| 20110107254 | TRANSFORMING DATA TABLES INTO MULTI-DIMENSIONAL PROJECTIONS WITH AGGREGATIONS - A data table transformer includes a data receiving module configured to receive a set of rows, each row with a set of attributes, as input data. The data receiving module is also configured to receive locations for at least some of the attributes as zero-based edges. Layers of the edge are presented from the slowest to the fastest varying layers. The data receiving module is further configured to receive a designation of data values that appear at intersections of edge attributes from the same row. The data table transformer is also configured to walk input data by row and for each edge attribute, to distribute the value of the edge attribute to an edge tree created for each zero-based edge location. The data table transformer is further configured to display the data with a multi-dimensional, crosstabular display. | 05-05-2011 |

| 20090087066 | Method and system for vessel enhancement and artifact reduction in TOF MR angiography of brain - A method and system for vessel enhancement and artifact reduction in a 3D time-of-flight (TOF) magnetic resonance (MR) angiography brain image. An intensity-based threshold is used to extract structures of interest in the brain image. Vessels are isolated in the structures of interest by filtering the structures based on a vesselness measure. The vessels are then enhanced by multiplying the filtered image by a coefficient map based on intensities of the original brain image. The scalp is detected in the enhanced image, and the scalp is removed from the enhanced image to generate a noise-reduce enhanced image. | 04-02-2009 |
| 20100121175 | Automatic Femur Segmentation And Condyle Line Detection in 3D MR Scans For Alignment Of High Resolution MR - A method for automatic femur segmentation and condyle line detection. The method includes: scanning a knee of a patient with medical imaging equipment to obtain 3D imaging data with such equipment; processing the obtained 3D imaging data in a digital processor to determine two lines tangent to the bottom of the knee condyles in an axial and a coronal plane; and automatically scanning the patient in the defined plane. The processing includes: determining an approximate location of the knee; using the determined the location to define a volume of interest; segmenting the femur in the defined volume of interest; and determining a bottom point on the femur portion on a right side and a left side of the segmented femur in an axial and a coronal slice to determine the two lines. | 05-13-2010 |
| 20110071383 | VISUALIZATION OF ABNORMALITIES OF AIRWAY WALLS AND LUMENS - An exemplary embodiment of the present invention includes a method of visualizing an airway of a bronchial tree. The method includes generating a tree model from an airway segmentation of a bronchial tree, determining a lumen, a wall thickness, and an adjacent artery for a branch of the tree model, determining whether the lumen of the branch has a first abnormal state and the wall thickness of the branch has a second abnormal state based on the adjacent artery, and illustrating the branch in one of a plurality of visually distinct styles based on the first and second abnormal states. | 03-24-2011 |
| 20110085716 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR VERIFYING REGISTRATION ACCURACY IN DIGITAL MEDICAL IMAGES - A method of verifying a registration of a digital image includes receiving a reference image and a moving image registered to the reference image representing the same object, selecting one or more landmarks in the images, defining a neighborhood in the domain of each image near each selected landmark, extracting feature sets from the neighborhoods for the reference image and the registered moving image, calculating a total quality measure of the registration of the moving image from a distance metric applied to the feature sets extracted from the neighborhoods of the reference image and the registered moving image, comparing the total quality measure to a threshold determined from a reference atlas for the object represented in the image, and determining whether to accept or reject the registration of the moving image based on the comparison result. | 04-14-2011 |

| 20090100811 | Inertial Gas-Liquid Separator with Constrictable and Expansible Nozzle Valve Sidewall - An inertial gas-liquid separator has one or more nozzle valves having a sidewall and a downstream exit axial end radially constrictable and expansible to vary axial flow of a gas-liquid stream therethrough to an inertial impactor collector. | 04-23-2009 |
| 20090120854 | Inertial Gas-Liquid Separator with Valve and Variable Flow Actuator - A self-governing continuously variable inertial gas-liquid separator has an axially movable valve controlling axial flow through a nozzle orifice, and a variable flow controller upstream of and controlling the valve. | 05-14-2009 |
| 20100064646 | ELLIPTICAL SEAL INTERFACE FOR FILTER ASSEMBLY - A filter assembly is described that includes a unique seal configuration between a filter and a housing. The filter has a filter media that allows fluid to be filtered therethrough, and has an endplate with an opening that allows fluid to flow into or out of the filter media. The endplate has a main surface with an elliptical spud protruding outward from the main surface and surrounding the opening. An oval seal is disposed about an outer surface of the elliptical spud. The housing is releasably connected to the filter, and has a mounting component. The mounting component has an elliptical boss that mates with the elliptical spud and seals against the oval seal. | 03-18-2010 |

The disclosed systems include a filter element which, when installed in the system, contacts and moves a valve to an open drainage position to permit flow of liquid through the system. In the disclosed systems, the filter element and valve also are configured such that under excess pressure conditions the valve permits the gas phase to bypass filter media of the filter element. In particular, the disclosed coalescer systems may be utilized in a CV system in order to remove oil mist from gas in the CV system. | 05-19-2011 |

| 20100192139 | EFFICIENT PER-THREAD SAFEPOINTS AND LOCAL ACCESS - Some embodiments of the present invention provide a system that implements a safepoint for a thread, which includes a compiler and a runtime environment. During compilation of an application to be executed by the thread, the compiler obtains a register to be associated with the thread and inserts safepoint code into the application, wherein the safepoint code includes an indirect load from a memory location stored in the register to the register. During execution of the application by the thread, the runtime environment writes a thread-specific value for the thread to the register, wherein the thread-specific value corresponds to an enabled value, a triggered value, or a disabled value. In these embodiments, executing the indirect load by the thread causes the thread to trap if the thread-specific value corresponds to the triggered value. | 07-29-2010 |

| 20100124759 | MICROFLUIDIC DROPLETS FOR METABOLIC ENGINEERING AND OTHER APPLICATIONS - The present invention relates generally to the use of droplets to culture and/or assay cells or other species. In some cases, the cells or other species may be sorted based upon the results of the culture and/or assay. In some embodiments, cells other species can be encapsulated in droplets and exposed to one or more agents (e.g., a sugar, an indicator dye, etc.). For instance, in some cases, exposure of cells to the agents may result in the production of metabolites or other compounds (e.g., amino acids, proteins, organic acids, etc.) which may be, for example, assayed or otherwise determined. In some embodiments, the reaction of an agent with cells and/or other species within a droplet may reveal a property of the cells or other species (e.g., sugar consumption, growth rate, ability to withstand exposure to the agent, etc.). As an example, cells that produce desired metabolites or exhibit certain properties may be separated from the other cells via sorting techniques. Other aspects of the invention relate to devices or kits for implementing such sorts, methods of promoting such techniques, or the like. | 05-20-2010 |
