| 20100046327 | Methods and Systems to Detect Changes in Multiple-Frequency Band Sonar Data - Methods and systems to detect changes in a region of space relative to baseline measurements, including to process data to detect potential objects, or contacts against a natural background environment, to characterize and geo-register the contacts, to compare and correlate the contacts with a database of known objects, and to report uncorrelated contacts as new objects in the space. Features disclosed herein may be implemented to process image data from a line-by-line image-generation system including, for example, side-looking sonar. Methods and system may be implemented with respect to multi-frequency band sonar data. | 02-25-2010 |

| 20120092812 | HANDHELD DIABETES MANAGER WITH TOUCH SCREEN DISPLAY - A handheld diabetes manager having a blood glucose measurement engine comprises a housing having a blood glucose measuring engine and a printed circuit board disposed in the housing. A touch screen can be coupled to the housing. The touch screen can have a transparent portion surrounded by a non-transparent portion. The non-transparent portion can have adhesive thereon that seals the touch screen to the housing. A flexible connector can electrically connect at least two independent electrical leads between the touch screen and the printed circuit board. An antenna assembly can be disposed in the housing and comprise a molded carrier, a conductive portion on the molded carrier and a speaker. The conductive portion can be electrically connected to the printed circuit board and be configured to receive a radio signal. The carrier can include a recess that receives the speaker and is configured to project sound from the speaker. | 04-19-2012 |

| 20110215192 | LANDING GEAR STEERING SYSTEMS - A steering system for aircraft landing gear can be used, for example, for controlling one or more axles of a bogie style landing gear system, such as, but not limited to, a six-wheel bogie style landing gear system. The steering system includes a rack having a plurality of rack teeth. An actuator is operatively connected to move the rack in a linear direction. A pinion has a plurality of pinion teeth in meshing engagement with the rack teeth. The pinion includes a pinion body extending between the pinion teeth and a pinion pivot that is spaced apart from the pinion teeth. The actuator, rack, and pinion are configured and adapted so that linear motion of the rack imparted by the actuator results in rotation of the pinion about the pinion pivot for steering landing gear wheels. | 09-08-2011 |

| 20090299455 | Rotatable catheter assembly - Embodiments of the present disclosure include methods and systems for a catheter assembly including a catheter shaft, a balloon positioned on the catheter shaft, where the balloon has a first balloon waist, a first lead extending longitudinally through the catheter shaft, and a first sealing member adjacent the first balloon waist and coupled to the first lead, where the first lead can provide electrical current to reversibly transition the first sealing member from a nonactivated state to an activated state in response to a temperature change in the first sealing member, and where at least a portion of the balloon rotates relative the catheter shaft in the nonactivated state and the first sealing member engages the first balloon waist to form a fluid tight seal and to prevent rotation of the balloon relative the catheter shaft in the activated state. | 12-03-2009 |
| 20100057174 | ELECTRICALLY CONDUCTIVE PATHWAYS IN MEDICAL DEVICES - Apparatuses, systems, and methods for electrically conductive pathways in medical devices. One embodiment of a medical device can include an elongate polymeric body having a proximal end and a distal end. Discrete particles of an electrically conductive material in the elongate polymeric body can form an electrically conductive pathway that extends at least partially between the proximal end and the distal end of the elongate polymeric body. | 03-04-2010 |
| 20100298923 | ROTATABLE CATHETER ASSEMBLY - Embodiments of the present disclosure include methods and systems for a catheter assembly including a catheter shaft, a balloon positioned on the catheter shaft, where the balloon has a first balloon waist, a first lead extending longitudinally through the catheter shaft, and a first sealing member adjacent the first balloon waist and coupled to the first lead, where the first lead can provide electrical current to reversibly transition the first sealing member from a nonactivated state to an activated state in response to a temperature change in the first sealing member, and where at least a portion of the balloon rotates relative the catheter shaft in the nonactivated state and the first sealing member engages the first balloon waist to form a fluid tight seal and to prevent rotation of the balloon relative the catheter shaft in the activated state. | 11-25-2010 |

| 20100302507 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR RETINAL HEALTH MANAGEMENT - A method for quantifying disease progression through retinal health assessment and management. The method comprises obtaining a first image of a retina or iris at a point in time; generating a first vascular map of the first image of the retina or the iris; obtaining a second image of the retina or the iris at a later point in time; generating a second vascular map of the second image of the retina or the iris; registering the first image and the second image on the basis of the first vascular map and the second vascular map; and displaying at least one difference between the registered first image and the second image to quantify a disease progression. | 12-02-2010 |
