摘要:
The present invention relates particularly to a system and method for providing product data for use in on-line product catalogs used for promotional schemes, such as loyalty and incentive schemes. Loyalty and incentive systems are well known, where participants gain virtual currency which they can use to purchase goods or services. The present invention enables a plurality of on-line catalogs to be constructed from a stream of supplier data. Selection criteria are used to select product data from the supplier data to go in each catalog. The product data can be updated in real time for each catalog on the basis of the selection criteria.

摘要:
A method for controlling bleeding from bones, comprising the use of copolymers of oxyethylene and oxypropylene or mixtures thereof to cover the bleeding portions of bones. The copolymers are resorbable by the body, not metabolized, simple to prepare, inexpensive, readily available, and do not interfere with the fusion, osteogenesis, and related tissue healing and repair of the affected bones.

A method and a system for identifying a data quality issue associated with medical diagnostic data is provided. The system includes, but is not limited to, an imaging apparatus configured to generate imaging data and a processor operably coupled to the imaging apparatus to receive the imaging data. The processor is configured to analyze the received imaging data; to identify a data quality issue associated with the received imaging data based on the analysis of the received imaging data; to generate a message including the identified data quality issue; and to send the generated message to a user.

An expandable downhole tool is disclosed that employs naturally occurring organic matter as the expandable material. The expandable material is located within an enclosure formed in part by an impermeable element, which may form a hydraulic seal, and a permeable membrane that permits fluids present in the wellbore to pass and interact with the organic matter. The heat and fluids present within the wellbore may cause the expandable matter to swell, and thus causing the enclosure to swell and possibly form a hydraulic seal against a wellbore or inner annulus. The expandable tool may be used as packer, plug, or other downhole tool, among others. Methods of manufacturing and using such tools are also disclosed.
摘要:
An electronic scale for use in a weight control program in which the weighing histories and desired weight goals for each of a number of individuals are stored. A weigh signal is produced when an individual steps onto the platform of the scale, and the weight is displayed on the top of a column upstanding from the base and spoken. Following entry of information identifying the individual into a keyboard also atop the column, a microprocessor assembles two types of messages, at least one informational and at least one psychologically reinforcing, from stored message components in accordance with the identified individual's stored weighing history and stored desired weight goal and the message is spoken. In response to manual operation of other keys, the scale can calculate any individual's ideal weight goal and can review his stored weight history.
摘要:
A portable electronic dictionary in a hand-held housing which mounts a plurality of alpha-numeric displays and a keyboard. A plug-in module contains a microcomputer and a ROM which stores a plurality of pairs of sequences of alpha-numeric characters and is searched by a central processing unit in the microcomputer under instructions stored as firmware in another ROM forming part of the microcomputer. One sequence of each stored pair is compared with a sequence which is entered into the keyboard and stored in a RAM also forming part of the microcomputer until a match is found. After one or more sequences have been entered into the keyboard and locations of matching pairs are stored in the microcomputer RAM, the pairs of stored sequences can be rolled across the display. Either sequence of each pair can be compared with a sequence entered into the keyboard.

A hockey stick assembly has an elongate rubbery damping material installed within a hollow stick shaft. The insert may be formed with one end that has, or may have a cap or socket mounted at one end that has, an indexing member for locating the elongate material within the hollow shaft. The cap or socket or end may include a widened portion, and may include projections or a peripherally extending flange for engaging the butt end. A cap may be placed over the end of the stick once the insert has been installed. The insert may be removable. It may be a high density rubber or rubber-like polymer that may tend not to rattle. The insert may have constant thickness, and be formed to define a plug and stopper at one end. The other end is trimmed to length and slid into a loose fit within the shaft.
