20150096368 | System, Method, and Apparatus for Determining Soil Density - A system for measuring soil density includes a plurality of signal emitters paired with signal receivers situated within the soil and below grade (e.g. from 10 to 30 feet below grade). The emitters periodically emit the signal (e.g., ultrasonic signal), some of which is reflected back by the soil. If the soil is compact and close to the emitter/receiver, the reflected signal is received after a short delay and has high signal strength. If the soil is less compact or there is a gap between the soil and the emitter/receiver, the reflected signal is received after a greater delay and/or has lower signal strength. By making several measurements of the delay and signal strength, a baseline is established. Later, periodic measurements of the delay and signal strength are made. If the delay and/or signal strength measured differs from the baseline, the soil density has likely changed. | 04-09-2015 |

20100042204 | Stent Coating For Eluting Medication - A vascular stent comprising a drug-eluting outer layer of a porous sputtered columnar metal having each column capped with a biocompatible carbon-containing material is described. This is done by placing the stent over a close-fitting mandrel and rotating the assembly in a sputter flux. The result is a coating that is evenly distributed over the outward-facing side of the stent's wire mesh while preventing the sputtered columnar coating from reaching the inward facing side where a smooth hemocompatible surface is required. The stent is then removed from the mandrel, exposing all surfaces, and finally coated with a layer of carbon such as amorphous carbon or diamond-like carbon. The carbonaceous coating enhances biocompatibility without preventing elutriation of a therapeutic drug provided in the porosity formed between the columnar structures. The result is a stent that is adapted to both the hemodynamic and the immune response requirements of its vascular environment. | 02-18-2010 |

20100131994 | DYNAMIC MEDIUM CONTENT STREAMING SYSTEM - A streaming on demand system includes an on-demand requester object installed on a computing device. The on-demand requester object is configured to receive I/O requests for an application for which data is available in data packs for streaming delivery. The on-demand requester object includes a minifilter associated with a filter manager in an I/O stack. The minifilter receives each I/O request from the application, references a table that includes at least one address where each data pack required to fulfill each I/O request is located, and determines if the data pack has been streamed to the system. The table may also include a size indicator for each data pack. The minifilter loads before compression and filter minifilter drivers in the I/O stack. The minifilter attaches to the I/O stack by registering with a filter manager in the I/O stack for I/O requests for the application for which data is available in data packs for streaming delivery. The minifilter passes on a read call if a required data pack is available locally and if all data in the required data pack has been received. The minifilter withholds a read call if a required data pack is not available locally or if all data in the required data pack has not been received. If an I/O request is a write operation, the minifilter writes an address and size indicator corresponding to the write operation to the table. If the I/O request is a create operation, the minifilter attaches extended data to a file stream. | 05-27-2010 |

20130287212 | Method And Apparatus For Multiplexing Audio Program Channels From One Or More Received Broadcast Streams To Provide A Playlist Style Listening Experience To Users - Methods and apparatuses provide personalized radio by outputting selected songs from multiple channels from one or more source streams. Users can specify favorite channels for building their personal playlists, or multiple default playlist channels can be provided by genre or other criteria. User like/dislike inputs via the radio receiver generate filter data used to search all channels for matches or block songs from playback. Filter data can also be based on virtual DJ recommendations. Channel searching for matches involves monitoring real-time song and artist labels or other metadata for all channels carried in a separate data channel. Personalization can also be provided by using filter data to select content from a mixed channel comprising content from a selected group of channels. Connectivity options and web interfaces are provided to facilitate transfer and sharing of customization parameters for personalized radio configuration. | 10-31-2013 |
