Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100253914System and method for detecting central retinal distortions associated with macular diseases - Provided herein are methods and systems to screen for subjects at risk for retinal-associated eye diseases or to monitor the progression/regression thereof. Generally, the method comprises simultaneously or sequentially displaying to a potentially at-risk individual targets of parallel and nonparallel lines, obtaining an orientation discrimination threshold based on the subject's selections and correlating an increase in the threshold compared to that of a normal control or to a previous threshold measured for the subject as indicative of risk for a retinal-associated eye disease or a progression of the eye disease. Also provided are program storage devices and computer program products effective to store instructions or source code to perform the methods.10-07-2010

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090078815MAGNETIC PAPER TOWEL HOLDER - A magnetic paper towel holder includes a pair of plates, an inner plate and an outer plate. The outer plate includes a carrier for holding a roll of paper towels, such as an L-shaped rod or a pair of fenestrated blocks and a holding stick. Both the inner and outer plates can be magnetic plates to attract each other, or alternatively one plate is steel and the other magnetic to let the inner plate hold the outer plate repositionably or reversibly in place under a kitchen cabinet or on the side wall of a kitchen cabinet by magnetism without nails or screws or glue.03-26-2009

Ka Man Mark Tong, Richardson, TX US

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090313337Method for Generating Extended Information - A method for displaying a set of results in a client system comprises first sending an information request having at least a word string to a server system. The server system then selects an application service, which provides a set of results. The server system then transmits an information package corresponding to the application service. Finally, the client system displays a set of results corresponding to the application service in a display area in the client system based on the information package, and also sends a user package having the set of results back to the server system. This user package is processed by at least identifying zero or more application services attributable to the word string based on the set of results.12-17-2009

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080281572INTEGRATED CIRCUIT (IC) DESIGN METHOD AND METHOD OF ANALYZING RADIATION-INDUCED SINGLE-EVENT UPSETS IN CMOS LOGIC DESIGNS - A logic design tool, a tool for analyzing soft error sensitivities in logic, and a program product for logic design. A particle generator simulates events likely to occur for a given operating environment. A pre-characterizer provides circuit block responses to simulated events. A circuit response simulator simulates events in a logic design and provides an indication of soft error sensitivity for the design. Based on the soft error sensitivity indication, the design may be modified to reduce the overall soft error sensitivity.11-13-2008
