20100116876 | LABORATORY SAMPLING MACHINE AND METHODS FOR MAINTAINING CHAIN OF CUSTODY FOR SAMPLES - A machine and methods for maintaining chain of custody during a sampling procedure is provided, the machine including a sample handling robot having an operation head and a verification head. The verification head can be one of a barcode reader, OCR scanner, of RFID tag reader. The verification head of the machine is adapted to read a sample container prior to sampling an aliquot of liquid, and transferring the aliquot to a testing vial. Each sample container and corresponding testing vial is read prior to performing an operation, such that a chain of custody is properly recorded. The machine can further comprise a secondary robot for improved operation. | 05-13-2010 |

20120117318 | HETEROGENEOUS COMPUTING SYSTEM COMPRISING A SWITCH/NETWORK ADAPTER PORT INTERFACE UTILIZING LOAD-REDUCED DUAL IN-LINE MEMORY MODULES (LR-DIMMS) INCORPORATING ISOLATION MEMORY BUFFERS - A heterogeneous computing system comprising a switch/network adapter port interface utilizing load-reduced dual in-line memory modules (LR-DIMMs) incorporating isolation memory buffers. In a particular embodiment of the present invention the computer system comprises at least one dense logic device and a controller coupling it to a memory bus. A plurality of memory slots are coupled to the memory bus and an adaptor port is associated with some number of the plurality of memory slots, each of the adapter ports including associated memory resources. A direct execution logic element is coupled to at least one of the adapter ports. The memory resources are selectively accessible by the at least one dense logic device and the direct execution logic element. | 05-10-2012 |
20130157639 | MOBILE ELECTRONIC DEVICES UTILIZING RECONFIGURABLE PROCESSING TECHNIQUES TO ENABLE HIGHER SPEED APPLICATIONS WITH LOWERED POWER CONSUMPTION - Disclosed herein are mobile electronic devices utilizing reconfigurable processing techniques to enable higher speed applications with lowered power consumption for, inter alia, increased device battery life. The techniques disclosed herein enable greatly enhanced compression/decompression as well as encryption and decryption functionality to be provided in addition to overall greater processing capability particularly in those applications wherein minimization of power consumption is desired. Package-on-package and other assembly techniques may be used to provide the reconfigurable processor in a small footprint package. | 06-20-2013 |
20140359199 | MULTI-PROCESSOR COMPUTER ARCHITECTURE INCORPORATING DISTRIBUTED MULTI-PORTED COMMON MEMORY MODULES - A multi-processor computer architecture incorporating distributed multi-ported common memory modules wherein each of the memory modules comprises a control block functioning as a cross-bar router in conjunction with one or more associated memory banks or other data storage devices. Each memory module has multiple I/O ports and the ability to relay requests to other memory modules if the desired memory location is not found on the first module. A computer system in accordance with the invention may comprise memory module cards along with processor cards interconnected using a baseboard or backplane having a toroidal interconnect architecture between the cards. | 12-04-2014 |

20090292199 | CATHETER - An improved catheter is provided. The catheter may include a deflectable member located at a distal end of the catheter. The deflectable member may comprise an ultrasound transducer array. The catheter may include a lumen extending from a proximal end of the catheter to the distal end. The lumen may be used to deliver an interventional device to a point distal to the distal end of the catheter. The deflectable member may be selectively deflectable in a pivot-like manner through an arc of at least 90 degrees. In embodiments where the deflectable member includes an ultrasound transducer array, the ultrasound transducer array may be operable to image both when aligned with the catheter and when pivoted relative to the catheter. When pivoted relative to the catheter, the ultrasound transducer array may have a field of view distal to the distal end of the catheter. | 11-26-2009 |
