Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090240124Systems and Methods for Measuring the Concentration of Analytes in the Human Eye - A method for determining the concentration of an analyte within a volume located between the cornea and the iris of an eye includes determining an index of refraction of a volume disposed between a cornea and an iris of an eye, the volume including an analyte. Based upon the index of refraction of said volume, the concentration of the analyte within the volume is determined.09-24-2009

John J. Hefti, San Francisco, CA US

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100296973Systems and Methods for Monitoring Chemical and Biological Activity using Differential Measurements - A system operable to monitoring bio/chemical activities includes a first measurement probe, a second measurement probe and a comparator. The first measurement probe is operable to interrogate one or more physical properties of a sample at a first location of the sample, and to output, in response, a first measurement signal. The second measurement probe is operable to interrogate one or more physical properties of the sample at a second location of the sample, and to output, in response, a second measurement signal. The comparator is coupled to receive the first and second measurement signals, the comparator configured to output a difference signal comprising the difference between the first and second measurement signals, the difference signal corresponding to the difference in one or more bio/chemical activities occurring at the first location of the sample relative to the second location of the sample.11-25-2010

Larry D. Hefti, Auburn, WA US

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090026246Superplastic forming of titanium assemblies - A method of superplastic forming of titanium packs and an associated assembly is provided. The titanium packs can include sheets having different granular structures so that the different sheets are adapted to superplastically form at different temperatures. One or more of the sheets can be formed at a temperature that is below the superplastic forming temperature of another sheet in the pack. In some cases, the occurrence of markoff can be reduced or eliminated. 01-29-2009

Martin Hefti, Lenzburg CH

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090202119Method for analyzing and processing fluorescent images - A method for analysis and processing of fluorescent images. Fluorescent light is emitted by tumor tissue in an illuminated surgical area detected by an image detection device and is forwarded to an image processing system. After determination of a maximal intensity, the image processing system determines a threshold value as a predefined fraction of the maximal intensity. With basic morphological operations of image processing, limit intensity lines which separate the tumor tissue of intensities above the threshold value and normal tissue of intensities below the threshold value are generated and imaged in a line profile image, wherein the line profile image can be superimposed on the fluorescent image.08-13-2009

Thierry Hefti, Gland CH

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100321319METHOD FOR DISPLAYING AND UPDATING A VIEW OF A GRAPHICAL SCENE IN RESPONSE TO COMMANDS VIA A TOUCH-SENSITIVE DEVICE - A man-machine interface using a touch-sensitive device as an interface to a computer device is presented, wherein simple gestures made by a user are interpreted by the computer device as commands to be performed in respect to at least a part of a virtual environment shown on the display. Each sequence of gestures begins with an initial touch on the touch-sensitive device and may involve a number of subsequent gestures. A command thus given is applied to the part of the virtual environment on the display. The action of the command continues until the gesture is ended by the user removing contact from the touch-sensitive device, thus ending the command.12-23-2010

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080213726Dental Implant and Method for the Production Thereof - The invention relates to a ceramic implant, especially a dental implant, comprising a structured or porous surface for at least partially inserting into a bone. An especially advantageous surface is obtained when it is at least partially modified by a salt melt. These excellent osteointegration properties can be obtained by a method whereby the surface is modified in a salt melt at least in the regions exposed to the bones and/or soft tissue, optionally following a previous modification of the surface whereby material has been removed.09-04-2008
