International Classification:

G06F 9/46

US Classification:

719318000

Abstract:

A method () utilizing a computing system () for managing implementation of a process () enables selection of a procedure () that includes hierarchically ordered events (), each representing a portion of the process (). Each event () has a set () of associated event outcomes (), each being linked to another event () within the procedure (). The method () obtains at least one event object () associated with a first event () and instantiates the event object () to present the first event () and the set () of event outcomes () to a user (). A user input () is received at the computing system () that includes one of the event outcomes () indicating completion of the first event (). The method () proceeds to another event () within the procedure () to implement the process () in response to the one event outcome ().

US Classification:

209 33

Abstract:

A method and system for testing and sorting a production run of sheet-like batteries includes: testing each battery to obtain a first value of electrical energy; placing machine readable indicia on each battery corresponding to the first value; retesting each battery after passage of a period of time to obtain a second value of electrical energy; machine reading the indicia and computing the rate of decay of electrical energy for each battery as a function of the difference between said first and second values per unit time; and sorting the batteries in accordance with the computed rate of decay to separate those batteries having an acceptable rate of decay from those batteries having too great a rate of decay.

International Classification:

A61K 3133

US Classification:

514177

Abstract:

The topical application to the ocular surface or adjacent regions of the eye of a preparation containing a therapeutically effective amount of an androgen or androgen analogue or a therapeutically effective amount of TGB-. beta. is disclosed as a method of relieving the chronic and acute manifestation of dry eye signs and symptoms in keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS), for example in Sjogren's syndrome.
