20100165087	SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MOSAICING ENDOSCOPE IMAGES CAPTURED FROM WITHIN A CAVITY - Systems and methods for capturing and mosaicking images of one or more surfaces of a collapsed cavity are described. A number of embodiments are capable of performing mosaicking in real time. Many embodiments are configured to perform multiple passes during motion estimation and/or registration to improve the quality of the resulting mosaic(s). One embodiment includes capturing images using an endoscope, where the optics of the endoscope are radially symmetrical, locating the optical center of each of the captured images, dewarping each of the captured images by mapping the image from polar coordinates centered on the optical center of the image to rectangular coordinates, discarding portions of each dewarped image to create high clarity dewarped images, estimating the motion of the endoscope with respect to the interior surface of the cavity that occurred between successive high clarity dewarped images, registering the high clarity dewarped images with respect to each other using the estimates of motion, and combining the registered high clarity dewarped images to create at least one mosaic.	07-01-2010

20080296941	AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT SYSTEM - An air bag deployment system for use in a vehicle is disclosed have a frame, an air bag, a first deployment chute portion, and a second deployment chute portion. The frame is securable within the vehicle for use therein defining a support structure and a channel therethrough. The air bag is disposed within the support structure of the frame. The air bag deployment mechanism is operatively connected to the air bag. The first deployment chute portion is provided at least partially disposed in and securable adjacent the channel by at least one retainer. The second deployment chute portion at least partially disposed in and securable adjacent the channel by at least one retainer. The first and second deployment chute portions partially support the air bag and assist the air bag to move from a stored position to at least one deployed position when activated by the deployment mechanism.	12-04-2008

20090276238	METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING FINANCIAL DATA FOR OPTICAL LABS SHARING LENS CALCULATION SOFTWARE - A method and system for allowing multiple geographically distributed optical labs to share global resources over a telecommunications network. Each optical lab is set up as a client account on the server with privileges to access the global recourses. Each lab has its own equipment set, the settings and configuration of which, are recorded in one of the client account databases. Other proprietary databases contain price lists, financial information and patient data. The lens calculation software encounters a sequential stream of job requests from different client accounts. The corresponding proprietary account data, allows uniform pricing rules to be applied to lens processing jobs. As jobs are completed, each lab receives an individual packet of printable job ticket data, printable invoice data, electronic interface files for the lens generating equipment, and an extract file for importing into the labs accounting software.	11-05-2009
