20100026973EXPANDING CHASSIS FOR IMAGING SYSTEMS - An expanding chassis for an imaging unit is provided, the expanding chassis for use in imaging systems having a plurality of imaging units arranged in an array. The expanding chassis comprises a rigid frame for housing a light engine and related circuitry, and for mounting a screen on a front surface of the rigid frame for use with the light engine. The expanding chassis further comprises at least one expandable interface pad on at least one side of the rigid frame. The rigid frame and the expandable interface pad have a combined thermal expansion characteristic that provides an overall expansion in the expanding chassis that substantially matches the expansion of the screen.02-04-2010

20080312869METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR WEIGHING A STENT - An apparatus for weighing a stent includes a buffer for storing a stent support with a stent mounted thereon, a stent mounting and dismounting assembly that mounts and dismounts the stent from the stent support, a robotic arm for moving the stent support with the stent between the buffer and the stent mounting and dismounting assembly, and a scale assembly for weighing the stent. The stent mounting and dismounting assembly moves the stent into the scale assembly after the stent has been dismount from the stent support.12-18-2008

20090240583Advertising system and method for providing targeted advertising in a communications network - The present invention relates to an improved advertising network and system, which relates to interconnecting a plurality of venues through a network, each of the venues having at least one display panel or display screen for displaying advertisements and marketing materials to a plurality of users. Advertisers provide advertising preferences information (such as demographics preferences) in accessing the network, so as to locate a listing of pertinent venues, and display screens at these venues, where the particular demographic sought is found to be most prevalent. The present invention enables advertisers to identify, pinpoint and direct a targeted advertising display towards a specific subset of display screens or display panels at selected venues in an inter-connected network with a view to catering their advertising displays to a specific clientele (consistent with their advertising preferences information) in these selected venues.09-24-2009
20090248491System and method for ranking participating venues in a network according to advertisers needs for targeted advertising - The present invention relates to an improved advertising network and system, which relates to interconnecting a plurality of venues through a network, each venue having at least one display panel or display screen for displaying advertisements and marketing materials to a plurality of people at these venues. The venues in the network are ranked in terms of their potential communicative power, according to a defined list of advertising effectiveness criteria, this ranking being reflected as a V-Index, so as to properly assess the potential marketing effectiveness of advertising displayed at each of the venues. Advertisers or users can also provide advertising preferences information (such as demographics preferences) in accessing the network, so as to locate a listing of pertinent venues, and display screens at these venues, where the particular demographic sought is found to be most prevalent. In this manner, advertisers or users can identify, pinpoint and direct a targeted advertising display towards a specific subset of display screens or display panels at selected venues in the network with a view to catering their advertising displays to a specific clientele at these selected venues, based on the advertising preferences information and the ranking each of the venues in the network.10-01-2009
