| 20110098834 | PLANNING METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR OPTIMIZING STOCK AND PRODUCTION PLAN IN BATCH PROCESS INDUSTRY - The method provides a planning system where production plans and safety stocks are determined simultaneously, thus resulting in coupled target stock calculation and production plan. The closer the manufacturing process gets to the next production event, the lower the safety stock needs to be. In this approach, assumptions on the average production lead time—which might be wrong—do not need to be made. Indeed, if the production plan and the safety stock are simultaneously computed, it is clear when the next production is going to occur. As a result, production variability only needs to be considered in relation to the probability of unexpected events in manufacturing (e.g. a machine breakdown) as opposed to taking provision for variability of the production cycle due to situations that can be anticipated at the planning step. | 04-28-2011 |

| 20120002203 | Sensitivity enhancement in grating coupled surface plasmon resonance by azimuthal control - A method and a system for the enhancement of the sensitivity in surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensors based metallic grating by exploiting the conical configuration is presented. We consider the propagation of surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) excited by light from the visible to infrared spectrum range, incident on a plasmonic grating at different directions by varying both the zenith and azimuthal angles. For specific azimuthal angles, SPPs propagate in the grating plane perpendicular to the incident light momentum. This is the condition that allows increasing the number of different excited SPPs modes largely. We exploit this effect to increase the sensor sensitivity with the change of refractive index of thin film on the plasmonic grating surface. Polarization effects also contribute to a further modes enhancement and increase the sensitivity. A scheme for a lab-on-chip implementation of a system that allows a parallel detection in microfluidic channels has been shown. | 01-05-2012 |

| 20090157134 | Device For Characterizing the Cardiac Status Of A Patient Equipped With A Biventricular Pacing Active Implant - A medical device for characterizing the cardiac status of a patient equipped with a bi-ventricular pacing active implant device. The implant collects an endocardiac acceleration signal and searches for an optimal pacing configuration. This latter tests a plurality of different pacing configurations and delivers for each tested configuration parameters derived from the endocardiac acceleration peak (PEA). The device derives a patient clinical status from those parameters, the indication being representative of the patient's response to the cardiac resynchronization therapy. Those parameters include: the possibility to automatically get or not a valid optimal AV Delay among all the biventricular pacing configurations; a factor indicating the character sigmoid of the PEA/AVD characteristic; the average value of the PEA for the various configurations; and the PEA signal/noise ratio. The active implantable medical device includes control software and processes for executing the characterizing functionality described. | 06-18-2009 |
