Abstract:
An engine control, communication and starting system for outdoor power equipment that has a controller (32) and a one or more safety interlocks (40), e.g. for brakes, seat occupancy, etc. The controller monitors the status of the safety interlocks to determine whether the internal combustion engine can be started upon activation of a starting device (37). If the starting device (37) is activated and one or more of the safety interlocks is in a condition that prevents operation of the engine, the controller generates a feedback message to the operator through a feedback system (36). The feedback message can be either an audible or visual message that relays information to the operator. The feedback message details what safety interlock prevented starting the engine. During engine operation, the controller terminates operation of the engine if any of the safety interlocks move to an un-allowed status. The system further includes a speed selection circuit that allows the operator to select the desired engine speed. The controller operates the internal combustion engine at the selected engine speed.
Abstract:
A system provides an information sharing architecture that allows physically separate healthcare information systems, called "deployments," to share and exchange information. The collection of these participating deployments is referred to as the "Community," and systems within the Community sometimes store records for patients in common. The system allows participants in the Community to share information on data changes to these patients, and to reconcile concurrent and conflicting updates to the patient's record.
Abstract:
A lawn mower includes an internal combustion engine (112), an electric motor (120) configured to start the engine (112), a blade driven by the engine(112), and an assembly for stopping at least one of the blade and the engine. The assembly includes a brake mechanism (514), a release mechanism (126) movable to an engaged position to release the brake mechanism (514), an interlock (128) configured to selectively prevent the release mechanism (126) from moving to the engaged position, and an interface (122) allowing an operator to release the interlock (128) to allow the release mechanism (126) to move to the engaged position. The lawn mower further includes a switch (432) actuated by the release mechanism (126) and a control module (430) coupled to the switch (432) so that the switch provides a signal to the control module (430) when the release mechanism (126) is in the engaged position and the control module (430) turns on the electric motor (120) in response to the signal to start the engine (112).
Abstract:
A system and method is provided for synchronizing a data set across a distributed, electronic, health record system which includes storing the data set at a first deployment, assigning an identifier to the data set, designating the first deployment as an owning deployment for the data set, and transmitting a portion of the data set, the identifier, and the home deployment designation to the second deployment. The method also includes causing the first deployment to transmit the portion of the data set, the identifier, and the owning deployment designation to the second deployment if it is determined that the data set should be transmitted to the second deployment, and causing the system to synchronize the data set between the first deployment and the second deployment.

Abstract:
A formulation for a animal vaccines is provided. The vaccine formulation contains a stabilizer component and a viral immunogen. The stabilizer component includes a substantially TSE/BSE-safe animal-based protein and a vegetable-based protein. The stabilizer component provides for the stabilization of a vaccine throughout its storage and administration.
