Patent number: 8066262Abstract: A device for opening a cylindrically bilateral filter canister, such as that houses the M98 chemical, biological, radiological filter for storage and transport. The filter canister is sealed with an epoxy-covered pull-cord that ends in an eye-loop. The device is disposed on a platform for the opening operation. The device includes a frame, first and second rollers, and a winch. The frame includes first and second support members. The first support member engages the platform and supports the second support member. The first and second rollers are disposed parallel to the platform to support the canister along its periphery. The winch includes a drum and a motor and is disposed on the frame. The drum engages the eye-loop. The motor turns said drum to receive the pull-cord from the canister.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2009Date of Patent: November 29, 2011Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the NavyInventors: Walter Dzula, III, Kevin Matthew Cogley, Laura Marie Haak, Gregory Neumann Miller, Brian Franklin Rainer, Anthony Charlie Richardson, George Russell Richardson

Patent number: 8032626Abstract: A service monitor and a browser monitor determine performance metrics on both a server and a client in connection with a distributed application running on a network. While applicable to other types of distributed application data, an example is described in which a Web page is requested by a user running a browser program on the client computer. In response, the server transmits the requested Web page, along with JavaScript code that defines a browser monitor, to the client. A browser monitoring function controlled by this code determines a plurality of different performance metrics related to the access of Web pages by the client. In addition, the server monitor determines performance metrics specific to its function in providing the Web page to the client. A correlated performance metric is determined by combining a server performance metric with a browser performance metric.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2007Date of Patent: October 4, 2011Assignee: Symantec CorporationInventors: Ethan George Russell, Stephen William Cote, Erkki Ville Juhani Aikas, Brian David Marsh, John Bradley Chen

Publication number: 20110231767Abstract: A method and apparatus is disclosed for providing content to a user. The method includes using sensor data from multiple sensors associated with the user to determine a trigger event, determining content associated with the trigger event, and causing the content to be presented to the user. A trigger rule is created which defines the trigger event, representing when content is to be presented. A number of different types of event criteria may be defined, such as position event criteria, movement event criteria, timing or duration criteria, time and/or date criteria, heart rate criteria, or the like, allowing each of the event criteria to be associated with a respective type of sensor. Also disclosed is a method and apparatus for charging for providing content to a user.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 22, 2008Publication date: September 22, 2011Inventors: Anthony George Russell, Vlado Jureta

Publication number: 20090181419Abstract: The invention provides a method (e.g., a computer algorithm) for calculating a number of particles in a HDL subfraction. The method features the steps of: 1) measuring an initial distribution of HDL particles (e.g., a relative mass distribution) from a blood sample; 2) processing the initial distribution of HDL particles with a mathematical model to determine a modified distribution of HDL particles (e.g., a relative particle distribution); 3) determining a total apo-AI content value from a blood sample; and 4) analyzing both the modified distribution of particles and the total apo-AI content value to calculate the apo-AI content value in an HDL subfraction.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 27, 2008Publication date: July 16, 2009Inventors: Frank Ruderman, Christopher Boggess, George Russell Warnick
