20100094197 | EYE THERAPY SYSTEM - In a system for stabilizing a pattern of structural changes in corneal fibrils, an eye treatment system causes corneal fibrils of a cornea of an eye to transition from a first structure to a second structure. An application device applies a cross-linking element to the corneal fibrils. An activating device applies an initiating element to the corneal fibrils and activates the cross-linking element. The cross-linking element causes cross-linking in the corneal fibrils to preserve the second structure of the corneal fibrils. Another application device may apply a cross-linking breaker to the corneal fibrils. The cross-linking breaker halts or reverses at least partially the cross-linking in the corneal fibrils. Another activating device applies an initiating element to the corneal fibrils and activates the cross-linking breaker. Advantageously, the cross-linking breaker provides greater control over the amount and progress of cross-linking that occurs in the corneal fibrils. | 04-15-2010 |

20120250933 | Method for Tracking Tumors in Bi-Plane Images - A tumor is tracked in sequences of biplane images by generating a set of segmentation hypotheses using a 3D model of the tumor, a biplane geometry, and a previous location of the tumor as determined from the pairs of biplane images. Volume prior probabilities are constructed based on the set of hypotheses. Seed pixels are selected using the volume prior probabilities, and a bi-plane dual image graph is constructed using intensity gradients and the seed pixels to obtaining segmentation masks corresponding to tumor boundaries using the image intensities to determine a current location of the tumor. | 10-04-2012 |

20110013804 | Method for Normalizing Displaceable Features of Objects in Images - A method normalizes a feature of an object in an image. The feature of the object is extracted from a 2D or 3D image. The feature is displaceable within a displacement zone in the object, and wherein the feature has a location within the displacement zone. An associated description of the feature is determined. Then, the feature is displaced to a best location in the displacement zone to produce a normalized feature. | 01-20-2011 |

20160140566 | SECURE TRANSMISSION OF PAYMENT CREDENTIALS - An online electronic wallet system and method provide secure storage and transmission of payment instrument information for use in completing online purchases initiated from a client device. A payment instrument's verification code is stored in an encrypted form in local storage on a client device and retrieved and re-encrypted along with other payment instrument information stored on the system using a merchant-specific key. An API library is used to integrate the online electronic wallet system with a registered merchant's purchase flow, including the ability to ensure receipt of an electronic receipt prior to communicating payment instrument information to a merchant server. | 05-19-2016 |
20160140633 | PRESENTING USER INTERFACE ELEMENTS AND ACCEPTING INPUT OPTIMISTICALLY WHEN APPLICATION STATE IS UNKNOWN - Activation of a link or control button on a user interface before an underlying application status is known. A user requests access to a merchant system's webpage. The merchant system webpage loads and a link is activated. The merchant system begins to determine the user's account status with the remote system while the web page is loading or at any time thereafter. The user initiates a request by clicking, pressing, or otherwise selecting the link on the merchant system's webpage. The merchant system determines whether the user's account status with the remote system is known. If the account status is not known, the merchant system completes the determination. If the account status is known, the merchant system determines whether the action request is available. If the action is available, the request is processed. If the action is not available, the user is notified and the link is disabled. | 05-19-2016 |

20160101308 | Drug Disposal System - The present invention comprises a safe and effective system for removal of a range of common pharmaceutical compounds. The formulation comprises activated carbon, accompanied by some larger pebble-like material to help break up capsules and tablets upon shaking, in the presence of an acidified liquid medium. Drugs are added to the bottle and the bottle is shaken so that the drugs are dissolved by the liquid solution and are irreversibly adsorbed onto activated carbon, thereby sequestering them from further use. | 04-14-2016 |

20110090820 | SELF-OPTIMIZING WIRELESS NETWORK - Optimizing a plurality cell sites or sectors in a wireless network including receiving network data regarding a plurality of cell sites or sectors; determining a critical zone in which communication is degraded; determining best neighbor cell sites or sectors among the neighbor cell sites or sectors associated with the critical cell sites or sectors; determining if the critical cell sites or sectors in the critical zone have available resources for achieving a desired improvement in communications; determining if the best neighbor cell sites or sectors have available resources for achieving the desired improvement in communications; and altering wireless network parameters of the critical cell sites or sectors, or the best neighbor cells sites or sectors for achieving the desired improvement in communications. Altering wireless network parameters of the critical cell sites or sectors, or the best neighbor cell sites or sectors is performed continuously until the desired improvement in communications in the wireless network is achieved. | 04-21-2011 |
20110092195 | SELF-OPTIMIZING WIRELESS NETWORK - Optimizing a plurality cell sites or sectors in a wireless network includes calculating modifications to a plurality of network parameters for optimizing wireless network performance; evaluating the modification groups to determine conflicts between modifications for a same network parameter; and eliminating the conflicts between modifications for the same network parameter within the modification groups. The modification groups are used to alter at least one network parameter of the critical cell sites or sectors, or of a best neighbor cells sites or sectors for achieving a desired improvement in communications within the wireless network. Optimization is further enhanced by determining the best previous modifications to the wireless network when performance continues to be degraded. Altering wireless network parameters of the critical cell sites or sectors, or the best neighbor cell sites or sectors is performed continuously using the stored modification groups until the desired improvement in communications in the wireless network is achieved. | 04-21-2011 |
20120009938 | CELLULAR LOCATION SYSTEM AND CELLULAR LOCATION METHOD - A cellular location method uses a cellular location system including a database. The cellular location method obtains radio measurements from a user terminal located in the communications network, extracts information from the obtained radio measurements, determines the location of the user terminal based on the extracted information, and stores the determined location of the user terminal and the extracted information as an entry in the database. Additionally, the cellular location method estimates information for the user terminal for another location in the communications network. The estimated information for the user terminal may be based upon the extracted information for the user terminal or upon obtained information from a co-sited communications network. A location of the specified user terminal can be obtained based on a matching score between measurements from the specified user terminal and the stored user terminal measurements including the extracted information and the estimated information. | 01-12-2012 |
