20150238908 | FILTRATION MEMBRANES WITH NANOSCALE PATTERNS - A membrane for fluid transfer includes a base membrane and a pattern, that covers a working area of a surface thereof, formed of a compatible material. The pattern has periodicity and/or amplitude that do not exceed 1 micrometer. A method of filtering a component from a solution includes passing the solution comprising the component through a membrane that includes a base membrane. The base membrane and a pattern that covers a working area of a surface thereof are formed of materials compatible with the solution. The pattern has periodicity and/or amplitude that do not exceed 1 micrometer, and reduces mass transfer of surface-accumulative soluble and/or suspended species and particulates from the solution to the membrane while the solution is passed through the membrane. A method of producing a membrane for fluid transfer includes forming a nanoscale pattern over a working area of a polymer membrane. | 08-27-2015 |

20160106428 | Anastomat and Closure Device with a Pressure Sensor and Automatic Adjustment - An anastomat and closure device having a pressure sensor and automatic adjustment means, that a pressure value from direct or indirect contact of a stapling apparatus and a staple holder can be transmitted and displayed by a pressure sensor. The pressure sensor is installed on either side or on both sides of the stapling apparatus and the staple holder and wherein the pressure is displayed through a pressure sensor shaping circuit, an amplifying circuit, and a display circuit. The benefit of this invention is that surgical operators can intuitively and directly understand the pressure of the anastomotic tissue and determine whether the pressure is appropriate. | 04-21-2016 |

20140301464 | CONTROL DATA FOR MOTION-CONSTRAINED TILE SET - Control data for a motion-constrained tile set (“MCTS”) indicates that inter-picture prediction processes within a specified set of tiles are constrained to reference only regions within the same set of tiles in previous pictures in decoding (or encoding) order. For example, a video encoder encodes multiple pictures partitioned into tiles to produce encoded data. The encoder outputs the encoded data along with control data (e.g., in a supplemental enhancement information message) that indicates that inter-picture prediction dependencies across tile set boundaries are constrained for a given tile set of one or more of the tiles. A video decoder or other tool receives the encoded data and MCTS control data, and processes the encoded data. Signaling and use of MCTS control data can facilitate region-of-interest decoding and display, transcoding to limit encoded data to a selected set of tiles, loss robustness, parallelism in encoding and/or decoding, and other video processing. | 10-09-2014 |
