20090122695METHOD, APPARATUS AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR REDUNDANT RING COMMUNICATION - Sets of communication modules each have a pair of ring-channel ports for a ring-configured channel in a network, a peripheral device port for peripheral device data, and dual-ring ports for an inter-ring channel for the pair of modules. First and second ones of a set of communication modules send duplicate data packets on their respective first and second rings. Responsive to duplicate data packets arriving via the rings at first and second modules in a next set within a predetermined time interval of one another, each of the next modules transmits its ring-channel received data packet out a downstream ring-channel port. Responsive to one of the duplicate packets arriving at the DRP of a module a predetermined time interval before arriving at a ring-channel port of the module, the module sends the corresponding packet received at the DRP out its other ring-channel port and its peripheral device port.05-14-2009
20090125639METHOD, APPARATUS AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR RING NETWORK COMMUNICATION - Communication modules are coupled in a communication ring and are operable to send and receive data from peripheral devices. The modules are operable to send and receive data streams on paths of the ring, and each module is operable, responsive to receiving a predetermined initialization signal, to operate as a master for initially blocking data in the first path and initially sending a block signal to a neighboring module downstream in the second path. The modules are operable, responsive to receiving the block signal in one of the paths, to block data in that one of the paths, so that responsive to initialization of one of the modules as a master, the master and the neighboring module create an inactive virtual link therebetween in order to prevent data from propagating around the ring more than once.05-14-2009

20090079743DISPLAYING ANIMATION OF GRAPHIC OBJECT IN ENVIRONMENTS LACKING 3D REDNDERING CAPABILITY - Three dimensional (3D) animations of an avatar graphic object are displayed in an environment that lacks high quality real-time 3D animation rendering capability. Before the animation is displayed in the environment at runtime, corresponding 3D and 2D reference models are created for the avatar. The 2D reference model is provided in a plurality of different views or reference angles. A 3D animation rendering program is used to produce 3D motion data for each animation. The 3D motion data define a position and rotation of parts of the 3D reference model. Image files are prepared for art assets drawn on associated parts of the 2D reference model in all views. At runtime in the environment, the position, rotation, and layer of each avatar part in 3D space is mapped to 2D space for each successive frame of an animation, with selected art assets applied to the associated parts of the avatar.03-26-2009

20090078047Non-invasive multi-function sensor system - An integrated multi-function sensor system has a head having a slot to accept a tube of a deformable material and a plurality of sensor elements mounted in the walls of the head slot to confront a tube in the slot, each sensor element being for affecting sensing of a condition relating to a liquid in the tube. An integrated electronic circuit including a microprocessor operates to determine the various conditions of a liquid flowing in the tube sensed by the sensor elements, which conditions include detection of air bubbles and/or particles by ultrasonic sensing elements, detection of an occlusion in the liquid flow by sensing the deformation of the tube wall by a force sensing element, determining the temperature of the liquid by an infrared temperature sensing element, and determining the color of the liquid by optical elements.03-26-2009
20100132453Bottom up contact type ultrasonic continuous level sensor - An ultrasonic sensor for measuring the level of liquid in a vessel has an elongated tubular probe, a tube within the probe, and a transducer that converts electrical energy to ultrasonic energy mounted at or near one end of the tube so as to transmit ultrasonic energy horizontally across the probe. An element having a surface that reflects ultrasonic energy is at an angle, preferably of about 45°, to the probe longitudinal axis opposite to an ultrasonic energy emitting part of the transducer to reflect ultrasonic energy received from the transducer upwardly in the probe to an air-liquid interface from which it is downwardly reflected to the angled reflector element that directs the energy reflected from the interface back to the transducer for conversion to an electrical signal that is used by an electronic module to measure the liquid level in the probe which is the liquid level in the vessel.06-03-2010
20110009800DIALYSIS SYSTEMS INCLUDING NON-INVASIVE MULTI-FUNCTION SENSOR SYSTEMS - A dialysis system that includes a dialysis machine, a tube connected to the dialysis machine, and a sensor system. The sensor system includes a head having a slot configured to receive the tube and a plurality of sensors secured to the head adjacent the slot. At least one of the plurality of sensors includes a light emitting element configured to transmit light through the tube when the tube is disposed in the slot and a light receiving element configured to receive the light emitted by the light emitting element after the light passes trough the tube.01-13-2011
