20110069905 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETECTING AND ELIMINATING ONE OR MORE DEFOCUSED OR LOW CONTRAST-TO-NOISE RATIO IMAGES - This invention, which provides a method for detecting a corruption in an image acquired from a biological sample, includes: providing at least one image of at least one cell; generating the image of the at least one cell over a period of time; determining if the at least one image of the at least one cell is corrupted; applying a wavelet transform, Fourier transform, or other frequency decomposing transform to the at least one image to decompose the at least one image into a plurality of sub-images, wherein the plurality of sub-images have a plurality of low frequency channels, a plurality of middle frequency channels and a plurality of high frequency channels; calculating a ratio based on an energy level of the plurality of low frequency channels and the plurality of middle frequency channels; and removing the at least one image of at least one cell if the at least one image is corrupted. | 03-24-2011 |
20110236921 | CELL SYSTEM - The present invention relates to cellular systems for testing drug candidates and for evaluating the function of mitochondrial proteins. The invention is particularly useful for evaluating drug candidates for cancer and for conducting studies on drug resistance. | 09-29-2011 |

20080255790 | METHOD OF CALIBRATING A SCALE - A method of calibrating a scale which enforces exercise requirements. The method includes causing an interface to provide a first indication to place weight on the scale by control circuitry of the scale, receiving weight signals from a load cell by the control circuitry, causing the interface to provide a second indication that exercising has begun and of the level of weight applied by the control circuitry, determining that a minimum recommended calibration weight has been placed on the scale by the control circuitry, and causing an interface to provide a third indication that the minimum recommended calibration weight has been placed on the scale by the control circuitry. | 10-16-2008 |

20090108067 | Methods and Apparatus for Managing Bar Code Scanner Configuration and Data - Systems and techniques for bar code scanner management and communication. A bar code scanner is equipped to support the use of universal serial bus (USB) devices as clients. The scanner controls and communicates with external devices. For example, a removable storage device, such as a universal serial bus (USB) drive is loaded with instructions to be recognized and executed by the scanner upon connection of the storage device to a scanner USB port. The instructions may be prepared at a workstation presenting applications for constructing elements for performing various operations, such as updating configuration settings, upgrading scanner firmware, diagnostics, and data collection. A set of instructions, which may take the form of a disk image, for performing specified operations is prepared and transferred to the removable device, or created directly on the device. Upon connection of the device to a scanner, the scanner reads and executes the instructions. | 04-30-2009 |
20110073656 | Methods and Apparatus for Imaging Bar Code Scanning - Improved systems and techniques for imaging bar code processing. One or more cameras are deployed in a bar code scanner, oriented so that an imaging device of each camera is oriented such that rows of data elements in the imaging device are oriented nonorthogonally with respect to a preferred orientation of a bar code. One or more imaging devices captures bar code data representing light and dark spaces of the bar code. The captured bar code data is analyzed to create one or more rows of data completely transecting the bar code, and the rows of data are processed to generate a scan signal which is in turn processed to extract bar code data. | 03-31-2011 |
20120109761 | APPARATUS, METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR A POINT OF SALE TERMINAL - An apparatus, system and method are presented for a point of sale terminal including a scanner. A display device, a printer device and a magnetic strip reader device are connected to the scanner. A processor in the scanner executes software that causes the processor to operate the scanner, the attached devices and provide the features and functions of the point of sale terminal. | 05-03-2012 |
