| 20100205610 | FILE SYSTEM INTERFACE FOR A MESSAGE SERVICE SYSTEM - A system, including a computing device, performs a method for communicating with a message service via a file system interface. A file system driver receives a file system call from an application program executing on the computing device. The file system driver converts the received file system call into a message service request. The file system driver transmits the message service request to a message service server. The message service server processes the message service request and generates a response to the message service request. The message service server then sends the message service response to the file system driver. The file system driver converts the received message service response into a file system call response. The file system driver may return the file system call response to the application program or may store the file system call response as a file system file in a file system. | 08-12-2010 |

| 20090299271 | NOVEL HEATING SOLUTIONS FOR FLUID MEDIA - A system and method for heating a fluid for delivery of the fluid in the context of a particular medical, pharmaceutical, industrial or mechanical application. A cassette is associated with an application, such as, for example, a peritoneal dialysis machine. The cassette includes one or more outlet tubes for delivery of the fluid to, for example, a patient. A heating device is associated with the cassette, and heats a portion of the fluid prior to delivery of the fluid to the patient, thereby saving time and electrical power during delivery of the fluid to the patient. Additionally, a controller can be employed to control the heating range of the heating device and thereby provide a temperature of the fluid that is adaptable to the patient or a particular application. | 12-03-2009 |
| 20110034866 | BROADBAND INFRARED HEATING OF MEDICAL FLUIDS - A system for heating a medical fluid includes a container including a fluid path including an inlet side and an outlet side. A broadband infrared radiation source including a power supply is coupled to a broadband emitter for emitting infrared radiation. The broadband emitter provides a focal location within the fluid path to heat the medical fluid to generate a heated medical fluid. A flow turbulence enhancing structure mixes the heated medical fluid to reduce temperature gradients therein. A fluid detector senses a presence of the medical fluid in the fluid path and generates a fluid sensing signal. A controller is coupled to receive the fluid sensing signal and has an output coupled to the power supply for controlling a power output of the power supply based on the fluid sensing signal indicating a presence of the medical fluid in the container. | 02-10-2011 |

| 20120125118 | SYSTEM FOR MONITORING STRUCTURAL ASSETS - A system for detection of stress and deformation in a structural asset, for instance, one of reinforced concrete. An area on the asset may have a structure interface, such as a patch, attached to it with a fastening mechanism which may be a layer of an epoxy or other material, or be items such as screws, bolts, welds, or the like. One or more surface acoustic wave (SAW) strain sensors may be attached to the interface with an adhesive layer of epoxy or other material, or with mechanical items. Stress may be transmitted by the interface to the strain sensors. The sensors may be interrogated with a wire or wireless reader to obtain strain measurements. The measurements may indicate stress and deformations such as bulges and breaks in the asset. The measurements may also be a basis for determining location and extent of the stress and deformations. | 05-24-2012 |

| 20090281732 | Method for attenuating low frequency noise in a dual-sensor seismic streamer - A calculated vertical velocity sensor signal is determined from a recorded pressure sensor signal. A constructed vertical velocity sensor signal is determined as a linear combination of the calculated vertical velocity sensor signal and a recorded vertical velocity sensor signal in dual-sensor seismic streamer data, using a mixture coefficient as a proportionality constant. An upgoing pressure wavefield component is determined as one half of a difference of the recorded pressure sensor signal and the constructed vertical velocity sensor signal, as a function of the mixture coefficient. An error in the upgoing pressure wavefield component is determined by propagating errors in the recorded pressure sensor signal and constructed vertical velocity sensor signal terms. A value of the mixture coefficient is determined that minimizes the error in the upgoing pressure wavefield component. | 11-12-2009 |

| 20110296485 | VIDEO STREAMING - A video sequence is to be transmitted at a selectable quality from a server over a network. A network control protocol operates in response to a control parameter to allocate to the server a share of available transmission capacity in proportion to the value of the control parameter. First, one determines a plurality of transmission rate values that are needed over successive time periods of the sequence for successful transmission of the sequence at a reference quality; then the control parameter is set, proportional to the transmission rate value and communicated to the control protocol at corresponding time instants. The sequences can then be transmitted, encoded at a quality from time to time selected in dependence upon the actual transmission capacity made available by the network to the server. | 12-01-2011 |

| 20110292801 | CONTROLLING BANDWIDTH SHARE - There is proposed a modification to the ECN protocol to remove the one-to-one relationship between the network signalling congestion and the sender response to that congestion. The result is to allow a receiver terminal to exhibit some control of bandwidth share relative to other receiver terminals. The idea is to calculate the average CE arrival frequency from received data packets and to set ECE flags at a rate determined as a function of the average CE arrival frequency. Preferably, the function is a multiplier applied to the average CE arrival frequency. The effect of averaging the CE arrival frequency as well as application of a multiplier is a decoupling of the ECE marked ACKs sent by a receiver to the sender, and control of the resulting transmission rate at the sender. | 12-01-2011 |
