI-BATCH-FED STOKER-BASED MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE COMBUSTION - The present invention controls reagent flow levels in a selective non-catalytic reduction (SNCR) system by more accurately predicting Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) production with a municipal waste combustor. In one embodiment, the reagent levels correspond with measured furnace temperatures. The reagent levels may have a baseline level from prior measured NOx that is then modified according to temperatures measurements. A slow controller may use NOx measurements over an extended period to define a base regent level, and a fast controller may use additional information such as the furnace temperature to modify the base regent level. The fast controller may further receive two additional signals that are added individually or together to maximize NOx control while minimizing ammonia slip from the reagent. The two signals are a feed-forward signal from the combustion controller and a feedback signal from an ammonia analyzer downstream of the combustion zone. | 07-29-2010 |

20150288512 | METHODS FOR CRYPTOGRAPHIC DELEGATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF DYNAMIC ACCESS TO STORED DATA - Efficient methods for assigning, revoking, and realizing access to stored data involve a cryptographic key hierarchy and a set of operations performed on cryptographic keys and performed on the data objects to be protected. In addition to providing confidentiality and integrity for data objects, the methods allow access to selected data objects to be permanently revoked for all entities without requiring all instances of the data objects to be destroyed or overwritten. The methods also support access right modifications for a data object without requiring the re-encryption of the entire data object; instead, certain keys are selectively re-encrypted and re-authenticated to implement access control changes. The key hierarchy is parameterized to enable flexible performance tuning, and to provide efficient random access, keying and other security operations are performed for individual blocks within a data object rather than only for the entire data object. | 10-08-2015 |
