| 20110201908 | INTERMITTENT EXTRACORPOREAL SPECTROPHOTOMETRY - An apparatus for intermittent measurement of blood parameters using spectrophotometry is provided. In exemplary embodiments, blood is temporarily withdrawn from the patient and passed through a cuvette, allowing spectrophotometric analysis. This blood may then immediately returned to the patient in a sterile fashion. The technique allows for real-time analysis of blood at the bedside without delays in transportation and laboratory analysis. In exemplary embodiments, there is no blood loss, so measurements can be repeated frequently with no detriment to the patient. In exemplary embodiments, the spectrophotometer is detachable from the cuvette and does not come in contact with blood, such that it can be used for multiple patients with minimal cost. The apparatus may be used to measure the oxygen saturation of blood and hemoglobin concentration, although it could be easily adapted to measure these and many other parameters simultaneously. | 08-18-2011 |

| 20090100723 | Soft, Elastic, Plasticizer-Free Thermoplastic Polyurethane And Process To Synthesize The Same - The present invention discloses a thermoplastic polyurethane which is comprised of the reaction product of (1) a hydroxyl terminated intermediate, (2) a polyisocyanate, and (3) a glycol chain extender selected from the group consisting of ethylene glycol and propylene glycol; wherein the hydroxyl terminated intermediate is selected from the group consisting of hydroxyl terminated polyether intermediates and hydroxyl terminated polyester intermediates; wherein the hydroxyl terminated intermediate is comprised of repeat units that are derived from a branched glycol or is comprised of at least 2 different repeating units; wherein the thermoplastic polyurethane has a weight average molecular weight of at least 100,000 Daltons; wherein the thermoplastic polyurethane includes hard segments that are the reaction product of the polyisocyanate and the glycol chain extender; and wherein the hard segments represent from 10 to 40 weight percent of the total weight of the thermoplastic polyurethane. | 04-23-2009 |
| 20100239803 | Thermoplastic Polyurethane With Reduced Tendency To Bloom - The present invention discloses a thermoplastic polyurethane which is comprised of the reaction product of (1) a hydroxyl terminated polyester intermediate, (2) a polyisocyanate, and (3) a glycol chain extender; wherein the hydroxyl terminated polyester intermediate is comprised of repeat units that are derived from 1,3-propylene glycol and a dicarboxylic acid; wherein the hydroxyl terminated polyester intermediate has a number average molecular weight from 500 to 10,000; and wherein the thermoplastic polyurethane includes hard segments that are the reaction product of the polyisocyanate and the glycol chain extender. This thermoplastic polyurethane is unique in that it has a greatly reduced tendency to bloom. This is highly desirable in applications where high clarity is desired because blooming causes articles containing the thermoplastic polyurethane to be hazy or foggy in appearance. Blooming can also reduce the ability of an article made with the thermoplastic polyurethane to be securely bound to another article with an adhesive. | 09-23-2010 |

| 20120031615 | ABRASIVE PERFORATOR WITH FLUID BYPASS - An abrasive perforator tool with a bypass flow channel. The tool comprises a tubular body or housing with perforating nozzles in the sidewall. A sleeve assembly inside the central bore of the tool provides for sequential deployment of first and second sleeves. Prior to deployment of the sleeve assembly, pressurized fluid can be passed through the tool to operate other tools beneath the perforator in the bottom hole assembly. Deployment of the first sleeve diverts pressurized fluid through the nozzles for perforating. Deployment of the second sleeve redirects the pressurized flow through the outlet of the tool to resume operation of other tools below the perforator. | 02-09-2012 |

| 20090121729 | System and Method for Current Measurement - Load current of a circuit is determined across a component of the circuit by calibrating the resistance of the component with a reference current having a distinguishable characteristic. For example, a reference current with swept frequency modulation is applied to the component so that the resistance of the component is determined from voltage drop associated with the reference current across the component. The component resistance is applied to a voltage drop associated with the load current to determine the load current. For example, a filter matched to the reference current frequency modulation isolates the reference current voltage drop so that a ratio of the reference current voltage drop and the load current voltage drop provides a ratio of the reference current and load current. | 05-14-2009 |
| 20100097019 | System and Method for Providing Cooling Fan Characteristic Feedback - A device comprising a fan controller, an encoder, a driver, a resistor/capacitor filter, and a baseboard management controller.

The encoder is configured to encode the cooling fan status signal and the cooling fan information data signal together into a combined signal. The driver is configured to invert the combined signal and to output an inverted signal. The resistor/capacitor filter is configured to filter out the cooling fan information data signal from the inverted signal, and to output a filtered signal. The baseboard management controller is configured to determine a status of a cooling fan in response to the filtered signal, and to output a control signal to the fan controller module for the cooling fan based on the cooling fan information data signal within the inverted signal. | 04-22-2010 |

| 20080201759 | VERSION-RESILIENCE BETWEEN A MANAGED ENVIRONMENT AND A SECURITY POLICY - A method and system for enforcing a security policy that is version-independent of a managed environment when loading custom code for a host application is provided. A security system of the managed environment receives an identifier of custom code to be loaded by the host application. Before loading the identified custom code, the managed environment enforces the security policy using the security system. The security system applies the security policy expressed using a version-independent indication of identifiers of untrusted custom code. If the security system determines that the trust of the custom code is unknown, then the security system requests a trust manager associated with the host application to enforce a host application-specific security policy. When the custom code is trusted, the managed environment loads the custom code. | 08-21-2008 |
