20100031793Catheter Cutting Tool - Systems and methods for cutting, or trimming, a catheter at a specified location along the length of the catheter. The catheter preferably includes a stop feature which interacts with an elongate member of the cutting system to determine the catheter is in a proper position to be cut.02-11-2010

20100002145ADAPTIVE OPTIMIZATION OF A VIDEO SIGNAL - A video signal includes a plurality of frames of image data. A single frame of image data or multiple frames of image data, one or more reduced resolution frames, or a portion or portions of one or more frames or reduced resolution frames can be analyzed to determine initial statistics. One or more correction operations are then performed on the initial statistics to generate initial correction values. The one or more correction operations include a balance correction operation, a flare correction operation, and a tonal correction operation. After the initial correction values are determined, a temporal filter is applied to the initial correction values to generate final correction values. Optimized image data is then generated by applying the final correction values to image data in one or more frames.01-07-2010
20100008426METHOD, APPARATUS AND SYSTEM FOR CONVERGING IMAGES ENCODED USING DIFFERENT STANDARDS - A method for transforming an image expressed in terms of a first image encoding to a second image encoding, includes converting a set of original scene exposure-factor values into corresponding first and second image encoding values. A transform is then derived between the first image encoding values and the second image encoding values. The transform is then applied to an image encoded in said first image encoding. Examples of different encoding that can be transformed include Rec. 709, sRGB and other known image encoding standards. A system for performing such transformations as well as an electronic device that is capable of performing such transformations are also disclosed.01-14-2010
20100060807MEANS TO ENGAGE ELECTRONIC DISPLAY PANELS TO CONVENTIONAL PICTURE FRAMES - Various techniques for detachably connecting a commercially-available convention picture frame to an electronic display panel, such as one used in a digital picture frame. The electronic display panel includes a display and a bordering housing surrounding the display and having an opening, that in combination with the opening in the conventional picture frame, allow the display to be visible through the openings. The height, width, and thickness of the bordering housing are configured to allow the electronic display panel to be engaged with multiple commercially-available conventional picture frames.03-11-2010
20100156956GRAYSCALE CHARACTERISTIC FOR NON-CRT DISPLAYS - A method for generating a target display characteristic for a non-CRT display device includes establishing a sequence of luminance-factor values corresponding to original-scene neutrals. The luminance-factor values are converted to corresponding Rec. 709 signal values. The luminance-factor values are then mapped according to a desired system tone reproduction characteristic to corresponding luminous intensity values to be reproduced by the non-CRT television display device. The target display characteristic is generated by relating the corresponding Rec. 709 signal values to corresponding luminous intensity values.06-24-2010

20110048147AIRCRAFT STABILIZER ACTUATOR - An actuator for actuating movement of a control surface relative to a structure can include a high-efficiency assembly and a low-efficiency assembly. The high-efficiency assembly can be connectable between a control surface and a structure for providing a first load transfer assembly and the assembly can have minimum backlash. The low-efficiency assembly is connectable between the control surface and the structure for providing a second load transfer assembly. The low-efficiency or irreversible assembly can be disposed in parallel relationship to the high-efficiency assembly and can have a higher backlash than the low-efficiency assembly. The low-efficiency assembly can be unloaded in normal operation. The actuator also can include a coupler for that can have a closed state in which both load transfer assemblies are synchronously driven by the drive mechanism, and an open state in which the drive mechanism is decoupled from the low-efficiency assembly and the low-efficiency assembly can inhibit movement of the control surface.03-03-2011

20080248846METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CONDUCTING MULTI-RACE LOTTERY OR PARI-MUTUEL WAGERS - A system and a method for conducting a wager, such as a lottery game or a pari-mutuel wager, is provided. In an exemplary embodiment, a series of at least four race events is identified. Each bettor is enabled to make a specified prediction pertaining to the outcome of each of the identified race events. For at least one race, the specified prediction includes an identification of the first four, five, six, or seven finishers in the correct order. For other races, the specified prediction may include an identification of the winner or of one of the first two, three, four, or five finishers. Each wager entry includes predictions for all of the identified race events. Winnings are allocated from a wager pool based on the wager entries having completely correct entries or entries that are correct for most of the race events.10-09-2008
