20090010384FULL FIELD MAMMOGRAPHY WITH TISSUE EXPOSURE CONTROL, TOMOSYNTHESIS, AND DYNAMIC FIELD OF VIEW PROCESSING - A mammography system using a tissue exposure control relying on estimates of the thickness of the compressed and immobilized breast and of breast density to automatically derive one or more technic factors. The system further uses a tomosynthesis arrangement that maintains the focus of an anti-scatter grid on the x-ray source and also maintains the field of view of the x-ray receptor. Finally, the system finds an outline that forms a reduced field of view that still encompasses the breast in the image, and uses for further processing, transmission or archival storage the data within said reduced field of view.01-08-2009

20100003381MOBILE CONCENTRATION SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MILK - A mobile concentration system (MCS) for milk comprising: a vehicle having a holding tank for receiving and holding milk; and a concentration system mounted to the vehicle and coupled in fluid communication with the holding tank. The concentration system adapted to remove milk from the holding tank and process the milk while the vehicle is stationary and/or uploading or unloading of milk, or underway. The concentration system including a reverse osmosis filtration system adapted receive the milk from the holding tank and process the milk to generate a stream of substantially water and a product stream of concentrated milk. A feed section comprises product/water/CIP (clean in place) valving systems, high pressure pumping equipment operating to receive and pressurize the milk through-out the system. A concentration level control system includes a control valve regulating the concentrate flow to achieve a fixed system operating pressure to control the system. A method of collecting and concentrating milk from the concentration system comprising: under pressure, depositing milk into a holding tank; drawing milk from the holding tank while the vehicle is stationary and/or uploading or unloading of milk, or underway and directing the milk to the concentration system carried by the vehicle; and operating the concentration system while the vehicle is stationary and/or uploading or unloading of milk, or underway to remove water from the milk by reverse osmosis filtration system in combination with the concentration level control system.01-07-2010

20090327259AUTOMATIC CONCEPT CLUSTERING - A method of identifying thematic groups of nodes by analysis of a corpus of documents. The method uses a distance metric based on connectedness of nodes, which is derived from a co-occurrence measure. The invention is also embodied as a computer-implemented visualization tool that generates a display of nodes and thematic groupings. The invention is useful for ‘data mining’ a large corpus of documents, particularly textual documents, to extract relevant information.12-31-2009

20090185959Distributed networked ozonation system - Embodiments of the present invention provide a distributed networked ozonation system for ozonation of storage rooms containing fresh or perishable products, and also may be useful in other applications involving multiple ozonated zones. An exemplary embodiment uses a set of distributed ozone generators connected to a communication network. An exemplary ozone generator comprises an ozone sensor, an ozone-generating cell, and a controller, and also may comprise an air cooling unit with an ozone destruct air filter, so that the generator may be placed within an ozonated environment. The ozone level of the storage area may be under closed-loop feedback control. The controller may communicate with other controllers at the same site and with a site controller, which in turn may communicate with a remote controller.07-23-2009
