| 20110058700 | Inverse Horn Loudspeakers - In a low frequency transducer system a multi-compression chamber, inverse horn structure is employed in combination with a resonance-distortion filter chamber. The filter chamber effectively expands the effective enclosure volume at low frequencies and connected to one of the compression chambers filter parasitic resonances and distortion and allowing the system to more efficiently reproduce low frequencies while being able to use smaller diameter transducers and maintaining good system sensitivity. Compression chambers are organized for constant or continuous compression on a section-by-section basis throughout the inverse horn system. | 03-10-2011 |

| 20110125054 | DEVICE, SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MULTIPLE CORE BIOPSY - A core biopsy device having a forward-facing cutting edge with either single or dual counter rotating blades is configured to acquire multiple biopsy specimens and temporarily store them within a specimen chamber located beneath the cutting edge. The core biopsy device is insertable and removable from a biopsy channel of an endoscope. The core biopsy device includes an endoscopically visible ruler with depth gauge increments. Other embodiments include deployable depth stops to restrain the plunging of the specimen chamber to not exceed distances preset or selected by the user. Multiple samples contained within the specimen chamber are removed via flushing from a syringe adapter when the device is removed from the endoscope. Alternatively the multiple specimens are removed under applied suction to an external chamber located outside the patient. The order and orientation of the removed specimens are preserved. | 05-26-2011 |

| 20100265039 | Systems and Methods for Securing Control Systems - A system and a method for securing control systems for critical infrastructure, complex networks and/or industrial processing facilities. Aspects of the invention can include a proximity-based user identification device that generates a computer-readable identification of operators who are in proximity to a control device in the control system and an imaging device that captures a visual likeness of operators in proximity to the control device. A network sensor can read operation data from the control system. An overlay network can interconnect the proximity-based identification device, the imaging device, and the network sensor, and can interface to the control system without modifying the control system. Processing hardware can execute processor-implemented instructions to generate a correlation between at least a portion of the operation data and the control system, the computer-readable identification, and the visual likeness. The processor can then associate the correlation with the portion of the operation data. | 10-21-2010 |

| 20120127314 | ITEM IDENTIFICATION USING VIDEO RECOGNITION TO SUPPLEMENT BAR CODE OR RFID INFORMATION - A method and system for confirming the identity of a product in a security system and for determining sales-related information pertaining to the products. One or more products are associated with a product identification element, such as a bar code or an RFID tag. A reader or a scanner within the system receives a signal from the product identification element containing product identity information about the product. The system further includes a camera that captures a video image of the product. Signals representing the product identity information and the video image of the product are forwarded to a data correlation unit that determines if the product associated with the product identity information matches the product in the video image. | 05-24-2012 |
