Title: Optimizing maldi mass spectrometer operation by sample plate image analysis
Inventor: BUI HUY A
IPC: H01J49/16
Filed: 2006-04-21
Granted: 2010-10-12
Abstract: A method and apparatus are described for performing image analysis of a sample target area on a MALDI sample plate to select laser impingement locations for optimal mass spectra acquisition. The target area image is captured and analyzed to determine the incidence distribution of picture element values (representative of luminance and/or chrominance information). A dynamic threshold value may be determined by constructing a virtual histogram and then identifying a value at which a local minimum occurs between modes of a bimodal distribution. The threshold value is applied to the picture elements to locate regions within the target area that possess desired visual characteristics, such as a high luminance indicative of a crystalline structure. Mass spectra acquisition may be optimized by directing the laser beam to impinge at only those regions that possess the desired visual characteristic. The mass spectrometer performance may be further improved by coupling the image analysis process to an auto-spectrum filtering technique, whereby the laser beam is selectively held at or moved from a region of the sample spot based on whether the resultant mass spectrum meets predetermined performance criteria.

Title: Handheld electronic device with text disambiguation employing advanced text case feature
Inventor: FUX VADIM
IPC: G06F3/01
Filed: 2006-04-04
Granted: 2012-02-07
Abstract: A handheld electronic device includes a reduced QWERTY keyboard and is enabled with disambiguation software. The device provides an improved text case feature. The device provides output in the form of a default output and a number of variants. The output is based largely upon the frequency, i.e., the likelihood that a user intended a particular output, but various features of the device provide additional variants that are not based solely on frequency and rather are provided by various logic structures resident on the device.  The device enables editing during text entry and also provides a learning function that allows the disambiguation function to adapt to provide a customized experience for the user. The disambiguation function can be selectively disabled and an alternate keystroke interpretation system provided. Additionally, the device can facilitate the selection of variants by displaying a graphic of a special <NEXT> key of the keypad that enables a user to progressively select variants generally without changing the position of the user's hands on the device. If a field into which text is being entered is determined to be a special input field, a disambiguated result can be sought first from a predetermined data source prior to seeking results from other data sources on the device.

Abstract: The present invention provides a process wherein a rotary knife or die, with one or more cutting edges, turns against and in coordination with a corresponding cylinder to create preferably trapezoidal ears. Ear material is slit into two lanes, one for a left side of a diaper and the other for a right side of a diaper. Fastening tapes are applied to both the right and the left ear webs. The ear material is then die cut with a nested pattern on a synchronized vacuum anvil. The resulting discrete ear pieces however, due to the trapezoidal pattern of the ears, alternate between a correct orientation and an incorrect (reversed) orientation. The reversed ear is required to be rotated 180° into the correct orientation such that the ears and associated tape present a left ear and a right ear on the diaper.

Abstract: There is described a continuity sensing system that operates with a resistance-welding machine. This sensing system measures continuity between the welding electrodes after the welding machine has been initiated and prevents application of high electrode force between the electrodes if the continuity measured is below a reference level. The result is a fully passive system that prevents serious high electrode force that would cause serious pinch- point injury to the operator of the welder. The present invention also includes methods of controlling pneumatic systems on resistance-welding machines to apply low force between welding electrodes until continuity between the welding electrodes has been detected.

Abstract: This invention relates to a building wall construction comprising of an already existing cement wall, plastic insulating panels, c-shaped fasteners and an interior framework composed of vertical studs and/or beams. The exterior faces of the panels are placed adjacent to the interior face of the cement wall. The insulating panels are comprised of equally spaced vertical channels along its length. Fasteners are placed inside the vertical channels and are used as the connecting element between the panels and the cement wall. The exterior faces of the studs or beams are then placed adjacent to the interior face of the fasteners. By having insulating panels between the fasteners and the studs or beams, this assures that no thermal bridge is created, thus better insulating the living space. The vertical channels allow for the fasteners and studs to be tightly nestled inside the insulating panels.
