20080281635METHOD OF ADMINISTERING A BENEFICIARY MEDICAL PROCEDURE - A beneficiary medical procedure administration process is disclosed. The process includes entering a test administrator identity into a testing device. The testing device is also configured to take a biometric sample of the test administrator. A biometric sample may also be taken of the beneficiary. Such a scenario contemplates that the beneficiary may conduct the procedure without the presence of the test administrator during the entire procedure.11-13-2008
20100066494Test Authorization System - A method of identifying a test-taker is disclosed. The method includes the step of sampling a biometric characteristic of the test-taker, and may include the step of sampling a second biometric characteristic of the test-taker. The method may include the step of identifying the test administrator by sampling a biometric characteristic of the test administrator. A method of authorizing the administration of a test is also disclosed.03-18-2010
20100079242Patient Identification System - A patient identification device is disclosed. The device includes a first sensor, a second sensor, and a processor. The first sensor may be configured to be positioned on the patient's finger. The device may include a camera. The device may include an identifier. The identifier displays a randomly generated alphanumeric code for further identification of the patient.04-01-2010

20110060398ENDOPROSTHESIS WITH FILAMENT REPOSITIONING OR RETRIEVAL MEMBER AND GUARD STRUCTURE - An endoprosthesis includes a stent structure having an elongate member longitudinal portions of which overlap to define the crossover structures. The stent structure may also include loop structures, which are contiguous with the crossover structures, through which a filament extends. A guard structure is secured to the stent structure and located adjacent to the crossover structures to obstruct displacement of the filament between the longitudinal portions of the elongate member of the crossover structures. A method for operating the endoprosthesis includes displacing the loop structures toward one another along the filament to displaced positions relative to the suture structure for reducing the respective profiles of the stent structure and patch structure.03-10-2011

20090278707WEAR MONITOR FOR RECREATIONAL FOOTGEAR - A wear monitor for footgear can indicate when a shoe or component may have exceeded its expected useful life. The indication can be triggered by a measure of use, such as steps taken or distance accrued in the shoes, either through estimation or actual measurements. The monitor can take into account varies parameters related to the individual wearer of the shoe and environmental factors to more accurately determine when a pair of shoes has reached a wear out period. By employing sensors, the monitor can also be measure certain operating parameters of the shoe, such as the loss of a critical amount of resilience, and indicating to the wearer that the shoes are no longer adequate to protect the wearer from injury. The wear monitor can be fabricated into the shoe during manufacturing or can be a portable stand-alone device and can employ various technologies to provide a status indication to the wearer.11-12-2009

20100131642SYSTEM FOR MONITORING THE USE OF CONTENT IN A VEHICLE - A content monitoring system having a vehicle content module for monitoring the use of a content player in a vehicle. The vehicle module includes an interface to a data communications network of the vehicle and a data collector for monitoring data on the data communications network to access in real time player data representing use of the player. The content can include self-loaded content, such as that of a CD, DVD, an ipod, and an mp3 file and broadcast content, such as that of an FM radio broadcast. The content monitoring system also includes a transmission module for transmitting the player data from the vehicle and a server system including an analysis module for receiving and processing the player data from the data collector to generate content usage report data, e.g. representing an audience or ratings survey.05-27-2010
