| 20090064063 | Algorithmic reactive testbench for analog designs - An Algorithmic Reactive Testbench (ART) system is provided. The ART system is a high level verification environment with a user program in which on or more analog testbenches are instantiated and operated as prescribed in the program algorithm, and the properties of the unit testbenches (test objects) can be influenced by prior analysis of themselves or other tests. The results of the analysis may also affect the flow of the program itself. In the ART system, modification of the properties of a unit testbench occurs separately in the user program after definition of the unit testbench in the program (test object). A test object is a representation of a unit testbench along with its complete simulation setup and all associated data for the simulation. The test object may also contain various properties including information reflecting the status of the test object. The modification of a property of a test object is an act of communication in the ART system from the ART program to the test object. | 03-05-2009 |

| 20110131052 | Method for Passively Determining Changes in Residency - A system and method for determining residency based upon the comparison of existing data in various datasets. Information relating to a new utility account in a first jurisdiction is inputted. The inputted information is compared with stored account information from a second jurisdiction. If the inputted information matches the stored account information, the inputted information is compared to information relating to vehicle registrations in the second jurisdiction. If a matching vehicle registration is found in the second jurisdiction, the matching vehicle registration in the second jurisdiction is compared with vehicle registrations in the first jurisdiction. If no matching vehicle registration is found in the first jurisdiction, identifying a vehicle corresponding to the matching vehicle registration information in the second jurisdiction as an unregistered vehicle in the first jurisdiction. The steps may be repeated for third, fourth or many jurisdictions. | 06-02-2011 |

| 20100106823 | CONFIGURATION SYNCHRONIZATION BETWEEN ELECTRONIC GAMING MACHINES AND A SUPPORTING SERVER - An illustrative method manages configuration information of electronic gaming machines (EGMs) and maintains server configuration information at a server that supports EGMs in a server-client relationship. The server configuration information contains stored information about the configuration of each EGM. EGM configuration information transmitted from the EMGs is received at the server. The server and EGM configuration information each contains corresponding fields with values representing information about predetermined factors. The values in the fields of the server configuration information are compared with the values in corresponding fields of the EGM configuration information. A report is generated based on the comparison. | 04-29-2010 |

| 20090276239 | VALIDATED HEALTHCARE CLEANING AND SANITIZING PRACTICES - A validated healthcare facility cleaning and sanitizing system provides a comprehensive and systematic approach to cleaning and sanitizing practices at a hospital or other healthcare facility. The validated hospital cleaning system identifies hospital vectors of contamination; that is, sources through which hospital acquired infections (HAIs) may be spread. The validated system defines a plurality of modules within a healthcare facility, each having an associated cleaning process map designed to meet the particular cleaning and/or sanitizing needs and challenges faced by that module. Various stages of the cleaning process map include validation points, at which certain parameters designed to ensure proper cleaning and/or sanitizing of the module are verified. | 11-05-2009 |

| 20110275902 | DISTRACTOR - A surgical distractor for distracting tissue of a patient to access structure underlying the tissue of the patient. The distractor includes a tube having a distal end adapted for insertion in tissue, a proximal end opposite the distal end, an exterior surface adapted for contacting the tissue, and an interior surface opposite the exterior surface defining a hollow interior extending between the distal end and the proximal end for accessing structure underlying the tissue when the distal end is inserted in the tissue. The distractor is adjustable from a reduced configuration, in which the tube has a reduced width sized for inserting the distal end in the tissue, and an expanded configuration, in which the tube has an expanded width greater than the reduced width sized to provide the hollow interior with a size sufficient for accessing the structure underlying the tissue. | 11-10-2011 |

| 20100305580 | Instrument Guide System - A system is provided to align a surgical guide instrument over a burr hole in a patient's body. Adjustments of a surgical instrument can be made in x, y, z, and angular directions using the system. An instrument guide unit can include an instrument guide for guiding a surgical instrument into the body of a patient and a base unit operative to be secured to the body near an area in which surgery is to occur. The base unit is coupled to the instrument guide. An adjustment mechanism, coupled to the base unit and the instrument guide, is operative to adjust the instrument guide in lateral directions with respect the surface of the area. | 12-02-2010 |
