| 20100049313 | PROSTHETIC HEART VALVE AND DELIVERY APPARATUS - Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a prosthetic heart valve and a heart valve delivery apparatus for delivery of the prosthetic heart valve to a native valve site via the human vasculature. The delivery apparatus is particularly suited for advancing a prosthetic valve through the aorta (i. e., in a retrograde approach) for replacing a diseased native aortic valve. In one embodiment, a self-expanding valve comprises an expandable stent that is shaped to maintain the valve in the aortic annulus against axial without anchors or retaining devices that engage the surrounding tissue. A delivery apparatus for delivering s self-expanding prosthetic valve can be configured to allow controlled and precise deployment of the valve from a valve sheath so as to minimize or prevent jumping of the valve from the valve sheath. | 02-25-2010 |

| 20090002030 | HIGH SPEED SIGNALING SYSTEM WITH ADAPTIVE TRANSMIT PRE-EMPHASIS - A high-speed signaling system with adaptive transmit pre-emphasis. A transmit circuit has a plurality of output drivers to output a first signal onto a signal path. A receive circuit is coupled to receive the first signal via the signal path and configured to generate an indication of whether the first signal exceeds a threshold level. A first threshold control circuit is coupled to receive the indication from the receive circuit and configured to adjust the threshold level according to whether the first signal exceeds the threshold level. A drive strength control circuit is coupled to receive the indication from the receive circuit and configured to adjust a drive strength of at least one output driver of the plurality of output drivers according to whether the first signal exceeds the threshold level. | 01-01-2009 |

| 20110135315 | OPTICAL RECEIVER WITH A CALIBRATION MODE - An optical receiver is described. This optical receiver includes a digital feedback circuit that biases a front-end circuit, which receives an optical signal, so that an analog electrical signal output by the front-end circuit is calibrated relative to a reference voltage corresponding to a decision threshold of a digital slicer in the optical receiver. In particular, during a calibration mode the feedback circuit may determine and store a calibration value that calibrates the analog electrical signal relative to the reference voltage. Then, during a normal operating mode, the feedback circuit may output a current corresponding to the stored calibration value that specifies a bias point of the front-end circuit. | 06-09-2011 |

| 20080218512 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR INTERACTIVE MASKING AND MODIFYING OF 3D OBJECTS - A system and method for providing an intuitive and efficient mechanism to select areas of interest on a 3D model, and modify a pose or shape of the 3D model. A masking module allows an artist to interactively mask portions of a 3D object and leave other portions of the object unmasked. A posing module provides various tools to allow the artist to apply a posing or reshaping action on the unmasked areas of the 3D object. The computer artist masks portions of the 3D object by clicking and dragging the user input device on an area of the 3D object. All vertices whose topological distances are closer to the vertex associated with the initial click position than the final dragged position are masked. The artist then draws an action line on or partially on the 3D object to define a coordinate system. The artist clicks on a point on the action line, and drags the user input device for corresponding transformations of the unmasked portions of the 3D object. | 09-11-2008 |
| 20090167762 | System and Method for Creating Shaders Via Reference Image Sampling - A system and method for creating a surface shader based on material surface shading information of a reference image. A user interface is provided which allows an artist to place various markers on the reference image. One or more points on the reference image identified by the placed markers are sampled for obtaining shading information for the sampled points. A 2D image is then generated with the obtained shading information. As markers are added or existing markers replaced on the reference image, the 2D image is updated in real time to provide feedback to the user of the surface shader that is being created. The surface shader is then used to render a 3D object. | 07-02-2009 |

| 20090096674 | TECHNIQUE FOR MITIGATING MULTIPATH IMPACTS ON AZIMUTH ACCURACY IN A MONOPULSE INTERROGATOR - A method for mitigating multipath impacts on azimuth accuracy in a monopulse interrogator is accomplished by calculating samples of monopulse ratio for samples of antenna boresight angles based on data received from an interrogation of a target. Samples of traditional target azimuth from the samples of monopulse ratio are calculated. A mean of the samples of traditional target azimuth is calculated. An alternative target azimuth from the samples of monopulse ratio is calculated. Whether a multipath signal exists is determined from observing a standard deviation of the samples of traditional target azimuth, and using the mean of the traditional target azimuth if a multipath signal does not exist and using the alternative target azimuth if a multipath signal does exist. | 04-16-2009 |

| 20100270373 | Electronic Card and Methods For Making Same - An electronic card includes a digital processor, an electrochemical battery and a communications port. The processor and battery are essentially coplanar, and are sandwiched between and enclosed by two flexible covers, preferably made from an insulating plastic material, and preferably fitted to the components that they enclose. The communications port can include, for example, a Smart Card contact port, a stripe emulator, an RF port, and IR port, etc. The battery may comprise a rechargeable battery. In an exemplary embodiment, at least the processor is carried by a flexible printed circuit (PC) board. In other exemplary embodiments, switches and/or indicators are also carried by the PC board. A method for manufacturing an electronic card having at least two components is also disclosed. | 10-28-2010 |
