Abstract:
A method and system to enable healthcare providers to utilize computers in chronic disease treatment, and more particularly to the management of chronic diseases in a manner that follows recognized standard-of-care recommendations (SOC) and links the patient to benefit opportunities such as medication samples and other benefits offered by pharmaceutical manufacturers and insurers
Abstract:
A vibratory medicator combines a medication dispenser (35, 40, 45) with a vibrator (10) containing a motor-driven eccentric mass (13). The vibrator body (15) can be either hand held or strapped in place against a skin region to be treated; and when body (15) is vibrated, it vibrates the medication dispenser, which is pressed against the skin to apply the medication to the skin and to transmit vibrational energy to the skin. This provides the known benefits of vibration and also enhances the penetration of the medication into the skin region being treated.
Abstract:
A continuous molding machine particularly adapted for but not limited, in principle, to the making of waffles includes a lower conveyor carrying a plurality of forms each constituting a first part of a respective two-part split mold, a second conveyor carrying a plurality of forms each constituting the other part of the respective split molds and means for guiding the respective conveyors in respective paths so that the first and second mold parts are carried from spaced apart positions to positions in which the parts meet in registry and each of the molds defined by the parts is thereby closed and then the first and second mold parts are carried away from each other again so that each of the molds is opened. The conveyors carrying the mold parts may be passed through an oven to different extents so that the respective conveyors are heated differently and means are provided for aligning the mating mold parts despite different thermal expansions of the conveyors. Means may be provided for facilitating or positively effecting partial opening of the closed molds to permit the release of gases or vapors contained in the molds. Means may be provided for permitting the closed molds to partially open to release gases or vapors contained therein only upon the reaching of a predetermined minimum gas or vapor pressure in the mold. Means may be provided for swinging the mold parts out of the plane of the conveyor on which they are carried in order to facilitate such operations as cleaning of the mold parts.

Abstract:
A truck includes an alternator having a direct current electrical power output. The truck also includes an inverter having an alternating current electrical power output, and a battery. The truck further includes a day cab forming an interior space and a climate control unit for conditioning the interior space of the day cab. The climate control unit has a conditioning capacity rating that is not greater than 7,000 British thermal units per hour (Btu/hr). The climate control unit is adapted to be powered by an alternating current electrical source. The climate control unit is powered by the alternator through the inverter when an engine of the truck engine is running and powered by the battery through the inverter when the engine is not running.
