20130080184 | MANAGING HEALTHCARE INFORMATION FOR MEMBERS OF A SOCIAL NETWORK - Embodiments are directed to a healthcare information system (HIS) for supplying patients, caregivers, and their families with the tools and data-driven intelligence needed to achieve greater visibility, management, and control over their loved ones' care. The HIS may enable members to exchange requests for healthcare information between other members. A requesting member may generate a request and forward to other members that may be in a social network. Members that receive the request may subsequently forward the request to still other members. Forwarding requests may improve the chance of finding resolutions. The HIS may track which members received the request and what actions they took. This tracked information is used to generate reports for visualizing how a request flowed through the member community. The tracked information may be analyzed to determine interactions between members and/or social networks. | 03-28-2013 |

20090301940 | Apparatus and Method for Grading and Batching of Articles - An apparatus for grading and batching of articles is proposed. The apparatus consists of an in-feed station for grading of the articles into multiple “quality classes”. The articles of each of the classes are weighted by one of multiple weighing means provided. The ability to attach multiple electronic tags or labels to each of the articles makes it possible to keep track of each of the articles and allocate them according to class and weight tags into the correct batching buffer. A vertically oriented carousel conveyor transfers the articles from the weighing means using plurality of transport buckets which are suspended from the carousel support means using pivoting mechanism such that the transport buckets maintain substantially the same position as they are transported by the carousel to batching buffers located inside the carousel. When there is a complete batch in the batching buffer the batch is transported to a collection buffer via batch transport buffer formed by a group of adjacent transport buckets on the carousel conveyor as they travel towards the in-feed station. Thus the transport buckets are used twice: First, to transport individual articles to the batching buffers and the second time, to transport an entire batch to the collecting buffer. A computer system is used to control: the conveying means, the transport buckets, the batching buffer, the batch transfer buffer, the collecting buffer, and to keep track of the different electronic tags. | 12-10-2009 |

20130312000 | ORCHESTRATING COMPETING ACTIVITIES FOR SCHEDULING ACTIONS OF MULTIPLE NODES IN A DISTRIBUTED ENVIRONMENT - Automatic programming, scheduling, and control of planned activities at “worker nodes” in a distributed environment are provided by a “real-time self tuner” (RTST). The RTST provides self-tuning of controlled interoperation among an interconnected set of distributed components (i.e., worker nodes) including, for example, home appliances, security systems, lighting, sensor networks, medical electronic devices, wearable computers, robotics, industrial controls, wireless communication systems, audio nets, distributed computers, toys, games, etc. The RTST acts as a centralized “planner” that is either one of the nodes or a dedicated computing device. A set of protocols allow applications to communicate with the nodes, and allow one or more nodes to communicate with each other. Self-tuning of the interoperation and scheduling of tasks to be performed at each node uses an on-line sampling driven statistical model and predefined node “behavior patterns” to predict and manage resource requirements needed by each node for completing assigned tasks. | 11-21-2013 |
