Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110193917SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR EXTRACTING SOLID-INK PELLETS FROM A CONTAINER - The present disclosure provides systems and methods for supplying solid-ink pellets from a container to a printing apparatus. The solid-ink pellets are held in a collapsible, hermetic bag, which is carried in the container. The bag is partially or fully transparent. A vacuum interface provides an access point to the bag. Further, a perforated nozzle, adapted to engage the vacuum interface, provides airflow within the bag and is configured to apply a suction force to extract solid-ink pellets from the bag.08-11-2011

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090122967Telephone communication system and method for transmitting reply messages - A telephone communication system and method for transmitting reply messages are provided. The telephone communication system includes a plurality of telephone devices, wherein at least a first telephone device has hardware circuitry, a display, and a processor. The hardware circuitry receives a signal from a second telephone device. The display is in communication with the hardware circuitry and displays an image when the signal is received. The processor is in communication with the hardware circuitry and the display, and the processor performs the steps including communicating the image that is displayed on the display when the signal is received, wherein at least one prerecorded reply message is made available for selection when the signal is received, and receiving a command inputted by a user of the first telephone device selecting one of the available reply messages, wherein the selected reply message is transmitted to the second telephone device.05-14-2009

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110276370Mobile parking enforcement method - A real-time wireless parking enforcement system is provided that includes a remote parking enforcement system having a plurality of parking sensors disposed to gather parking occupancy data and at least one source of parking payment data, where the parking occupancy data and parking payment data is communicated to a central server in real-time, and a plurality of wireless mobile platforms are operated by a plurality of parking enforcement officers (PEO's). The wireless mobile platforms send and receive real-time and continuous parking occupancy data and parking payment data to and from the central server, where bidirectional communication exists between the central server and the wireless mobile platforms. When the PEO enters response information to a potential violation to the wireless mobile platform, the bidirectional communication updates the status of the potential violation to all the wireless platforms in real-time, where the information is used to reduce enforcement redundancies by the PEO's.11-10-2011

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110066232BIOPROSTHETIC VALVE HOLDER AND HANDLE WITH CUTTING MECHANISM AND METHOD OF USING SAME - A surgical apparatus for use with a prosthetic holder to which a prosthesis is secured by sutures. The apparatus includes an elongated handle having a grip end and a coupler end and defining a first aperture extending along a length from the grip end to the coupler end. The apparatus can also include a first shaft at least partially disposed within the first aperture with a first actuator at the grip end and a holder coupling mechanism at the coupler end. The apparatus can have one of a second shaft and a sheath disposed along the handle with a second actuator at the grip end and a cutting element at the coupler end. A force applied to the first actuator enables one of engagement and disengagement with the prosthesis holder, and a force applied to the second actuator enables deployment of a cutting element to cut the sutures securing the prosthesis to the prosthetic holder.03-17-2011

20080199086APPARATUS FOR PERFORMING FAST CLOSEST MATCH IN PATTERN RECOGNITION - A method and apparatus for determining a closest match of N input patterns relative to R reference patterns using K processing units. Each of a set of input patterns are loaded into the K processing units. One of the Reference patterns is sequentially loaded into each of the processing units and a distance defining the similarity between the reference pattern and each of the input patterns is calculated. A present calculated distance replaces its corresponding stored present minimum distance if it is has a smaller value. After the R reference patterns have been processed the minimum distance and its corresponding identification for all N input patterns is determined without merging outputs. The minimum distances and the identifications may be read either in parallel or serially. The apparatus is easily scalable by adding processors. The number of reference patterns may be easily increased without altering system configuration.08-21-2008
20090254991INTRUSION DETECTION USING A NETWORK PROCESSOR AND A PARALLEL PATTERN DETECTION ENGINE - An intrusion detection system (IDS) comprises a network processor (NP) coupled to a memory unit for storing programs and data. The NP is also coupled to one or more parallel pattern detection engines (PPDE) which provide high speed parallel detection of patterns in an input data stream. Each PPDE comprises many processing units (PUs) each designed to store intrusion signatures as a sequence of data with selected operation codes. The PUs have configuration registers for selecting modes of pattern recognition. Each PU compares a byte at each clock cycle. If a sequence of bytes from the input pattern match a stored pattern, the identification of the PU detecting the pattern is outputted with any applicable comparison data. By storing intrusion signatures in many parallel PUs, the IDS can process network data at the NP processing speed. PUs may be cascaded to increase intrusion coverage or to detect long intrusion signatures.10-08-2009
