| 20110267419 | ACCELERATED INSTANT REPLAY FOR CO-PRESENT AND DISTRIBUTED MEETINGS - Techniques for recording and replay of a live conference while still attending the live conference are described. A conferencing system includes a user interface generator, a live conference processing module, and a replay processing module. The user interface generator is configured to generate a user interface that includes a replay control panel and one or more output panels. The live conference processing module is configured to extract information included in received conferencing data that is associated with one or more conferencing modalities, and to display the information in the one or more output panels in a live manner (e.g., as a live conference). The replay processing module is configured to enable information associated with the one or more conferencing modalities corresponding to a time of the conference session prior to live to be presented at a desired rate, possibly different from the real-time rate, if a replay mode is selected in the replay control panel. | 11-03-2011 |

| 20110213450 | MEDICAL DEVICE DELIVERY SYSTEM - A medical device delivery system for remotely deploying a stent or similar medical device is disclosed. The medical device delivery system includes a delivery device having a handle engaged to an elongated barrel with a puller arrangement attached to an elongated outer catheter defining a distal end engaged to a catheter tip that collectively encapsulates the medical device. The handle includes a trigger actuator operatively engaged to a drive mechanism with a lead screw that drives the puller arrangement along the barrel. During deployment, the trigger actuator is actuated by the user, which activates the drive mechanism and rotates the lead screw for moving the puller arrangement to automatically deploy the medical device. In manual operation, the user disengages the lead screw from the puller arrangement and manually moves the puller arrangement toward the handle to manually deploy the medical device rather than actuate the trigger actuator. | 09-01-2011 |

| 20080236111 | Bitless Bridle with Crossover Reinstrap Stabilizer - A bitless bridle with crossover reinstrap stabilizer in English and Western style for riding, driving and training horses and like animals that achieves improved turning and slowing/stopping by threading reinstraps through a crossover reinstrap stabilizer under the horse's jaw, lining the inside of the noseband with rubber gripping or similar textured material, and improved arrangement of component straps. In both styles, a single crownpiece strap over the poll attaches on each side of the face to reinstraps that pass across the animal's cheek, through a crossover rein strap stabilizer under its jaw, then through rings attached to a noseband, and finally to reins. Pulling on a single rein places pressure on the reinstrap on the cheek of the opposite side of the animal's head, causing it to turn in the direction pulled. Pulling on a both reins places pressure on the noseband and the poll, causing the animal to slow or stop. | 10-02-2008 |
