20150346008 | Fluid Flow Testing - A fluid flow testing apparatus for measuring the you profile of a container has a rotatable container carrier and an assembly for rotating the container between a first position allowing fluid to be retained within the container and a second position causing fluid to be poured from the container. Sensors far sensing the weight of the container as liquid is poured from the container are provided in order to determine the pour profile of the container. A controller receives input signals from the sensors in order to record the weight of the container over time as liquid is poured from the container as the container is rotated. The change of weight of the container over time establishes a pour profile for the container. | 12-03-2015 |

20140379718 | RADIOLOGY DATA PROCESSING AND STANDARDIZATION TECHNIQUES - Systems and methods for establishing standardization of radiology imaging procedure types and data related to such radiology imaging procedure types are disclosed herein. Radiology imaging data produced from radiology procedures at plurality of different systems and locations may produce different data formats and data values, even for the same radiology procedure. In one example, a radiology imaging order system is configured to standardize these different data formats and data values to a standardized format and identification that can be used for radiology study assignment, categorization, analytics, and related data federation activities. In further examples, multiple radiology procedures from respective facilities are normalized to a radiology procedure type schema, with each normalized radiology procedure type identifiable with a human-readable procedure identifier. Other examples of processing activities and use of the procedure identifier and standardized data are also disclosed herein. | 12-25-2014 |
