20150327963 | ELECTRICAL DISCHARGE IRRIGATOR APPARATUS AND METHOD - An electrical discharge irrigation device and method is described. The device includes a power source to produce a first voltage, a circuit coupled to the power source to convert the first voltage to a second voltage, a discharge capacitor to receive the second voltage from the circuit, at least one of a transistor and a controlled rectifier coupled to the discharge capacitor to receive the second voltage, and an output tip. This output tip is coupled to the at least one of a transistor and a controlled rectifier and includes a first end and a second end and a longitudinal axis extending between them, an electrode located in an interior space of the output tip configured to receive an electrical charge from the at least one of a transistor and a controlled rectifier and to release an electric discharge, and a ground return. The ground return is an outside surface of the output tip and a space between the electrode and the ground return holds a conductive medium so that the conductive medium is in contact with the electrode and the ground return to produce the electric discharge. | 11-19-2015 |

20120006785 | Wear Resistant Vapor Deposited Coating, Method of Coating Deposition and Applications Therefor - A low friction top coat over a multilayer metal/ceramic bondcoat provides a conductive substrate, such as a rotary tool, with wear resistance and corrosion resistance. The top coat further provides low friction and anti-stickiness as well as high compressive stress. The high compressive stress provided by the top coat protects against degradation of the tool due to abrasion and torsional and cyclic fatigue. Substrate temperature is strictly controlled during the coating process to preserve the bulk properties of the substrate and the coating. The described coating process is particularly useful when applied to shape memory alloys. | 01-12-2012 |
20150056567 | PHOTON INDUCED ACOUSTIC STREAMING DEVICE AND METHOD - A device and method of using a device for photon-induced endodontic and periodontic applications includes a power source, a trigger coupled to the power source and circuit elements initiated by the trigger. The circuit elements include a timing circuit and a driver. A light source is coupled to the circuitry elements wherein and driver controls the period, cycle, and pulse generation of the light source to create photon induced acoustic waves. The optical assembly includes a fiber optic cable and an output tip and is coupled to the light source. This optical assembly refracts light from the light source and photon induced acoustic waves exit the output tip in a pre-determined pattern. | 02-26-2015 |
20150238755 | ELECTRICAL DISCHARGE IRRIGATOR APPARATUS AND METHOD - An electrical discharge irrigation device includes a power source to produce power of a first voltage, a circuit coupled to the power source to convert the power of the first voltage to power of a second voltage where the second voltage is higher than the first voltage, a trigger to activate the circuit, an igniter coupled to the circuit to produce a spike, an electrical charge storage component coupled to the igniter the electrical charge storage component becoming conductive and storing an electrical charge after receiving the spike, and an output tip. The output tip includes an electrode and insulating material as an outer layer. | 08-27-2015 |

20110313994 | CONTENT PERSONALIZATION BASED ON USER INFORMATION - A particular method of content personalization based on user information includes receiving data representing an information retrieval task. The data is received at a server from a computing device associated with a user. The information retrieval task is executed to generate result information. Personalization information associated with the user that is relevant to the information retrieval task is retrieved. The personalization information associated with the user includes information associated with at least one of a genotype of the user and a phenotype of the user. The method includes modifying the result information based on the retrieved personalization information to generate personalized result information. The personalized result information is transmitted to the computing device associated with the user | 12-22-2011 |
20120159620 | Scareware Detection - A machine-implemented method for detecting scareware includes the steps of accessing one or more landing pages to be evaluated, extracting one or more features from the landing pages, and providing a classifier to compare the features extracted from the landing pages with features of known scareware and non-scareware pages. The classifier determines a likelihood that the landing page is scareware. If determined to be scareware, the landing page is removed from search results generated by a search engine. The features can be URLs, text, image interest points, image descriptors, a number of pop-ups generated, IP addresses, hostnames, domain names, text derived from images, images, metadata, identifiers of executables, and combinations thereof. | 06-21-2012 |

20110055128 | PREDICTING PHENOTYPES USING A PROBABILISTIC PREDICTOR - Aspects of the subject matter described herein relate to predicting phenotypes. In aspects, a probabilistic predictor is used to summarize a relationship between a set of biological predictors and a phenotype. The probabilistic predictor may use a function that is selected based on the type of the phenotype (e.g., binary, multi-state, or continuous). The probabilistic predictor may use genetic and/or epigenetic information. The probabilistic predictor may be trained on a portion of the data in conjunction with predicting phenotypes in another portion of the data. The probabilistic predictor may be used for various analyses including genome-wide association analysis and gene-set enrichment analysis. | 03-03-2011 |
