| 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 |

| 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 |

| 20090039924 | Systems and methods for reducing distortion in semiconductor based sampling systems - Circuits and methods that improve the performance of electronic sampling systems are provided. Parasitic capacitance associated with bootstrap circuitry is reduced, thereby decreasing signal distortion caused by capacitive loading at the input of the sampling circuit. The impedance of a sampling semiconductor switch is maintained substantially constant during sample states, at least in part, by accounting for non-linear parasitic capacitances associated with a sampling switch control terminal in order to reduce or minimize signal distortion associated with sampled signals that pass through the sampling switch. | 02-12-2009 |
