Abstract: A method and apparatus for the early detection of tissue pathology using wavelet decomposition, such as Cardiomyopathy, for the early detection and diagnosis of disease using multi-dimensional non-invasive imaging techniques. The apparatus for early detection of tissue pathology includes a tissue texture quantifier apparatus having a wavelet decomposer (150d) for decomposing a region-of-interest (ROI) of a digitized image of anatomical tissue into vertical, horizontal and diagonal detail coefficients and a tissue pathology evaluator having a standard reference model.      The tissue texture quantifier further includes a wavelet calculator (150e) to calculate the energy content for each of the vertical detail coefficient, the horizontal detail coefficient and the diagonal detail coefficient. Moreover, the tissue texture quantifier includes a summer (150f) for summing the energy content of the vertical detail coefficient, the horizontal detail coefficient and the diagonal detail coefficient and a normalizer (150g) for normalizing all energy content and the summed energy content.

Title: Ring contact for rotatable connection of switch assembly for use in a surgical system
Inventor: COOK ROBERT G
IPC: A61B17/00
Filed: 2001-10-17
Granted: 2010-06-29
Abstract: The present invention provides a surgical handpiece having a switch end cap detachably and rotatably connected to the handpiece body. A surgical instrument is inserted within the handpiece body so that a portion thereof extends beyond the handpiece body and is actuated to perform a surgical operation. The switch end cap includes a switch mechanism having one or more switch button members for selectively signaling the level of power to be delivered to the handpiece from a power source. According to one aspect of the present invention, the switch mechanism within the switch end cap is electrically connected to the handpiece body in such a manner that permits the switch end cap to be freely rotated about the handpiece body, while still maintaining the electrical connection therebetween. This is accomplished by having conductive finger members and complementary conductive members provide the electrical connection between the switch end cap and the handpiece body. This permits a user to position the switch end cap in a desired location relative to the handpiece body and the instrument.

Title: Apparatus for and method of secure atm debit card and credit card payment transactions via the internet
Inventor: HODGSON ROBERT B
IPC: G07F19/00
Filed: 2000-08-25
Granted: 2011-03-08
Abstract: The present invention is directed to a combination software and/or hardware system that provides consumers and merchants with a secure method for making and accepting credit card and ATM card payments over the Internet. Using various software and/or hardware implementations, the system operates by: 1) creating (at the consumer's Internet access device) a Data Encryption Standard (DES) encrypted Personal Identification Number (PIN) Block meeting American National Standards Institute (ANSI) X9.8 and Automatic Teller Machine (ATM) network requirements (as a result of the consumer entering their PIN number and encryption automatically taking place); 2) using additional layer(s) of encryption (also performed at the consumer's Internet access device) to place the PIN block and card information in a public key/private key encrypted financial payment transaction data block ("FP Block"); 3) transmitting the FP Block to the merchant, along with any necessary product or service order information, which may be transmitted over the Internet encrypted or in the clear according to the implementation method chosen by the system software at the merchant's web site; 4) software at the merchant location then forwards the FP Block to a secure transaction management system, where the FP Block is decrypted using a decryption algorithm matching that used by the software at the consumer's Internet access device. The financial data is then re-formatted for transmission to the appropriate transaction processing network, and forwarded to the payment service processor accordingly. The present invention is independent of the encryption algorithm(s) used, and may be implemented with any number of encryption algorithms.
