20090210351System and Method for Minimizing Redundant Meetings - A system and method for minimizing redundant events/meetings is provided. With the system and method, when a meeting request is made, a search of meetings currently in place for the participants involved in the meeting is performed to find potential matches and patterns between them. If a potential match is found, a notification is sent to request that participants join in on a matching currently existing meeting. If that request is declined, a meeting time close to the found meeting is recommended so that preparation time is minimized for these meetings as the preparation has already been completed for the previous meeting. Not only will this maximize the amount of work time people have, it will increase the size of the community that is present within meetings. This will allow for larger collaboration between different, potentially unrelated, parties interested in the meeting topic.08-20-2009

20090207977Laser Aligned Image Guided Radiation Beam Verification Apparatus - A method and apparatus for verifying radiation beam alignment in an image guided stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) delivery system such as the Cyberknife™. SRS systems such as the Cyberknife™ use a high-precision robotic manipulator with an image-guided system to deliver beams of radiation to a target for optimal clinical results. This radiation delivery system does not usually rotate around a fixed center of axis, therefore a set of pre-programmed positions (nodes) defined as a path is often configured into the system's software to allow proper radiation treatment. In order to achieve the accuracy of the image-guided SRS radiation delivery, these nodes must be calibrated regularly to verify that the radiation beam axis precisely passes through a certain reference point or alignment center with predefined angles. This invention achieves precise verification of radiation beam alignment with a radiation beam detection apparatus mounted on a gimbal assembly. The radiation beam detection apparatus houses an alignment fixture of varying geometric shape, such as a metallic ball or can be an array of radio-opaque markers positioned symmetrically at the gimbal assembly's common rotation center. The radiation detection apparatus comprises a radiation detector such as film and an alignment mirror, which are parallel to each other on opposite sides of the alignment fixture. The radiation detector is used to capture a radiographic image of the alignment fixture and the circular radiation field. The resulting image is analyzed to determine the eccentricity of the radiation field. If the radiation beam is perfectly aligned, the resulting exposure on the film will show a perfectly symmetrically superimposed circular radiation field and the image of the alignment fixture. This method is used to verify beam alignment for each pre-calibrated node and determine whether adjustment to node positions is required.08-20-2009
