20100049227 | Delivery Tools for Sleep Disorders Treatment Implant and Methods of Implantation - Methods and tools are disclosed for inserting an implant device that treats snoring and apnea of a patient by altering the position of a soft palate. Methods and tools can make an incision in patient's soft and hard palate to create a cavity that can house the implant. The tools can have visually observable markings that can be aligned with the incision, thus controlling the depth of the cavity. A needle having an incision edge can be used to make an incision in patient's soft palate. The needle can be bent into a suitable longitudinal shape to allow easier access and visualization of the process. A blade that makes the cavity in the tissue can be housed inside a channel in the needle. The tools may have stoppers to prevent excessive extension and retraction of the blade thus preventing an excessive cavity depth. Some tools may also house the implant device, which may be implanted after the cavity is formed. | 02-25-2010 |

20090020953 | Fencing floor - An aluminum floor for fencing has an improved friction surface with traction-enhancing grooves and is configured to reduce noise. Aluminum extrusions forming the floor define a flat surface but with series of parallel grooves separated by non-grooved spaces. In a preferred embodiment the grooves are essentially square cut. The grooves and spaces between the series of grooves are configured so as to allow sliding on the floor with the essentially flat soles of a user's fencing shoes when desired, but so as to grip the soles with significant friction when the shoe is heavily weighted causing the sole to deform down into the grooves. The fencing floor is intended to lie over an existing floor, as a series of easily connected floor sections. Rubbery sheet material is secured to the bottom of the fencing floor, preferably in transverse strips, directly beneath each joint and preferably at additional locations. When the fencing floor is used over a hard surface such as concrete, the rubber strips prevent the metallic clanging noise typical of aluminum fencing floors in use. | 01-22-2009 |

20120032790 | Audience Response System Bulk Data Communication - A method for a response device in an audience response system having a plurality of response devices to wirelessly communicate bulk data includes transmitting a signal and receiving data indicating to the response device to transmit data requests. The method further includes transmitting data request signals, and receiving at least data describing the bulk data in response to a first data request signal and at least a portion of the bulk data in response to a second data request signal. | 02-09-2012 |
20120034590 | AUDIENCE RESPONSE SYSTEM DATA COMMUNICATION INCORPORATING NON USER SELECTION SIGNALS - A method for a response device to wirelessly communicate data in an audience response system having a plurality of response devices includes transmitting a first signal, receiving a first acknowledgement signal indicating to the response device to transmit non user selection signals. The method further includes transmitting a non user selection signal in response to the first acknowledgement signal and receiving a second acknowledgement signal indicating to the response device to cease transmitting non user selection signals. | 02-09-2012 |
20130036360 | WIRELESS AUDIENCE RESPONSE DEVICE - An audience response device is configured to communicate wirelessly in an audience response system. The device includes a display configured to display a question identifier and a user input interface configured to receive a user selection. The device further includes a processor operably connected to the display and to the user input interface, and configured to receive data representing the user selection. The device further includes a transceiver operably connected to the processor and configured to wirelessly transmit signals including a signal encoding data representing the user response to the question. The device further includes a logic operably connected to the display and the processor and configured to cause the display to display indications regarding the audience response session, a question, a sequence of questions, and so on. | 02-07-2013 |
20130343266 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR UPDATING SOFTWARE - A method of providing a software update to a plurality of transmission devices includes receiving, by a processor, a first information signal containing a first transmission device identifier, a first transmission device hardware version identifier, and a first software version identifier. The method further includes wirelessly transmitting a first plurality of data packets in series, wherein each of the first plurality of data packets includes one of a set of data packet identifiers and a portion of an update to software corresponding to the first software version identifier. The method also includes receiving, by the processor, at least one data packet acknowledgment and wirelessly transmitting a second plurality of data packets. The second plurality of data packets includes at least one previously transmitted data packet for which a data packet acknowledgment has not been received by the processor. | 12-26-2013 |
20130344797 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DYNAMIC CHANNEL CHANGING - A method of receiving signals in an audience response system on a plurality of channels comprises receiving a first number of signals on a first channel during a first period of reception for a first predetermined length of time. The method further comprises transmitting at least one acknowledgment signal. The method further comprises receiving a second number of signals on a second channel during a second period of reception for a second predetermined length of time. The method further comprises transmitting at least one additional acknowledgment signal. The method further comprises comparing the first number of signals to the second number of signals. The method further comprises adjusting a future predetermined length of time for a period of reception on one of the first and second channels based on the comparison. | 12-26-2013 |
20140220538 | AUDIENCE RESPONSE SYSTEM DATA COMMUNICATION INCORPORATING NON USER SELECTION SIGNALS - A method for a response device to wirelessly communicate data in an audience response system having a plurality of response devices includes transmitting a first signal, receiving a first acknowledgement signal indicating to the response device to transmit non user selection signals. The method further includes transmitting a non user selection signal in response to the first acknowledgement signal and receiving a second acknowledgement signal indicating to the response device to cease transmitting non user selection signals. | 08-07-2014 |
