20120226303 | Perfusion Dilation Catheter System and Methods of Use - A system includes an elongate catheter having a self-expanding frame disposed at the distal end of the catheter. The frame includes a plurality of longitudinal struts defined by parallel slots. The frame may be constrained into a radially compressed configuration for delivery to a treatment site. A helical balloon is mounted about the frame. Upon release from the constraining mechanism, the frame returns to a heat-set radially expanded configuration to initiate dilation of a treatment site in a patient. Inflating the balloon around the expanded frame further expands the initial radial dilation of the site. Proximal and distal ends of the slots are unobstructed by the balloon to permit flow of a fluid through the slots and through a lumen defined by an interior surface of the balloon when the frame is in the radially expanded configuration. | 09-06-2012 |

20140201339 | METHOD OF CONDITIONING COMMUNICATION NETWORK DATA RELATING TO A DISTRIBUTION OF NETWORK ENTITIES ACROSS A SPACE - A method and apparatus for conditioning communication network data relating to a distribution of network entities across a space, for subsequent processing of the network data, is disclosed. The method comprises dividing the space into a grid comprising a plurality of discrete cells, so that each cell comprises a unique location within the space. The network data relating to each entity is subsequently processed using a processor to assign the network entity to a cell in dependence of the location of the entity within the space, relative to the cells. Following the discretisation of network entities to a particular cell, the number of entities within the cells is determined. The number of entities associated with the cells is then separately compared with the number of entities within each cell of a respective cell distribution using the processor, to determine the cell maxima of each distribution which comprises the most entities. The location of the cell maxima within the grid is subsequently output to a processor for subsequent processing of the network data, for monitoring of the communication network. | 07-17-2014 |

20090276066 | INTERLEAVING CONTINUITY RELATED AUDIO FRAGMENTS BETWEEN SEGMENTS OF AN AUDIO FILE - A method for generating an audio file is provided. The method can include receiving a plurality of data entries, wherein each data entry comprises a text portion and converting the text portion of each data entry into a data audio segment, thereby generating a plurality of data audio segments. The method can further include generating, for each data entry in a subset of the plurality of data entries, an introduction audio segment that describes a data entry, thereby producing a plurality of introduction audio segments. The method can further include concatenating the plurality of data audio segments and the plurality of introduction audio segments into a single audio file, wherein each introduction audio segment is positioned in the audio file directly prior to a data audio segment corresponding to the data entry described by the introduction audio segment. | 11-05-2009 |
20090300516 | APPARATUS FOR NAVIGATION AND INTERACTION IN A VIRTUAL MEETING PLACE - An apparatus for providing for virtual communication and collaboration comprises a collaborative virtual environment (CVE) application executing within a distributed data processing system, and a shadow module implemented within the CVE application. The CVE application provides a virtual world represented as a grid of an interconnected set of locations each divided into a set of zones and each having an assigned context through a user interface provided to a plurality of users through one or more client systems. The CVE provides each user with a respective avatar representation for navigating and interacting within the locations of the virtual world. The shadow module provides a first user interface element through which a first user can create and leave a shadow object representation for the first user within a zone of a subset of the set of locations when the avatar representation for the user is currently located in that zone. The shadow object representation persists in the zone after the avatar representation for the first user has navigated away from the zone. The shadow module provides a second user interface element providing a second user with one or more selectable options for corresponding with the first user when the avatar representation for the second user is located in the zone with the shadow object representation. | 12-03-2009 |
20090300521 | APPARATUS FOR NAVIGATION AND INTERACTION IN A VIRTUAL MEETING PLACE - An apparatus for providing for virtual communication and collaboration comprises a collaborative virtual environment (CVE) application executing within a distributed data processing system, and a navigation module implemented within the CVE application. The CVE application provides a virtual world represented as a grid of an interconnected set of locations each divided into a set of zones and each having an assigned context through a user interface provided to a plurality of users through one or more client systems. The CVE provides each user with a respective avatar representation for navigating and interacting within the locations of the virtual world. The navigation module provides a user interface element for each user to specify a respective set of navigation settings. The navigation module automatically directs the avatar representation for each user to traverse the set of zones of a respective subset of the set of locations of the virtual world in a particular order of locations and at a particular rate for each location according to the respective set of navigation settings specified by the user. | 12-03-2009 |

20130080386 | DATABASE CACHING UTILIZING ASYNCHRONOUS LOG-BASED REPLICATION - A database table within a database to persist within a cache as a cached table can be identified. The database can be a relational database management system (RDBMS) or an object oriented database management system (OODBMS). The cache can be a database cache. Database transactions within can be logged within a log table and the cached table within the cache can be flagged as not cached during runtime. An asynchronous replication of the database table to the cached table can be performed. The replication can execute the database transactions within the log table upon the cached table. The cached table can be flagged as cached when the replication is completed. | 03-28-2013 |

20110090514 | APPARATUS AND A METHOD OF MEASURING EROSION OF AN EDGE OF A TURBOMACHINE AEROFOIL - An apparatus for measuring erosion of an edge of an aerofoil portion of a fan blade includes a laser source to direct light at a position on the edge of the fan blade. A detector detects light reflected from the position on the edge of the fan blade. A computer measures the distance from the laser source to points on the edge of the fan blade to produce a profile of the edge in terms of x and z coordinates. The computer calculates the distances of points on the edge of the fan blade from a centroid of the profile. The computer detects peaks in the distance of points from the centroid of the profile. The computer selects two peaks with the greatest distance therebetween. The computer determines the distance between the two peaks and compares the determined distance and a predetermined distance to determine if there is unacceptable erosion. | 04-21-2011 |

20140217945 | CONTROL TECHNIQUES FOR MOTOR DRIVEN SYSTEMS UTILIZING BACK-EMF MEASUREMENT TECHNIQUES - A method and apparatus for automatic resonance detection is disclosed for a motor-driven mechanical system such as a voice coil motor (VCM) in which a resonance detector and driver are provided. The automatic resonance detector may be implemented on the same integrated circuit as the driver, and dynamically determines the natural resonant frequency of the VCM driven by the driver. The resonant frequency is determined by measuring the back electromotive force (BEMF) of the VCM, detecting the slope of the BEMF signal, and determining the resonant frequency from the slope of the BEMF signal. | 08-07-2014 |
