Title: Methods for controlling one or more parameters of a flow cytometer type measurement system
Inventor: ROTH WAYNE D
IPC: G01N15/14
Filed: 2004-08-13
Abstract: Various methods for controlling one or more parameters of a flow cytometer type measurement system are provided. One embodiment includes monitoring parameter(s) of the measurement system during measurements of sample microspheres. The method also includes altering the parameter(s) in real time based on the monitoring. Another method includes monitoring a temperature proximate to the measurement system. One such method includes altering a bias voltage of an avalanche photo diode in response to the temperature using empirically derived data. A different such method includes altering output signals of a photomultiplier tube in response to the temperature using a characteristic curve. Some methods include monitoring a temperature of a fluid, in which sample microspheres are disposed, that will flow through the flow cytometer type measurement system. This method also includes determining a velocity of the sample microspheres in the measurement system from a viscosity of the fluid at the temperature.

Title: High-performance network content analysis platform
Inventor: SAVCHUK GENE
IPC: H04L12/24
Filed: 2004-09-09
Abstract: One implementation of a method reassembles complete client-server conversation streams, applies decoders and/or decompressors, and analyzes the resulting data stream using multi-dimensional content profiling and/or weighted keyword-in-context. The method may detect the extrusion of the data, for example, even if the data has been modified from its original form and/or document type. The decoders may also uncover hidden transport mechanisms such as, for example, e-mail attachments. The method may further detect unauthorized (e.g., rogue) encrypted sessions and stop data transfers deemed malicious. The method allows, for example, for building 2 Gbps (Full-Duplex)-capable extrusion prevention machines.

Title: Frame based audio transmission/storage with overlap to facilitate smooth crossfading
Inventor: GUNDRY KENNETH JAMES
IPC: G11B20/24
Filed: 2004-11-04
Abstract: Method for splicing PCM audio frames form modified frames by appending to each frame either a portion of the next preceding frame or the next following frame. According to a first approach, splices are obtained by fading up and fading down a frame end and a frame appendage only at a splice point, and overlapping and combining to provide a crossfade at the splice. Alternatively, every frame end and frame appendage is faded up and faded down, overlapped and combined. A subtractive method of providing complementary fade-up and fade-down reduces rounding errors.

Title: Method of preventing the induction of aberrations in laser refractive surgery systems
Inventor: CANO REOL DANIEL
IPC: A61B3/107
Filed: 2005-06-09
Abstract: The invention relates to a method of preventing the induction of aberrations in laser refractive surgery systems. Standard laser refractive surgery systems successfully correct low-order refractive errors (myopia, hypermetropia and astigmatism), but induce spherical aberration and, by extension, other high-order aberrations, which result in a worsening of vision quality. Said increase in spherical aberration is due to the shape of the cornea, and not inherent in the theoretical ablation profile, and, as a result, the problem is, in principle, common to all laser systems. The invention relates to a systematic method which can be used with any system and ablation profile in order to obtain a profile correction factor. The correction factor, which is specific to each system, can be applied in order to prevent the induction of spherical aberration and, in this way, improve the optical and visual quality of patients following surgery compared to surgery performed with standard systems. Moreover, the inventive method can be used to improve the production of lenses with controlled high-order aberrations which are formed using laser systems.

Abstract: A forward link (FL) RLP and a reverse link (RL) RLP that are different in design are used for data transmission on the forward and reverse links, respectively. The asymmetric RLP designs may be quantified by, e.g., different feedback mechanisms and/or different data transmission mechanisms used for these RLPs. The FL RLP may utilize a negative acknowledgment (NAK)-based feedback mechanism whereas the RL RLP may utilize an acknowledgment (ACK)-based feedback mechanism. The NAK-based FL RLP may transmit each RLP frame once in sequential order and retransmit RLP frames out of sequence when not received correctly. The ACK-based RL RLP may transmit RLP frames in sequential order, one frame at a time until the frame is received correctly or the maximum number of transmissions have been attempted. Timers with adaptive values computed based on actual traffic conditions may be used to facilitate data transmission by the NAK-based FL RLP.

The video processor may be configured to normalize, stabilize, orient and/or stitch the image data received from each image sensor so as to generate the composite image. Preferably, the video processor stitches the image data received from each image sensor by processing a portion of image data received from one image sensor that overlaps with a portion of image data received from another image sensor.  Alternatively, the surgical device may be, e.g., a circular stapler, that includes a first part, e.g., a DLU portion, having an image sensor a second part, e.g., an anvil portion, that is moveable relative to the first @0rt. The second @0rt includes an arrangement, e.g., a bore extending therethrough, for conveying the image to the image sensor. The arrangement enables the image to be received by the image sensor without removing the surgical device from the surgical site.
