20100154543Microsystem, More Particularly a Microgyrometer, With at Least Two Mechanically Coupled Oscillating Masses - The microsystem achieved in a flat substrate and comprises two oscillating masses connected to the substrate by suspension springs. The oscillating masses are coupled by a rigid coupling bar so as to produce an anti-phase movement of said oscillating masses when excitation of the latter is performed in a predefined excitation direction. The coupling bar is connected to intermediate zones of the corresponding suspension springs arranged on opposite sides of the oscillating masses. The intermediate zones are arranged between a first end of the suspension springs fixed to the corresponding oscillating mass, and a second end of the suspension springs fixed to the substrate by a corresponding anchoring point.06-24-2010
20100190301CAVITY CLOSURE PROCESS FOR AT LEAST ONE MICROELECTRONIC DEVICE - A process for closure of at least one cavity intended to encapsulate or be part of a microelectronic device, comprising the following steps: 07-29-2010
20110129757FUEL CELL WITH MEMBRANE/ELECTRODE STACK PERPENDICULAR TO THE SUPPORT SUBSTRATE AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING - A fuel cell includes at least one stack the main elements whereof are perpendicular to a support substrate. This stack is provided with an electrolytic membrane situated between a first and second electrode. The first and second electrodes each include a catalytic layer in contact with the electrolytic membrane. Each electrode includes an electrically conductive porous diffusion layer, and each stack is inserted between electrically conductive first and second support partitions perpendicular to the support substrate and constituting current collectors of the stack. The support partitions are electrically insulated from one another.06-02-2011
20110220470Electromechanical Actuator with Interdigitated Electrodes - A micromachined electromechanical (MEMS) actuator including, for example, an electrostatically actuated electrical switch, is provided, including a first set of conducting plates forming part of the movable element of the switch, interdigitated with a set of conducting plates forming part of the substrate. The plates are, in principle, vertical relative to the surface of the substrate; they are in partial heightwise overlap and a control voltage applied between the two sets of plates exerts a vertical force acting so as to move the movable element closer to the substrate. The conducting plates of the movable element are connected to one another by conducting end crosspieces connecting the ends of these plates so as to surround, laterally, the stationary conducting plates. The distance separating one stationary plate end from the mobile crosspiece is the same at both ends so that the forces exerted in the elongation direction of the plates cancel out. This distance is preferably the same for all the plates.09-15-2011

20090207015SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DEFINING AN EVENT BASED ON A RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN AN OBJECT LOCATION AND A USER-DEFINED ZONE - An improved system and method for defining an event based upon an object location and a user-defined zone and managing the conveyance of object location event information among computing devices where object location events are defined in terms of a condition based upon a relationship between user-defined zone information and object location information. One or more location information sources are associated with an object to provide the object location information. One or more user-defined zones are defined on a map and one or more object location events are defined. The occurrence of an object location event produces object location event information that is conveyed to users based on user identification codes. Accessibility to object location information, zone information, and object location event information is based upon an object location information access code, a zone information access code, and an object location event information access code, respectively.08-20-2009

20100049879Method for Developing and Implementing Efficient Workflow Oriented User Interfaces and Controls - A method for developing user interfaces to support efficient workflow implementation in an organization or in daily tasks of a typical consumer is disclosed. The method accounts for limitations in ability of a typical user of such interfaces to deal with more than about six elements of information or choices at any given step of a workflow. The method may include use of customized tools and other components developed to support implementation of user interfaces and data structures needed to implement user interfaces and associated data exchanges between client devices and applications on servers. The user interfaces, methods, tools, and other components may also be used to support user interfaces used to control software applications, information appliances, and other devices.02-25-2010

20080251407PLASTICS COMPOSITION AND PRODUCTS THEREOF - The invention provides a plastics composition including polyethylene terephtalate (PET), chain extending agent, compatibilising agent, and one or more of polyolefin (PO), polyamide (PA), and vinyl thermoplastics. The plastics composition may include one or more of an impact modifier, an extrusion aid, lubricant, a reinforcing filler, flame retardant, organic filler, foaming agent or other modifying additive. The plastics composition may be a thermoplastics composition. The PET may include post consumer PET. At least 30% by mass of the PET may be post consumer PET, typically at least 50% by mass, and even in excess of 90% by mass. It may also be 100% virgin—of all the different grades commercially available—inclusive of PET G co-polymer. The invention extends to a process and to items made of the composition.10-16-2008

20110142324METHOD OF RECONSTITUTING CELLULAR SPECTRA USEFUL FOR DETECTING CELLULAR DISORDERS - Embodiments of the present disclosure provides improved methods for determining the presence of abnormalities in exfoliated cells. In one embodiment, the present disclosure provides methods for reconstructing cellular spectrum of a cell sample by creating a spectral map of the cellular sample, generating a binary mask of the spectral map, removing edge artifacts from each cell, and co-adding spectral data of each pixel corresponding to the cell to reconstruct the spectrum of each cell.06-16-2011
20110248166TUNABLE LASER-BASED INFRARED IMAGING SYSTEM AND METHOD OF USE THEREOF - Methods, devices, and systems for imaging tissue and other samples or samples using infrared (IR) transmissions from coherent transmission sources, such as a wide range, tunable, quantum cascade laser (QCL) designed for the rapid collection of infrared microscopic data for medical diagnostics across a wide range of discrete spectral increments. The infrared transmissions are transmitted through, reflected from, and/or transreflected through a sample, and then magnified and/or focused prior to being detected by a detector. After detection, the sample related image data is used to assess the sample. Such methods, devices, and systems may be used to detect abnormalities in tissue, for example, before such abnormalities can be diagnosed using art cytopathological methods. The methods, devices and systems may also optionally include a visible light detection subsystem and/or a motion control subsystem to assist in control and processing of imaging.10-13-2011
