| 20100020718 | SHARED COMMUNITY STORAGE NETWORK - A hardware and/or software facility for durably and securely storing data within a shared community storage network. A user may have a storage device that they intend to share with others in the network. All or a portion of the storage device is registered with the community storage network as a storage node. Once registered with the network, third party data may be stored on the storage node and remotely accessed by third parties. In addition, data stored on the storage device by the user may be stored in the shared community storage network by encrypting the data, adding redundancy, and distributing it to other storage nodes within the storage network. Data that is stored in the storage network is accessible to the user even if their storage device is inaccessible or fails. | 01-28-2010 |
| 20100023722 | STORAGE DEVICE FOR USE IN A SHARED COMMUNITY STORAGE NETWORK - A storage device configured to join a shared community storage network. All or a portion of the storage device is registered with the community storage network as a storage node. Once registered with the network, third party data may be stored on the storage node and remotely accessed by third parties. In addition, data stored on the storage device by a user may be stored in the shared community storage network by encrypting the data, adding redundancy, and distributing it to other storage nodes within the storage network. Data that is stored in the storage network is accessible to the user even if their storage device is inaccessible or fails. The user may receive economic or non-economic incentives for allowing the storage device to join the shared community storage network. | 01-28-2010 |

| 20100188398 | X-RAY TOOL FOR 3D ULTRASOUND - A system and method is disclosed for rendering an ultrasound volume. An external image of an ultrasound volume is generated. A fractional part of the external image corresponds to a fractional portion of the ultrasound volume. A composite image of the ultrasound is generated using the external image, wherein the fractional part of the external image is replaced with an internal image of the ultrasound volume fractional portion. The internal image may be generated by changing a value of a visualization parameter used to generate the external image to a value more suitable for rendering an internal image. The ultrasound volume may include a organic structure, wherein the external image depicts an outer surface of the organic structure, and the internal image depicts a vascularity of the organic structure, such that the composite image simultaneously depicts both an outer surface and the vascularity of the organic structure. | 07-29-2010 |

| 20110152686 | ULTRASOUND IMAGING - An ultrasound imaging system (UIS) comprises a user interface (UIF) that allows an operator to request visual aid. In response to a request for visual aid, a controller (CTRL) retrieves from a database a visual representation of a preferred manner of applying a probe to a patient, and causes a display device (DPL) to render the visual representation. Preferably, but not necessarily, the controller (CTRL) detects a step of a workflow protocol program (WPP) that is being carried out. The controller (CTRL) then selects from the database a visual representation pertaining to the step that is being carried out. | 06-23-2011 |
| 20110213250 | 3-D ULTRASOUND IMAGING WITH VOLUME DATA PROCESSING - In an ultrasound imaging system, an ultrasound scanning assembly (USC) provides volume data (VD) resulting from a three-dimensional scan of a body (BDY). A region of interest detector (RDT) detects a region within the volume data (VD) characterized by a variation of at least one data parameter, which exceeds a margin. A slice generator (SLG) may then generates-slices (SX) from the region that has been detected. These slices (SX) can be displayed on a display device (DPL). | 09-01-2011 |

| 20090286534 | INTER-CONTROLLER ROAM MANAGEMENT AND PREDICTION FOR VOICE COMMUNICATIONS - A mobile device roaming architecture for use with a mobile device, such as a cellular phone, roaming a WiFi network. In instances where the mobile device attempts to roam to a different wireless access point managed by a controller using a different authentication key, the roam process can be excessively long such that the voice signal is disrupted or fails entirely. A detection component detects the roaming attempt, and a connection component switches the call back to the original access point controller before the call has a chance to drop. In this way, a connection is maintained to the network. A mitigation component performs an operation to maintain a connection to the call as the mobile device moves out of range of the original access point. | 11-19-2009 |
| 20110188410 | Using Consultation Call to Transfer Call Across Endpoints - A method for transferring a telephone call from a client computer to a second electronic device includes establishing a connection for a telephone call between the client computer and a first electronic device, and sending a request to a server computer to transfer the telephone call from the client computer to the second electronic device, the client computer and the second electronic device having the same user, the request initiating a consultation call to the second electronic device. The method also includes receiving a response from the server computer that the second electronic device has accepted the telephone call, and replacing the client computer with the second electronic device as a party in the telephone call with the first electronic device, the continuity of the telephone call being maintained at the first electronic device during the time that the client computer is replaced with the second electronic device. | 08-04-2011 |
