摘要:
Techniques are described for using radio-frequency identification (RFID) tags to track patient specimens throughout the collection and analysis of patient specimens. A series of RFID tags may be used to track the specimens starting with the collection of a patient's tissue specimen at a surgery or examination room, through the process of preparing the specimens at a laboratory, to a specialist's office where the specimens are analyzed, and eventually into storage where the left-over specimen materials may be archived. A database may be used to capture unique identifiers for the RFID tags and other information throughout the process.

The present invention relates to various methods of collecting and using data from RFID tags associated with items of interest. In one embodiment, the permissible error tolerance associated with the location of an RFID-tagged item may be altered, either manually or automatically. In another embodiment, RFID-tagged items may be associated with certain categories of items, based either on default or user-specified categories.

A method for controlling presentation of the content of a note on a display facilitates the editing of note content by a user. A computer user can view different portions of the note content quickly and easily, particularly when the note content extends beyond the displayed portion. A user can gain easy access to different portions of a note by simply clicking at desired positions along a content extent bar. The content extent bar can be made to indicate positioning from the beginning of the note content to the end. A current view bar indicates the position of a currently displayed portion of the note content. The user can drag the current view bar to display another portion of the note content. A cursor indicator can be displayed relative to the content extent bar. Upon selection of the cursor indicator, a portion of the note content containing the edit cursor is displayed. In the event the user marks a portion of the text, e.g., for a cut, copy, or formatting operation, a selected content indicator also can be displayed relative to the content extent bar. The selected content indicator can be sized to indicate the extent and position of the selected portion of the note content relative to the content extent.

摘要:
Computer-based techniques are described that use orthodontic prescription templates to assist an orthodontic practitioner in creating a patient-specific orthodontic prescription. In particular, an orthodontic practitioner may retrieve a stored electronic orthodontic prescription template. The practitioner may then generate an orthodontic prescription that is specific to a patient's teeth by modifying one or more bracket attributes of the template within orthodontic modeling software. Subsequently, the practitioner may communicate the patient-specific orthodontic prescription to a manufacturing facility that constructs an indirect bonding tray for use in physically placing brackets on the patient's teeth.

First program code is executed at a content recipient so as to identify a content provider having posted content of interest to the content recipient. Second program code is executed at the content recipient so as to automatically access the content provider and initiate receipt by the content recipient of the posted content.
摘要:
The present invention implements, in a data processing environment, many of the attributes of paper Post-it® notes. The note program of the present invention need not be resident in an application program, and the notes of the present invention may be moved directly between windows or between regions without being saved in an intermediate memory, may be easily dispensed either from a note dispenser of a window or on a desktop, may overlap the boundary of a window, may be automatically saved, may be attached to a document within a window so that the note moves with the document, may overlap a boundary of a window, may be resized with the constraint that the note may not be resized off of a window, may be moved across a window boundary, and may be attached to an object, such as a character, a word, a sentence, or paragraph of a document.
