| 20110227379 | APPARATUS FOR LIFTING AND MOVING A PERSON - An apparatus for lifting and moving a person comprises a mobile base assembly and a lift assembly moveably mounted on the base assembly permitting the lift assembly to move upwardly and downwardly relative to the base assembly. The lift assembly includes a frame member moveably engaging the base assembly. A first support arm of a butterfly seat is rotatably attached to the frame member for rotation about an upwardly extending axis. A second support arm of the butterfly seat is rotatably attached to the frame member laterally spaced from the first support arm for rotation about an upwardly extending axis. The first and second support arms include weight bearing platforms adjacent the free distal ends of the support arms. The first and second support arms are movable between a first position where the weight bearing platforms are close enough for supporting a person and a second position where the first support arm and the second support arm are spaced sufficiently from each other to receive a person between the weight bearing platforms. A powered lift is provided for moving the lift assembly upwardly and downwardly relative to the base assembly. | 09-22-2011 |

| 20120025904 | AREA-OPTIMIZED ANALOG FILTER WITH BANDWIDTH CONTROL BY A QUANTIZED SCALING FUNCTION - A programmable active frequency-selective circuit includes a first capacitor having a fixed value and a second capacitor having a value defined by a product of a parameter and a plurality of switchable capacitors, wherein the parameter is defined by a gain, a bandwidth mode, and a process resolution. The parameter may be stored in a form of a look-up table and enables a user or manufacturer to program the gain, select the bandwidth mode and tune the process. The frequency-selective circuit may include a differential input and a differential output having a first feedback path connected across a positive output terminal to a negative input terminal and a second feedback path connected across a negative output terminal and a positive input terminal. | 02-02-2012 |

| 20110213499 | Methods, Systems, and Products for Conducting Droplet Operations - The present invention provides modified droplet actuator systems, software, and software-executed methods for use in droplet actuator operation and droplet actuator systems that are configured and programmed to execute such software. An aspect of the software components of the invention is an interface description file for each hardware component of a microfluidics system that allows hardware components to be changed without modifying the program for performing droplet operations protocols. Another aspect of the software components of the invention is the establishment of electrode-to-electrode relationships and other aspects of droplet actuator configurations, which may be used when programming droplet operations protocols. Another aspect of the software components of the invention is a physical design library of predefined electrode elements that may be used by a droplet actuator designer when constructing a layout of electrodes. Another aspect of the software components of the invention is a droplet actuator description file that contains the physical and electrical description of the droplet actuator. Another aspect of the software components of the invention is a router component for determining routes of droplet operations in a droplet actuator. Another aspect of the software components of the invention is the use of tri-state vectors for programming sequences in a droplet actuator. Still other aspects are provided. | 09-01-2011 |

| 20090203413 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONDUCTING COMPETITIONS - In general, in one aspect, a method for developing an asset by competition includes posting a list of competitions, each competition for the development of an asset, each element of the list including a reference to one of a number of workspaces, the one of the workspaces allocated to a respective asset. The method includes providing a draft competition specification in one of the workspaces. The method includes facilitating feedback from potential competitors on the draft competition specification in the workspace for a period of time prior to the competition. The method includes finalizing the draft competition specification based on the feedback from potential competitors, and holding a competition for the development of the asset. | 08-13-2009 |
