System and method for instant match based on location, presence, personalization and communication
InactiveUS20050038876A1Great likelihoodLower capability requirementsDigital data information retrievalServices signallingPersonalizationInteractive voice response system
A system and method is described for instantly connecting and matching people and business entities with reciprocal interests in the location of their presence in real-time. Portable communication devices using wireless communication are used for transmitting data between users with reciprocal interests connected through a peer-to-peer network or in a client-server environment. Telephone users utilize an Interactive Voice Response system to communicate with other users of reciprocal interest. A matching algorithm running in a remote computer connected to the devices through network makes an initial assessment about the likelihood of a match, and then with the permission of the requester and the respondent, sets up communication sessions.

Cutting stent
This invention is a stent that has cutting bars or blades in the direction of the balloon and longitudinally at five equidistant points along the direction of the stent's body. There are two patterns in this invention. The first pattern has five blades equidistant from the other and run longitudinally along the direction of the stent body and the other pattern has five shorter blades equidistant from the other to constitute one set. Each set is arranged in a staggered pattern from the next set. Furthermore, the edges of stent's blades or bars are angular or beveled and integrated into a stent strut pattern in order to facilitate the entry of blades into a blockage caused by calcium, plague and / or debris.

Disclosed is a system, method, and program for selecting an input / output (I / O) command in a queue of I / O commands. Each I / O command operates within a range of addressable locations on a storage medium. Each addressable location is defined according to a sector number and track number. The program makes use of a plurality of buckets, wherein each bucket represents a range of consecutive sector numbers. Each queued I / O command is associated with a bucket such that a sector number of an addressable location in which an I / O command operates is within the range of sectors comprising the associated bucket. A reference position is determined. A selection routine is then executed to select an I / O command. The selection routine selects a bucket including at least one I / O command and selects an I / O command within the selected bucket. The routine then determines whether the selected I / O command meets a selection criteria. The routine indicates the selected I / O command as the I / O command to process. Another iteration of the selection routine is performed after determining that the selected I / O command does not meet the selection criteria.

System and process for bootstrap initialization of nonparametric color models
InactiveUS6937744B1Improve accuracyGreat likelihoodTelevision system detailsImage analysisProbabilistic methodData acquisition
The present invention is embodied in a system and process for automatically learning a reliable color-based tracking system. The tracking system is learned by using information produced by an initial object model in combination with an initial tracking function to probabilistically determine the configuration of one or more target objects in a temporal sequence of images, and a data acquisition function for gathering observations relating to color in each image. The observations gathered by the data acquisition function include information that is relevant to parameters desired for a final color-based object model. A learning function then uses probabilistic methods to determine conditional probabilistic relationships between the observations and probabilistic target configuration information to learn a color-based object model automatically tailored to specific target objects. The learned object model is then used in combination with the final tracking function to probabilistically locate and track specific target objects in one or more sequential images.

Bi-ventricular ventricular capture management in cardiac resynchroniziation therapy delivery devices
ActiveUS20130090702A1Great likelihoodSignificant comprehensive benefitsHeart stimulatorsVentricular conductionCRTS
The present invention provides a technique for verifying pacing capture of a ventricular chamber, particularly to ensure desired delivery of a ventricular pacing regime (e.g., “CRT”). The invention also provides ventricular capture management by delivering a single ventricular pacing stimulus and checking inter-ventricular conduction during a temporal window to determine if the stimulus captured. If a loss-of-capture LOC) signal results from the capture management testing, then the applied pacing pulses are modified and the conduction test repeated. If LOC, an alert message can issue. Other aspects include: use of a trend of A-RV / LV and LV-RV timing intervals to monitor changes in the patient's heart conduction properties; bi-ventricular verification test and search—while still pacing BiV by detecting latent sense; single-V pacing threshold search, use of timing of sense in other V chamber to establish capture and LOC windows; (iv) use of a premature V pace rather than short AV interval if VV cannot be discriminated from AV; (v) option to run a threshold search only if the Bi-ventricular verification test fails.
