20080300484 | Delay insensitive SVD algorithm for perfusion analysis - This document discusses, among other things, a computerized system comprising a perfusion analyzer circuit and a memory circuit to store a time sequence of volumetric image data. The image data is obtained in a time relation to arrival of a contrast agent at an anatomical region associated with the image. The perfusion analyzer circuit is configured to access the stored image data and receive a representation of an artery and a representation of tissue near the artery, shift the representation of the artery in time such that a time of arrival of the contrast at the artery precedes arrival of the contrast at the representation of tissue, automatically compute a perfusion parameter using the shifted representation of the artery, and provide the perfusion parameter as an output to a user or to an automated process. | 12-04-2008 |

20090065466 | CONTAINER TOP AND A METHOD OF PROTECTING A CONTAINER TOP SEPTUM - A container top having an integral cover, for example, an integral dust cover, is provided. The container top includes a cap having a cylindrical skirt with a top, a bottom, a first outside diameter at the top of the skirt, a second outside diameter at the bottom of the skirt, and an inside surface adapted to engage a container; and a ring mounted to the top of the cylindrical skirt, the ring having an opening; and a cover removably mounted to the cap and occluding the opening in the ring. The container top may include a septum positioned in the opening, for example, a septum that can be pierced with a syringe. The container cap may be used in a wide range of industries, for example, the medical, pharmaceutical, the general scientific community, or in any industry where liquid or gaseous samples are handled. | 03-12-2009 |

20110172668 | Intramedullary Mandibular Condyle Implants and Method for Application of the Same - A device for intramedullary fixation of mandibular condyle fractures is provided. This device includes a proximal screw portion and a distal peg portion. The screw portion includes threads and a taper at the proximal tip. The peg portion contains a taper at the distal end, it may be of circular or ovoid cross-sectional shape to accommodate variations in individual patient anatomy, and may contain peg holes oriented perpendicular to its long axis. Perpendicular grooves are present on the distal end of the device to allow coupling with a surgical screwdriver. The method of application includes reaming of the intramedullary canal, insertion of the device into the proximal condyle fragment, and manipulation of the intramedullary canal of the distal mandible onto the device to achieve stable fracture fixation. This device and method provide the benefits of intramedullary fixation and a total endoscopic surgical approach to the treatment of mandibular condyle fractures. | 07-14-2011 |

20140190151 | EXHUAST GAS HEATING APPARATUS - A heating apparatus and method for use in an exhaust gas system is provided that includes a container body defining an exhaust gas pathway, a heater flange component attached to an exterior of the container body, and a heater assembly disposed in the exhaust gas pathway and secured to the heater flange component. The heater assembly includes at least one heater element, a bracket assembly that secures the at least one heater element in the container body, and a conformal bracket for securing the at least one heater element to the bracket assembly. | 07-10-2014 |
