20110032529 | UNIVERSAL WAVELENGTH CALIBRATION SOURCE USING A STABLE MONOLITHIC INTERFEROMETER - Calibration of an arbitrary spectrometer can use a stable monolithic interferometer as a wavelength calibration standard. Light from a polychromatic light source is input to the monolithic interferometer where it undergoes interference based on the optical path difference (OPD) of the interferometer. The resulting wavelength-modulated output beam is analyzed by a reference spectrometer to generate reference data. The output beam from the interferometer can be provided to an arbitrary spectral instrument. Wavelength calibration of the arbitrary spectral instrument may then be performed based on a comparison of the spectral instrument output with the reference data. By appropriate choice of materials for the monolithic interferometer, a highly stable structure can be fabricated that has a wide field and/or is thermally compensated. Because the interferometer is stable, the one-time generated reference data can be used over an extended period of time without re-characterization. | 02-10-2011 |

From the angle dependent phase shift, the geometric thickness and refractive index of the sample can be simultaneously obtained. Additionally or alternatively, the S-LCI system can interrogate the sample to profile the location and refractive index of one or more layers within the sample using the disclosed techniques. | 06-19-2014 |

The central key server receives, from a data server of a first healthcare facility, a request for an access key that controls access to health information for a patient maintained by a second healthcare facility. In response to the request, the central key server authenticates credentials of the patient and the first healthcare facility, verifies permission from the patient to release the access key to the first healthcare facility, locates the access key for the health information for the patient at the second healthcare facility, and provides the access key to the first healthcare facility. The access key is used by the data server of the first healthcare facility to obtain health information for the patient directly from the data server of the second healthcare facility after successful authentication and verification by the second healthcare facility. | 01-27-2011 |

20110118596 | AUTOMATIC ANALYSIS IN VIRTUAL ENDOSCOPY - A computer system and a computer-implemented method are provided for interactively displaying a three-dimensional rendering of a structure having a lumen and for indicating regions of abnormal wall structure. A three-dimensional volume of data is formed from a series of two-dimensional images representing at least one physical property associated with the three-dimensional structure. An isosurface of a selected region of interest is created by a computer from the volume of data based on a selected value or values of a physical property representing the selected region of interest. A wireframe model of the isosurface is generated by the computer wherein the wireframe model includes a plurality of vertices. The vertices are then grouped into populations of contiguous vertices having a characteristic indicating abnormal wall structure by the computer. The wireframe model is then rendered by the computer in an interactive three-dimensional display to indicate the populations of abnormal wall structure. | 05-19-2011 |
