| 20110095674 | Cold Cathode Lighting Device As Fluorescent Tube Replacement - A cold cathode lighting device is a fluorescent tube replacement and has a transparent tube, a cold cathode formed as a wire or rod with an electron emissive surface and passing through a center of the transparent tube. An extraction grid is formed around and spaced apart from the cold cathode and has an external diameter smaller than an inner diameter of the transparent tube. A phosphor material and a conductive material form an anode on an inner surface of the transparent tube. A vacuum is maintained within the transparent tube and a power conversion circuit in an end unit converts electrical power into a first potential applied to the cold cathode, a second potential applied to the extraction grid and a third potential applied to the anode. Electrons emitted from the cold cathode accelerate towards the anode and light is emitted from the fluorescent tube replacement light emitting device. | 04-28-2011 |

| 20110141481 | ACOUSTIC CONFOCAL INTERFEROMETRY MICROSCOPE - An Acoustic Confocal Interferometry microscope for use with a suitably selected acoustic emitter and acoustic detector for providing three-dimensional information on the state of an object is presented. The microscope has a coherent wavelength source for producing a coherent beam, scanning means for moving said coherent beam in a suitably selected pattern, and means for producing and focusing an object beam and an interference beam to an object focal point and an interference focal point, respectively. The object beam has a transmission path of essentially the same length of the transmission path of the interference beam. The object beam intercepts an object at the object focal point while the interference beam passes by the object. There are also means for defining the object beam and the interference beam based on the position of the object focal point and the geometry of the convergence angles and means for producing an interference pattern between the object focal point and the interference focal point. | 06-16-2011 |

| 20120108999 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DETECTING SEIZURES - A method of detecting seizures may comprise receiving an EMG signal and processing the received EMG signal to determine whether a seizure characteristic is present in the EMG signal during a time window. An apparatus for detecting seizures with motor manifestations may comprise one or more EMG electrodes capable of providing an EMG signal substantially representing seizure-related muscle activity; and a processor configured to receive the EMG signal, process the EMG signal to determine whether a seizure may be occurring, and generate an alert if a seizure is determined to be occurring based on the EMG signal. | 05-03-2012 |

| 20090109226 | REGION OVERLAP CONTROL FOR AUTORANGE/AUTOSET FUNCTIONS - A method of region overlap control for the display of a plurality of waveforms on an instrument includes an overlap function that allows selection by a user of a vertical height on a display screen for each of the waveforms. A ground marker for each of the waveforms is adjusted on the display screen according to the selected vertical height. The result is that the plurality of waveforms are displayed on the display screen in an overlapping fashion with sufficient vertical height to enhance triggering, all measurement functions and secondary functions, such as harmonics and switching loss measurements. | 04-30-2009 |
| 20120036947 | MULTI-CHANNEL FREQUENCY DOMAIN TEST AND MEASUREMENT INSTRUMENT - A test and measurement instrument including a plurality of input ports; an acquisition system coupled to the input ports and configured to acquire frequency domain data from the input ports; a user interface configured to present frequency domain controls for at least two of the input ports; and a controller configured to adjust frequency domain acquisition parameters of the acquisition system in response to the frequency domain controls such that frequency domain acquisition parameters associated with a first input port can be different from frequency domain acquisition parameters associated with a second input port. | 02-16-2012 |

| 20100200605 | Blow Molded Plastic Container Assembly With Improved Lid Sealing - A plastic container that is preferably formed using a blow molding and trimming process includes a container main body portion and a lid mounting portion. The lid mounting portion includes a sealing flange and a flexible transition portion connecting the sealing flange to the container main body portion. The flexible transition portion preferably has at least one notch defined therein so as to form a hinge permitting downward movement of the sealing flange when a lid is secured on to the container. In another embodiment, more than one notch is provided defining multiple hinges that provide a compound hinge effect in order to reduce stresses on the molded plastic material during use of the container. | 08-12-2010 |

| 20110195266 | SEAMLESS SLEEVE AND SEAMLESS SUBSTRATE - A seamless, embossed or cast substrate is formed using a seamless sleeve having a seamless surface relief formed thereon and configured to slide over an cylindrical base in an embossing or casting assembly. The substrate is a flat web, foil, or film of, for example, paper, polyester, polypropylene, metal or other elongated flat material. The surface relief can be applied through interfering ablation, non-interfering ablation, ink jet printing, or other techniques wherein a seamless surface relief is formed onto the seamless sleeve. A method of making a seamless, embossed or cast substrate includes expanding a diameter of a seamless sleeve having a seamless surface relief formed thereon, sliding the expanded seamless sleeve onto a cylindrical base, allowing the diameter of the seamless sleeve to contract around the cylindrical base, and conveying a substrate through the embossing or casting assembly and embossing or casting the seamless surface relief into the substrate. | 08-11-2011 |
