A business performance tagging module system and its operations are described herein. In some embodiments, the operations can include detecting an event associated with business-related content and evaluating the business-related content against a plurality of tags associated with a plurality of key performance indicators responsive to said detecting the event associated with the business-related content. The operations can further include determining that a set of the plurality of tags corresponds to the business-related content based, at least in part, on said evaluating the business-related content against the plurality of tags, and selecting a set of the plurality of key performance indicators associated with the set of the plurality of tags. The operations can further include presenting computational representations of the set of the plurality of key performance indicators via a user interface responsive to said selecting the set of the plurality of key performance indicators.

A touch screen device comprising a display screen, an electromagnetic digitizer disposed behind the display screen for detecting stylus proximity and stylus coordinates, and an infrared touch device secured in front of the display screen for detecting the coordinates of an infrared opaque object. The touch screen device also includes a controller in electronic communication with the electromagnetic digitizer and the infrared touch device. The controller provides an output signal based upon the infrared opaque object coordinates detected by the infrared touch device during periods of time that the electromagnetic digitizer is not detecting stylus proximity and provides an output signal based upon the stylus coordinates detected by the electromagnetic digitizer during periods of time that the electromagnetic digitizer is detecting stylus proximity. The touch screen device may be used in conjunction with a point-of-sale terminal providing a signal to the display screen and receiving the output signals from the controller.

There is disclosed a process for producing sterilized prefilled plastic syringes avoiding plastic deformation and distortion. The plastic barrels are subjected to repeated water jet washing steps to remove contaminants and depyrogenate the barrels. Tip seals and pistons are subjected to washing, autoclaving and rinsing steps to remove contaminants and depyrogenate. After the tip is assembled on the nozzle of the barrel, the barrel is filled with contrast media through its open end, after which the piston is assembled in the open end to seal the syringe and its contents. The assembled and sealed syringe is then subjected to autoclaving to sterilize the syringe and its contents, without deformation of the plastic syringe or a loss of integrity to the closed media/syringe system.

There is disclosed a process for producing sterilized prefilled plastic syringes avoiding plastic deformation and distortion. The plastic barrels are subjected to repeated water jet washing steps to remove contaminants and depyrogenate the barrels. Tip seals and pistons are subjected to removal of debris and pyrogens and destruction of microbial contaminants. After the tip is assembled on the nozzle of the barrel, the barrel is filled with contrast media through its open end, after which the piston is assembled in the open end to seal the syringe and its contents. The assembled and sealed syringe is then subjected to autoclaving to sterilize the syringe and its contents, without deformation of the plastic syringe or a loss of integrity to the closed media/syringe system.
