20130225446 | RNA-MEDIATED GENE ASSEMBLY FROM DNA OLIGONUCLEOTIDES - The present invention is directed to methods and materials for RNA-mediated gene assembly from oligonucleotide sequences. In some embodiments, the oligonucleotides used for gene assembly are provided in an array format. An RNA polymerase promoter is appended to surface-bound oligonucleotides and a plurality of RNA copies of each oligonucleotide are then produced with an RNA polymerase. These RNA molecules self-assemble into a desired full-length RNA transcript by hybridization and ligation. The resulting RNA transcript may then be converted into double strand DNA useful in a variety of applications including protein expression. | 08-29-2013 |

20140156861 | Clustering Support Across Geographical Boundaries - An approach is presented that provides computer clustering support across geographical boundaries. Inter-node communications are managed in a cluster by having each node operate at the network device driver (NDD) level within the kernel. Multiple types of NDD are utilized (Ethernet, SAN, DISK etc.) to provide redundancy so that nodes can reliably exchange heartbeat. To align with this architecture, for remote nodes, a pseudo NDD is used over Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) based communication interface to work along side other NDDs. Thus, the same packet which is sprayed over the NDDs pertaining to local nodes can be sprayed over the TCPSOCK NDD interface for remote nodes. Nodes (local or remote) receive the same packet and reassemble and process it in the same manner. | 06-05-2014 |

20120274322 | MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING APPARATUS - A magnetic resonance imaging apparatus that carries out a pulse sequence for making a signal of a first substance within an object smaller than a signal of a second substance within the object. The pulse sequence includes an α°-pulse for exciting the object, a refocus pulse for refocusing a phase of spin within a region excited by the α°-pulse, and a readout gradient field for acquiring a magnetic resonance signal from the region. The α°-pulse has a spectral selectivity such that a transverse magnetization of the first substance is made smaller than a transverse magnetization of the second substance. The refocus pulse has a spectral selectivity such that a phase of spin of the second substance is refocused and refocusing of a phase of spin of the first substance is suppressed. | 11-01-2012 |

20130318707 | PATIENT TRANSFER BOARD, TRANSFER ASSEMBLY, AND A METHOD OF MANUFACTURING A TRANSFER BOARD - A patient transfer board including an elongated board body that extends lengthwise along a longitudinal axis between leading and trailing ends of the board body. The transfer board has a top side and an underside of the board body. The underside includes first and second side edges that extend along the longitudinal axis. The underside includes alignment slots having respective openings at the first side edge. The alignment slots are defined by interior sidewalls. The alignment slots are configured to receive reference elements of the patient table through the respective openings when the transfer board is moved in a lateral direction that is generally transverse to the longitudinal axis. The sidewalls are configured to engage the corresponding reference elements and direct the transfer board toward a designated position. | 12-05-2013 |

20120259224 | Ultrasound Machine for Improved Longitudinal Tissue Analysis - An ultrasound machine provides for segmentation of tissue structure that may track isolated tissue structures over multiple frames of data taken over time. Analysis of the isolated tissue structure permits better discrimination of small differences between tissue structures such as may indicate tissue damage or disease. | 10-11-2012 |
20140371587 | Ultrasound Machine Providing Composite Image Data - An ultrasound imaging system combines successive images of a time series to produce high-resolution ultrasound. A piecewise registration process and deemphasizing of high-frequency spatial components may be used to aid in the combination process. A high-definition image may be obtained with or separately from this process by combining different images obtained with different ultrasound frequencies. The images are weighted to accentuate the contribution of high-frequency ultrasound data at the leading edge of imaged structure. | 12-18-2014 |

20130226903 | PREDICTING QUERY EXECUTION TIME - There are provided a system and method for predicting query execution time in a database system. A cost model determination device determines a cost model of a database query optimizer for the database system. The cost model models costs of queries applied to the database system. A profiling device determines profiling queries for profiling input/output cost units and processor cost units relating to the database system, and profiles the cost units using the profiling queries to output profiled cost units. A calibrating device calibrates cost units in the cost model responsive to the profiled cost units to output calibrated cost units. A sampling re-estimator samples and re-estimates a cardinality estimation of a final query plan to output an updated cardinality estimation. A predictor applies the calibrated cost units and the updated cardinality estimation in the cost model to generate a prediction of an execution time of a given query. | 08-29-2013 |
