20100011283MINIMIZING THE COPYING OF AN EXTENSIBLE MARKUP LANGUAGE (XML) TREE WHEN REFERENCING TREE NODES DURING EXTENSIBLE STYLESHEET LANGUAGE TRANSFORMATIONS (XSLT) PROCESSING - The invention includes a label tree action and a generate reference action function. The label tree action can execute a first time a copy of an XML tree is made (or when an XML tree is analyzed and determined not to contain id_attributes). The add id_attribute can add an id_attribute for each element of the XML tree that does not already have an associated id_attribute. This attribute can be set to a value returned by an XSLT generate-id( ) function. The generate reference action can deliver a string that will be used to refer to a given element. When an id_attribute for the given element is present within the XML tree, the generate reference action can return a value of the id_attribute. When no id_attribute is present for the given element, the generate reference action can return a value of the XSLT generate-id( ) function for the element.01-14-2010

20080228081Ultrasonic Intracavity Probe For 3D Imaging - An intracavity ultrasound probe includes a pivotally mounted array transducer which is oscillated to scan a volumetric region from within the body. The transducer is oscillated by a motor located in the probe handle. The array transducer is immersed in a liquid which acoustically couples ultrasonic energy between the elements of the transducer and the body. The acoustic coupling liquid is located in the distal tip of the probe shaft, where only 6 cc of liquid is required. The small amount of liquid reduces the weight of the shaft of the probe so that the center of gravity of the probe is in the handle, making the probe comfortable and easy to manipulate. The majority of parts in the probe shaft are made of aluminum or other low density materials, keeping the overall weight of the probe to about 250 grams.09-18-2008
