Title: Anatomically shaped vasoocclusive devices
Inventor: PHAM PETE PHONG
IPC: B29C53/76
Filed: 1996-09-27
Granted: 2000-12-12
Abstract: This is a vasoocclusive device which, as used, is in the approximate shape of an anatomical cavity.  It may be deployed as a sphere, an ovoid, or other distorted spherical shape.  The device is a self-forming shape made from a pre-formed vasoocclusion member.  Prior to deployment, the vasoocclusive device is sufficiently straight that it is able to be pushed from a vascular catheter without excessive friction.  The vasoocclusion member may be a small helical coil or braid variously comprising a suitable metal, or, in the case of a braid, such metal may be co-woven with various polymeric or natural fibers.  Fibers may be introduced onto the device and affixed to the member.  The constituent member may be also be covered with a fibrous braid.  The device is typically introduced through a catheter.  The device is passed axially through the catheter sheath and assumes its form upon exiting the catheter without further action.  The invention also includes methods of winding the anatomically shaped vasoocclusive device into appropriately shaped forms and annealing them to form various devices.

Abstract: An acoustic signal receiving apparatus comprising a housing having an acoustically reflecting surface and a directional acoustic sensor unit having first-order gradient characteristics. The sensor unit is coupled to the housing with use of a retractable member having a retracted position and an extended position. When the member is extended, the sensor unit is positioned relative to the reflecting surface such that the acoustic interaction between the sensor unit and the reflecting surface causes the output of the sensor unit to have second-order gradient response characteristics. In accordance with one illustrative embodiment, in a notebook computer with a "flip-back" lid, the sensor element automatically extends to the desired position when the lid is opened, and automatically retracts to be flush with the housing surface when the lid is closed.

Abstract: Service de localisation de commerçant pour téléphones mobiles (40) intégré à un système de télécommunications mobiles (Fig. 1).  Lorsqu'un téléphone mobile lance un appel à un service de localisation de commerçant, un centre de commutation pour téléphones mobiles (MTSO 41) reconnaît, dans un ensemble de stations de base (20-23), celle par l'intermédiaire de laquelle s'effectue cet appel.  Un appareil (43-45) de service de localisation de commerçant utilise alors cette reconnaissance de la station de base, au lieu de se servir du numéro du téléphone mobile appelant, pour déterminer, à partir d'une base de données de localisation de commerçant (300-301), quel emplacement commercial (30-33, 50-52) du distributeur se situe dans le voisinage de la station de base reconnue et, par conséquent, dans le voisinage du téléphone mobile appelant.  Cet appareil signale ensuite l'adresse de cet emplacement commercial à l'appelant et peut, s'il le souhaite, faire en sorte que le MTSO associe l'appel reçu au numéro de téléphone de cet emplacement commercial.  Pour programmer la base de données du service de localisation de commerçant, on peut appeler le service à partir de chacun des emplacements commerciaux du distributeur en utilisant à chaque fois sur place un téléphone mobile et en fournissant lors de cet appel l'adresse de l'emplacement et son numéro de téléphone.  L'appareil enregistre alors ces données dans la base de données en les associant à la station de base par l'intermédiaire de laquelle cet appel a été effectué.

Title: Optical inspection of transparent containers using two cameras and a single light source
Inventor: NICKS TIMOTHY J
IPC: G01N21/21
Filed: 1999-05-04
Granted: 2005-12-20
Abstract: Apparatus for inspecting a container for variations that affect commercial acceptability of the container that includes a light source for directing diffuse polarized light energy through a container while the container is rotated about its axis. A first camera is disposed to receive diffuse polarized light energy transmitted from the light source through a portion of the container, so that the first camera receives an image of the container portion in which opaque variations appear dark against an otherwise bright background.      A second camera receives light energy transmitted from the light source through substantially the same portion of the container, and includes a polarizer at cross-orientation to the polarizer at the light source. The second camera receives a bright image of stress variations in the container, which alter polarization of the diffuse polarized light energy passing through the container, against an otherwise dark background. An image processor is coupled to both of the cameras to scan associated images of the container portion viewed by the cameras for detecting and distinguishing between and among variations in the container as a function of a pixel by pixel comparison between the two images.

Inventor: BAUER ROLF
IPC: G06F15/177

Granted: 2006-10-17
Abstract: The subject of the invention is a method for assigning tasks for processing received from one or several client data processing nodes (C1 through C5) within a group of at least two server data processing nodes (S1 through S4) to one of the server data processing nodes (S2), as well as a server data processing system, a client data processing node and a machine-readable storage medium for carrying out this process. A client data processing node (C2) that has a task to assign, first selects the server data processing node from the group that is the next server data processing node to be selected based on a predefined cyclical order. If the server data processing node that is selected first denies the processing of the task, the client data processing node randomly selects a different server data processing node for processing the task. Otherwise, the client data processing node assigns the task to the selected server data processing node.
