| 20100064776 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR DETECTING AND/OR QUANTIFYING WATER LEAKS - The invention relates to a method for detecting and/or quantifying water leaks in a water pipe, and to a device for realizing said method. The method of the invention comprises measuring the water flow rate in the pipe in at least two different locations, i.e., one downstream and one upstream relative to the suspected leak, the water flow rate being measured by injecting a tracing agent that modifies the water conductivity instantaneously at an upstream location and a downstream location relative to the suspected leak location, continuously measuring the water conductivity downstream from said locations and, from the conductivity values, calculating the water flow rates upstream and downstream relative to the suspected leak location in the pipe. The method of the invention can be used for quantifying a leak flow rate that can even be a very small one. | 03-18-2010 |

| 20090319365 | System and method for assessing marketing data - The present invention includes a system and method for managing media received from a plurality of media sources. Media content is received from a media source over a communication network. The media content is formatted in a first format and comprises news and advertising material relating to a respective subject. The received media content is processed into processed content, wherein the processing includes filtering, annotating and standardizing the content. Moreover, processed content is rendered, wherein the rendering includes transforming the processed content from the first format into a second format. The processed content formatted in the second format is stored in an electronic storage repository, and, in response to a search for the processed content, the processed content is retrieved from the electronic storage repository. Further, the processed content is further transformed from the second format to a third format, and delivered in the third format to a user. | 12-24-2009 |

| 20090044959 | Horseshoe traction device with disposable insert and reusable stud and related method - A device and method for enhancing traction effectiveness of horseshoes is provided. The device includes a non-threaded stud and a non-threaded insert for receiving the stud. The insert has expandable wall sections with inwardly projecting protrusions, the wall sections at least partially sheathing the stud. The stud and insert create an assembly formed-fittingly insertable in an aperture formed on a bottom surface of the horseshoe. The stud projects outward from the bottom surface, is secure against dislodgement when the horseshoe is worn, and yet removable without threadably twisting the stud. | 02-19-2009 |

| 20080280247 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR INTEGRATED ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT PLANNING USING UNIFIED WORKSTATION - A method and workstation for orthodontic treatment planning of a patient. The workstation is based on a computing platform having a graphical user interface, a processor and a computer storage medium containing digitized records pertaining to a patient including image data (3D image data and/or 2D image data). The workstation further includes a set of software instructions providing graphical user interface tools which the user marks a midline and an aesthetic occlusal plane in a two- or three-dimensional virtual model of the patient, marks an occlusal plane in the virtual model; selects a reference tooth in the virtual model; aligns virtual teeth in the virtual model in a proposed arrangement to treat the patient; manages space between the virtual teeth in the proposed arrangement; and repeats one or more of these steps in an iterative fashion to make any further adjustments in the proposed arrangement. When the adjustments are complete, the user selects or identifies a finalized proposed treatment plan for treating the patient. | 11-13-2008 |
| 20090220918 | AUTOMATIC CROWN AND GINGIVA DETECTION FROM THREE-DIMENSIONAL VIRTUAL MODEL OF TEETH - A method is provided for automatically separating tooth crowns and gingival tissue in a virtual three-dimensional model of teeth and associated anatomical structures. The method orients the model with reference to a plane and automatically determines local maxima of the model and areas bounded by the local maxima. The method automatically determines saddle points between the local maxima in the model, the saddle points corresponding to boundaries between teeth. The method further positions the saddle points along a dental arch form. For each tooth, the method automatically identifies a line or path along the surface of the model linking the saddle points to each other, the path marking a transition between teeth and gingival tissue and between adjacent teeth in the model. The areas bounded by the lines correspond to the tooth crowns; the remainder of the model constitutes the gingival tissue. | 09-03-2009 |
