| 20090326610 | Systems and methods for interacting with an implantable medical device - An interactive implantable medical device system includes an implantable medical device and a network-enabled external device capable of bi-directional communication and interaction with the implantable medical device. The external device is programmed to interact with other similarly-enabled devices. The system facilitates improved patient care by eliminating unnecessary geographic limitations on implantable medical device interrogation and programming, and by allowing patients, physicians, and other users to access medical records, history, and information and to receive status and care-related alerts and messages anywhere there is access to a communications network. | 12-31-2009 |

| 20090216292 | DEVICES, METHODS, AND SYSTEMS FOR HARVESTING ENERGY IN THE BODY - In some embodiments, the power generator for converting mechanical energy to electrical energy is described may include a compressible element adapted and configured to be placed in an environment having a variable compressive force such as varying ambient pressures. The compressible element may be compressed by a force applied by the variable pressure to the compressible element. The power generator may further include a transducer that may be coupled to the compressible element and that may convert mechanical energy from the compression of the compressible element to electrical energy. In some embodiments, the power generator may be adapted to be an implantable power generator for converting mechanical energy from a patient to electrical energy, such that the compressible element adapted and configured to be placed between two adjacent tissue layers of the patient and to be compressed by a force applied from the two adjacent tissue layers to the compressible element. | 08-27-2009 |
| 20100331717 | Seizure Sensing and Detection Using an Implantable Device - A system and method for detecting and predicting neurological events with an implantable device uses a relatively low-power central processing unit in connection with signal processing circuitry to identify features (including half waves) and calculate window-based characteristics (including line lengths and areas under the curve of the waveform) in an electrographic signal received from a patient's brain. The features and window-based characteristics are combinable in various ways according to the invention to detect and predict neurological events in real time, enabling responsive action by the implantable device. | 12-30-2010 |
| 20110112381 | Devices and methods for monitoring physiological information relating to sleep with an implantable device - Described here are implantable devices and methods for monitoring physiological information relating to sleep. The implantable devices are generally designed to include at least one sensor for sensing physiological information, a processor for processing the physiological information using low computational power to detect a sleep stage, and a battery. The detected sleep stage information may then be used to indicate sleep quality, identify or monitor a medical condition, or guide treatment thereof. | 05-12-2011 |

| 20090019750 | CABLE TENSIONING APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR SECURING A SHEET TO A FRAME - A cable tensioning system for mounting a vinyl sheet to a billboard frame, comprising a cable secured on a frame at one end and secured to a spring-loaded cable tensioning device at the other end. A plurality of cable guides are mounted at intervals around the frame, each of the cable guides having a channel adapted to receive the cable. Portions of the edges of a sheet are secured within a plurality of locking clips around the perimeter, each clip also having a channel to receive the cable. The sheet with the clips affixed is secured to the frame whereby cable travels through the channels in the locking clips and is guided around the perimeter of the frame by the channel guides and secured to the spring-loaded cable tensioning device. The spring-loaded cable tensioning device is deployed to tighten the cable around the frame and secure the sheet to the frame. | 01-22-2009 |

| 20090038124 | LOCKING CLIP FOR A BILLBOARD SIGN TENSIONING SYSTEM - A locking clip for a cable tensioning system, comprising (i) a base plate having a top surface having a gripping portion, tensioning arms extending from the top surface, a cable retaining arm and posts extending from the bottom surface, and, at least one slot in the base plate; and, (ii) a tapering top member including a cable tensioning hook with a channel and extending from the top surface, and at least one nub extending from the bottom surface to slidingly engage the slot. The clip can hold a portion of a sheet between the base plate and the top member when the top member and the base plate are in an engaged relationship. The cable tensioning arm holds the cable and allows tension to be placed on the sheet. When the clip is disengaged from the sheet it can be temporarily attached to the cable by the cable retaining arm. | 02-12-2009 |

In one aspect, the limited access highway entrance points are stored as destinations in a geographic database within the geographic information system such that a telematics service provider can provide directions to the limited access highway entrance points. | 03-18-2010 |
| 20100080377 | METHOD FOR REDUCING NON-VALUE ADDED TIME BETWEEN CALLS SERVICED AT A CALL CENTER - A method for reducing non-value added time between calls serviced at a call center includes selectively enabling an after-call-work state that is configured to be activated during a call from a subscriber vehicle when an advisor at the call center indicates a need for the after-call-work state. If the advisor does not activate the after-call-work state during the call, then upon completion of the call, automatically setting an operator station of the advisor to a call ready state. If, however, the advisor activates the after-call-work state during the call, then upon completion of the call, the method includes activating the after-call-work state. | 04-01-2010 |

| 20110058717 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR ANALYZING HARD TISSUES - A method and system employing image analysis may provide an objective measure of property values related to hard tissue or teeth in the oral cavity. A region of analysis on an image of hard tissue may be divided into pixels. Each pixel may have an associated color characteristic (e.g., R, G and B, multispectral) which is used to quantify a hard tissue property value of interest (e.g., percent plaque coverage, L*a*b* tooth color, percent stain). Hard Tissues Regions of Interest may be divided into indexed registration cells that allow for combining and/or comparing property values between images on a localized cell-by-cell basis. Results of cell-level property value analyses may be displayed by color-coding hard tissue pixels of a display image. | 03-10-2011 |
