| 20090199326 | RETRACTABLE EARPLUG ASSEMBLY FOR A HARDHAT - A retractable earplug assembly is provided that is configured to retrofit to a hardhat that includes a protective housing removably mountable to the hardhat. The earplug assembly further includes a guide base slideably cooperating with a guide portion of the housing for movement thereof along a fixed path. The earplug assembly includes an elongated flexible tether having a distal portion thereof mounted to an earplug device, and a proximal portion thereof mounted to the guide base. When the guide base is selectively moved along the fixed path, the tether and the earplug device move between a retracted condition and an extended condition, enabling usable access to the earplug device. | 08-13-2009 |
| 20110094007 | RETRACTABLE EARPLUG APPARATUS FOR AN EYEWEAR ASSEMBLY AND A VEST ASSEMBLY - An eyewear temple arm apparatus for an eyewear device including an elongated body member having a proximal end portion configured to mount to the eyewear device. The temple arm apparatus includes a functional element, an elongated flexible tether; and a guide base. The base is movably mounted to the elongated body member for movement thereof along a fixed path in a direction generally longitudinally therealong between a first position and a second position. In the first position, the guide bas is positioned proximate to a proximal portion of the body member, while in the second position, it is oriented proximate to a distal portion thereof. One end of the tether is mounted to the guide portion and an opposite end thereof is mounted to the functional element such that when guide base is moved between the first and second positions, the functional element is moved between a parked condition, parked relative to the body member, and an operational condition, positioning the functional element sufficiently away from the body member to enable operation thereof. | 04-28-2011 |

| 20090005693 | Medical Imaging Methods and Apparatus for Diagnosis and Monitoring of Diseases and Uses Therefor - Methods are disclosed for analyzing representations of one or more in situ structures in the body of a subject (e.g., a human subject or other animal subject) to glean information about the health of the subject. Methods are disclosed for diagnosing, staging, grading, and monitoring diseases. Methods also are disclosed for targeting treatments and screening, validating therapies based on the analysis of in situ patters (e.g., individual structural features or distributions), and monitoring the effectiveness of therapies. | 01-01-2009 |
| 20090328239 | BLOOD VESSEL IMAGING AND USES THEREFOR - Methods are disclosed for analyzing representations of one or more structures in the body of a subject (e.g., a human subject or other animal subject) to glean information about the health of the subject or to evaluate the subject's response to a therapy or other condition. Aspects of the invention relate to obtaining structural information from casts (e.g., vascular casts from animal models) and using the information as a reference for evaluating structures in the body of a subject. Methods are disclosed for diagnosing, staging, grading, and monitoring diseases. Methods also are disclosed for targeting treatments, monitoring the effectiveness of therapies, and/or screening or validating therapies based analyzing structures (e.g., vascular structures) in a subject and comparing them to reference structures observed in casts obtained from models (e.g., animal models) of related diseases or conditions. | 12-31-2009 |
| 20100159497 | Binned Micro-Vessel Density Methods and Apparatus - In one aspect, a method of obtaining micro-vessel density (MVD) measurements from an image of biological vasculature containing a plurality of vessels is provided. The method comprises acts of analyzing a region of interest of the image for each of a plurality of bins, each of the plurality of bins associated with a predetermined range of vessel sizes, the act of analyzing the region of interest including determining which of the plurality of bins that portions of any vessel subject matter identified in the region of interest belong based on a size associated with the respective portions of the vessel subject matter, and associating each portion of the vessel subject matter with the corresponding one of the plurality of bins to which the portion belongs, and computing at least one measurement for each of the plurality of bins, the at least one measurement related to the MVD of the portions of vessel subject matter associated with the respective bin. | 06-24-2010 |
| 20110103657 | METHODS OF OBTAINING GEOMETRY FROM IMAGES - In one aspect, a method of detecting at least on feature associated with a blood vessel in at least one image of at least one blood vessel using a matched filter adapted to respond to the at least one feature is provided. The method comprises applying a scale detection filter to selected voxels in the at least one image to determine a scale for the matched filter at each of the selected voxels, determining an orientation for the matched filter at each of the selected voxels, wherein determining the orientation is assisted by using the scale determined at each of the selected voxels, applying the matched filter at each of the selected voxels at the scale and the orientation determined at each of the selected voxels to obtain a filter response at each of the selected voxels, and analyzing the filter response at each of the selected voxels to determine if the respective voxel corresponds to the at least one feature. | 05-05-2011 |
