20100042968 | Method for software cost estimating using scope champions - The invented method is based on the assumption that the product scope of software is defined by a complete set of requirements on the same level of abstraction. Based on this assumption, a limited number, up to seven, requirements (scope champions) are estimated using one of the existing estimating approaches. The average of the obtained estimates is multiplied by a total amount of requirements and by a constant. The result is the final product scope estimate. | 02-18-2010 |
20100114638 | Method and Software for the Measurement of Quality of Process - The invented method and software consolidate and automate the mechanism of quality of process (QoP) measurement in software development projects, and in any other business activity. Quality policy is defined as a collection of quality requirements, with software modules, that automatically calculate the value of each quality metric. Weighted average of all quality metrics is a QoP indicator, which can be used for project monitoring, team motivation and business feasibility study. | 05-06-2010 |
20120023476 | Puzzle Driven Development (PDD) Method and Software - Puzzle Driven Development (PDD) method and software that optimizes communication and planning of concurrent development in a distributed software project by means of @todo tags (called “puzzles”) maintained in the source code by software engineers. | 01-26-2012 |
20120117164 | Method and Software of NetBout - NetBout is an alternative method of online communication that replaces or stays on top of e-mails, instant messaging, audio and video conferences, tracking systems, shared documents, and social networks. NetBout is an isolated persistent communication environment providing persistency, isolation, anonymity and usability for its participants. | 05-10-2012 |

20080255449 | Ablation Devices and Methods With Ultrasonic Imaging - Ablation apparatus such as a catheter ( | 10-16-2008 |
20110118632 | CARDIAC ABLATION DEVICES - A cardiac ablation device treats atrial fibrillation by directing and focusing ultrasonic waves into a ring-like ablation region (A). The device desirably is steerable and can be moved between a normal disposition, in which the ablation region lies parallel to the wall of the heart for ablating a loop-like lesion, and a canted disposition, in which the ring-like focal region is tilted relative to the wall of the heart, to ablate only a short, substantially linear lesion. The ablation device desirably includes a balloon reflector structure ( | 05-19-2011 |
20120143233 | ULTRASONIC SURGICAL INSTRUMENT, ASSOCIATED SURGICAL METHOD AND RELATED MANUFACTURING METHOD - An ultrasonic therapeutic apparatus includes a handle, a horn or concentrator section terminating in an operative tip, and a transducer assembly set disposed in the handle and operatively engaged with the horn or concentrator section for generating ultrasonic mechanical vibrations therein to vibrate the operative tip during contact thereof with target tissue at a surgical site in a patient. An electrical waveform generator is operatively connected to the transducer assembly for energizing the transducer assembly set with one or more predetermined time reversal ultrasonic waveforms that, upon being applied to the transducer assembly set, result in respective predetermined patterns of motion of the operative tip. | 06-07-2012 |
20130060140 | Dual-Mode Piezocomposite Ultrasonic Transducer - A compact, high power, dual mode, emitting and receiving ultrasound transducer and method for applying ultrasonic energy within a living subject and for monitoring the effects it induces in tissue comprises a set of piezoelectric polymeric transducer elements and a set of piezoelectric ceramic elements, bonded together. The polymeric transducer elements have electrodes enabling their use for low power diagnostic imaging interrogation of the tissue and the ceramic transducer elements have electrodes enabling their use for high power therapy applications. | 03-07-2013 |
20130060141 | ULTRASONIC TRANSDUCER ASSEMBLY - An ultrasound transducer assembly includes an acoustic focusing lens and a therapy transducer mounted to a holder member so that the lens is movable relative to the transducer. The lens and the transducer are mounted to the holder member so that the lens is spaced a predetermined distance from the transducer element. A liquid layer having a thickness of the predetermined distance is provided between the lens and the transducer element. A solid backing member is disposed on a side of the transducer element opposite the lens. The backing member is spaced by an additional liquid layer of a predetermined thickness from the transducer element. The focusing depth of the lens-transducer assembly is controllable by transducer operating frequency. | 03-07-2013 |
