20080262339 | Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Amyloid Plaque in the Brain - Amyloid plaque in the brain of a subject is imaged in an MRI system with or without the use of a contrast agent. Contrast is achieved using a spin-echo pulse sequence that is both respiratory gated and cardiac gated to reduce motion artifacts at the very high image resolution required to see plaque. A preparatory pulse sequence is used to insure longitudinal magnetization remains constant for all the acquired views even if the effective TR changes during the scan due to irregular breathing. | 10-23-2008 |

20150046098 | METHOD AND SYSTEM OF NON-DESTRUCTIVE TESTING FOR COMPOSITES - Method and system are disclosed for characterizing and quantifying composite laminate structures. The method and system take a composite laminate of unknown ply stack composition and sequence and determine various information about the individual plies, such as ply stack, orientation, microstructure, and type.

20090037323 | METHOD AND APPARATUS SYSTEM FOR MODELING CONSUMER CAPACITY FOR FUTURE INCREMENTAL DEBT IN CREDIT SCORING - Predicting impact of future actions on subsequent creditworthiness involves developing a prediction model that predicts a statistical interaction of performance expectation with likely post-scoring behavior. Including sensitivity to new, post-scoring date credit behaviors in the analytic solution greatly improves snapshot score predictions. The modeling approach involves multiple snapshots: predictive and performance snapshots, plus an intermediate snapshot shortly after the predictive snapshot to quantify interim consumer behavior post-scoring date. Predictive interaction variables are calculated on the predictive data using simulated consumer profiles before and after assuming a sizeable simulated balance to infer the consumer's tolerance for incremental future debt. Using an adjustor approach in predicting capacity allows isolation of the confounding effect of risk from the capacity determination. A resulting capacity index can be used to rank order originations and line increases according to capacity in consumer, bankcard, automobile and mortgage lending. | 02-05-2009 |
