Title: Grid and rotatable cube guide localization fixture for biopsy device
Inventor: HIBNER JOHN A
IPC: A61B10/02
Filed: 2007-04-27
Granted: 2016-10-11
Abstract: A biopsy system with a grid plate used as either a lateral or medial compression plate of a localization fixture used with a breast coil includes a rotatable guide cube that may be inserted into a desired rectangular recess in the grid plate after rotating to position a selected guide hole in the desired spatial orientation. Versions of a guide cube include those rotatable in two axes to provide additional hole positions, angled holes, enlarged circular holes that function with a rotating guide to support a noncircular biopsy instrument cannula (e.g., trocar / sleeve combination, core biopsy probe of a biopsy device) for rotation. A rotating guide may have an unlocked state for easily sliding to a selected longitudinal position thereon. Thereafter, the rotating guide is locked to serve as a positive depth stop (e.g., quarter turn locking elastomeric rings, triangular and scissor clips, and shutter depth stops).

Patent CA-2589606-C (CA)
Title: Method for producing amino- or hydroxybenzonitriles
Inventor: MOELLER ROLAND
IPC: C07C253/34
Filed: 2005-11-29
Granted: 2012-10-16
Abstract: What is claimed is a process for preparing amino- or hydroxybenzonitriles, in which, in the course of an ammonolysis, the corresponding amino- or hydroxybenzoic acid compounds are reacted with ammonia in the presence of a supported catalyst comprising phosphate at temperatures between 250°C    and 500°C. The actual preparation step is performed in a reaction gas (mixture) and without involvement of an organic solvent, and is followed by an at least 2--stage purification step. In this purification step, the gaseous mixture obtained from the preparation step is first converted to an aqueous basic suspension and then the product present in the solid is released from this suspension. The main advantage of this combination process is that the starting materials are not esters, which is why the resulting products, in contrast to the processes which are otherwise customary, are free of the by-products which are otherwise customary, which leads to a high product purity. The process claimed can additionally be performed in an extremely economically viable manner, since the end product and the by-products are present in different states of matter in the suspension used and can therefore be separated easily from one another.  In this way, solvent-free amino- or hydroxyl-containing benzonitriles are obtained in high yield and significantly improved product quality.

Title: Thermally switched optical downconverting filter
Inventor: MCCARTHY WIL
IPC: G02F2/00
Filed: 2008-01-24
Granted: 2011-04-19
Abstract: A thermally switched optical downconverting (TSOD) filter (100) is a self-regulating device including a downconverter (102) that converts incoming light at a variety of wavelengths into longer-wavelength radiation and then directs it using one or more bandblock filters (101, 103) in either the inward or outward direction, depending on the temperature of the device. This control over the flow of radiant energy occurs independently of the thermal conductivity or insulating properties of the device and may or may not preserve the image and color properties of incoming visible light. The TSOD  filter (100) has energy-efficiency implications, as it can be used to regulate the internal temperature and illumination of buildings, vehicles, and other structures without the need for an external power supply or operator signals. The TSOD filter (100) also has aesthetic implications, since the device has unique optical properties that are not found in traditional windows, skylights, stained glass, light fixtures, glass blocks, bricks, or walls. The TSOD filter (100) has particular, but not exclusive, application as a building material.

Title: Creating templates of offline resources
Inventor: ARAUJO NELSON S JR
IPC: G06F17/00
Filed: 2007-02-21
Granted: 2015-12-29
Abstract: Implementations of the present invention allow software resources to be duplicated efficiently and effectively while offline. In one implementation, a preparation program receives an identification of a software resource, such as a virtual machine installed on a different volume, an offline operating system, or an application program. The preparation program also receives an indication of customized indicia that are to be removed from the software resource. These indicia can include personalized information as well as the level of software updates, security settings, user settings or the like. Upon execution, the preparation program redirects the function calls of the preparation program to the software resource at the different volume (or even the same volume) while the software resource is not running. The preparation program thus can thus creates a template of the software resource in a safe manner without necessarily affecting the volume at which the preparation program runs.

Abstract: Techniques for supporting network-initiated location services for a terminal are described. A location server may not be able to reach the terminal in a normal manner in certain operating scenarios. The terminal may perform registration with the location server if the terminal determines that it may not be reachable by the location server in the normal manner. For the registration, the terminal may identify itself to the location server, instigate mutual authentication of the terminal and the location server, and provide an Internet Protocol (IP) address of the terminal to the location server. The terminal may perform registration with the location server whenever the IP address changes and/or periodically whenever a timer expires. The terminal may set the timer to a value received from the location server. The location server may use the IP address to send messages to the terminal for network-initiated location services.
