20100303317 | Methods for Determining Meniscal Size and Shape and for Devising Treatment - The present invention relates to methods for determining meniscal size and shape for use in designing therapies for the treatment of various joint diseases. The invention uses an image of a joint that is processed for analysis. Analysis can include, for example, generating a thickness map, a cartilage curve, or a point cloud. This information is used to determine the extent of the cartilage defect or damage and to design an appropriate therapy, including, for example, an implant. Adjustments to the designed therapy are made to account for the materials used. | 12-02-2010 |

20160028802 | PEER-TO-PEER GROUP RE-FORMATION - Disclosed are peer-to-peer group re-formation techniques. The techniques enable automatic reformation of a peer-to-peer group when the Group Owner (“GO”) device is lost. To do so, the techniques enable selection of a one of the peer devices in the peer-to-peer group as a next GO device responsive to detecting the loss of the original GO device. Then, the peer device selected as the next GO device automatically activates as the GO device, while the other peer devices scan for and connect to the next GO device. | 01-28-2016 |
20160029279 | Wireless Communication Handover Profiles - In embodiments of wireless communication handover profiles, a profile manager is implemented on a communication-enabled device to detect that a signal strength of a wireless connection decreases to a signal-level threshold or lower. The profile manager then monitors the decreasing signal strength of the wireless connection, and compares the signal strength to a handover profile to determine when a handover of the wireless connection from one access point to another will likely occur. The profile manager can then transfer handover parameters to the next access point before the handover to maintain the wireless connection during the handover between the access points. | 01-28-2016 |
20160057117 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MANAGING SECURE COMMUNICATIONS IN AN AD-HOC NETWORK - The present invention provides a system and method for managing secure communications in an ad-hoc network having three or more users including a first user, a second user and a third user. Each user is associated with at least one communication device, and has a set of keys associated with the user for managing secure communications between the at least one communication device of the user and the at least one communication device of another one of the three or more users. Each set of keys includes a private key and a public key, where the public key is shared with the communication device of the other ones of the three or more users with which the user has been authenticated, and the private key is used to decrypt communications encrypted using the corresponding public key from the same set of keys. When the second user of the three or more users has been authenticated by the first user, in addition to receiving the associated public key of the second user, the first user receives a value defining a share authority level, which defines the authority of the first user relative to the second user to provide peer key sharing with the third user. | 02-25-2016 |
