20090157426METHODS, APPARATUSES & COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCTS FOR FACILITATING EFFICIENT DISTRIBUTION OF DATA WITHIN A SYSTEM - A method, apparatus, system and computer program product are provided for facilitating connection of source devices that are capable of generating data to one or more destination devices which may receive the generated data. The data generated by the source devices may be in different data formats and the source devices may be maintained and operated by different institutions and facilities. Similarly, the destination devices may be maintained and operated by different institutions and facilities. In this regard, an apparatus may be configured to receive the data generated by the source devices and convert the data to one or more codes which represent the results of the data generated by the source devices. The codes may be used by the apparatus to convert or translate the data into a format or template that is specific to an institution or facility that maintains or operates one of the destination devices.06-18-2009

20090196524System and method for sharpening of digital images - Sharpening of edges in digital images without introducing unwanted artifacts is accomplished by first sharpening the digital image using a conventional sharpening filter. The digital image is separately processed with dilation and erosion operators to respectively grow the spatial extent of bright regions and shrink the spatial extent of bright regions. The sharpened, dilated and eroded images are then combined to produce a sharpened image that preserves the sharpened spatial transitions at the edges while suppressing the local contrast enhancement and any ringing.08-06-2009

20090027666System and method for flow cytometry - A flow cytometry system and related method, among other things, are disclosed. In at least one embodiment, the system includes first, second, and intermediate slab formations, the last of which has formed therewithin a microfluidic channel, a lens structure arranged proximate the microfluidic channel, and a light conveying structure arranged proximate to the lens structure. The lens structure is configured to direct a portion of light to proceed between the channel and the conveying structure. The intermediate slab formation is sandwiched between the other two slab formations. In at least another embodiment, the system includes a microfluidic prism arranged proximate to the second end of a light conveying structure. Light emanating from a microfluidic channel is provided to the conveying structure at the first end, conveyed to the second end, and provided to the prism, which outputs a plurality of portions of the light at different frequencies in different directions.01-29-2009

20100223158System and Method for Vehicle Retail Sales, Distribution, and Post-Sales Maintenance - An online method for vehicle retail sales, distribution, and post-sales maintenance includes a series of computer processor implemented steps. The method includes steps of providing vehicle-related information to a customer, receiving vehicle-related selections from the customer specifying a vehicle that the customer is to purchase, communicating relevant selections to business partners, receiving an order submission from the customer, and processing the order submission. One or more of the vehicle-related selections at least partially require products or services from a business partner. The method of the present embodiment further comprises receiving a bridge vehicle request from the customer. A computer system implementing the method is also provided.09-02-2010

20100319150FLEXIBLE STRIP BRUSH, FLEXIBLE BELT BRUSH, AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THE SAME - A flexible strip brush element is constructed from multiple monofiliments arranged in a parallel fashion and attached at one end to a flexible base. The monofiliments are attached to the base by intermingling material from the base with material from the monofiliments. The free ends of the monofiliments collectively form a bristle end zone. A plurality of flexible strip brush elements may be bonded side-by-side so the free ends of the monofiliments form a common bristle end zone. The bonded flexible strip brush elements may take the form of a linear section or may be fashioned into an endless loop or jointless spiral.12-23-2010
20110143899AGRICULTURAL HARVESTER STRIPPER ROLLER - A stripper roller for use in a stripper unit subassembly is disclosed to simplify changing and replacement of parts. Brushes and batts are mounted in interlocking core segments that rotate in rigid accompaniment with a center shaft. The core segments are secured together and secured to the center shaft using retainer caps, and the retainer caps in turn are secured to the shaft to prevent lateral sliding of the stripper roller. Individual batts and brushes may be inserted into or removed from a reusable core segment, or the individual batts and brushes may be integrally affixed to replaceable core segments.06-16-2011

20090044608Method And Apparatus For Measuring Particle Characteristics through Mass Detection - Method for measuring a target particle property. A suspended microchannel resonator is calibrated to determine the relationship between a detected mass and a resonance frequency shift of the resonator. The target particle is suspended in a fluid and introduced into the resonator, and the resonator frequency shift due to the particle is measured. Target particle mass is calculated from the resonator frequency shift, the target particle density, and the fluid density. A target particle property such as size or volume is determined from the calculated target particle mass.02-19-2009
