20120242831 | Extended Source Wavefront Sensor through Optical Correlation - An atmospheric aberration sensor that uses two optically correlated images of a scene and the Fourier transform capabilities of a lens or other focusing element. The sensor receives light via an f-number matching element from a scene or from an external optical system and transmits it through a focusing optical element to an updateable display element such as a spatial light modulator or micro mirror array, which modulates the real time image from the focusing element with previous template image of the same extended scene. The modulated image is focused onto an autocorrelation detection sensor, which detects a change in centroid position corresponding to a change of the tip/tilt in the optical path. This peak shift is detected by centroid detection and corresponds to the magnitude of global wavefront tip/tilt. With a lenslet array and detector array, the system can also measure local tip/tilt and higher order aberrations. | 09-27-2012 |

20120177892 | Method for Manufacturing a Thin Film Structural System - A method for manufacturing a thin film structural system including a thin film structure includes depositing a reinforcing material in a liquid form in a predefined pattern on a thin film membrane, and transforming the reinforcing material in the predefined pattern to form a reinforcing element connected to the thin film membrane. The reinforcing material may be deposited in a melted form and solidified by cooling, may be transformed by a light or laser induced chemical reaction, or may be deposited and solidified such that the reinforcing element is at least partially embedded in the thin film membrane. The predefined pattern may redistribute loads around a damaged portion of the thin film structure, or define a hinge, a folding line, a stiffening feature. The reinforcing element may be electrically, optically or thermally conductive, to communicate with a device included in the system. The system may be a space structure. | 07-12-2012 |

20130185803 | MARKING AND OBSCURING SENSITIVE VALUES IN TRACES - In one embodiment, a method for processing trace data is provided. The method generates trace data during execution of the target application and obtains criteria for identifying whether a value in the trace data is sensitive. An initial occurrence of a sensitive value in the trace data is identified based on the obtained criteria. The method then stores the sensitive value in a data structure accessible by an obscuring process. The obscuring process receives the trace data and obscures occurrences of the sensitive value in the trace data prior to providing the trace data for display. | 07-18-2013 |

20140120531 | Devices, Solutions and Methods for Sample Collection - The disclosure relates to devices, solutions and methods for collecting and processing samples of bodily fluids containing cells (as well as embodiments for the collection, and processing and/or analysis of other fluids including toxic and/or hazardous substances/fluids). In addition, the disclosure relates generally to function genomic studies and to the isolation and preservation of cells from saliva and other bodily fluids (e.g., urine), for cellular analysis. With respect to devices for collection of bodily fluids, some embodiments include two mating bodies, a cap and a tube (for example), where, in some embodiments, the cap includes a closed interior space for holding a sample preservative solution and mates with the tube to constitute the (closed) sample collection device. Upon mating, the preservation solution flows into the closed interior space to preserve cells in the bodily fluid. The tube is configured to receive a donor sample of bodily fluid (e.g., saliva, urine), which can then be subjected to processing to extract a plurality of cells. The plurality of cells can be further processed to isolate one and/or another cell type therefrom. The plurality of cells, as well as the isolated cell type(s), can be analyzed for functional genomic and epigenetic studies, as well as biomarker discovery. | 05-01-2014 |

20090185917 | Pressure Exchanger - There is disclosed a pressure vessel ( | 07-23-2009 |
20110176936 | PRESSURE EXCHANGER - A pressure vessel provided with a first port acting as a high pressure inlet of a first stream and a second port acting as a high pressure outlet. A rotatable valve element is located in the centre of the machine and includes a centre plate, which is utilized to separate high pressure streams. At each end of the valve element are valves. The valves ensure that as the valve element rotates the exchange ducts are either both isolated or that one is exposed to high pressure while the other is exposed to low pressure. In operation, a fluid stream is introduced to the machine at high pressure through port and flows around the outside of the exchange duct towards the centre of the machine. The stream then flows downwardly to the valve element, where it then passes through the open ports of the valve element and into flow distributor. The stream then passes into and upwardly in the exchange duct, causing upward displacement of the duct piston, resulting in the pressurization and flow of the second fluid above the duct piston. The second fluid then flows into the upper flow distributor, into the valve element, and then downwardly and finally between the exchange duct and out through the high pressure port. At the same time a fluid stream is introduced to the machine at low pressure through port. This flows into the valve element and then into the flow distributor. From the flow distributor it flows and downwardly into the pressure exchange duct, causing downward displacement of duct piston and resulting in flow of the first fluid below the duct piston, which then flows into the lower flow distributor, into the valve element, and then out of the lower sealing plate at port. A planar radial sealing surface promotes sealing connection between the rotatable valve element and various pressure exchange ducts within the pressure vessel. | 07-21-2011 |
