Microvascular complications of diabetes mellitus are closely related to blood glucose levels and fluctuations. The Glycostator statistical package was created to allow patients and health care providers simple access to “glycemic indicators” which permit a “snapshot view” of the effectiveness of the patient's diabetes management program. Glycostator functions provide a simple way of enhancing the information already provided by home blood glucose monitoring devices. To this end, a set of new indices, including one called the Virtual A1c, are computed in a recursive fashion from blood glucose test results to provide a more meaningful day-to-day assessment of glycemic control. All indices can be made available at the meter user interface on request. The displayed indices allow patients to improve glycemic control by identifying problems with blood glucose control and lability that are less easily recognized in traditional blood glucose meter statistical packages. Virtual A1c emulates hemoglobin A1c continuously and provides better day-to-day assessment of long term glycemic control than does the traditional average blood glucose report. The method for computing each of these indices, including the Virtual A1c, allows for their implementation in commercial blood glucose monitors.

The present invention provides a system that integrates requests and responses thereto for Operation and Business Support Systems (OSS/BSS) that comprise many discrete and non-inclusive systems with disparate interfaces.

A computer network of an enterprise includes a central management computer linking at least one trusted host computer with at least one user computer. The trusted host computer is not used for normal day-to-day activities within the enterprise, and may also not be used for reading electronic mail nor for accessing the Internet and downloading Web site content. Antivirus software on the user computer screens for suspect activity or features and, if found, the suspect activity or features are compared to rules database. If a determination of malware cannot be made, then these unresolved activities or features are sent to the central management computer to be compared to the trusted, known activities and features of the trusted computer. The suspect activities may be deemed acceptable if activities are shared amongst a certain number of user computers all configured to perform the same function. A user computer may be compared against itself over time.

A system and a method for generating computer displays of data and information for management and real-time control of an organization utilizing critical performance indicators of performance states in all operational activities. The data and information are displayed in networked computer screens using algorithms to efficiently handle all the myriad elements constituting the day-to-day operation of an organization. The CEO can observe on his screen any selected data from all the operating units. The CEO is immediately informed of a bottleneck in operation for his attention. Every senior manager of a department continuously receives the relevant actual performance data of his department, presenting the results of executed activities. This information is displayed in selectable operating periods. Managers are also able to view the displays on screens of other departments and review data giving them information on their performance as much as it relates to their operating unit within an organization.

A method and articles are described which provide a child with an interactive mixture of information content, activities, games, physical objects such as toys, and interconnection and communication with other like minded children and supportive adults, all of which are directed to instilling in the child an appreciation for wildlife and interest in the conservation of wildlife. A unique feature of the present invention is that it causes the child to focus on a specific wild animal, one which is symbolically "adopted" by the child and which the child comes to know on a very personal basis. This invention therefore allows the development of a bond between the wild animal and child as the child learns about and follows the day-to-day activities, life and well-being of the animal, which in turn leads to the child's development of knowledge and appreciation of wildlife generally.

The invention is directed to QCM measurements in monitoring ALD processes. Previously, significant barriers remain in the ALD processes and accurate execution. To turn this exclusively dedicated in situ technique into a routine characterization method, an integral QCM fixture was developed. This new design is easily implemented on a variety of ALD tools, allows rapid sample exchange, prevents backside deposition, and minimizes both the footprint and flow disturbance. Unlike previous QCM designs, the fast thermal equilibration enables tasks such as temperature-dependent studies and ex situ sample exchange, further highlighting the feasibility of this QCM design for day-to-day use. Finally, the in situ mapping of thin film growth rates across the ALD reactor was demonstrated in a popular commercial tool operating in both continuous and quasi-static ALD modes.

A process converts stand-alone data sources to an open standard based architecture and integrates data throughout disparate departments and organizations. Once the data is in an open environment, it is made available in a collaborative environment via Web-based applications. The process does not require that the data come under the control of a central database, rather each data owner retains control. The invention allows users to maintain original processes for conducting their day-to-day activities. With minor modification to client applications, role-based interconnectivity of data can be established to allow data elements to be re-used by all downstream users without re-entering data, thereby improving product and process knowledge, preventing errors, handling data arbitration, improving data visibility and flexibility for decision makers, and saving resources thereby allowing collaborators to focus on core business competencies.
