| 20090122142 | Distributed mobile surveillance system and method - A method of gathering evidence of a crime or terrorist incident comprises surveilling an area with one or more cameras and, optionally, one or more audio pick-ups (e.g., microphones) installed in or on a large number of automobiles, trucks, buses, and other vehicles. Evidence of an incident may be collected and processed for use by law-enforcement officials in identifying perpetrators and may be used before a grand jury or court-of-law. | 05-14-2009 |

| 20080263238 | MULTIPLE LOGICAL INPUT/OUTPUT SUBSYSTEM FACILITY - An input/output subsystem is configured as a plurality of input/output subsystem images, each of which appears to a program as an independent input/output subsystem. An input/output subsystem image is identified by an input/output subsystem image identifier, which is used by various programs to designate the particular input/output subsystem image for which an I/O operation is to be performed. An input/output subsystem image includes, for instance, one or more input/output paths. An input/output path of an input/output subsystem image is identified by an input/output path identifier, as well as a physical input/output path identifier. | 10-23-2008 |
| 20100138522 | MAPPING TOOL FOR CONFIGURING COMMUNICATIONS ENVIRONMENTS - Configuring of a communications environment is facilitated. A mapping tool is provided that aids in the configuring of various components of a communications environment, such as an input/output (I/O) subsystem of the environment. Data generated from an order process and a logical configuration definition are used as input to the mapping tool. The tool performs mapping and generates as output a physical configuration definition, and optionally, one or more reports. The mapping tool has a manual function, as well as an automatic function. | 06-03-2010 |

| 20100137784 | Micro-Valve - A one-way valve comprises a seat and a membrane having an inner portion that is stretched over the seat, wherein, in use, the inner membrane portion is selectively deflected from the seat such that a fluid path is created from one side of the membrane to the other so as to open the valve, and wherein an outer peripheral portion of the membrane is stiffer than the inner portion such that the membrane deflection is substantially restricted to only the inner portion. The one-way valve may be used in a pump for an infusion system. | 06-03-2010 |
| 20100145272 | Wax Micro Actuator - An actuator comprises a cavity containing a working medium that reversibly expands as it undergoes a phase change from a solid to a liquid state, a diaphragm disposed adjacent the cavity such that expansion and contraction of the expandable working medium causes the diaphragm to deflect, and a semiconductor element disposed in the cavity, wherein the semiconductor element is adapted to heat the working medium to cause it to undergo the phase change into the liquid state. The actuator may be used in a pump for an infusion system. | 06-10-2010 |

| 20100004578 | APPARATUS AND SYSTEMS FOR MEMBRANELESS SEPARATION OF FLUIDS - The present invention is directed to devices, systems and methods for removing undesirable materials from a sample fluid by contact with a second fluid. The sample fluid flows as a thin layer adjacent to, or between, concurrently flowing layers of the second fluid, without an intervening membrane. In various embodiments, a secondary separator is used to restrict the removal of desirable substances and effect the removal of undesirable substances from blood. The invention is useful in a variety of situations where a sample fluid is to be purified via a diffusion mechanism against an extractor fluid. Moreover, the invention may be used for the removal of components from a sample fluid that vary in size. When blood is the sample fluid, for example, this may include the removal of small molecules, middle molecules, macromolecules, macromolecular aggregates, and cells, from the blood sample to the extractor fluid. | 01-07-2010 |
| 20110056884 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF BLOOD-BASED THERAPIES HAVING A MICROFLUIDIC MEMBRANELESS EXCHANGE DEVICE - The present invention is directed to devices, systems and methods for removing undesirable materials from a sample fluid by contact with a second fluid. The sample fluid flows as a thin layer adjacent to, or between, concurrently flowing layers of the second fluid, without an intervening membrane. In various embodiments, a secondary separator is used to restrict the removal of desirable substances and effect the removal of undesirable substances from blood. The invention is useful in a variety of situations where a sample fluid is to be purified via a diffusion mechanism against an extractor fluid. Moreover, the invention may be used for the removal of components from a sample fluid that vary in size. When blood is the sample fluid, for example, this may include the removal of ‘small’ molecules, ‘middle’ molecules, macromolecules, macromolecular aggregates, and cells, from the blood sample to the extractor fluid. | 03-10-2011 |
| 20120061304 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MEMBRANELESS DIALYSIS - Devices, systems and methods are disclosed for removing undesirable materials from a sample fluid by contact with a second fluid.
