20110093323 | METHOD OF VALIDATING A DISCOUNT OFFER - A method of validating a discount offer includes obtaining discount information from a coupon at a dispenser, the discount information including a unique discount identifier. The discount information is sent to a local controller, which attempts to communicate with a central system to validate the offer. If the central system is inaccessible, the local controller then compares the unique discount identifier with a local database of previously redeemed coupons. If the unique discount identifier is not found in the local database, the local controller approves the coupon and instructs the dispenser to reduce the amount charged to a customer by the discount amount. The local controller then adds the unique discount identifier to the local database. When the central server is again accessible, the redeemed discount identifiers are communicated from the local database to the central system. | 04-21-2011 |

20090004364 | Method For Protecting New/Used Engine Parts - New and used parts of gas and steam turbine engines are protected by imparting a controlled residual compressive stress to given portions of the part and then coated by a CVD or PVD process at low temperatures with layers of TiN or alloys thereof at alternate selective hard and less hardened levels. The protective treatment is particularly efficacious for airfoils of compressor blades/vanes of gas turbine engines and airfoils of airfoils and certain components of steam turbine engines. This method is targeted to reduce erosion, corrosion and stress-corrosion cracking in these parts. | 01-01-2009 |

20100030076 | Systems and Methods for Simultaneously Treating Multiple Target Sites - The emission intensities of groupings of transducer elements of an ultrasound transducer array are controlled based on targeting criteria in such a manner as to simultaneously create multiple discontiguous foci, each corresponding to one of a plurality of target sites. | 02-04-2010 |
20100268088 | MULTIMODE ULTRASOUND FOCUSING FOR MEDICAL APPLICATIONS - Systems and methods for focusing ultrasound through the skull into the brain for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes may be improved by utilizing both longitudinal and shear waves. The relative contribution of the two modes may be determined based on the angle of incidence. | 10-21-2010 |
20100318002 | Acoustic-Feedback Power Control During Focused Ultrasound Delivery - Ultrasound energy is delivered to a patient in a controlled manner using a focused ultrasound system, thus maintaining the desired therapeutic effect without causing unwanted damage to surrounding tissue. An ultrasound transducer device includes multiple transducer elements, each of which is controlled by drive circuitry and a drive signal controller. An acoustic detector detects signals indicative of cavitation in tissue targeted by the transducer elements, and the drive signal controller manages the delivery of acoustic energy from the transducer elements based on the detected cavitation signals such that a therapeutic effect at the target tissue remains within an efficacy range. | 12-16-2010 |
