20090037260 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MACHINE-ASSISTED ELECTION AUDITING - A method for auditing ballots cast in an election, wherein each ballot is associated with a group. A subset of groups from which sample ballots will be chosen is identified. An identifier is printed on each ballot in the subset. Each ballot has a different identifier than every other ballot in its group. A check is performed to determine whether the identifiers were printed correctly on the ballots. If so, a machine re-count of ballots in each group in the subset is performed and the results are compared to the initial tally of ballots associated with the group. If there is a mismatch, a further investigation is triggered. If there is a match, manual verification is performed on sample ballots from each group. The audit may begin prior to completion of voting from all precincts by estimating the number of samples that will be necessary. | 02-05-2009 |
20120066494 | Controlling Download and Playback of Media Content - Systems and methods provide for controlling download and playback of media content. A system includes a client, which can play content, and a server. The server includes a permission system that can determine whether a client request to download or play content should be granted. All purchase, download, and playback requests require permission from the permission system. The server also includes a DD module system that transfers a DD module to the client. The DD module includes a content key decryption module, a content decryption module, and a content decompression module. The content key decryption module decrypts an encrypted content key that was received from the server. The decryption uses a unique DD module key that has been hard-coded into the content key decryption module. The content decryption module uses the content key to decrypt encrypted content. The content decompression module decompresses compressed content so that it can be played. | 03-15-2012 |

It includes providing a laser processing system having a picosecond laser having controllable parameters; controlling the laser parameters to form light pulses from the picosecond laser, to form a modified region having a depth which spans about 50% of the depth and substantially including the processing surface of the substrate and having a width less than about 5% of the region depth; and, singulating the substrate by applying mechanical stress to the substrate thereby cleaving the substrate into said light emitting electronic devices having sidewalls formed at least partially in cooperation with the linear modified regions. | 07-12-2012 |
20120211477 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR IMPROVED LASER SCRIBING OF OPTO-ELECTRIC DEVICES - Disclosed are laser scribing systems for laser scribing semiconductor substrates with backside coatings. In particular these laser scribing systems laser scribe opto-electric semiconductor wafers with reflective backside coatings so as to avoid damage to the opto-electric device while maintaining efficient manufacturing. In more particular these laser scribing systems employ ultrafast pulsed lasers at wavelength in the visible region and below in multiple passes to remove the backside coatings and scribe the wafer. | 08-23-2012 |

20100159506 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR GENETIC ANALYSIS OF FETAL NUCLEATED RED BLOOD CELLS - Methods for determining genetic status of a fetus from a sample of maternal blood comprise enriching nucleated red blood cells in the sample, including both fetal and maternal nucleated red blood cells. The nucleated red blood cells are then differentiated from all other blood cells in the enriched sample, and the nucleated red blood cells genetically screened to determine the genetic status. The nucleated red blood cells may be differentiated by immobilizing all enriched blood cells on a solid phase and locating the nucleated red blood cells for interrogation. Optionally, the nucleated red blood cells may be sorted and separated from other enriched blood cells in a liquid phase. | 06-24-2010 |
20110311960 | Method and Device for Identification of Nucleated Red Blood Cells from a Maternal Blood Sample - A method for concentrating and isolating nucleated cells, such as a maternal and fetal nucleated red blood cells (NRBC's), in a maternal whole blood sample. The invention also provides methods and apparatus for preparing to analyze and analyzing the sample for identification of fetal genetic material as part of prenatal genetic testing. The invention also pertains to methods and apparatus for discriminating fetal nucleated red blood cells from maternal nucleated red blood cells obtained from a blood sample taken from a pregnant woman. | 12-22-2011 |
