Abstract: The invention is directed to an imaging device and a method of operating the imaging device, which will reduce banding in the image caused by parasitic capacitance. The imaging device comprises an array of pixels arranged in rows and columns and column signal lines adapted to be selectively coupled to the rows of pixels at predetermined times. Each pixel element has a photodetector coupled to a reset switch for receiving a reset signal to reset the photodetector. The imaging device further includes a precharge circuit adapted to place a voltage on the column signal lines. The method of operating the imaging device includes the steps of applying a precharge voltage to the signal lines, resetting the photodetectors in a row, integrating the photodetector voltage as light impinges on the reset photodetectors, coupling the integrated photodetectors to the signal lines, and sampling the integrated voltage coupled to each of the signal lines. When the double sampling technique is used, the steps further include resetting the photodetectors and sampling the photodetector reset voltages on the signal lines. The precharge voltage is applied to signal lines during the integration period of the photodetectors and is disconnected from a signal line during sampling.

Abstract: Methods and devices for improving ventricular contractile status of a patient suitably exploit changes in ventricular pressure and/or dP/dtmax to provide and/or optimize a response to a patient. The ventricular pressure may be appropriately correlated to intracellular calcium regulation, which is indicative of contractile status. To assess ventricular contractile status, the device (100) suitably observes a cardiac perturbation of the patient and measures force interval potentiation following the perturbation. The contractile potentiation can then be stored and/or quantified in the implantable medical device (100) to determine the ventricular contractile status of the patient, and an appropriate response may be provided to the patient as a function of the ventricular contractile status. Examples of responses may include administration of drug or neuro therapies, modification of a pacing rate, or the like. Force interval potentiation may also be used to optimize or improve a parameter for a response provided by the implantable medical device (100).

IPC: B23K9/007
Filed: 2005-04-22
Abstract: A system or method of repairing railroad rails which includes a head, upright and base sections. The method includes at least the following steps:  identifying and locating a defect in the rail, removing the defect by removing material from the rail surrounding the defect in at least the head section so as to form a void and a rail void interface while maintaining continuity of the rail, filling the void with molten metal having a high carbon content and causing the molten metal and the rail void interface to bond. The molten metal may be produced by gas shielded arc welding. The carbon content of the molten metal is near that of the rail to decrease carbon migration from the rails.  High carbon welding electrode is used in the welding of high strength steel using gas shielded arc welding techniques whereby a plurality of beads of molten weld material join together rail ends or fill a slot in a rail for repair purposes, the high carbon electrode avoiding adjacent soft and brittle areas across a weld fusion line which result from migration of carbon from the carbon rich high strength steel to the lower carbon weld deposit.

Abstract: Applications are generally represented in different forms as suits the environment in which they are evaluated. One disadvantage is that the processor of a device executing the application cannot recognize human readable form and therefore produces a complied machine readable format. In order to permit evaluation by a machine the original application content must be subjected to a conversion process, by which the representation of the application content can grow in size. In this state the content requires additional overhead in terms of storage space, but provides the better performance for execution. A system and method of dynamically hosting an application program on a wireless device. The application content is partitioned into a plurality of module envelopes, each of the module envelopes having a portion of the modules comprising the application. The method comprises initializing the loading of the application including referencing an application information structure, such that the structure comprises relational information of the module envelopes. The method selects one of the module envelopes from the plurality of the module envelopes according to the relational information. The method also configures a state of the selected module envelope according to a predefined envelope state, the envelope state being selected from a set of envelope states including at least two of a raw state, an offline state, and an executable state. The method also provides the configured module envelope to an application manager for changing the configuration of the application on the device according to the configured module envelope.

IPC: C07C7/20
Filed: 2004-12-14
Abstract: The present invention includes a method for inhibiting hydrate formation blockage in a flow line [40] used to transport hydrocarbon containing fluids.  Water is added [46] to a hydrocarbon containing fluid to produce a water cut enhanced hydrocarbon containing fluid [40]. Salt may be added to the hydrocarbon containing fluids as well. Hydrate formation blockage is inhibited from forming within the flow line by the addition of the water and/or the salt. A salt dispenser [53] may also be included which is used to increase the salinity of the hydrocarbon containing fluid. The system may further include a water separator [44] to separate hydrocarbons [48] from water [54] which receives fluids from the flow line. The flow line [40], water separator [44]  and water injection conduit [46] may cooperate to form a loop wherein water from the flow line may be separated by the water separator and a portion of the separated water [54] is delivered back to the water injection conduit [46]  to be reinjected into the flow line [40].
