20090027003 | Safety Circuit For Charging Devices - Systems and methods for implementing a safety circuit in charging devices are disclosed. In an exemplary embodiment, a method may include closing a latch to stop delivery of a charging current to a battery when voltage produced by the battery indicates that the battery is non-rechargeable. The method may also include dropping a threshold from an initial value for the voltage produced by the battery to a baseline value so that the latch remains closed even if the voltage produced by the non-rechargeable battery drops below the initial value of the threshold. The method may also include resetting the latch each time a battery is connected to the charging device. | 01-29-2009 |

20130043398 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ASSAYING A RADIONUCLIDE - A system for assaying a radionuclide includes a liquid scintillation detector, an analyzer connected to the liquid scintillation detector, and a delay circuit connected to the analyzer. A gamma detector and a multi-channel analyzer are connected to the delay circuit and the gamma detector. The multi-channel analyzer produces a signal reflective of the radionuclide in the sample. A method for assaying a radionuclide includes selecting a sample, detecting alpha or beta emissions from the sample with a liquid scintillation detector, producing a first signal reflective of the alpha or beta emissions, and delaying the first signal a predetermined time. The method further includes detecting gamma emissions from the sample, producing a second signal reflective of the gamma emissions, and combining the delayed first signal with the second signal to produce a third signal reflective of the radionuclide. | 02-21-2013 |

20120331029 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DISTRIBUTED CONFIGURATION MANAGEMENT - Method and apparatus for replicating data structures over a network in which each data structure is assigned an owner node among a plurality of networked peer nodes. Preferably that owner can be ascertained through information in the data structure. When an update to the data structure is desired by a non-owner, a request to modify the data structure is sent out on the network and when received by the owner, the owner performs the modification. The owner node can then notify the other nodes regarding the update. The method, implemented through a single-writer, multiple-reader paradigm, insures availability, partition tolerance and eventual consistency; it avoids the high overhead costs and single point of failure drawbacks of the prior art centralized management and locking protocols. Administrators can connect to any peer node in the network to manage, monitor and request modifications to a data structure. | 12-27-2012 |
20150058382 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR VIRTUAL MACHINE CONVERSION - System and method for conversion of virtual machine files without requiring copying of the virtual machine payload (data) from one location to another location. By eliminating this step, applicant's invention significantly enhances the efficiency of the conversion process. In one embodiment, a file system or storage system provides indirections to locations of data elements stored on a persistent storage media. A source virtual machine file includes hypervisor metadata (HM) data elements in one hypervisor file format, and virtual machine payload (VMP) data elements. The source virtual machine file is converted by transforming the HM data elements of the source file to create destination HM data elements in a destination hypervisor format different from the source hypervisor format; maintaining the locations of the VMP data elements stored on the persistent storage media constant during the conversion from source to destination file formats without reading or writing the VMP data elements; and creating indirections to reference the destination HM data elements in the destination hypervisor format and the existing stored VMP data elements. | 02-26-2015 |

20110213664 | LOCAL ADVERTISING CONTENT ON AN INTERACTIVE HEAD-MOUNTED EYEPIECE - This disclosure concerns an interactive head-mounted eyepiece including an optical assembly through which the user views a surrounding environment and displayed content. The displayed content includes a local advertisement, wherein the location of the eyepiece is determined by an integrated location sensor and wherein the local advertisement has a relevance to the location of the eyepiece. The head mounted eyepiece may also include an audio device and the displayed content may comprise local advertisements and audio. | 09-01-2011 |
20110214082 | PROJECTION TRIGGERING THROUGH AN EXTERNAL MARKER IN AN AUGMENTED REALITY EYEPIECE - This disclosure concerns an interactive head-mounted eyepiece with an integrated camera facility that images an external visual cue. An integrated processor of the eyepiece identifies and interprets the external visual cue as a command to display content associated with the visual cue. | 09-01-2011 |
20110221659 | AUGMENTED REALITY EYEPIECE WITH FREEFORM OPTIC, IMAGE SOURCE, AND OPTICAL DISPLAY - This disclosure concerns an interactive head-mounted eyepiece with an integrated processor for handling content for display. An integrated image source, which includes a light source and the optical display, introduces the content to an optical assembly through which the user views a surrounding environment and the displayed content. Alternatively, an integrated projector facility projects the content to the optical assembly. The projector facility includes a light source and the LCoS display, wherein light from the light source is emitted under control of the processor and traverses a polarizing beam splitter where it is polarized before being reflected off an LCoS display and into an optical waveguide of the eyepiece. | 09-15-2011 |
20110221670 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR VISUAL BIOMETRIC DATA CAPTURE - A method and apparatus for visual biometric data capture are provided. The apparatus includes in interactive head-mounted eyepiece worn by a user that includes an optical assembly through which a user views a surrounding environment and displayed content. The optical assembly comprises a corrective element that corrects the user's view of the surrounding environment and an integrated processor for handling content to the user. An integrated optical sensor captures visual biometric data when the eyepiece is positioned so that a nearby individual is proximate to the eyepiece. Visual biometric data is captured using the eyepiece and is transmitted to a remote processing facility for interpretation. The remote processing facility interprets the captured visual biometric data and generates display content based on the interpretation. This display content is delivered to the eyepiece and displayed to the user. | 09-15-2011 |
20110221671 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR AUDIO BIOMETRIC DATA CAPTURE - A method and apparatus for audio biometric data capture are provided. The apparatus includes in interactive head-mounted eyepiece worn by a user that includes an optical assembly through which a user views a surrounding environment and displayed content. The optical assembly comprises a corrective element that corrects the user's view of the surrounding environment and an integrated processor for handling content to the user. An integrated optical sensor captures visual biometric data when the eyepiece is positioned so that a nearby individual is proximate to the eyepiece. Audio biometric data is captured using multiple microphones mounted in an endfire array in the eyepiece. The remote processing facility interprets the captured audio biometric data and generates display content based on the interpretation. This display content is delivered to the eyepiece and displayed to the user. | 09-15-2011 |
20110221793 | ADJUSTABLE DISPLAY CHARACTERISTICS IN AN AUGMENTED REALITY EYEPIECE - This disclosure concerns an interactive head-mounted eyepiece with an integrated processor for handling content for display and an integrated image source for introducing the content to an optical assembly through which the user views a surrounding environment and the displayed content.
