The processor is further configured to determine the safe maximum speed of the vehicle based on the distance to the end and pitch of the grade of the upcoming or current road segment the vehicle is traveling on and the braking efficiency of the vehicle. | 08-23-2012 |
20120221196 | ACTIVE TIRE CONTROLLER DEVICE - A control system and method for enhancing motor vehicle fuel economy. The system and method establishes a vehicle operating in either a city operating condition or highway operating condition. Once a highway operating condition is established, an on-board motor vehicle tire pressure pneumatic controller may be commanded set a relatively higher tire inflation pressure optimizing the tires for minimizing rolling resistance and thereby enhancing fuel economy. In a city operating condition, tire inflation pressure may be returned to nominal values optimizing inflation pressure for vehicle dynamic capabilities for maneuvering, braking, or traction. Distinguishing between the operating conditions may be based on one or more of a number of parameters of the motor vehicle. | 08-30-2012 |

20100169109 | Managing Patient Care Plans - Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for managing patient care plans are provided. In embodiments, a patient care plan, including at least one order, is input into a patient profile. A user may proactively check for alerts related to the patient care plan or receive alert notification when signing the orders included in the patient care plan. Upon presentation of an alert, the user may re-enter the patient profile to correct input information, cancel the order associated with the alert, override the alert, and the like. In the case the alert is overridden, information related to the reason for overriding the alert is collected and preserved in an alert history for presentation to subsequent users. | 07-01-2010 |
20100169771 | User Interface for Managing Patient Care Plans - Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for managing patient care plans are provided. In embodiments, a graphical user interface provides for the presentation and management of patient care plans. The user interface includes a plan summary area that is configured to display information relating to a patient care plan. The user interface also includes a plan detail area configured to display an activated patient care plan that is indicated by an activated icon. Additional informational icons are displayed in both the plan summary area and the plan detail area. The activated patient care plan includes orders that are displayed in an order summary area. The number of orders of the patient care plan to be signed is indicated in the plan detail area. The user interface may also include a checks alerts input to proactively check alerts before signing the orders. | 07-01-2010 |
20100179825 | COPYING PATIENT-CUSTOMIZED HEALTHCARE PLANS/ORDERS/PHASES - Computerized methods in a clinical computing environment for presenting previously customized, patient-specific healthcare plans, orders, phases and/or portions thereof, in association with subsequent patient encounters are provided. The method includes receiving a patient identifier associated with a patient and a particular encounter; receiving an indicator of a condition/diagnosis associated with the patient and the particular encounter; determining that the patient has presented with the condition/diagnosis in association with at least one previous encounter; and presenting at least one order, healthcare plan, phase of a healthcare plan, or portion thereof associated with the at least one previous encounter, wherein the presented at least one order, healthcare plan, phase of a healthcare plan, or portion thereof includes at least one patient-specific customization. | 07-15-2010 |
20110173029 | RECURRING TIME ZERO - Computerized methods and systems in a clinical computing environment are provided for methods and systems in a clinical computing environment for collectively ordering recurring orders. Each treatment period (that is, each instance of a recurring order or group of orders) is permitted to be activated independently even though the ordering activity for the treatment schedule takes place only once. Relationships between orders within a recurring group or phase, as well as relationships between different instances of the group or phase (e.g., between treatment periods included in a treatment schedule wherein the same group of orders is to be executed on two different days) are established utilizing time offsets. Each time that a treatment period is activated, a new time zero is established and future administration times are calculated utilizing the time offsets with respect to the new time zero. Additionally, each time that a treatment period is activated and a new time zero is established, future treatment periods included in the treatment schedule are scheduled for future initiation based upon the time offsets. | 07-14-2011 |
