| 20110106558 | INFECTION CONTROL SOLUTION - Described herein are embodiments directed to electronically managing infections in healthcare facilities. A treating infection preventionist (“IP”) uses a remote computer to access patients assigned to the IP. A server analyzes healthcare data associated with patients and groups the patients into different infection control categories (“IC categories”) for treatment or further monitoring. The IP can view assigned patients by their IC categories, receive alerts for potentially dangerous conditions in patients, and access real-time patient records from a remote computer. | 05-05-2011 |
| 20110145012 | GENERATING A HEALTHCARE TIMELINE - Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for generating healthcare timelines are provided. In embodiments, healthcare timelines are generated based on a clinical condition identified for a patient and a patient care plan associated with the clinical condition. Evidence-based best practice standards are evaluated to generate the healthcare timeline as well as a patient history that may affect the healthcare timeline and best practice standards that are appropriate for the patient. The healthcare timeline includes an onset time of the clinical condition, one or more tasks to complete for the clinical condition, and a timer that illustrates an amount of time remaining to complete the one or more tasks before expiration of the timer and administration of a critical treatment. | 06-16-2011 |

| 20100251265 | Operating System Distributed Over Heterogeneous Platforms - An illustrative operating system distributes two or more instances of the operating system over heterogeneous platforms of a computing device. The instances of the operating system work together to provide single-kernel semantics to present a common operating system abstraction to application modules. The heterogeneous platforms may include co-processors that use different instruction set architectures and/or functionality, different NUMA domains, etc. Further, the operating system allows application modules to transparently access components using a local communication path and a remote communication path. Further, the operating system includes a policy manager module that determines the placement of components based on affinity values associated with interaction relations between components. The affinity values express the sensitivity of the interaction relations to a relative location of the components. | 09-30-2010 |
| 20100312858 | NETWORK APPLICATION PERFORMANCE ENHANCEMENT USING SPECULATIVE EXECUTION - A speculative web browser engine may enable providing transmission of content between a server and a client prior to a user-initiated request for the content hidden in imperative code (event handlers), which may reduce user-perceived latency when the user initiates the imperative code. In some aspects, a speculative browser state may be created from an actual browser state and used to run the event handlers. The event handlers may be modified to direct actions of the event handler to update the speculative browser state. Speculative content may be transmitted between the server and the client in response to an execution of the modified code. The speculative content may be stored in a cache and made readily available for use when the user initiates the event handler and finds that the desired content has already been fetched. | 12-09-2010 |

| 20100143241 | Method and apparatus for delivery of agents across the blood brain barrier - We describe a method for opening the blood-brain barrier (BBB) using ultrasound and preformed microbubbles. With this method, diagnostic or therapeutic agents may be administered to the brain. This method can open a focal region of the BBB and administer agents in a targeted fashion or the method can open large regions (or the entirety) of the brain for more global administration of agents. In one embodiment, the method can be used to administer contrast agents (e.g., agents that increase or decrease the magnetic resonance imaging signal) to the brain and thereby improve the quality or information content of imaging data. In another embodiment, a standard clinical diagnostic ultrasound scanner can be used to open specific regions of the BBB and administer diagnostic or therapeutic agents. Importantly, this invention can open the BBB in a non-destructive/non-invasive fashion, allowing the subject to be awake and suffer no detectable side effects. | 06-10-2010 |

| 20100296496 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CONCURRENT WIRELESS LOCAL AREA NETWORK ACCESS AND SENSING - This invention describes systems and methods for combining the Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) infrastructure and Wireless Intrusion Prevention Systems (WIPS) by leveraging a common radio platform equipped with more than one WLAN radio and a unified management system. The invention provides all the benefits of the WLAN, without sacrificing the 24×7 dedicated security monitoring and performance troubleshooting available from an overlay WIPS system, while reducing the deployment cost and management complexity, by sharing a common hardware platform for the WLAN Access Point (AP) and WIPS sensor and leveraging an integrated management system. | 11-25-2010 |
| 20110099280 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SECURE ACCESS TO REMOTE NETWORKS UTILIZING WIRELESS NETWORKS - The present disclosure provides secure connectivity to remote networks on demand without requiring an interactive logon at a wireless client. Specifically, the present invention utilizes a proxy in a wireless network, such as an Access Point (AP) or the like, to provide client access to a remote, hosted network external to the wireless network. The present invention utilizes existing wireless security protocols and other security mechanisms between the proxy and the remote, hosted network. In operation, a wireless network proxy responds to a wireless client that is seeking a remote, hosted network, such as through an association request. The wireless network proxy then serves as an intermediary between the remote, hosted network and the wireless client to enable secure end-to-end communication. | 04-28-2011 |

| 20080209517 | Systems and methods for generating, managing, and displaying alarms for wireless network monitoring - The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods for generating, managing, and displaying alarms associated with monitoring a wireless network. Advantageously, the present disclosure provides one alarm per security event, and the ability to see an event in context over time and aggregate information. This results in a significant reduction in alarm volume for wireless monitoring which increases manageability and reduces storage requirements. Further, this provides better security by avoiding the “needle in the haystack” problem where you see few actionable alarms rather than being flooded by multiple copies of the same event over time. Finally, the present disclosure provides improved system scalability with large deployments by managing alarms through lesser alarm volume, and through visual representation. | 08-28-2008 |
