  • Publication number: 20240125700
    Abstract: A system for identification of a biological structure present in a liquid biopsy sample is provided. The system identifies common biological structures and rare biological structures based on their fluorescence characteristics and morphology. The identified biological structures may be used in diagnosis and treatment of a human afflicted with a disease.

  • Patent number: 11118919
    Abstract: A method for determining a route and time frame for the travel of a motor vehicle which assists the driver in planning their travel and in making fuller use of the technical potential of the motor vehicle is provided. For this purpose, the method includes the following steps: acquiring at least one destination, determining a travel route to the at least one destination; acquiring an adjustable travel mode of the motor vehicle for at least one first section of the travel route; determining the route and time frame for the travel of the motor vehicle depending on the acquired travel mode; and displaying the route and time frame of the travel.

  • Patent number: 9619247
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a memory resource manager may pass data memory structures between application components on a computing device. A memory resource 306 may store a data memory structure for a holding application component 302. A processor 120 may pass a handle representing the data memory structure to a calling application component 308 upon access by the calling application component 308.

  • Patent number: 8667466
    Abstract: Interface identifier parameterization techniques are described. In one or more implementations, a textual description is obtained of a parametric type represented in a binary standard of a programming model and an interface identifier is generated based at least in part on the obtained textual description of the parametric type.

  • Publication number: 20060268500
    Abstract: Systems and methods relating to notebook computers providing enhanced display features are described. In one instance, an exemplary notebook computer includes a housing. The housing includes a base that has a keyboard positioned on the base. The housing also includes a lid attached to the base via a hinge means and configured to swing from a transport-position against the keyboard to a user-position away from the keyboard. The notebook computer also includes a first display device positioned on the lid and generally opposing the keyboard. The notebook computer further includes a second optionally-deployable display device attached to the notebook computer and configured to deploy from a first storage-position to a second user-position in which the second optionally-deployable display device is configured to collectively create a user workspace with the first display device for a user positioned in front of the keyboard and generally opposite the hinge means.

  • Publication number: 20060209334
    Abstract: Various embodiments develop (and consume), along with rendered print job data, metadata that describes certain characteristics of the print job data. This metadata can be provided, along with the rendered data, from a client device to a print server and can allow the print server to ascertain the nature or context of the print job data. In some embodiments, the metadata can describe such things as page boundaries and state transition data. By ascertaining the nature or context of the print job data, the print server is able to intelligently act upon this information and, in at least some embodiments, implement additional print server features that would not be possible if only rendered data were sent to the print server.

  • Publication number: 20060106775
    Abstract: Methods and systems for describing device capabilities are described. An exemplary schema is presented and constitutes the communication language between applications and devices. The schema is built on a framework that uses schema keywords to express the full set of user configurable capabilities for a particular device. In the illustrated and described embodiments, the schema utilizes a hierarchical structure that allows different levels of granularity in expressing a device's capabilities.

  • Publication number: 20050210227
    Abstract: A job completion architecture, includes content that is specified as a hierarchical tree of related content units and a set of multilevel tickets associated with instances of the hierarchically arranged content units. The job manager applies the multilevel tickets, specifying property settings at potentially multiple levels within the hierarchical tree, according to a qualified inheritance rule wherein settings applicable to a set of lower level properties that are specified within a first (higher level) ticket are incorporated into the merged settings to the extent a second (lower level) ticket does not specify settings for the set of lower level properties. If a same property is specified in both a higher and lower level ticket, during merging a setting specified in the lower level ticket overrides the higher level ticket setting.
