摘要:
A system determines the cost of a transaction. The system receives a transaction for an item. The transaction is in terms of a first unit of measure. The system then determines the quantity in terms of a second unit of measure and calculates the cost of the transaction based on the second unit of measure.

A rail bracket is attached to a window rail with a rivet. The rivet has a non-circular shape, such as an oval shape, which cooperates with an opening in the rail bracket to prevent the rail bracket from rotating relative to the window rail during riveting.

In a method for measuring healthcare quality, a plurality of computers operating in parallel receive from a patient dataset representative of patients within a healthcare organization, the patient dataset being distributed across the plurality of computer as subsets of patient datasets. The plurality of computers receive at least one healthcare quality measure definition comprising a numerator and a denominator. The plurality of computers identify, in the subsets of patient datasets, patient data that corresponds to the measure definition. The plurality of computers attribute the identified patient data to at least one provider based on an attribution rule. The plurality of computers calculate at least one healthcare quality measure for the at least one provider, according to the healthcare quality measure definition, based on the attributed patient encounters. The plurality of computers store the at least one calculated healthcare quality measure in a measure dataset.

A window clamp is used to hold a vehicle window within a vehicle door. The window clamp includes first and second clamp arms that are secured together with a fastener. A seal is inserted into a gap between first and second clamp arms. The seal includes first and second seal arms that engage both side surfaces of the vehicle window. The first and second clamp arms each include a slot. Portions of the seal are snapped into each slot to secure the seal to the window clamp.

The invention provides a variable gain amplifier system for use in a burst mode receiver, said system comprising an amplifier adapted to amplify a signal; a gain control module; a dc offset compensation module adapted to derive a compensation signal as a function of the amplifier gain. Compared to existing methods for dc offset compensation in variable gain amplifier, the system and method for dc offset compensation allows fast adjustment of rapidly changing dc offsets that occur in applications where the gain of the variable gain amplifier is adjusted rapidly.
摘要:
Photodetectors are constructed with ternary semiconductor alloys, for which the band gap varies with composition, to fabricate a photodetector and optical filter combination. The detectors are part of a measuring system that measures, stores and displays UV intensity versus time, peak intensity, total UV energy and temperature. It simultaneously measures a plurality of different UV ranges and temperatures. The output of the sensing system is converted to digital form and displayed on a visually perceptible device. Preferably total UV dosage and peak intensity are displayed for each monitored UV band, together with the maximum temperature. By manufacturing the photodetectors and filters with a ternary semiconductor alloy, sensors can be constructed which have a photoresponse to light in a narrow wavelength band and are blind to light outside of the wavelength band. Each sensor includes a filter and photodetector section, each of which includes ternary semiconductor alloys (i.e., both the filter and photodetector are fabricated at least in part with ternary semiconductor alloys).

摘要:
A bladder shell for inflatable balls having at least a pair of layers of compounded synthetic latex and compounded natural rubber latex or at least a layer of blended synthetic latex and natural rubber latex compounded with anti-oxidant, activators, accelerators, thickening and wetting agents, stabilizers etc. to form a low air permeability and high bounce bladder shell having thickness of between 0.25 mm to 3.0 mm. The present invention also defines a process for the preparation of the bladder shell comprising formation of at least a layer of natural rubber latex and a synthetic latex each. The process of the present invention comprises dipping the former in not only a natural rubber latex bath but also in the synthetic latex bath. In an another embodiment, the process comprises dipping the former in the bath comprising blended natural rubber latex and synthetic latex.
