| 20090129644 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR EFFICIENT WORKFLOW IN READING MEDICAL IMAGE DATA - A system provides methods to significantly improve the efficiency of reading medical image data. The workflow panel provides a grouping of tasks for reviewing and comparing medical images. Tablets are created for each task, consolidating the tools and associated hanging protocols to efficiently perform the actions for that task. The 3D navigation point keeps the current spatial focus point within the field of view as the user transitions between series, orientations, hanging protocols, and zoom levels. The spatial zoom method provides consistent zooming of series with varying fields of view and spatial resolution. Having the ability to overlay the parametric map on any series, regardless of its orientation or field of view, allows the user to correlate the parametric map with features on the non-temporal series. Integrating all of these methods with the workflow panel allows users to quickly step through the tasks in a workflow with minimal user actions. | 05-21-2009 |

| 20110018862 | Gaze Intent Estimation for Retargeting of Characters - Any image capturing system, and a method to use same, that includes one or more image capturing devices that have known and fixed positions relative to one another and the eye of a subject, wherein the image capturing devices capture a plurality of images of eye of a subject during a performance is disclosed. The images of the eye, along with the known and fixed relative positions of the image capturing devices are used define eye-lines for the eye of the subject. The eye-lines can then be used to manually or automatically retarget the eye of a rendered or animated figure based on the performance of the subject to retarget the gaze intent of the rendered or animated figure within a scene. | 01-27-2011 |
| 20110025685 | COMBINED GEOMETRIC AND SHAPE FROM SHADING CAPTURE - An image capturing system includes one or more image capturing devices and one or more illumination sources that have known and fixed positions relative to one another, wherein the illumination source is held constant or can be calibrated to provide a known illumination level on a subject, such that the variation in shading at various points on the surface of the subject, with different orientations relative to the illumination source, can be used to determine the orientation of the surface of the subject and thereby used to more accurately render an image or other representation of the subject. | 02-03-2011 |

| 20110064084 | PIPELINED PACKET SWITCHING AND QUEUING ARCHITECTURE - An architecture for a line card in a network routing device is provided. The line card architecture provides a bi-directional interface between the routing device and a network, both receiving packets from the network and transmitting the packets to the network through one or more connecting ports. In both the receive and transmit path, packets processing and routing in a multi-stage, parallel pipeline that can operate on several packets at the same time to determine each packet's routing destination is provided. Once a routing destination determination is made, the line card architecture provides for each received packet to be modified to contain new routing information and additional header data to facilitate packet transmission through the switching fabric. The line card architecture further provides for the use of bandwidth management techniques in order to buffer and enqueue each packet for transmission through the switching fabric to a corresponding destination port. The transmit path of the line card architecture further incorporates additional features for treatment and replication of multicast packets. | 03-17-2011 |

| 20090276935 | Disposable and sanitory upper torso garment for shielding the skin of a person from a brassiere - A method of shielding the skin, especially the armpits and the midriff, of a person from a brassiere when the person tries on the brassiere. The method includes the step of wearing, by the person, a disposable and sanitary upper garment, which includes an upper torso enclosure and a pair of short sleeves. The upper torso garment covers the upper torso of the person and has a neck opening to allow passage of the head of the person therethrough. The pair of short sleeves extend from the upper torso garment and allow passage of the arms of the person therethrough. The disposable and sanitary upper torso garment is made from a manufactured fiber in which the fiber forming substance is a long-chain synthetic polyamide in which less than 85% of the amide-linkages are attached directly (—CO—NH—) to two aliphatic groups, so as to allow the disposable and sanitary upper torso garment to conform to the contour of the upper torso of the person without changing the contour of the upper torso of the person to thereby allow proper fit of the brassiere. | 11-12-2009 |

| 20100004521 | IMPLANTABLE VOLTAIC CELL - The invention provides a voltaic cell for implantation into the body of a subject that oxidizes oxidizable biological material to generate current to do work. The voltaic cell comprises a biologically inert shell having an inner compartment containing a cathodic environment and an anodic environment on the outer surface of the shell that is in contact with bodily fluid. A connector connects the anodic environment to the cathodic environment and has a component that provides resistance between the anodic and cathodic environments. The shell contains at least one salt bridge disposed within the shell that permits passage of small ions between the inner compartment and the bodily fluid, thereby completing the circuit. The invention also provides devices such as a glucometer which continuously detects glucose and transmits a signal to an external device which provides an output, such as blood glucose level. Methods of using the same are also provided. | 01-07-2010 |
