20100096330 | Method of Determining A Phosphorus Binder Dosage for a Dialysis Patient - The invention is directed to a method of determining a dosage of phosphorus binder for a patient undergoing dialysis treatment to achieve a pre-dialysis serum phosphorus concentration within a desired concentration range while achieving a desired net accumulation of calcium. The method includes determining the dosage of phosphorus binder that will achieve pre-dialysis serum phosphorus concentration of the patient that is within the desired concentration range while accounting for the change in the amount of phosphorus removed by the dialysis treatment when the pre-dialysis serum phosphorus concentration of the patient is within the desired concentration range, determining a dialysate calcium concentration that will result in the desired net accumulation of calcium over a complete dialysis cycle, and dialyzing the patient with a dialysate containing a calcium concentration based upon that determination. | 04-22-2010 |
20100114012 | Portable Peritoneal Dialysis System - A portable peritoneal dialysis system for a patient includes an inlet port for providing inflow to the patient's peritoneal cavity, an outlet port for providing outflow from the patient's peritoneal cavity, and a volume of dialysate for flow into and out of the patient's peritoneal cavity, thereby removing from the dialysate uremic waste metabolites that have diffused into the dialysate. The portable peritoneal dialysis system also includes a closed liquid flow loop, including a pump, for flowing the dialysate into and out of the patient's peritoneal cavity, and an organic- and phosphate-removing stage, including at least one replaceable cartridge in the closed liquid flow loop, the cartridge containing material for removing organic compounds and phosphate from dialysate removed from the patient's peritoneal cavity. The portable peritoneal dialysis system further includes a urea- and ammonia-removing stage, including at least one replaceable cartridge in the closed liquid flow loop, the cartridge containing material for removing urea and ammonia from dialysate removed from the patient's peritoneal cavity, the material being packed around semi-permeable hollow fibers with interior fiber walls that reject cations, thereby retaining cations in the dialysate. | 05-06-2010 |
20110060273 | PERITONEAL DIALYSIS SYSTEM - A dialysate regeneration system for removing contaminants from spent dialysate according to this invention includes a dialysate circulation flow path including a pump that pumps spent dialysate through the dialysate circulation flow path, a first cartridge adapted to remove contaminants from the spent dialysate, including a first cleaning solution inlet and a first cleaning solution outlet, a second cartridge adapted to remove urea from the spent dialysate, the second cartridge including semi-permeable hollow fibers adapted for transport of urea across the walls of the semi-permeable hollow fibers and adapted to retain at least calcium, magnesium, and sodium ions in the spent dialysate, and including a second cleaning solution inlet and a second cleaning solution outlet. Ancillary to the two cartridges, the dialysate regeneration system further includes a first dialysate cleaning flow path including a pump that pumps first cleaning solution from the first cleaning solution outlet of the first cartridge through a first cleaning stage to the first cleaning solution inlet of the first cartridge, and a second dialysate cleaning flow path including a pump that pumps second cleaning solution from the second cleaning solution outlet of the second cartridge through a second cleaning stage to the second cleaning solution inlet of the second cartridge. | 03-10-2011 |

20130086479 | GENERATING STATE-DRIVEN ROLE-BASED LANDING PAGES - A method, computer system, and computer program product for generating state-driven role-based landing pages. An enterprise application user in a secure enterprise application environment provides user-specified content relevant to the user's role in the enterprise, and when the user invokes an enterprise application, initial screens displayed by the enterprise application are displayed as landing pages using the user-specified content. The method commences by validating an enterprise application user using a user profile and a security model where the security model serves to distinguish permitted or allowed enterprise application user activities from denied enterprise application activities. Once validated, then the method identifies a user's role or roles, and further, identifies the user's selection of subscriptions (e.g., subscriptions pertaining to content related to the user's role). Given the user role and the user's selection of subscriptions, systems keep track of user states to use when populating landing pages with subscription content. | 04-04-2013 |

20090287861 | PROTECTING COMPUTER MEMORY FROM SIMULTANEOUS DIRECT MEMORY ACCESS OPERATIONS USING ACTIVE AND INACTIVE TRANSLATION TABLES - A method, apparatus, and program product access memory resources of a computer using a group of direct access memory (DMA) devices. A first DMA device is designated a primary device after association with an active translation table (ATT), while a second DMA device is designated a backup device after association with an inactive translation table (ITT). A translation is entered into the ATT for the first DMA device to permit it to perform a DMA operation, while a translation is inhibited from being entered into the ITT for a second DMA device to prevent it from performing a DMA operation. Thereafter, the roles of the first and second DMA devices may be swapped by associating the first DMA device with the ITT and associating the second DMA device with the ATT. The computer may be a logically partitioned computer of the type that includes a plurality of logical partitions. | 11-19-2009 |

20080270692 | Enabling and disabling cache in storage systems - Embodiments include methods, apparatus, and systems for enabling and disabling cache in storage systems. One embodiment includes a method that changes a time period for delaying host requests received at a cache of a storage device and converts the storage device from a cache enabled state to a cache disabled state while the storage device is online. | 10-30-2008 |
20090193195 | CACHE THAT STORES DATA ITEMS ASSOCIATED WITH STICKY INDICATORS - Data items are stored in a cache of the storage system, where the data items are for a snapshot volume. Sticky indicators are associated with the data items in the cache, where the sticky indicators delay removal of corresponding data items from the cache. Data items of the cache are sacrificed according to a replacement algorithm that takes into account the sticky indicators associated with the data items. | 07-30-2009 |

20100198661 | SUPPLIER PORTFOLIO INDEXING - Supply chain management using a supplier portfolio index (SPI) is disclosed. A single risk and performance metric for a supplier can be used across portfolios at both the business unit and enterprise level. The SPI can be produced by stratifying suppliers to obtain a plurality of risk element scores, which in turn are used to obtain a composite supplier risk index. A supplier performance scorecard metric can also be determined by combining a plurality of individual performance metrics. The composite supplier risk index, the supplier performance scorecard metric, and an indication of supplier manager certification can be aggregated to produce SPI. Percentage weights can be applied to the composite supplier risk index, the supplier performance scorecard metric, and the indication of supplier manager certification status so that the SPI is indicated on a 100-point scale. | 08-05-2010 |
