Title: Method, program and product edition system for visualizing objects displayed on a computer screen
Inventor: HELBLING MARC
IPC: G06T19/20
Filed: 2010-04-14
Abstract: This invention id directed to a method, a program and a production edition system of visualization of objects in a scene. The method according to the invention aims at indicating a distance between objects by modifying (S30) a property (like a rendering property) of a target object according to a distance to an active object.  Typically, a light source is simulated and attached at the active object and the scene is accordingly modified dynamically (S30 - S50). Such a method bypasses the basic materialization of the distance between objects. Hence, no display of extrinsic elements is mandatory and possible interferences are prevented. In addition, the method allows, by definition, a progressive modification of e.g. a rendering of the target object. Thus, modifications in the scene are better understood by the user and ergonomics are improved.
Patent CA-2701593-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ROTHENBERGER DAVID C
IPC: G01S13/08
Filed: 2010-04-28
Abstract: In a reflection type proximity detector or method, a controller calculates a calibration value based on ambient conditions with the transmitter off and then performs tests. In each test, the calibration value is added to and subtracted from a measured value taken with the transmitter in one state (on or off) and a second measured value is then taken and compared with this range. In tests where the transmitter is switched from off to on between the measurements and the second value exceeds the range, and tests where the transmitter is switched from on to off between the measurements and the second value is below the range, an object is detected. When the transmitter does not switch states between the measurements, and the second value is less than or greater than the range, then no object is detected, as the change in measured value likely resulted from an outside signal.

Abstract: A system and method for the treatment of mitral valve regurgitation by- reshaping the mitral valve annulus using one or more plications of annular or adjacent tissue each fixed by a retainer is described. The system includes four devices to achieve such percutaneous direct plication annuloplasty. The first is a crossing catheter having a prolapseable or curved tip. Second, a deflecting guide catheter is used to provide a means for guiding the plication device (400) into proper position at the subvalvular region of the mitral valve annulus. Third, the plication device is then used to make plications in the subvalvular region of the mitral valve annulus. Fourth, a "C" shaped retainer (500) with deformable ends is deployed by the plication device in order to retain the plicated tissue in the plicated form. A transseptal approach may be used to plicate and retain tissue on the atrial side of the mitral valve to achieve a reduction in mitral valve regurgitation.

Title: Highly scalable network environment for managing remote devices
Inventor: FORD JAMES O
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2008-11-07
Abstract: A highly scalable primary server is provided to serve an increasing number of users and remote devices. Instead of communicating with a primary server using an expensive communication protocol, a remote device communicates with a secondary server using a less expensive protocol to determine whether the primary server desires to communicate control instructions to the remote device. When the primary server has a request to control the remote device, the primary server creates a table entry to the secondary server to notify the remote device of a request to communicate. Upon polling the secondary server and learning of the created table entry, the remote device establishes a communication connection with the primary server to receive the instructions for controlling the remote device. In this manner, the demand for resources needed for communication with the primary server is significantly reduced.

Abstract: Techniques for sending information in a wireless network are described. The network may support (i) regular subframes used to send unicast information and (ii) multicast/broadcast single frequency network (MBSFN) subframes used to send broadcast information and having lower overhead than the regular subframes. In an aspect, MBSFN subframes may be used to mitigate interference. A first base station may cause high interference to stations (e.g., UEs) served by a second base station. The first base station may reserve a subframe for the second base station, send system information conveying the reserved subframe as an MBSFN subframe to its stations, and transmit in a first part of the reserved subframe in accordance with an MBSFN subframe format. The second base station may skip the first part and may send unicast information to its stations in the remaining part of the reserved subframe. In another aspect, MBSFN subframes may be used to support additional base station capabilities.
