| 20120126534 | SMART CLAMP DEVICE FOR CONNECTING TUBING - A hinged clamp provides quick connection and disconnection of sections of fluid tubing. Some embodiments include a spring-loaded catch mechanism that enables the clamp to be loosely latched, and a winding mechanism that can retract the catch to a securely latched condition. Other embodiments provide a hinged shaft that pivots about an end of the upper clamp ring. A middle section of the shaft can be inserted into a slotted opening in the lower clamp ring, and the winding mechanism can move an engagement surface against the lower clamp ring to securely latch the clamp. An adjustment mechanism is included in these embodiments which can adjust the amount of winding required to engage the clamp. In various embodiments, less than one turn or less than one-half turn is required to engage/disengage the clamp. The clamp can be openable only just enough for insertion of flanged ends of the tubing sections. | 05-24-2012 |

| 20110075892 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR GENERATING AND EMPLOYING SHORT LENGTH IRIS CODES - A system and method for generating compact iris representations based on a database of iris images includes providing full-length iris codes for iris images in a database, where the full-length iris code includes a plurality of portions corresponding to circumferential rings in an associated iris image. Genuine and imposter score distributions are computed for the full-length iris codes, and code portions are identified that have a contribution that provides separation between imposter and genuine distributions relative to a threshold. A correlation between remaining code portions is measured. a subset of code portions having low correlations within the subset is generated to produce a compact iris representation. | 03-31-2011 |
| 20110075893 | IRIS RECOGNITION SYSTEM AND METHOD - A system and method for performing an identity search in a database of iris images for a probe iris image includes generating a full-length iris code and a compact iris code for iris images in a database, and generating a full-length iris code and a compact iris code for a probe iris image. The compact iris code for the probe image is scored against all compact iris codes in the database. A fraction of the database is retained based on score data. The full length iris code for the probe image is scored against all the full length iris codes in the retained portion of the database. | 03-31-2011 |

| 20090269732 | Methods for Diagnosing Oncogenic Human Papillomavirus (HPV) - Methods for diagnosis of HPV infection in a subject are provided. HPV infection in a subject can be determined by generating mass profile data for a biological sample from the subject and correlating the mass profile data with reference mass profiles to detect the presence or absence, and/or quantity of at least one biomarker associated with HPV infection. Methods for detecting at least one biomarker associated with HPV infection in a biological sample are also provided. | 10-29-2009 |

| 20090238726 | Quantification of analytes using internal standards - The present invention pertains to methods of quantifying the levels of at least one analyte in a sample or extract comprising adding a known quantity of at least one internal standard to the sample or extract. The present invention also relates to internal standards used in mass spectrometry, as well as compositions thereof. Internal standards for mass spectrometry according to the invention can be used, for example, to assist aligning mass spectra obtained from two different samples, each of which comprises the internal standard. In one aspect of the invention, the internal standard is a dendrimer. A labile internal standard may be used in conjunction with the dendrimer. | 09-24-2009 |

| 20110091354 | ROOM FOGGING DISINFECTION SYSTEM - A system for disinfecting a room includes an enclosure having first and second air inlets and an air intake control assembly to selectably control air flow into the enclosure through the first and second air inlets. Air that flows between the exterior and interior of the enclosure through the second air inlet passes through a filter assembly. The enclosure also includes an air dispersion outlet having a fan that draws air into the enclosure through the first and second air inlets and forces air out of the enclosure. A chemical dispersion assembly generates a disinfecting fog relative to the fan. A system controller controls the air intake control assembly to disperse the disinfecting fog into the room, and subsequently draw the disinfecting fog from the room and through the filter assembly. | 04-21-2011 |
| 20110135537 | CONTAINER AND SYSTEM FOR DECONTAMINATING A MEDICAL DEVICE WITH A FOG - A pouch for retaining an endoscope during and after a decontamination process includes a first pouch side, a second pouch side attached to the first pouch side to form the pouch that is configured to retain the endoscope, and a port member coupled to the second pouch side. The second pouch side is securable to the first pouch side to seal the endoscope within the pouch. The second pouch side is configured to permit passage of a decontaminating substance. The port member is coupled to the second pouch side and includes an external interface configured to be connected to a device that provides the decontaminating substance for passage through the port member into an interior of the pouch. | 06-09-2011 |
