20090013388 | Method and system for protecting information on a computer system - A system and method for protecting sensitive information, for example, a user's personal information, stored on a database where the information is accessible via a communications network such as the Internet. An exemplary embodiment stores the sensitive information on an off-line server. The off-line server is connected to an on-line server. The on-line server is connected to the user via the Internet. The user interfaces with the on-line server, and at a scheduled time window, the sensitive information is made available to the on-line server by the off-line server. Outside of the time window, none of the sensitive information is kept on the on-line server. Thus by placing the sensitive information on-line for only limited periods of time the risk of compromise to the sensitive information is greatly reduced. | 01-08-2009 |
20100094658 | PATIENT DIRECTED SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MANAGING MEDICAL INFORMATION - A system and method is provided for the management of a patient's medical records by a central data repository under the direction of the patient and enabled by an entity managing records on behalf of the patient. Medical records from a plurality of the patient's healthcare providers, including past and present healthcare providers, are maintained in this central repository in a way that provides a centralized, comprehensive, and accessible medical history of the patient, as well as a comprehensive organizational structure across all records. An embodiment has the patient directed central repository as the hub in a hub-and-spoke arrangement, where each spoke goes to one of the patient's healthcare providers, both past and present. The patient's medical records are collected from all the patient's healthcare providers, then classified, stored, and organized for use by the patient, healthcare providers, and any other authorized individuals. The records in the repository can be sorted and/or selected in several different ways and displayed to the patient or to his designated medical care providers, and to certain patient designated third parties. | 04-15-2010 |
20100228721 | CLASSIFYING MEDICAL INFORMATION IN DIFFERENT FORMATS FOR SEARCH AND DISPLAY IN SINGLE INTERFACE AND VIEW - In one embodiment, a method receives a plurality of documents. The documents may be received from different medical providers. Also, the documents may be medical record documents generated or captured in a first format and a second format. The first format may be an unstructured data format and the second format may be a structured data format. The first and second documents are then converted to a common format. For example, a common format may emerge as the most restrictive or constrained denominator of the first format and the second format. A schema is determined that provides an organizational structure with categories that can be used to index the content of the first and second documents while they are being converted to the common format. The schema and indexing enable the different formats of documents to be combined and organized simultaneously into a single view for a comprehensive review. | 09-09-2010 |
20120210402 | Protecting Information on a Computer System Using Multiple Authentication Methods - In one embodiment, a method includes receiving, for a user, first user authentication information for a first authentication method and receiving, for the user, second user authentication information for a second authentication method. The second authentication method is different from the first authentication method. Upon authenticating the first user authentication information and the second user authentication information, the method moves a subset of data stored on a back-end storage device to a front-end storage device. The front-end storage device is directly connected to the user via a network and the back-end storage device not being directly connected to the network. The method then allows access to the subset of data for a period of time, wherein after the period of time expires, the subset of data is removed from the front-end storage device. | 08-16-2012 |
20120290564 | COMBINING MEDICAL INFORMATION CAPTURED IN STRUCTURED AND UNSTRUCTURED DATA FORMATS FOR USE OR DISPLAY IN A USER APPLICATION, INTERFACE, OR VIEW - In one embodiment, a method receives a plurality of documents. The documents may be received from different medical providers. Also, the documents may be medical record documents generated or captured in a first format and a second format. The first format may be an unstructured data format and the second format may be a structured data format. The first and second documents are then converted to a common format. For example, a common format may emerge as the most restrictive or constrained denominator of the first format and the second format. A schema is determined that provides an organizational structure with categories that can be used to index the content of the first and second documents while they are being converted to the common format. The schema and indexing enable the different formats of documents to be combined and organized simultaneously into a single view for a comprehensive review. | 11-15-2012 |
20140046931 | CLASSIFYING INFORMATION CAPTURED IN DIFFERENT FORMATS FOR SEARCH AND DISPLAY IN A COMMON FORMAT - In one embodiment, a method receives a plurality of documents. The documents may be received from different medical providers. Also, the documents may be medical record documents generated or captured in a first format and a second format. The first format may be an unstructured data format and the second format may be a structured data format. The first and second documents are then converted to a common format. For example, a common format may emerge as the most restrictive or constrained denominator of the first format and the second format.

20080257233 | DOUBLE-WALLED BLOW-MOLDED CONTAINER INCLUDING AN UNDERCUT FEATURE - An undercut for a blow-molded container is provided and may include a top surface, first and second side surfaces, and first and second end surfaces. The side surfaces are connected to the top surface, and the side surfaces may be substantially flat, substantially parallel with one another, and substantially perpendicular with the top surface. The first end surface is connected to the top surface and the side surfaces, and may be positioned at an obtuse angle relative to the top surface. The second end surface is connected to the top surface and side surfaces. The second end surface may include a tip portion and a concave arc portion. The tip portion may be flat and extend from the top surface at an acute angle. The concave arc portion extends from the tip portion and underlies the top surface to form a hook-shaped fastener for attaching an object to the undercut. | 10-23-2008 |
20080257234 | WATER-RESISTANT LINER INSERT FOR A SAFE - A water-resistant liner insert for a safe is provided. The safe includes top and bottom elements pivotally coupled with one another to define an interior compartment when in a closed position. The liner insert may be coupled with one of the top and bottom elements. The liner insert includes a liner insert body and a resilient gasket. The liner insert body includes a peripheral edge that conforms in shape to interface surfaces on each of the top and bottom elements. The resilient gasket conforms in shape to the peripheral edge of the liner insert body and is coupled with the peripheral edge of the liner insert body. The gasket is configured to be in sealable contact with the interface surfaces of the top and bottom elements when the safe is in the closed position to substantially prevent water from entering the interior compartment of the safe. | 10-23-2008 |
20090126427 | Dial Mechanism For A Combination Lock - A dial mechanism for a combination lock is provided. The dial mechanism may include an escutcheon plate, a ring member, a fastening member, and a dial. The ring member may include three arms, wherein each of the arms have first and second portions. The first portion extends inwardly from an inner edge of the ring member and the second portion extends perpendicularly from the first portion. The arms include a protrusion that extends outwardly from each of the second portions. The fastening member fixedly mounts the ring member to the escutcheon plate and includes an indicator. A plurality of tick marks are positioned on an outer surface of the dial, and a plurality of teeth extend from an inner surface of the dial. A tick mark is aligned with the indicator when each of the protrusions are positioned between and in contact with two adjacent teeth on the dial. | 05-21-2009 |
