Processes implemented within a computer system for preventing atypical clinical events resulting from administering unsuitable clinical agent(s) are provided. Initially, the processes involve receiving a list of possible clinical agent(s) that may be administered to a patient during a medical procedure. The processes further involve acquiring heredity data associated with the clinical agent(s) by comparing the clinical agent(s) against a data set or the patient's medical records. If the heredity data indicates that the patient scheduled to receive the clinical agent(s) would experience atypical clinical events as a potential outcome, a warning that the clinical agent(s) should not be administered by a clinician is presented or reference information about the atypical clinical event is output. Accordingly, a preemptive determination of the atypical clinical events potentially occurring upon administering the clinical agent(s) to the patient is made.

Techniques and systems for design of optical switch arrays so as to minimize power requirements are described. A design system includes a computer system hosting a design program. The design program receives parameters for the switch array, including a number N of outputs required, and either a maximum number L of stages allowed or maximum and average power requirements allowed. If power requirements are used as parameters, the design program uses N and the power requirements to compute the value of L. The design program then constructs a minimum power sequence of L switches or N switches, whichever is less. If N is less than L+1, N outputs are present and the array is complete. If N is greater than L+1, the design program then adds switches one at a time to the minimum power switch path of the array, until the array provides N outputs.
