A method for improving clinical trial compliance for a business entity using a computer system including a database is provided. The method includes selecting a clinical trial facility and at least one clinical trial subject, creating a clinical trial protocol including at least medical service cost data for an insurance company and a clinical trial sponsor, establishing a second subsystem including a software application that schedules appointments, establishing a third subsystem including a software application that that generates invoices, storing the clinical trial protocol, the second subsystem and the third subsystem in the database. The method also includes providing communication means between the clinical trial protocol, the second subsystem and the third subsystem, performing a medical service on the at least one clinical trial subject and determining a corresponding medical service cost, and comparing the medical service cost against the clinical trial protocol to determine whether the medical service cost is included in the clinical trial protocol.

Method and system for clinical trial compliance

A task management system for providing a graphically displayable worklist having one or more rows of work items, one or more of the work items each representing one or more data rows to be worked from one or more application data tables that are not a task object table of the task management system, the task management system comprising a task database having at least one task object, a first dedicated task object in said task database, said first dedicated task object having a second metadata associated therewith for graphically displaying information related to said first dedicated task object, a first view object having a first set of instructions for determining a first plurality of data rows of the one or more application data tables and a second set of instructions for creating a first association between each data row of said first plurality of data rows and said first dedicated task object, and a display generator for using said second metadata in initiating generation of display data representing a display image presenting a worklist, said worklist having a first one or more rows of application data table work items, each of said first one or more rows of application data table work items representing at least one data row of said first plurality of data rows.

Data object access system and method using dedicated task object

A system and method of tracking a data object of a data management system. A tracking object is associated with a first data object, the tracking object including a first status data having a first status value representing a status of the first data object. Upon the creation and/or modification of a second data object that is associated with the first data object, the first status data is automatedly updated with a second status value based on the creating and/or modifying of the second data object.

Data object tracking system and method

An enterprise task management system () for managing data maintenance tasks across multiple applications. System () includes a task manager module () and a task engine module (). Task manager module () includes two primary graphical user interfaces: a user interface () and a system administrator interface (). User interface () includes an enterprise task list (), a preview text box (), and an instructions text box (). Task engine module () includes the following sub-modules: ETM system setup () and task generation (). Another aspect of the present invention is a system architecture for centrally managing the creation of tasks. Additional aspects of the present invention include a method of generating data maintenance tasks within an enterprise information system, a method of populating task data fields using task templates, and a method of automatically generating and performing tasks within system ().

Enterprise task manager

A game in which a player of the game acquires a ticket containing some information stored therein for comparison to information broadcasted from a transmitter. The broadcasted information contains a value, such as a number, corresponding to a winning number. The stored information is compared to the broadcasted information and if a match results, then the ticket is deemed to be a winning ticket.

Broadcast lottery

A ticket apparatus for a game is described. The ticket apparatus includes storage means for storing a first value. A receiver is included for receiving a broadcast of a broadcast value for the game, wherein the broadcast value is broadcast over a first transmission medium. The ticket apparatus includes means for ascertaining whether the first value is a winning value in view of the received broadcast value. A transmitter responsive to the ascertaining means is included for transmitting over a second transmission medium a signal that indicates that the first value is the winning value if the first value is the winning value. A method of playing a game is also described, wherein locater means are used to locate a ticket apparatus.

Ticket apparatus with a transmitter

An automatic control selector responds to demand conditions to select the proper control mode for a compressor system that includes a compressor operable in a plurality of control modes for alternately controlling the compressor according to the demand conditions on the system. Upon the detection of heavy demand conditions and upon the detection of light demand conditions, the automatic control selector automatically switches the system into an appropriate control mode.
