| 20120089172 | RE-SHAPING INTRAGASTRIC IMPLANTS - The present application provides implantable intragastric devices for the treatment of obesity. The intragastric devices advantageously act as a volume-occupying device, and is able to survive implantation in a patient's stomach for a year or longer. In addition, the intragastric devices may be configured to stimulate an inner stomach wall and/or temporarily block the pylorus to slow gastric emptying and/or be rotationally variant, thereby encouraging different stimulation points on the inner wall of the stomach and limiting the stomach's ability to adapt over long term implantation. The intragastric devices may reshape the stomach cavity, such as by pushing on opposite sides so as to “planarize” the stomach. For instance, the device may be an inflated disk, or an implantable loop or a springy coil that may be straightened for delivery/extraction yet assume the loop or coil shape upon implant. | 04-12-2012 |

| 20090018760 | RUSH HOUR MODELING FOR ROUTING AND SCHEDULING - A rush hour modeling system that is configured for modifying existing travel time/distance data to reflect special traffic conditions, such as rush hour traffic conditions. The system is configured to receive information defining one or more time windows, geographic areas, and road segments in which special traffic conditions occur. The system is also configured to receive travel rules that reflect the special traffic conditions. The travel rules are used to modify a travel time/distance matrix to reflect the effect of the special traffic conditions on “normal” travel times and distances. Existing routing and scheduling systems can then use the modified travel matrix to plan and schedule routes for delivery vehicles more accurately. Additionally, the modified travel matrix can be used to model traffic conditions through a particular geographic area or on a particular road segment. | 01-15-2009 |
