A system for separating components from a slurry of drilling fluid and drill cuttings on a shaker screen having an upper side and a lower side within a shaker. The method includes receiving a medical test result for a type of medical test and, after making a threshold determination whether the medical test result will initially be automatically interpreted by the computer system independent of clinician input, identifying a template or set of templates associated with the type of medical test. Idleness synchronization may involve deferring bus transactions, suspending memory refresh, turning off power to clock sources and turning off power to combinatorial logic during an idle window in the OS schedule.
