Title: Apparatus for treating disorders of the sinuses
Inventor: GOLDFARB ERIC A
IPC: A61B17/24
Filed: 2011-08-31
Granted: 2015-11-12
Abstract: A medical device for the treatment of a sinus opening includes a handle, a grooming sheath, a rail, a guide wire, a balloon catheter and a balloon catheter movement mechanism. The handle has a proximal end, a distal end and a longitudinal axis along the length of the handle. The grooming sheath has a distal end and a proximal end with the proximal end of the grooming sheath being attached to the distal end of the handle. The rail has a distal end and a proximal end and disposed partially within the grooming sheath to define an annular lumen is between the rail and the grooming sheath. The guide wire operatively extends from the distal end of the rail and the balloon catheter is disposed at least partially in the handle and annular lumen. The balloon catheter movement mechanism operatively disposed on the handle and configured for advancement and retraction of the balloon catheter through both the handle and the annular lumen and along both the rail and guide wire by user operation of the balloon catheter movement mechanism. A method for treating a sinus opening includes inserting a medical device for the treatment of a sinus opening partially into a patient's anatomy and then positioning a guide wire operatively extending from a rail of a medical device into a sinus opening of the patient. The method further includes advancing a balloon catheter from an annular lumen of the medical device and along both the rail of the medical device and the guide wire. The method also includes treating the sinus opening via inflation of the balloon catheter. In the method, the annular lumen is between the rail and a grooming sheath of the medical device and the advancing is accomplished via user operation of a balloon catheter movement mechanism of the medical device.

Title: Differential interference contrast serial time encoded amplified microscopy
Inventor: JALALI BAHRAM
IPC: G01B9/02
Filed: 2011-06-21
Granted: 2014-06-12
Abstract: We describe methods and apparatus for high-speed high-contrast imaging one-, two- and three-dimensional imaging enabled by differential interference contrast time encoded amplified microscopy of transparent media without the need for chemical staining, that are suitable for a broad range of applications from semiconductor process monitoring to blood screening. Our methods and apparatus build on a unique combination of serial time-encoded amplified microscopy (STEAM) and differential interference contrast (DIC) microscopy. These methods and apparatus are ideally suited for identification of rare diseased cells in a large population of healthy cells and have the potential to revolutionize blood analysis and pathology including identification of cancer cells, such as Circulating Tumor Cells (CTC) in early stage disease.

Title: Learning tags for video annotation using latent subtags
Inventor: TODERICI GEORGE
IPC: G06K17/00
Filed: 2011-11-10
Granted: 2015-01-22
Abstract: A tag learning module trains video classifiers associated with a stored set of tags derived from textual metadata of a plurality of videos, the training based on features extracted from training videos. Each of the tag classifiers is comprised of a plurality of subtag classifiers relating to latent subtags within the tag. The latent subtags can be initialized by clustering co watch information relating to the videos for a tag. After initialization to identify subtag groups, a subtag classifier can be trained on features extracted from each subtag group. Iterative training of the subtag classifiers can be accomplished by identifying the latent subtags of a training set using the subtag classifiers, then iteratively improving the subtag classifiers by training each subtag classifier with the videos designated as conforming closest to that subtag.

Title: An external defibrillator
Inventor: NAVARRO-PAREDES CESAR OSWALDO
IPC: A61N1/39
Filed: 2011-11-25
Granted: 2016-04-28
Abstract: An external defibrillator includes patient electrodes (20) for obtaining the patient's electrocardiogram (ECG) and for applying a shock to the patient. A microprocessor (24) analyses the patient's ECG using a diagnostic algorithm to detect if the patient's heart is in a shockable rhythm, and shock delivery circuitry (10) is enabled when a shockable rhythm is detected by the diagnostic algorithm. The patient electrodes also allow obtaining a signal (Z) which is a measure of the patient's transthoracic impedance and the microprocessor is responsive to Z to detect conditions likely to cause the diagnostic algorithm to generate a false detection of a shockable rhythm. If such detection is made, the microprocessor prevents detection of a shockable rhythm by the diagnostic algorithm, at least for a period of time.

Abstract: A peer-to-peer communication system using a direct link setup (DLS) is disclosed. A mobile station (STA) establishes a direct communication link with another STA by sending a message requesting a DLS to an access point (AP), (i.e., a centralized controller). The AP may accept or reject the DLS request based on channel measurements. If the DLS request is accepted, the DLS is established such that the STAs may directly communicate with each other. An established DLS connection may be torn down by the AP sending a message including a DLS teardown request to one of the STAs, or based on channel measurements. The system may be an AD hoc network including a plurality of STAs without an AP where each STA maintains a database of one-hop and two hop STAs, and establishes a direct link to other STAs after informing neighboring STAs of an intention to establish a direct communication link. 114 -.- 106 a o w 108- 1~)zo E 12a QSTA I 10b QT co ~ FG 1U o ;

Abstract: FRAUD PROTECTION FOR ONLINE AND NFC PURCHASES [0092] A fraud protection application can allow a user to safely purchase goods without a physical account verifier such as a credit card. These types of purchases are common when purchasing items online and also when making NFC purchases. The purchaser can install a Fraud Prevention Application on a device that can recognize that the purchaser is using their device to make a purchase making a transaction. The application can initiate an independent connection with the financial institution's server and submit to the server verification data to validate the purchase. In response, the server can compare the data with identification data previously submitted by that purchaser's device and also with transaction data submitted by the merchant. If the verification data is validated then the server can approve the purchase and the transaction may proceed. If the verification data is not validated then the FPA can cause refuse the transaction.
