Abstract:
A system and method for use in planning procedures subject to variation is provided comprising the following components: a duration estimator module configured to characterize average duration times and variations from average for a given procedure or activity; a block allocation planner module configured to schedule procedures or activities in accordance with characterized times from the duration estimator module; and a user interface module configured to permit a user to visualize variation, to visualize scheduling opportunities and constraints and to view information output for use in scheduling procedures and activities.
Abstract:
An improved process for separating and isolating individual polar protic monomer(s) and/or oligomer(s) on the basis of degree of polymerization. A liquid sample containing polar protic monomer(s) and/or oligomer(s) is introduced into a liquid chromatography (LC) column packed with a polar bonded stationary chromatographic phase. The individual polar protic monomer(s) and/or oligomer(s) are separated via a binary mobile phase elution. One or more individual fractions containing the monomer(s) and/or oligomer(s) are eluted. The polar protic monomer(s) and/or oligomer(s) may be proanthocyanidins, hydrolyzable tannins, oligosaccharides, oligonucleotides, peptides, acrylamides, polysorbates, polyketides, poloxamers, polyethylene glycols, polyoxyethylene alcohols or polyvinyl alcohols. The binary mobile phase comprises an A phase consisting essentially of a polar aprotic solvent and a B phase consisting essentially of a polar protic solvent. A process for separating and isolating xanthine(s) (e.g., caffeine and theobromine) from polar protic monomer(s) and/or oligomer(s). A liquid sample containing xanthine(s) and polar protic monomer(s) and/or oligomer(s) is introduced into an LC column packed with a polar bonded stationary chromatographic phase. The xanthines are separated via an isocratic mobile phase elution, and one or more individual fractions containing the xanthines are eluted.
Abstract:
A prosthetic foot includes a sole plate having a body formed of resilient material. The sole plate is elongated along an anterior and posterior axis wherein an anterior portion of the plate defines a toe portion and the posterior portion defines a heel portion. An ankle member having a planar portion in contact with the sole plate is rigidly affixed to the sole plate at the heel portion. The ankle member has an extension portion positioned anterior of the planar portion and separated from the planar portion by a transition portion. A resilient pad is disposed between the contact portion of the ankle member and the sole plate. The resilient pad and extension portion of ankle member define a gap such that as a user's weight is transferred anterior following initial contact, the extension portion of the ankle member tilts forward reducing the gap formed between the resilient pad and the extension portion for improving the dorsiflexion of the prosthetic foot.
Abstract:
A method for using and interacting with mathematical or algorithmic business system transfer functions in support of a business information, analysis, decisioning and control system. The method includes developing at least one high-level business system view wherein the transfer function is configured to quantitatively express the business system view; identifying a number of input parameters associated with one or more of the resources used in the business process, identifying at least one output parameter associated with the operation of the business process; collecting operational data that associate the number of input parameters with the at least one output parameter based on an actual operation of the business process. The method also includes a primary display layer that presents a control scenario for a testbed environment for the business information and decisioning control system.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to affixing components of optical packages. The optical packages can include an optical component, such as a TO-Can. The TO-Can can house an optical transmitter and/or an optical receiver. Another optical component of the optical package can be a barrel for aligning the TO-Can with an optical fiber. The TO-Can can be affixed within an open end of the optical barrel using a bonding substance, such as an epoxy, that has wicking properties. The wicking properties cause the bonding substance to enter a gap between the optical barrel and the TO-Can by capillary action. Use of the bonding substance with wicking properties creates a more robust optical package in a cost effective manner.
