A removeable and easily attachable/detachable rail system for use with chest compression devices and portable patient carrier boards. The rail system can include an elongated grooved structure providing multiple points of attachment for a chest compression device. The elongated grooved structure is removably affixed to the carrier board using one or more clamp mechanisms adapted to engage a side panel or hand hole of the board. The rail system allows first responders the ability to quickly and efficiently provide cardiopulmonary resuscitation assistance to a patient, while allowing for faster patient transport.

Chest compression rail system and methods for using same

An intermediary server receives a resource request from a client computer for a requested resource that has a desired resource ability to optimize the client computer. The intermediary server identifies an alternative resource that has the desired resource ability to optimize the client computer, and determines that an ability of the alternative resource to provide the desired resource ability exceeds an ability of the requested resource to provide the desired resource ability. In response to determining that the ability of the alternative resource to provide the desired resource ability exceeds the ability of the requested resource to provide the desired resource ability, the intermediary server instructs a resource server to send the alternative resource instead of the requested resource to the client computer.

Providing an optimal resource to a client computer via interactive dialog

In an aspect of the present disclosure, a method for providing an alternate modality of input for filling a form field in response to a failure of voice recognition is disclosed including prompting the user for information corresponding to a field of a form, generating speech data by capturing a spoken response of the user to the prompt using at least one input device, attempting to convert the speech data to text, determining that the attempted conversion has failed, evaluating the failure using at least one speech rule, selecting, based on the evaluation, an alternate input modality to be used for receiving the information corresponding to the field of the form, receiving the information corresponding to the field of the form from the alternate input modality, and injecting the received information into the field of the form.

Cognitive intervention for voice recognition failure

An intermediary server receives a resource request for a requested resource from a client computer. The intermediary server responds to the resource request by initiating an interactive dialog between the intermediary server and the client computer, where the interactive dialog identifies a desired resource ability of the requested resource. The intermediary server identifies, based on responses to the interactive dialog from the client computer, an alternative resource that best meets the desired resource ability, wherein the requested resource and the alternative resource are a same type of resource, and wherein the interactive dialog uses an interactive exchange that interprets interactive dialog responses from the client computer in order to identify the desired resource ability and the alternative resource that best meets the desired resource ability and then instructs a resource server to send the alternative resource to the client computer.
