| 20110085719 | SYSTEM AND METHOD OF IMAGE ARTIFACT REDUCTION IN FAST KVP SWITCHING CT - A CT system includes a generator configured to energize an x-ray source to a first kilovoltage (kVp) and to a second kVp, and a computer that is programmed to acquire a first view dataset with the x-ray source energized to the first kVp and a second view dataset with the x-ray source energized to the second kVp, generate a base correction image using the first view dataset and the second view dataset, and reconstruct a pair of base material images from the first view dataset and from the second view dataset. The computer is also programmed to estimate artifact correlation in the pair of base material images using the base correction image, generate a pair of final base material images and a final monochromatic image, and correct one of the pair of final base material images and the final monochromatic image at a keV value using the estimated artifact correlation. | 04-14-2011 |

| 20100072268 | Insulated beverage container - The insulated beverage container is a container, such as a coffee cup, providing thermal insulation for the user's hand. The container includes a vertically extending annular wall and a base, forming a beverage-receiving cup. A plurality of tubes are secured to an outer surface of the annular wall. Each tube is hollow and defines an air passage therein, and is further elongated along the vertical direction, having upper and lower air flow apertures formed therethrough. In use, heat generated by the beverage heats the air contained within the tubes. As the air rises within the tubes, ambient air at a lower temperature is drawn through the lower air flow apertures and the heated air is expelled through the upper air flow apertures, maintaining a flow of cooled air from the environment through the tubes. | 03-25-2010 |

| 20090166395 | METHOD OF JOINING METAL MATERIAL - Metal materials made of iron (Fe) or the like are butted together at a joint, and a probe of a rotary tool is inserted into the joint. The rotary tool is rotated while being moved in the lengthwise direction of the joint, whereby the metallographic structure of the joint is stirred, and the metal materials are joined. While the rotary tool is being rotated and moved, liquid CO | 07-02-2009 |

| 20090083348 | Memory Management Using Garbage Collection of Objects in Child Scoped Memory Areas - Mechanisms of memory management in a scoped memory system of a data processing system having a one or more scoped memory areas are provided. The mechanisms identify a set of one or more child scoped memory areas of the scoped memory area for garbage collection. The mechanisms further identify, in each scoped memory area of the set, references to the scoped memory area for garbage collection as root references for objects allocated in the scoped memory area of the scoped memory system, thereby generating a set of root references. The mechanisms also recursively traversing and marking objects that are referenced from the set of root references and that are allocated in the scoped memory area of the scoped memory system and identify objects in the scoped memory area of the scoped memory system that are not so marked. The identified objects are discarded from the scoped memory system. | 03-26-2009 |
| 20090083349 | Memory Management for Garbage Collection of Critical Real Time Threads - Mechanisms of memory management in a real time runtime environment having a garbage collected memory heap are provided. The runtime environment includes a critical real time thread that is precluded from accessing the garbage collected memory heap. The runtime environment further includes a scoped memory area for the allocation of objects therein for access by the critical real time thread. The mechanisms determine whether the critical real time thread is in a defined state in which a delay associated with garbage collection can be accommodated by the critical thread. The mechanisms further initiate, in response to a determination that the critical real time thread is in the defined state, a process of garbage collection of the scoped memory area. | 03-26-2009 |
| 20090083509 | Memory Management Using Garbage Collection of Scoped Memory - Mechanisms for memory management in a scoped memory system are provided. The scoped memory system includes a scoped memory area for the allocation of objects therein for access by one or more software threads in execution. The scoped memory area has an associated thread count for indicating that the scoped memory area is discardable. The mechanisms identify a set of root references for objects allocated in the scoped memory area and recursively traverses and marks objects that are referenced from the set of root references and that are allocated in the scoped memory area. The mechanisms further identify objects in the scoped memory area that are not so marked and discards the identified objects. | 03-26-2009 |

| 20080294685 | Creating References in a Scoped Memory System - A method for creating a reference in a scoped memory system, the scoped memory system including a scope graph of scoped memory areas, wherein each scoped memory area is suitable for the allocation of objects therein for access by software threads and has associated a thread count for indicating that the scoped memory area is discardable, the method comprising the steps of: allocating a target object in a target scoped memory area; storing an index associated with the target object of a depth of the target scoped memory area in the scope graph; allocating a source object in a source scoped memory area; storing an index associated with the source object of a depth of the source scoped memory area in the scope graph; in response to a determination that the source scoped memory area is at the same depth as or deeper than the target scoped memory area by comparing the index associated with the source object and the index associated with the target object, creating a reference from the target object to the source object. | 11-27-2008 |

| 20080267930 | Biological Materials and Uses Thereof - A method of producing a reprogrammed cell or reprogrammed cell nucleus, comprising exposing a differentiated cell, or the nucleus of a differentiated cell to a cell or cell extract thereof derived from an oocyte, egg, ovary or early embryo of a cold blooded vertebrate, wherein the cold blooded vertebrate has one or more of the following properties: (i) a primitive vertebrate body plan including laterally projecting ribs and/or spinal projections; (ii) germ cells which do not contain germ plasm; and/or (iii) the oocyte, egg, ovary or early embryo cell or cell from which the cell extract is derived, expresses a highly conserved form of Oct-4 and/or nanog. There is also provided uses of the reprogrammed cells. | 10-30-2008 |

| 20080250153 | STREAMING OF TEMPLATES AND DATA RECORDS IN INDIVIDUAL STREAMS USING A MULTISTREAM PROTOCOL - In one embodiment, a method includes determining a first template defining a data format for one or more first data records and a second template defining a data format for one or more second data records. The template may be needed to decode the information included in an associated data record. The first template is sent on a first stream of a multi-stream protocol in an ordered fashion, such as SCTP. The one or more first data records are also sent on the first stream in an ordered fashion and include first flow information for data sent through a network device. A second template is sent on a second stream using the multi-stream protocol in an ordered fashion. One or more second data records are sent on the second stream including second flow information for data sent through the network device. | 10-09-2008 |

| 20080222709 | Method for verification via information processing - Identification servers are small, perhaps embedded, systems that can be used as subsystems of a tracking and verification system. An identification server can obtain identification data when a trigger, called an identification event, occurs. The identification server can store the identification data in a database module with a key. The identification server can send a message containing the identification data or the key to a set of subscribing clients. Subscribing clients, such as a central database or a graphical user interface, are clients that subscribe to receive messages from the identification server. An identification server can trigger off of an identification message sent by another identification server. | 09-11-2008 |
