20090027265 | Frequency mode of locking phased arrays for synthesizing high order traveling interference patterns - The elements of a phased array antenna are driven by different frequencies, rather than the same frequency, to realize a scanning beam. The scan rate of the beam may be set arbitrarily high according to the frequencies used to drive the phased array, without expensive phase modulators. In particular, each successive element of the phased array antenna is driven with a frequency that is offset from the frequency used to drive the previous element in direct proportion to the spacing between antenna elements. Thus, for a straight line implementation of a phased array antenna with an antenna spacing offset of λ/2, the frequency offset between adjacent antenna elements is constant. For implementations of phased array antennas with another linear or a non-linear spatial relationship between antenna elements, the frequency offset between adjacent antenna elements is determined based on a linear or non-linear spatial relationship of the antenna. | 01-29-2009 |

20150370826 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING ASSURED DATABASE UPDATES VIA A ONE-WAY DATA LINK - A system for assuredly copying information from a reference database to a remote database. A send server is coupled to a first network. A receive server is coupled to a second network. A one-way data link provides unidirectional transfer of information from the send server to the receive server. A monitor application iteratively forwards update files including sequence information to the send server. An update application receives each update file and updates the remote database based therein. The update files are also sequentially stored in the send server in groups and each group is sent to the receive server and stored in memory. If an update file is not received in proper sequential order, the receive server stops sending update files in the current group and instead reads the missing update file and subsequent update files in the current group from memory and forwards such files to the update application. | 12-24-2015 |

20150332483 | METHODS OF MODELLING AND CHARACTERISING HEART FIBER GEOMETRY - The identification and determination of aspects of the construction of a patient's heart is important for cardiologists and cardiac surgeons in the diagnosis, analysis, treatment, and management of cardiac patients. For example minimally invasive heart surgery demands knowledge of heart geometry, heart fiber orientation, etc. Whilst medical imaging has advanced significantly the accurate three dimensional (3D) rendering from a series of imaging slices remains a critical step in the planning and execution of patient treatment. Embodiments of the invention construct using diffuse MRI data 3D renderings from iterating connections forms derived from arbitrary smooth frame fields to not only corroborate biological measurements of heart fiber orientation but also provide novel biological views in respect of heart fiber orientation etc. | 11-19-2015 |
