| 20090299190 | Ultrasound Molecular Sensors and Uses Thereof - The present invention relates to the use of polymers as contrast agents for ultrasounds. The idea is to have a molecular imprint in the polymer that is specific for a given molecule or analyte. When that molecule binds to the polymer it induces a conformational change that results in an increase in the ultrasound signal, referred to as a target-bound state. The method can also be used for example for quantitative measurements of analytes. | 12-03-2009 |
| 20110178402 | ULTRASONIC MEASUREMENT OF pH IN FLUIDS - The present invention pertains to new methods and apparatuses for the determination of pH of a fluid. Applicants have discovered that ultrasonic spectrophonometry (the study and measurement of acoustic spectra) can be used to distinguish conformational changes of albumin and red blood cells in response to pH. In accordance with the present invention, there is provided a method of determining the pH of a fluid based on a pH-dependent conformation of at least one fluid constituent comprising subjecting the fluid to an ultrasonic pulse; detecting ultrasonic spectral data of the fluid constituent resulting from the ultrasonic pulse; wherein the spectral data varies with pH; and then calculating pH from the spectral data. | 07-21-2011 |

| 20090066702 | Development Tool for Animated Graphics Application - A presentation engine collects information concerning the rendering of the frames of an animated graphics application, such the time taken for rendering the frame and the amount of memory used. This information quantifies the amount of certain computing resources being utilized on a per-frame basis, enabling identification by the authors of the animated graphics application, particularly by the designers of the animated graphics, of frames that are problematic, especially on resource-limited devices. The generation of information does not depend on the animated graphics application being instrumented to generate the metrics. The method is adaptable to any resource-limited device, to which the presentation engine is ported or adapted to run. When executing on a resource-limited device, the information is sent to a workstation for analysis. An analysis tool, which may be a stand-alone program or part of an authoring tool or other program, displays the collected metrics graphically in relation to the frame. | 03-12-2009 |
| 20090070440 | CONTROLLING PRESENTATION ENGINE ON REMOTE DEVICE - A communication mechanism or facility for enabling interaction with, and control of, a remote presentation engine for presenting a rich media application, such as one written using animated graphics allows the presentation engine to be configured or instructed remotely to perform certain actions, to send requests, and/or to send information, independently of the animated graphics application being executed. The communication facility between a workstation enables a presentation engine to pass a request by the application for resource stored on a workstation—an image file or a data file, for example—thereby creating a virtual file system. Local resource references can thus be maintained in the application during development without having to download all resources to the device in connection with testing | 03-12-2009 |
