| 20100155484 | Methods and Apparatus for Providing a Changing Field of View in Image Based Bar Code Scanning - Systems and techniques for image based bar code scanning. A rotating spinner is positioned to reflect images to an imaging device within the scanner so that a field of view of the scanner encompasses images reflected by the spinner to the imaging device. The rotation of the spinner causes the field of view of the scanner to change. Fixed mirrors positioned and oriented to reflect images to the spinner and from the spinner to the imaging device further shift the field of view of the scanner as the rotating spinner causes images reflected from different mirrors to be delivered to the imaging device. | 06-24-2010 |

| 20080212743 | Cantilevered gantry apparatus for x-ray imaging - An x-ray scanning imaging apparatus with a rotatably fixed generally O-shaped gantry ring, which is connected on one end of the ring to support structure, such as a mobile cart, ceiling, floor, wall, or patient table, in a cantilevered fashion. The circular gantry housing remains rotatably fixed and carries an x-ray image-scanning device that can be rotated inside the gantry around the object being imaged either continuously or in a step-wise fashion. The ring can be connected rigidly to the support, or can be connected to the support via a ring positioning unit that is able to translate or tilt the gantry relative to the support on one or more axes. Multiple other embodiments exist in which the gantry housing is connected on one end only to the floor, wall, or ceiling. The x-ray device is particularly useful for two-dimensional multi-planar x-ray imaging and/or three-dimensional computed tomography (CT) imaging applications | 09-04-2008 |

| 20080307374 | METHOD, SYSTEM, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR MAPPING A LOGICAL DESIGN ONTO AN INTEGRATED CIRCUIT WITH SLACK APPORTIONMENT - A logical design including multiple logical blocks is mapped onto an integrated circuit chip. A chip level floor plan is created on the chip, including temporary areas on the chip set aside for accommodating logical blocks having logical content including timing requirements based on the logical design. The temporary areas are translated into physical cells on the chip with pins assigned for inputs and outputs for the logical blocks. The logical blocks are mapped to the physical cells on the chip in a time sensitive manner using timing assertions to form temporary logical partitions. Blocks on the chip, including the temporary logical partitions, are connected based on the timing assertions. A timing analysis is performed on the chip to determine timing slack associated with each temporary logical partition. A determination is made whether the timing slack is acceptable. If the timing slack is not acceptable, the slack is apportioned for, and apportioned slack information is fed back in the form of timing assertions. Mapping, connecting, performing a timing analysis, and apportioning for slack are repeated until the timing slack associated with each temporary logical partition is determined to be acceptable. | 12-11-2008 |
| 20090249270 | METHODS FOR PRACTICAL WORST TEST DEFINITION AND DEBUG DURING BLOCK BASED STATISTICAL STATIC TIMING ANALYSIS - Methods for analyzing timing of an integrated circuit using block-based static statistical timing analysis and for practical worst test definition and debug. The method includes building a timing graph, determining a slack for each of the nodes in the timing graph, and identifying a statistically worst slack for at least one of the nodes. The method further includes replacing this statistically worst slack with a proxy worst slack. | 10-01-2009 |
| 20100293512 | CHIP DESIGN AND FABRICATION METHOD OPTIMIZED FOR PROFIT - Disclosed is a computer-implemented method for designing a chip to optimize yielding parts in different bins as a function of multiple diverse metrics and further to maximize the profit potential of the resulting chip bins. The method separately calculates joint probability distributions (JPD), each JPD being a function of a different metric (e.g., performance, power consumption, etc.). Based on the JPDs, corresponding yield curves are generated. A profit function then reduces the values of all of these metrics (e.g., performance values, power consumption values, etc.) to a common profit denominator (e.g., to monetary values indicating profit that may be associated with a given metric value). The profit function and, more particularly, the monetary values can be used to combine the various yield curves into a combined profit-based yield curve from which a profit model can be generated. Based on this profit model, changes to the chip design can be made in order to optimize yield as a function of all of the diverse metrics (e.g., performance, power consumption, etc.) and further to maximize the profit potential of the resulting chips. | 11-18-2010 |

| 20090099619 | Method for optimizing CRT therapy - A method to optimize CRT therapy using ventricular lead motion analysis, either radiographically or with three dimensional electromagnetic mapping, to determine whether focal dyssynchrony is present at baseline, and whether biventricular pacing improves synchronicity and fractional shortening, and if no improvement is evidenced, changing the timing offset, pacing configuration and/or repositioning the ventricular leads to optimize effectiveness of CRT therapy. Various uses of this method include: diagnostic, with temporary leads to determine presence or absence of dyssynchrony and response to pacing; and therapeutic, to guide lead placement and programming during implant of CRT, and to optimize reprogramming of CRT during follow-up. | 04-16-2009 |
