20140031607 | Coplanar Wireless Energy Transfer - An external transmitter inductive coil can be provided in, on, or with a belt designed to be placed externally around a part of a body of a patient. An implantable device (such as a VAD or other medical device) that is implanted within the patient's body has associated with a receiver inductive coil that gets implanted within that part of the patient's body along with the device. The externally-located transmitter inductive coil inductively transfers electromagnetic power into that part of the body and thus to the receiver inductive coil. The implanted receiver inductive coil thus wirelessly receives the inductively-transferred electromagnetic power, and operates the implant. | 01-30-2014 |
20140031642 | INTRA BODY CAPSULE MOTION SENSING AND POSITION DETERMINATION SYSTEMS AND METHODS - A system for detecting clinically-relevant features of a gastrointestinal (GI) tract of a subject. The system comprises an external magnetic field generator adapted to be affixed to a patient for generating at predetermined time intervals a magnetic field with respect to the subject. The magnetic field has a predetermined polarity and flux density, thereby establishing a patient coordinate system based upon the magnetic field. The system includes a capsule adapted to be swallowed by a subject. The system further includes at least one radiation source emitting X-ray or gamma radiation and at least one radiation detector. The radiation detector is configured to detect in a first energy window collimated X-ray fluorescence radiation from the X-ray contrast agent composition excited by the emitted radiation, and to detect a second energy window Compton-backscattered radiation from the X-ray contrast agent and the wall of the GI tract produced in response to the emitted radiation. The system includes a magnetic field detector configured to generate a first output responsive to a detected polarity and detected levels of flux density during exposure to the externally generated magnetic field. A processor generates a second output based upon relative changes in the first output, the first output varying as a function of relative changes in physical location or angular orientation of the capsule associated with movement of the capsule within the GI tract. A control unit configured to selectively enable or disable X-ray or gamma ray emissions from the capsule produced by the at least one radiation source based upon the second output, such that the GI tract is selectively irradiated upon detected movement of the capsule. | 01-30-2014 |

20160089018 | A METHOD FOR MEASURING VISUAL ACUITY - The invention is a system and method for measuring visual acuity. The system comprises a computer or projector adapted to project a computer generated image of an optotype on a surface, e.g. a computer display screen or a screen on a wall, and a control unit. The computer or projector is adapted to project the optotypes with a steadily changing size as a continuum of images. The testing is carried out by changing the optotype size in both directions in order to compensate for the reaction time of the patient. For example, starting with a large optotype, the size is steadily decreased until the patient signals that he can no longer read the optotype. The test then continues starting from a small optotype and steadily increasing the size until the patient signals that he can read the optotype. | 03-31-2016 |

20130125099 | MODULAR COMPILATION USING PARTIAL COMPILERS - A modular compiler architecture utilizes partial compiler modules that cooperatively produce object code for operation on a complex execution infrastructure. The partial compilers may invoke the services of other partial compilers, wherein each partial compiler operates as a self-contained “black-box” module. This structure, in turn, may allow the partial compilers of such implementations to be arranged in modular hierarchies for multi-level compilation and specialization of each partial compiler. These various implementations, in turn, produce compiled programs able to correctly run on large computer clusters comprising a mix of computational resources (machines, multiple cores, graphics cards, SQL server engines, etc.). Certain implementations may also be directed to compilers comprising modular partial compilers, and partial compilers may be formed from generalized forms of traditional compilers. Further disclosed is a set of high-level operations that manipulate partial compilers. | 05-16-2013 |
20140164388 | QUERY AND INDEX OVER DOCUMENTS - A document index is generated from a set of documents and is used to identify documents that match one or more queries. A tree is generated for each document with a node corresponding to each object of the document. The nodes of the generated trees are merged or combined to generate the document index, which is itself a tree. In addition, an inverted index is generated for each node of the index that identifies the tree(s) that the node originated from. When a query is received, the query is first executed against the document index tree: during the execution, proper set operations are applied to the inverted indices associated with the nodes matched by the query. The resulted set identifies the documents that may match the query. The query is then executed on the identified documents. | 06-12-2014 |

20140009828 | Collapsible Stereoscopic Viewer - An improved collapsible stereoscope made of a stiff but bendable material. The stereoscope includes a front viewing panel with apertures for lenses, a rear picture holding panel, and bracing side walls, all integrally hinged to a bottom panel. Each bracing side wall varies in height so that it is tall enough in some regions to provide structural support, but short enough in other regions to reduce or prevent the casting of shadows on the stereogram. The length of each bracing side wall is longer than length of the bottom panel, so that when each bracing side wall is secured to the front panel, the bracing side walls bend in toward each other at a preformed folding crease which improves structural stability of the stereoscope, holds stereograms against the picture holding panel, and reduces shadowing on the stereogram. The collapsible stereoscope can be used as a greeting card. | 01-09-2014 |
