| 20090062692 | Laparoscopic instrument and method for distance measurements of body parts - A laparoscopic instrument includes an elongated barrel portion which mountably extends between operable parts for engagement with internal structures and organs of a subject patient, which are disposed at a first end of the barrel portion, and an actuating mechanism disposed at a second end of the barrel portion which remains outside the patient and which allows actuation of the instrument by the surgeon, for example by hand manipulation. The operable parts include two jaw parts which collectively define a clamp in which an opening size between the two jaw parts is selectively alterable by operation of the actuating mechanism. The operable parts further include a distance displacement sensor to effect distance measurement when the body part of the patient is received between the jaw parts and the instrument moved there along. | 03-05-2009 |
| 20110087135 | Stethoscope, stethoscope attachment and collected data analysis method and system - A device for converting acoustic data collected by a stethoscope into digital data for transmission to a processor for storage and/or comparison with data stored in a database, and to optionally provide computer generated suggestions for diagnosis, is provided in the form of an in-line device interposable between a head of the stethoscope and an acoustic transmission portion of the stethoscope, or is integral with the head, and advantageously has the appearance of an icon of pleasing appearance, for example, a butterfly, in which are incorporated the structural requisites of a functioning stethoscope and/or capabilities for receiving and transmitting to a diagnostician, audio signals gathered from patient examination, and optionally also other data collected at examination and/or following the examination. The butterfly-shaped device, includes a central body advantageously serving as a conduit for transmitting sound received from the patient to the physician or a remote system for analysis and diagnosis. | 04-14-2011 |

| 20110069138 | MIMICKING HUMAN VISUAL SYSTEM IN DETECTING BLOCKINESS ARTIFACTS IN COMPRESSED VIDEO STREAMS - A low complexity block-based, no-reference objective blockiness metric is provided that may be combined with other artifact metrics to measure overall quality of received video stream in a video conferencing application such that measures can be taken at the transmitter or in post-processing to enhance video quality. Prior knowledge of the blockiness boundaries may be used to reduce number of computations in determining the blockiness of a particular video frame. | 03-24-2011 |
| 20110069142 | MAPPING PSYCHO-VISUAL CHARACTERISTICS IN MEASURING SHARPNESS FEATURE AND BLURRING ARTIFACTS IN VIDEO STREAMS - A block-based, no-reference sharpness metric is provided taking advantage of Human Visual System (HVS) characteristics. Texture and smooth region blocks are excluded in computing the metric since sharpness is perceived mostly around edges. Overall sharpness metric is computed by pooling simulated combination of information in human brain employing a logistic function to replicate the behavior of HVS. | 03-24-2011 |

| 20100079575 | Processing Aspects of a Video Scene - Embodiments are configured to provide video conferencing functionality including using pre-processing and/or post-processing features to provide a video signal, but the embodiments are not so limited. In an embodiment, components of a video conferencing system can operate to provide a video signal based in part on the use of features of a pre-processing component and/or post-processing component. In one embodiment, a video conference device can include a pre-processing component and/or post-processing component to that can be used to compensate for bandwidth constraints associated with a video conferencing environment. | 04-01-2010 |
| 20100080283 | PROCESSING REAL-TIME VIDEO - Real-time video processing functionality may be provided using pre-processing and/or post-processing features to provide a video signal. Components of a real-time video processing system may operate to receive a real-time video signal. The real-time video signal may be downscaled based in part on the use of features of a pre-processing component applying a downscale polyphase filter that may be used to compensate for bandwidth constraints associated with a real-time video conferencing environment. The downscaled real-time video may be communicated across a network, such as the Internet. Upon receipt of the downscaled real-time video, the downscaled real-time video may be upscaled based in part on the use of features of a post-processing component applying an upscale polyphase filter. | 04-01-2010 |
| 20100080302 | PERCEPTUAL MECHANISM FOR THE SELECTION OF RESIDUES IN VIDEO CODERS - A perceptual mechanism for residue selection in a video encoder may be provided. The mechanism may comprise a method, system, or device for receiving video frames comprising pluralities of pixels. For each video frame, a sensitivity threshold may be determined for each pixel of a previous video frame. The pixels of the video frame may compared in turn to the pixels of the previous video frame to determine a residue value. The residue value may be compared to the sensitivity threshold such that when the residue value is less than the sensitivity threshold, the pixel data in the video frame may be zeroed out prior to encoding the video frame for transmission. | 04-01-2010 |
