Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090314055SYSTEM TO CONTROL PRESSURE IN A TEST DEVICE - Embodiments of the present invention are directed toward pressure controllers and calibrators for setting or measuring pressures in test devices. In one embodiment, the pressure controller contains a dual reference pressure controller. The dual reference pressure controller is operable to maintain two different pressures relative to a reference pressure. The first pressure being a relatively fixed amount greater than the reference pressure and the second pressure being a relatively fixed amount less than the reference pressure.12-24-2009

20110157343METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SECURING PLANAR ORIENTATION OF ANALYSIS CHAMBER - An apparatus and method for imaging a biologic fluid sample quiescently residing within a chamber is provided. The chamber includes a first panel and a second panel, between which the biologic fluid sample quiescently resides. At least one of the first and second panels is flexible. The chamber has one or more fields that are each defined by a cross-sectional area. The apparatus comprises a field illuminator, a chamber flattener, a positioner, and an image dissector. The field illuminator has an objective lens. The chamber flattener has a platen with a window and a cover plate. The chamber flattener is operable to cause the chamber to assume a substantially uniform Z-axis position for substantially all of the fields within the chamber. The positioner is adapted to position the objective lens and the chamber relative to one another. The image dissector is adapted to image the sample residing within the chamber.06-30-2011

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100049454LIGHT EMITTING DIODE FAULT MONITORING - Methods, systems, and devices are described for providing fault monitoring for light emitting diode (LED) circuits. Embodiments receive an indication from a fault control module that a fault has occurred in a portion of an LED module (e.g., a series string of LEDs). The fault may represent an open fault or a closed fault condition. In some embodiments, a monitoring module receives the fault indication and generates a further representation that the fault has occurred (e.g., for use by external components or systems). In other embodiments, the monitoring module in configured to further indicate which in the LED module has failed, and/or in what fault condition (e.g., open or closed).02-25-2010
20100225277BATTERY CHARGE AND DISCHARGE CONTROLLER - Methods, systems, and devices are described for described for providing control circuitry for use with battery packs. Embodiments optimize charging and discharging cycles to mitigate overcharging, over-discharging, and/or overheating individual cells in a battery pack. For example, embodiments allow for full discharging of battery packs (i.e., bringing the battery pack and its individual cells closer to their minimum voltages without going below) and full charging of battery packs (i.e., charging each cell of the battery pack closer to their maximum voltages without exceeding). Further, some embodiments include a substantially lossless, bi-directional DC-to-DC converter for facilitating ultra-fast charging of battery packs (e.g., at greater than 10C charge rates) without overheating or overcharging the individual cells of the battery packs.09-09-2010

20100106267MUSIC RECORDING COMPARISON ENGINE - A method is provided to compare recordings that includes providing a list of a plurality of recordings and selecting at least a first recording and a second recording from the plurality of recordings. The first recording and the second recording have predetermined lengths The method also includes selecting a first portion of the first recording, identifying a second portion of the second recording based on the first portion, and comparing the first portion to the second portion When the entire length of the recording is selected as the first portion, the entire length of the second recording can be identified as the second portion. Identifying a second portion may also include normalizing it to the first portion. Also, identifying the second portion can include translating the first portion into a wave-form searching the second recording for another wave-form similar to the translated wave-form and matching the translated wave form with the similar wave-form.04-29-2010
