20080235050Tricare payment process - An apparatus, a system, and a method are provided to pay a dispensing fee to a pharmacy and configured to replenish a pharmacy's inventory with prescription drugs by a wholesaler at no cost. Rather than being replenished for any prescription drug dispensed to a patient, a pharmacy would be paid a dispensing fee. To compensate for the wholesaler for replenishing the pharmacy at no cost, the wholesaler would receive an administrative fee. Furthermore, order rights are maintained for each participating pharmacy and wholesaler and monitor and record the transfer of order rights from a pharmacy to a wholesaler and the execute or the use by the wholesaler of the order rights. The order rights may include, in the alternative, a right assigned to the pharmacy to replenish the prescription drug dispensed or a different prescription drug for credit.09-25-2008

20100106487Style-checking method and apparatus for business writing - The method is software-based, and carried out on a computer system and cooperating apparatus. It checks written text for problems impairing clarity, conciseness and reader comfort in business documents. One embodiment includes routines for checking writing style in sentences and paragraphs, and for generating informational, critical and commendatory display indicators relating to reader comfort. The routines check subject and verb juxtaposition, verb strength, prepositional phrase use, transition words, unity-creating constructions, gerund use, and sentence variety. The indicators are displayed in the form of highlighted text and diacritical marks. Another embodiment is a method for quantifying reader discomfort. It includes routines for quantifying, reporting and displaying points indicating comfort-impairing problems of the type located by running the routines of the first embodiment. Yet another embodiment includes a method for editing text documents for reader comfort, by locating and fixing problem words and constructions.04-29-2010

20100063571PRE-CRIMP BALLOON INFLATION - A method of crimping a stent onto a balloon of a stent delivery catheter is disclosed. The method includes pressurizing the balloon while the stent is being radially compressed onto the balloon with a crimping apparatus. Once the stent has reached its radially compressed configuration, the pressure within the balloon is released, while an inward crimping force exerted on the stent by the crimping apparatus is maintained. After a dwell time, the inward crimping force is discontinued, and the balloon and crimped stent are removed from the crimping apparatus. Resultant of the crimping process, balloon material extends radially outward through interstices of the stent to facilitate stent retention on the balloon while advancing the stent delivery catheter through a vessel lumen.03-11-2010

20100327115AIRCRAFT POD STORE SEPARATION CHARACTERISTICS - A method for modifying the flow field about an aircraft instrumentation pod to improve the separation characteristics of stores released from adjacent pylons includes measuring the flow field about the aircraft instrumentation pod to obtain measured flowfield data, examining the flowfield data measured about the aircraft instrumentation pod to detect regions of supercritical flow, analyzing the measured flowfield data to determine one or more causes for detected regions of supercritical flow about the instrumentation pod, and modifying the geometry of the instrumentation pod to reduce the effects of the any supercritical flow fields. In one application of the inventive method, the trailing end of an instrumentation pod was modified from a tapered end to form an ogive which reduced shocks formed about the pod at transonic speeds that interfered with the trajectory of stores released from adjacent pylons.12-30-2010

20100171382MAGNETIC TRANSMISSION DEVICE - A magnetic device that includes a first wheel and a second wheel is provided. The first wheel has a first rotational axis and a plurality of first magnets. The second wheel is received at least in part within the first wheel. The second wheel has a second rotational axis that is generally perpendicular to the first rotational axis of the first wheel. The second magnetic wheel has a plurality of second magnets. The configuration of the plurality of first magnets and the plurality of second magnets creates magnetic fields that cause one of the first and second wheels to rotate when the other of the first and second wheels rotates.07-08-2010
