20140135985 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR SURGICAL PLANNING - Methods and apparatus for enhancing surgical planning provide enhanced planning of entry port placement and/or robot position for laparoscopic, robotic, and other minimally invasive surgery. Various embodiments may be used in robotic surgery systems to identify advantageous entry ports for multiple robotic surgical tools into a patient to access a surgical site. Generally, data such as imaging data is processed and used to create a model of a surgical site, which can then be used to select advantageous entry port sites for two or more surgical tools based on multiple criteria. Advantageous robot positioning may also be determined, based on the entry port locations and other factors. Validation and simulation may then be provided to ensure feasibility of the selected port placements and/or robot positions. Such methods, apparatus, and systems may also be used in non-surgical contexts, such as for robotic port placement in munitions diffusion or hazardous waste handling. | 05-15-2014 |

20090022945 | METHOD FOR OPTIMIZING THE MASS OF A COMPOSITE PANEL - A method for optimizing the mass of a composite panel. The panel is composed of a plurality of uniform thickness zones, each zone defined by a vertical arrangement of plies having different orientation angles. The arrangement defined by a determined number of plies, a positioning order of the plies having a given orientation angle with respect to the others in the vertical arrangement, and the proportion of plies having a given orientation angle with respect to all the plies composing the vertical arrangement. The optimization includes defining a lay-up table. Defining a vertical arrangement of plies for each uniform thickness zone. Starting from the lay-up table, a function describing the physical properties of each zone of the composite panel is built, as a function of the total thickness of each zone, the total thickness for each zone is adjusted using a discrete variables iteration process, the aim of the process being reached when the mass of the panel is minimum. | 01-22-2009 |

20080281969 | Controlling access to versions of application software by a server, based on site ID - A plurality of versions of software application programs can be handled by a single server serving multiple user-clients who each need access to specific ones of the plurality of versions. Thus such different versions can run simultaneously without requiring upgrading of early versions and no interference between versions. A particular version is given a SiteID that a user request calls, and a table in the server is consulted to keep track of which SiteID corresponds to which version and to assign each request to the appropriate version. A directory or registry must be set up to accommodate the table which must be consulted for each request. No significant change need be made in any version of the software application program since the table is created at installation time on the server and the SiteID's are assigned to the users when they get rights to the particular version of interest by an administrator. In a preferred embodiment, a SiteID identifies (and the “site” embodies) a collection of databases that the user may need access to. One and only one application software version is associated with a SiteID. Accessing a table that maps the SiteID to a particular version can be monitored and additional programs run responsive to information about such access. | 11-13-2008 |

20130339818 | ERASURE CODING AND REPLICATION IN STORAGE CLUSTERS - A cluster receives a request to store an object using replication or erasure coding. The cluster writes the object using erasure coding. A manifest is written that includes an indication of erasure coding and a unique identifier for each segment. The cluster returns a unique identifier of the manifest. The cluster receives a request from a client that includes a unique identifier. The cluster determines whether the object has been stored using replication or erasure coding. If using erasure coding, the method reads a manifest. The method identifies segments within the cluster using unique segment identifiers of the manifest. Using these unique segment identifiers, the method reconstructs the object. A persistent storage area of another disk is scanned to find a unique identifier of a failed disk. If using erasure coding, a missing segment previously stored on the disk is identified.

20090219382 | PROCESS AND SYSTEM FOR ENCODING AND PLAYBACK OF STEREOSCOPIC VIDEO SEQUENCES - A method for decoding a compressed image stream, the image stream having a plurality of frames, each frame consisting of a merged image including pixels from a left image and pixels from a right image. The method involves the steps of receiving each merged image; changing a clock domain from the original input signal to an internal domain; for each merged image, placing at least two adjacent pixels into an input buffer and interpolating an intermediate pixel, for forming a reconstructed left frame and a reconstructed right frame according to provenance of the adjacent pixels; and reconstructing a stereoscopic image stream from the left and right image frames. The invention also teaches a system for decoding a compressed image stream. | 09-03-2009 |

20100132237 | WRISTBAND AND CLASP THEREFOR - The field of the present invention relates to an identification assembly, and in particular, to a clasp device for securing to an identification wristband, and to a wristband and clasp assembly. In one embodiment, a identification assembly for a patient includes a band with first and second opposite ends and first and second opposite edges and a width measured between the first and second edges. The identification assembly also includes a clasp secured to the band. The clasp has a first section having an inside surface and an outside surface; a second section having an inside surface and an outside surface, the inside surface of the second section facing the inside surface of the first section; and a protrusion extending from one of the first or the second section to engage the other of the first or the second section to secure the first and second sections together in a closed position. The outside surface of one of the first or the second section comprises a symbol on the outside surface to provide information about the patient. The clasp is color-coded to provide information about the patient. | 06-03-2010 |
