| 20110029327 | Medication Reconciliation System and Methods of Use - Computer-based systems and methods are disclosed for reconciling medications at long-term care facilities. An integrated system comprises a patient care management system and a communications network for accessing third-party computer systems. The patient care management system comprises an EMR system, a medication reconciliation system, a data entry device, and one or more databases adapted to receive and store multiple patient and medical data. A computer-enabled method comprises first providing a system adapted to reconcile medications. The medication reconciliation system typically includes a server, a computer database, a data entry device, and a display. Then, the computer-enabled method comprises collecting data for a medication from the data entry device into a new medication panel repository and creating a medication line item from the information in the new medication panel repository. The medication line item can then be adjudicated by selecting one of approving, modifying, and discontinuing the medication line item. | 02-03-2011 |

| 20090208106 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SEMANTICALLY CLASSIFYING SHOTS IN VIDEO - The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for classifying videos based on video content. For a given video file including a plurality of frames, a subset of frames is extracted for processing. Frames that are too dark, blurry, or otherwise poor classification candidates are discarded from the subset. Generally, material classification scores that describe type of material content likely included in each frame are calculated for the remaining frames in the subset. The material classification scores are used to generate material arrangement vectors that represent the spatial arrangement of material content in each frame. The material arrangement vectors are subsequently classified to generate a scene classification score vector for each frame. The scene classification results are averaged (or otherwise processed) across all frames in the subset to associate the video file with one or more predefined scene categories related to overall types of scene content of the video file. | 08-20-2009 |

| 20110215036 | PACKAGE-CULLING CONVEYOR SYSTEM AND METHOD - A package-culling conveyor system and a method for culling flat packages from a bulk flow of flat and non-flat packages. The conveyor system includes a tilted conveyor belt that conveys flat packages along its length while non-flat packages tumble off its lower side edge to initially cull flat packages from a bulk flow of packages. Retention means, such as a high-friction outer conveying surface or a raised barrier along the length of the outer conveying surface of the tilted conveyor belt, holds flat packages on the tilted conveyor belt. The initially separated packages are more fully culled in a conveyor comprising a roller conveyor belt with package-supporting belt rollers rotated in a direction to push packages sidewise toward a culling element that extends along the length of the roller conveyor belt. Examples of culling elements include powered rollers and vertical walls forming side guards. The powered roller lifts the contact side of non-flat packages to free flat packages underneath. The belt rollers push the flat packages under the culling elements and off the side of the roller belt. The culling elements block the non-flat packages from exiting laterally off the side of the roller belt so that they are conveyed off the exit end of the roller belt separate from the flat packages. | 09-08-2011 |

| 20100000247 | Solar-assisted climate control system - A method for providing climate control is disclosed herein. The method includes the step of circulating liquid desiccant in a first fluid circuit. The method also includes the step of disposing a dehumidifier along the first fluid circuit. The method also includes the step of disposing a regenerator along the first fluid circuit downstream of the dehumidifier. The method also includes the step of harnessing solar energy with at least one solar collector. The method also includes the step of circulating coolant in a second fluid circuit. The at least one solar collector and the regenerator are both disposed along the second fluid circuit whereby the coolant is heated during passage adjacent to the at least one solar collector and transfers thermal energy to the liquid desiccant during passage through the regenerator. The first and second fluid circuits are in parallel in the regenerator. | 01-07-2010 |
