InactiveUS20070088333A1Careful monitoringTightly controlPharmaceutical delivery mechanismCatheterRate of infusionUrine
A patient intravenous (I.V.) infusion pump and biosensors, such as urine volume and sodium concentration sensors, are combined in an infusion system to infuse controlled amount of osmotic agent, such as hypertonic saline, into a blood vessel of a patient. A control subsystem is responsive to the biosensors output and configured to automatically adjust the infusion rate of the infusion pump based on said output. The resulting therapy increases urine output to resolve fluid overload and edema.

Spin transfer MRAM device with magnetic biasing

The addition of segmented write word lines to a spin-transfer MRAM structure serves to magnetically bias the free layer so that the precessional motion of the magnetization vector that is set in play by the flow of spin polarized electrons into the free layer allows said magnetic vector to be switched rather than to oscillate between two easy axis directions.

Apparatus and method for precision thermal processing of a body

The invention pertains to apparatus and method for precision thermal processing of a body. An energy beam emanating from an energy beam source is scanned across the surface of the body, creating heat input through a moving spot on the surface of said body. By means described herein to condition the spot shape and flux profile, the flux profile within the spot is configured to approximate a thermal solution obtained by solving a boundary condition of the third kind imposed upon the moving spot associated with the beam as it is scanned across the body. In this manner a predetermined surface temperature profile is imposed on the surface of the body within a moving, locally heated spot of predetermined shape and size.Potential uses include any application which would benefit from the ability to apply a prescribed uniform or variable thermal process to the surface of a body, thus including but not limited to thermal processing of inorganic materials, such as metals and ceramics, and thermal processing of polymeric or organic materials or tissues. Exemplary desired outcomes range from an improvement of surface properties, such as hardness or wear resistance, to the fabrication of a component through an additive manufacturing process.

Cloud-based build service

ActiveUS20130055253A1Highly available and dynamically scalable and efficient build serviceExcess capacityVersion controlSoftware simulation/interpretation/emulationCloud baseScalable distributed
Building binary packages for software products, particularly large-scale software products, is a highly computation intensive process. Thus, it is desirable to distribute the workload over a large number of computing nodes so as to have the build process complete in an optimal period of time. One environment providing compute resources that can be utilized for a highly available and dynamically scalable distributed build process is an elastic compute cloud. In such an environment, virtual machines can be instantiated and destroyed as the resource requirements of the build process dictate. This has the advantage that dedicated hardware is unneeded, and excess capacity on the hardware employed can be employed for other computation tasks when the build process is idle. Presented herein are systems, methods and computer storage media for distributing a highly available and scalable build service, suitable for use in an elastic compute environment or other distributed environment.
