No to all questions...er, that doesn't make sense (it did at one point in the writing of this;-). QUI is pronounced as you would say the letters q and e, so phonetically something like this: kyooee. I am pretty sure that's not the French pronunciation of the word, so no it's not French. It actually stands for QT GUI, although I came up with that after the fact. Originally I just took the acronym GUI and replaced the first letter with Q for QT. And to answer my own question: nobody cares!:-)

No. There is no law in Tennessee stating that a doctor must "pronounce," or attend the death of someone. Tennessee allows this pronouncement to be made by anyone recognizing that a death has occurred. In other words, the body of the deceased does not have to go to an emergency room to be pronounced dead. Following this pronouncement you are required by law to report the death in accordance with the information in Question #1 above. No. See similar questions...

The time from the filing of a qui tam action until its resolution varies greatly from case to case. One should, however, be prepared for a qui tam action to take years, sometimes as many as five or more. with other complex federal civil litigation, after the complaint is served on the defendant, a qui tam action often becomes mired in contentious, costly, and time-consuming discovery and motions. On top of this, of course, there may be a trial and appeals. See similar questions...

ODEP stands for Output Device Emulator Protection. ODEP is an analog computer simulation of the output device thermal impedance. In layman's terms ODEP stores how much power the amplifier delivers to its load and its heatsink temperature. If the protection circuit determines that the output stage is being overstressed or cannot dissipate any further heat, then output stage drive is limited (Also see the FAQ, "What is TLC?" below).

This was done after years of discussion that the full name was not person-first language and perpetuated the very stigma we hope to erase. See similar questions...
