International Classification:

G06Q 99/00

US Classification:

705 1, 434367

Abstract:

Methods and systems for tracking whether an individual has received required services and for analyzing service gaps. In one embodiment, the present invention tracks special education students to ensure that they receive services that have been designated as appropriate for them. When a service is provided to any student by any provider, this information is input and maintained electronically. Once this information is entered, it can be analyzed to ensure that the services provided correspond with the student's IEP. In another embodiment, data from the input information on service encounters is usable with Medicaid or other reimbursement services to produce documents for submission for reimbursement.

International Classification:

H01B 1/22

US Classification:

252512, 252514, 528420

Abstract:

Disclosed are polymer-based coatings and materials comprising (i) a polymeric composition including a polymer having side chains along a backbone forming the polymer, at least two of the side chains being substituted with a heteroatom selected from oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, and phosphorus and combinations thereof; and (ii) a plurality of metal species distributed within the polymer. At least a portion of the heteroatoms may form part of a chelation complex with some or all of the metal species. In many embodiments, the metal species are present in a sufficient concentration to provide a conductive material, e. g. , as a conductive coating on a substrate. The conductive materials may be useful as the thin film conducting or semi-conducting layers in organic electronic devices such as organic electroluminescent devices and organic thin film transistors.

Abstract:

High heat polyethersulfone compositions are provided which possess unexpectedly high glass transition temperatures. The polyethersulfone compositions comprise structural units derived from phthalimide bisphenols such as 3,3-bis(4 -hydroxyphenyl)-N-phenylphthalimide, and structural units derived from at least one biphenyl-bissulfone such as 4,4′-bis((4-chlorophenyl)sulfonyl)-1,1′-biphenyl. The novel polyethersulfone compositions may further comprise structural units derived from one or more biphenols such as 4,4′-biphenol, bisphenols such as BPA, or other electrophilic sulfone monomers, such as bis(4-chlorophenyl)sulfone. In one embodiment, the polyethersulfone composition of the present invention comprises structural groups derived exclusively from 3,3-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)-N-phenylphthalimide, and 4,4′-bis((4-chlorophenyl)sulfonyl)-1,1′-biphenyl and exhibits a single glass transition of greater than 300 C.

US Classification:

424/400000, 525/054300, 525/326100, 525/419000

Abstract:

A polymeric composition that generates nitric oxide and a process for rendering the surface of a substrate nonthrombogenic by applying a coating of the polymeric composition to the substrate are disclosed. The composition comprises: (1) a crosslinked chemical combination of (i) a polymer having amino group-containing side chains along a backbone forming the polymer, and (ii) a crosslinking agent containing functional groups capable of reacting with the amino groups; and (2) a plurality of nitric oxide generating functional groups associated with the crosslinked chemical combination. Once exposed to a physiological environment, the coating generates nitric oxide thereby inhibiting platelet aggregation. In one embodiment, the nitric oxide generating functional groups are provided by a nitrated compound (e.g., nitrocellulose) imbedded in the polymeric composition. In another embodiment, the nitric oxide generating functional groups comprise NO groups covalently bonded to amino groups on the polymer.

International Classification:

G06F017/00

US Classification:

707/10300R

Abstract:

A method and system for providing compliance with a management scheme, such as the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, and a method and system for tailoring the management scheme to management entity requirements. One variation allows inclusion of multiple management entities in an application/database, with configuring and processing for each individually. More than one management scheme can be extant for each management entity. The management scheme allows information input regarding entities subject to the scheme, requirements identification regarding each entity, and iterative generation of additional input to ensure compliance with the management scheme. One entity can be subject to more than one management schemes. The tailoring method and system include identifying management entity-specific data options and rules, comparing the options and rules to a master set, linking options and rules of the management entity to corresponding master items, and adding data options and rules lacking corresponding master items.
