20100179374 | Method and Apparatus for Treating a Heat Condition - The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for the treatment of a heart condition such as angina and/or congestive heart failure. Conditions such as angina, caused by inadequate blood flow to the coronary arteries, are treated in this invention by implantation of smooth muscle tissue wrapped around the ascending aorta. The smooth muscle tissue is stimulated electrically, by the implanted stimulator, to contract at timed intervals relative to the hearts' cycle. The contraction assists blood flow to the coronary vessels. | 07-15-2010 |

20110053120 | MARKSMANSHIP TRAINING DEVICE - The present invention describes a marksmanship training simulator including, a weapon capable of firing a laser, a screen for projecting images including a background and a target thereon using a background projector for projecting a background scene and a target area projector for projecting a density of visible pixels on the screen such that the target image is at better than eye-limited resolution when viewed by the marksman through a and wherein the contrast ratio of the target image formed by both by the background and target area projector is substantially that of the target area projector. The screen reflects the laser and there is also a laser footprint detector directed to the target area wherein the density of the detector pixels for receiving the non-visible footprint and the intensity and size of the laser footprint is such that there is a predetermined accuracy of the detection of the location of the footprint. | 03-03-2011 |
20120183931 | HIT DETECTION IN DIRECT-FIRE OR SMALL-ARMS SIMULATORS - A hit detection system including: a simulated weapon, a laser attached to the simulated weapon, a full screen projector projecting an image on a screen, a screen for target depiction and making a laser footprint visible to a hit-detection camera, at least a first hit detection camera being a high precision camera that is capable of detecting a laser footprint and generating hit detection data, a simulation computer in operative connection with the full screen projector and the hit detection camera, a link between a trigger on the simulated weapon and the first hit detection camera, a data storage means for storing hit detection data generated by the first hit detection camera, so that, in use, when a trigger on the simulated weapon is pulled to activate the laser a laser footprint is projected onto the screen and at the same time the hit detection camera takes an image of the laser footprint on the screen. | 07-19-2012 |

20120041694 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ASSESSMENT OF PIPELINE CONDITION - A method and system for assessing the condition of a pipe carrying a fluid is disclosed. The method includes the steps of generating a pressure wave in the fluid being carried along the pipe and detecting a pressure wave interaction signal resulting from an interaction of the pressure wave with a localised variation in pipe condition. The method then involves determining from the timing of the pressure wave interaction signal the location of the localised variation in pipe condition and the extent of the localised variation in pipe condition based on a characteristic of the pressure wave interaction signal. | 02-16-2012 |

20090150813 | ANIMATED USER INTERFACE CONTROL ELEMENTS - A method for providing an animated transition effect between a first display state associated with a first control state of a control element rendered on a graphical user interface of a computer system, and a second display state associated with a second control state of said control element is provided. The method renders the control element in said first state and then receives at the graphic user interface, a user input event to invoke the second control state of the control element. The method evaluates a graph associated with the control element, the graph having entries each corresponding to a state of the control element, each entry comprising an event, an associated transition and a destination state, to identify a graph entry specifying a transition invoked by the input event from a current displayed first state to the destination state, being the second control state. An entry is identified corresponding to the second control state as the current state of the control element and a description of an animation associated with the specified transition is retrieved. The animation is then rendered. | 06-11-2009 |
