20140166182 | Drum Slip - An interchangeable drum slip that may be quickly installed to change the appearance of a drum and to provide protection to the drum shell. The drum slip is a rectangular piece of material that is pre-cut to precisely fit specific models of drums. Openings are cut into the material that correspond with hardware that is attached to the drum shell. A user installs the drum slip by placing the drum slip around the drum shell and securing the ends of the drum slip together. The openings in the drum slip fit over and around any hardware that is attached to the drum shell and any apertures formed in the drum shell. The ends of the drum slip are pulled together and secured with an adhesive. For some drums, the drum slip may be installed without disassembling any parts of the drum. For other drums, one or more drum heads and retaining hoops must be removed to install the drum slip. The drum slip may be transparent, and the drum slip may be made in any color and messages, designs, or information may be printed on or molded into the drum slip. Anyone can quickly and easily change drum slips to change the appearance of a drum. | 06-19-2014 |

20110212572 | SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE SUPPORT FOR BONDING - In one embodiment, a support structure comprises a base, a compliant layer, and a protective layer which is used to secure a semiconductor device, such as a lead-frame, to a window clamp during a bonding process. The compliant layer distributes even loading over the surface of the semiconductor device while clamped. In other embodiments, the compliant layer may be segmented into individual portions corresponding with openings in the window clamp. The window clamp may also have a compliant layer and a protective layer and may be used with or without a compliant layer on the support structure. Features on the protective layer may be included to support structures of the semiconductor device. | 09-01-2011 |

20100078568 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SCATTER NORMALIZATION OF PET IMAGES - In positron emission tomography (PET), a detector's response to scattered radiation may be different from its response to unscattered (true coincidence) photons. This difference should be accounted for during normalization and scatter correction. The disclosure shows that only a knowledge of the ratio of the scatter to trues efficiencies is necessary, however. A system and method are disclosed for measuring the scatter/trues detection efficiency ratio, as well as for applying this compensation during the scatter correction of PET emission data. PET detector efficiencies are measured in two steps, the first using a plane radiation source, and the second using a plane radiation source in combination with a scattering medium. A ratio of the scatter and trues detection efficiency is obtained from this data for each detector/crystal, and is applied as a correction factor to PET data obtained during medical imaging processes. | 04-01-2010 |
20130032721 | PET Scanner with Emission and Transmission Structures in a Checkerboard Configuration - Apparatuses, computer-readable mediums, and methods are provided. In one embodiment, a positron emission tomography (“PET”) detector array is provided which includes a plurality of crystal elements arranged in a two-dimensional checkerboard configuration. In addition, there are empty spaces in the checkerboard configuration. In various embodiments, the empty spaces are filled with passive shielding, transmission source assemblies, biopsy instruments, surgical instruments, and/or electromagnetic sensors. In various embodiments, the crystal elements and the transmission source assemblies simultaneously perform emission/transmission acquisitions. | 02-07-2013 |

20120184789 | PROCESS FOR HYDROPROCESSING OF NON-PETROLEUM FEEDSTOCKS - A method of hydroprocessing is performed wherein non-petroleum feedstocks, such as those containing from about 10% or more olefinic compounds or heteroatom contaminants by weight, are treated in a first reaction zone to provide reaction products. The process involves introducing the feedstock along with diluents or a recycle and hydrogen in a first reaction zone and allowing the feed and hydrogen to react in a liquid phase within the first reaction zone to produce reaction products. The reaction products are cooled and/or water is removed from the reaction products. At least a portion of the cooled and/or separated reaction product are introduced as a feed along with hydrogen into a second reaction zone containing a hydroprocessing catalyst. The feed and hydrogen are allowed to react in a liquid phase within the second reaction zone to produce a second-reaction-zone reaction product. | 07-19-2012 |
