| 20090281520 | Ocular Implantation Device - An ocular implantation device comprises a housing having a longitudinal axis, a needle configured to receive an implant, and a plunger and a rod operatively coupled together. The plunger and the rod are disposed in the housing and are collectively, translationally moveable along the longitudinal axis of housing. The rod is configured to be receivable within at least a portion of the needle to enable the rod to move an implant therethrough. An actuator is operatively engaged with the plunger such that movement of the actuator in a direction aligned with the longitudinal axis of the housing results in translational movement of the plunger and the rod along the longitudinal axis of the housing in order to deliver the implant through the needle to a target site. An alternative embodiment of the device uses a retractable needle to deliver the implant. | 11-12-2009 |

| 20120299942 | MODIFYING COLOR ADJUSTMENT CHOICES BASED ON IMAGE CHARACTERISTICS IN AN IMAGE EDITING SYSTEM - What is disclosed is a system and method for dynamically reducing the number of choices by reordering the selectable menu options in each menu of a color adjustment tool based on image content, selections in other menus, and usage history. Color names and color modifiers are reduced and/or reordered through image analysis, with most frequently occurring colors being placed at the top of the menu and excluding less frequently used or unused colors from the menu. Adjustment adjectives are reduced by eliminating nonsensical or rare color adjustment combinations (e.g. make the grays much more colorful, make the blues yellower), and/or reordered based on usage history, either by the individual user or by aggregating over many users. | 11-29-2012 |
| 20120301023 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR EDITING COLOR CHARACTERISTICS OF ELECTRONIC IMAGE - A method of editing color characteristics of an electronic image includes: a) receiving an original electronic image at a color editing subsystem; b) analyzing the original electronic image to identify original color characteristics and to identify a recommended set of color editing options, the recommended set of color editing options being less than a complete set of color editing options provided by the color editing subsystem; c) presenting the recommended set to a user via a user interface device; d) receiving a color editing instruction from the user interface device in response to the user selecting a corresponding color editing option from the recommended set; and e) adjusting the original color characteristics to form an adjusted electronic image having adjusted color characteristics based at least in part on the color editing instruction. An apparatus for editing color characteristics of an electronic image is also provided. | 11-29-2012 |

| 20120032968 | COMPONENT SPECIFIC IMAGE MODIFICATION USING NATURAL LANGUAGE COLOR - Embodiments described herein include a component specific natural language color unit for modifying colors of image components in an image using component specific natural language commands. The CSNLC unit can receive a component specific natural language color command for a color modification of an input image. The component specific natural language color command can include a component identifier and a color modifier. The natural language command can be parsed to attribute the component identifier to an image component in the input image and to attribute the color modifier to a predefined color space associated with the image component. The color modifier can indicate the color modification to be performed. The color modification can be applied to the image component to adjust the color of the image component. | 02-09-2012 |

| 20090056422 | SALOMETER AND FLOW RATE SENSOR ASSEMBLY - A salometer and flow rate sensor assembly for a water softener system including a brine tank containing a brine solution including at least one sensor housing provided in the brine tank, a first detector set associated with the housing and configured for indicating whether the brine solution is adequately concentrated and a second detector set associated with the housing and configured for measuring the brine solution flow rate during brine draw and refill cycles of regeneration. | 03-05-2009 |
| 20100200484 | GREY WATER TREATMENT SYSTEM - A grey water treatment system for use in conjunction with a water softener, including a grey water holding tank including a first inlet configured to receive grey water and a second inlet configured to receive spent brine from the water softener. The spent brine is mixed with the grey water in the holding tank to flocculate suspended solids in the grey water for subsequent removal. | 08-12-2010 |

| 20080269448 | Photo or electron beam curable compositions - A curable composition and a process for using the curable composition within a grating-coupled waveguide (GCW) sensor are disclosed. The composition can be used for facile replication of optical components, specifically those used in a label-independent detection system where operation of the waveguide is dependent on the detailed formation of micro and nano size patterns. The photo or electron beam curable composition has low viscosity (≦500 cPs) and cures to an optically clear material with high glass transition temperature (≧70° C.), low shrinkage on cure, low outgassing, and low extractables. | 10-30-2008 |

| 20110239207 | SYSTEM, METHOD AND PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR IDENTIFYING DIFFERENCES BETWEEN SETS OF PROGRAM CONTAINER FILES - A system and program for comparing a preexisting, hierarchical set of program container files to an updated, hierarchical set of program container files to identify one or more of the program container files or files within the program container files that have been deleted, added or changed in the updated program container file. First program instructions expand a first higher-level program container file within the preexisting set of program container files into first lower-level program container file(s) and other file(s). The first program instructions also expand a corresponding second higher-level program container file within the updated set of program container files into second lower-level program container file(s) and other file(s). Second program instructions identify one or more of the first lower-level program container file(s) and other file(s) that do not exist in the second lower-level program container file(s) and other file(s), and identify one or more of the second lower-level program container file(s) and other file(s) that do not appear in the first lower-level program container file(s) and other file(s). Third program instructions identify one or more of the second lower-level program container file(s) and other file(s) which have been changed relative to corresponding one or more of the first lower-level program container file(s) and other file(s). The foregoing process is repeated for the changed program container files. | 09-29-2011 |

| 20090310636 | LIGHT INTENSITY BOOST FOR SUBPIXEL ENHANCEMENT - Techniques are disclosed that enable fine features such as serifs and narrow strokes of texts to be produced by xerographic devices, for example. The fine features may be generated by subpixels which are produced when a pulse width used to image a pixel is shorter than a corresponding physical size of a laser beam spot used to write the image on a Xerographic photoreceptor. The laser driver may be modified to drive a light emitting element with a boost current profile that includes an overshoot above a steady state current at a rising edge. The overshoot results in a light intensity time profile that has an increased area for a subpixel. | 12-17-2009 |
