Inventor: GIBIANSKY EKATERINA
IPC: A61K31/445
Filed: 2006-07-11
Abstract: A dosage of a propofol prodrug needed for inducing mild to moderate sedation levels in a patient is calculated based on a patient's lean body mass. It has been discovered dosages based on gross body mass may result in overdosing, particularly for obese patients. In another aspect, a dosage suitable for inducing mild to moderate sedation levels in a patient who is at least 60 years of age is determined. A weight- appropriate dosage for the patient is determined and then adjusted by an age-based factor. For example, the dosage needed to produce a sedated state or other effect in a patient who is 60 years of age or older may be about 0.6 - 0.8 times the dosage needed to produce a corresponding effect in a younger patient of the same weight.

Patent CA-2618472-A1 (CA)
Title: System and method for ray tracing with depth buffered display
Inventor: MINOR BARRY
IPC: G06T15/40
Filed: 2006-07-26
Abstract: A system and method for generating an image that includes ray traced pixel data and rasterized pixel data is presented. A synergistic processing unit (SPU) uses a rendering algorithm to generate ray traced data for objects that require high-quality image rendering. The ray traced data is fragmented, whereby each fragment includes a ray traced pixel depth value and a ray traced pixel color value. A rasterizer compares ray traced pixel depth values to corresponding rasterized pixel depth values, and overwrites ray traced pixel data with rasterized pixel data when the corresponding rasterized fragment is "closer" to a viewing point, which results in composite data. A display subsystem uses the resultant composite data to generate an image on a user's display.

Title: Use of multiple speech recognition software instances
Inventor: KOWITZ MICKEY W
IPC: G10L11/00
Filed: 2006-08-09
Abstract: A wireless communication device is disclosed that accepts recorded audio data from an end-user. The audio data can be in the form of a command requesting user action. Likewise, the audio data can be text to be converted into a text file.  The audio data is reduced to a digital voice file in a format that is supported by the device hardware, such as a.wav,.mp3,.vnf file, or the like. The digital voice file is sent via secured or unsecured wireless communication to one or more server computers for further processing. In accordance with an important aspect of the invention, the system evaluates the confidence level of the speech recognition process. If the confidence level is high, the system automatically builds the application command or creates the text file for transmission to the communication device. Alternatively, if the confidence of the speech recognition is lower, the recorded audio data file is routed to a human transcriber employed by the telecommunications service, who manually reviews the digital voice file and builds the application command or text file. Once the application command is created, it is transmitted to the communication device. As a result of the present invention, speech recognition in the context of communications devices has been shown to be accurate over 90% of the time.
