20120219398 | METHOD OF DETECTING AND CONTROLLING STALL IN AN AXIAL FAN - A method of detecting stall in an axial fan through acoustical measurements in air the air flow, includes measuring the sound emanating from the flow adjacent the fan, preparing a visual representation of the sound, comparing the visual representation with a library of fixed visual representations derived from a plurality of tests representative of the performance of the fan under a range of operating parameters, selecting the fixed visual representation most closely matching the visual representation of the said sound, and deriving a control signal from the selected fixed visual representation. The visual representations are formed by a symmetrised dot pattern (SDP) technique. | 08-30-2012 |

20140087412 | Method and Device for Application of Fluid Forces to Cells - A system and method of determining biomechanical properties of a cell. A cell is introduced into a multiport flow device, the device being configured such that during fluid flow at least one stagnation zone arises in an expected location within the device. The cell is trapped in the stagnation zone of the device. A selected physical stimulus is applied to the cell, such as rotation, stretching or time-varying shear rate. The cell is observed while trapped to detect an absolute, differential and/or transient effect of the applied physical stimulus and to thereby determine biomechanical properties of the cell. Disease diagnosis may follow, by comparison to a normal control. Selectively directing the cell to a chosen outlet based on observed properties provides cell sorting, which may be implemented in parallel to increase throughput and/or in series to enlarge sorting criteria. Micro-particles may be investigated by use of appropriate particle model. | 03-27-2014 |

20150195343 | APPLICATION LEVEL MIRRORING IN DISTRIBUTED OVERLAY VIRTUAL NETWORKS - Systems and methods for managing mirroring communication between virtual network clients in a distributed overlay virtual network are provided. The method comprises utilization of controlled overlay virtualization infrastructure to facilitate communication between mirrored network clients. The system comprises a source mirrored network client hosted on a first physical port, a target mirrored network client hosted on a second physical port, a first overlay termination point, a second overlay termination point and a network controller. For a set of mirrored network clients, a logical mirror virtual network address is reserved. The controller is extended to contain mapping between the logical mirror network address and a set of virtual network addresses of mirrored clients. The network controller translates the logical mirror virtual network address to a set of destination virtual network addresses of mirrored clients and allows the modified packets to be sent to a set of second virtual network clients. | 07-09-2015 |

20090091566 | System and methods for thick specimen imaging using a microscope based tissue sectioning device - Systems and methods according to embodiments of the present invention facilitate imaging and sectioning of a thick specimen that allow for 3D image reconstruction. An example embodiment employs a laser scanning microscope and sectioning device, where the specimen, and optionally, the sectioning device are affixed to respective programmable stages. The stage normally used for aligning the specimen with the microscope objective is used as an integral component for sectioning the specimen. A specimen is imaged such that the imaging depth is less than the sectioning depth to produce overlap in contiguous sets of images; both acts are repeated until the imaging is completed. A substantially or completely seamless 3D image of the specimen is reconstructed by collecting sets of 2D images and aligning imaged features of structures in overlapping images or portions thereof. Specimen may be from a human, animal, or plant. | 04-09-2009 |
