Title: Method and apparatus for frame prediction in hybrid video compression to enable temporal scalability
Inventor: CHEN PEISONG
IPC: H04N7/36
Filed: 2005-04-07
Abstract: The invention is directed to a method and apparatus for providing temporal scaling frames for use in digital multimedia. The method involves using a removable unidirectional predicted temporal scaling frame communication alon g with intra-coded frames and/or inter-coded frames. The method involves the ability to selectively remove the temporal scaling frame(s) from being transmitted or decoded in order to satisfy, for example, power limits, data rate limits, computational limits or channel conditions. Examples presented include encoders, transcoders and decoders where the decision to drop the removable temporal scaling frames could be made.

Inventor: WESTWICK JOHN K
IPC: C12P21/00
Filed: 2005-09-22
Abstract: The screening system utilizes dynamic measurements of pathway activity to detect the activities of drugs within cellular pathways. The methods of the invention can be used to identify previously unknown drug activities and therapeutic uses, even for drugs that have been well characterized with standard biochemical assays. We demonstrated the utility of the invention by screening a portion of the known pharmacopeia. We identified dozens of drugs, previously or currently marked for a variety of indications, with surprising and previously-unsuspected activity against ~hallmark~ cancer pathways. We also showed that over 20 of these drugs indeed have anti-proliferative activity in human tumor cells, underscoring the utility and predictability of the screening system. The methodology will extend the utility of the current pharmacopeia and provide the basis for de novo discovery of drugs with a broad range of therapeutic indications.

Inventor: BROOKS DAVID M
IPC: A61M5/145
Filed: 2005-10-12
Abstract: A dual head contrast media injection system performs a patency check or test injection, determining flow rate and/or flow volume from the programmed protocol. The tubing that connects syringes to a patient shares only a short common section near to the patient. Appropriate injection steps are taken to compensate for tubing elasticity. A wireless remote control and a touch screen control are provided, improving functionality and information delivery. The display brightness is controlled based on the ambient light, and the display panel includes a double swivel permitting re-orientation. The orientation of the display may also be controlled based on, e.g., the current step, the tilt angle of the powerhead, or a manual control. Furthermore, the display is customizable to identify the type of fluid (contrast, saline, etc.) on either side of the injector, to provide matched color coding, and to provide a folder/tab analogy for retrieving injection protocol parameters.

Patent CA-2585896-A1 (CA)
Inventor: FONTAINE JAMES R
IPC: F16K1/30
Filed: 2007-04-23
Abstract: A cap for closing a sprayer tank has integrated therein a pressure relief valve having a tubular member providing a seat with respect to which a valve provided by an o-ring on a stem is displaced in a direction against the seat to close the valve. The stem is connected at one end thereof to a cap and is biased by a spring around the stem at the opposite end thereof into closing position. The cap is guided by a rim around the seat member. The cap defines around the stem a chamber. This chamber communicates with a spout which directs pressurized flow away from the cap when it is rotated to manually open the valve against the bias of the spring so as to relieve pressure in the tank. The passageway provided by the spout and the chamber is much larger than the passageway around the rim of the cap so that substantially all of the pressurized flow is diverted by this snout away from the fingers of the person grasping the cap at ears providing wings on the cap for rotating the cap to displace the valve to open position.

Patent CA-2602530-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BUTTERFIELD ROBERT D
IPC: G01K7/42
Filed: 2006-03-24
Abstract: A thermometer system and method that rapidly predict body temperature based on the temperature signals received from a temperature sensing probe when it comes into contact with the body. A nonlinear, multi-parameter curve fitting process is performed and depending on the errors in the curve fit, parameters are changed or a prediction of the temperature is made. Criteria exist for the differences between the curve fit and the temperature data. The processor switches to a Continuous Monitor State if the curve fit over a limited number of time frames is unacceptable. Determining the start time on which the measurement time frame for prediction is based is performed by tissue contact threshold coupled with a prediction time delay.

Abstract: Techniques for forming cast parts for medical devices suitable for contact with internal regions of patients are described herein. Such parts can be small in scale (e.g., having a major axis less than 0.3 inches, and/or a minor axis less than about 0.08 inches), and can be formed from metals that have a high melting point and high reactivity with environmental components or mold surfaces, such as stainless steel and titanium alloys. Such techniques can include injecting molten metal into the sprue of a mold tree such that the side runners are backfilled after the molten metal impacts a closed end of the sprue. Side runners can be oriented in particular directions and positions to promote backfilling. As well, flask temperatures and the use of surfactants can also promote cast part formation, hindering the formation of surface defects.

Abstract: Example embodiments allow a local network client to access information about a shared gateway to determine its actual amount of bandwidth consumption. The client can also obtain the total capacity of such shared gateway. Using its knowledge of its own bandwidth consumption, it can determine the other local network clients' usage of the shared gateway. With all of this information, i.e., total capacity of the shared gateway, the actual usage of the shared gateway, and the usage by other clients within the local network, the client can adjust or throttle background file transfers in order to keep the actual data transfers across the shared gateway within a reasonable percentage of the total capacity available. That is, a client will give priority to other local network computing machines' usage of the shared gateway by adjusting data transfers for its own background transfer system based on usage across a shared gateway
