20100093242 | Composite Article Having Excellent Fire Resistance - A composite article includes a first window layer formed from a vitreous material and a reinforced silicone layer disposed adjacent the first window layer. The reinforced silicone layer includes a cured silicone composition and a fiber reinforcement. Due to the presence of the cured silicone composition in the reinforced silicone layer, the composite article exhibits excellent fire resistance and will not emit as much smoke and toxic gases as composite articles including primarily carbon-based materials. Further, due to the presence of the fiber reinforcement in the reinforced silicone layer, the composite article maintains excellent structural integrity even after a breach is formed in the composite article due to heat. As such, the composite articles of the subject invention may be suitable for load-bearing applications that are not possible with existing composite articles. | 04-15-2010 |

When a home location server (H-LS) determines it cannot locate a subscriber device because the subscriber device is roaming, the H-LS sends an RLP request to the RLP router. The RLP router then routes the RLP request to a serving location server (S-LS), which subsequently returns location information for the roaming subscriber device. The RLP router maintains mobile switching center ID (MSCID) to location based services (LBS) mappings for routing RLP requests. The RLP router may also maintain rough MSC-level positioning data for each MSCID to enable the RLP router to resolve certain location fixes without utilizing an S-LS. | 12-26-2013 |

20080262312 | SHADOWING PIPE MOSAICING ALGORITHMS WITH APPLICATION TO ESOPHAGEAL ENDOSCOPY - In connection with imaging an inner surface of a body lumen, a mosaiced image is created from discrete images or a video produced with a small camera, as the camera is moved through the lumen. In one embodiment, a tethered capsule with a scanning optical fiber provides the images, although other types of endoscopic cameras can instead be used. A surface model of the lumen and camera pose estimates for each image or frame are required for this task. Camera pose parameters, which define camera alignment, are determined for six degrees-of-freedom. The size of each frame projected as a strip on the surface model depends on the longitudinal movement of the camera. The projected frames are concatenated, and the cylinder is unrolled to produce the mosaic image. Further processing, such as applying surface domain blending, improves the quality of the mosaic image. | 10-23-2008 |

More specifically, candidate aerial imagery can be identified for alignment with the ground based image. Geometric data associated with the ground based image can be obtained and used to warp the ground based image to a perspective associated with the candidate aerial imagery. One or more feature matches between the warped image and the candidate aerial imagery can then be identified using a feature matching technique. The matched features can be used to align the ground based image with the candidate aerial imagery. | 01-07-2016 |
20160028972 | MULTIPLANE PANORAMAS OF LONG SCENES - Methods, systems, and articles of manufacture for generating a panoramic image of a long scene, are disclosed. These include, fitting a plurality of planes to 3D points associated with input images of portions of the long scene, where one or more respective planes are fitted to each of a ground surface, a dominant surface, and at least one of one or more foreground objects and one or more background objects in the long scene, and where distances from the 3D points to the fitted planes are substantially minimized. These also include, selecting, for respective one or more pixels in the panoramic image of the long scene, one of the input images and one of the fitted planes such that a distance is substantially minimized from the selected one of the fitted planes to a surface corresponding to the respective one or more pixels and occlusion of the respective one or more pixels is reduced in the selected one of the input images; and stitching the panoramic image of the long scene by projecting, for the respective one or more pixels in the panoramic image of the long scene, the selected one of the input images using the selected one of the fitted planes into the virtual camera. | 01-28-2016 |

20090137045 | Pyridinium Cationic Lipids as Gene Transfer Agents - Pyridinium cationic lipids useful as non-viral gene delivery agents are disclosed. The agents are prepared by reaction of pyrylium salts with primary amines. Also disclosed are methods of trasfectind cells using the pyridinium cationic lipids as gene transfer agents. | 05-28-2009 |
20130330244 | COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR TOPICAL NITRIC OXIDE GENERATION - A simple, biocompatible two-component system and procedure for generating nitric oxide (NO) is described. One component comprises sodium nitrite or other nitrite source, and the other component comprises a reductant, an acid and a base although in certain embodiments the reductant and acid functions are provided by the same component. When these two components are mixed directly at a local site of administration or immediately prior to application and the mixture generates nitric oxide (NO) for topical application. The activated system is therapeutic for treatment of multiple conditions, including promotion of healing, disinfection, promotion of hair growth, and treatment of male and female sexual dysfunction. | 12-12-2013 |
20140056957 | EXTENDED PRODUCTION OF NITRIC OXIDE FROM MICROENCAPSULATED CHEMICAL REACTANTS - Methods and compositions are provided for generating and applying long-lasting therapeutic nitric oxide (NO) gas from the reaction of water-soluble chemical reactants microencapsulated in polymer matrices. In some applications the microencapsulated reactants are introduced in an aqueous gel, and in other applications they are introduced to the area of therapy either directly or in a medical device such as a therapeutic pad or dressing. In some applications, the microencapsulated chemical precursors are maintained in close physical proximity to one another in a limited volume, and using a limited amount of solvent residing within that same volume to extract and process the chemical precursors to form NO. | 02-27-2014 |
20140056963 | EXTENDED PRODUCTION OF NITRIC OXIDE FROM A MICROENCAPSULATED NITRITE SALT AND AN AQUEOUS ACIDIFIED GEL - Methods and compositions are provided for generating and applying long-lasting therapeutic nitric oxide (NO) gas from the reaction of a least one microencapsulated nitrite salt and an activating volume of an aqueous acidified gel that has sufficient acidity to convert the nitrite salt to a nitric oxide (NO) and further provides a reducing property that retains the NO in bioactive form | 02-27-2014 |
