  • Publication number: 20070005798
    Abstract: The invention, in one embodiment, is directed to systems and methods for providing a “Virtual Radiology” service. This service, potentially, can provide any radiological digital image data to any computer at any institution. The service is “Virtual” in that the radiological digital image data accessible on a DICOM LAN and PACS of a first institution is made available to a second institution, without either institution having to open their networks to each other, establish legal or other business relationships and understandings or to become administratively involved with each other.

  • Publication number: 20050237776
    Abstract: A method for verifying coupling in a differential via pair group includes identifying a differential via pair group in a design database and identifying a victim differential via pair in the differential via pair group. All other differential via pairs in the differential via pair group are identified as culprit differential pairs. The differential via pair group includes at least one culprit differential via pair. The method also includes obtaining a total coupling threshold level and calculating a total coupling factor for the victim differential via pair within the differential via pair group. The method also includes flagging the victim differential via pair if the calculated total coupling factor exceeds the total coupling threshold level.

  • Patent number: 4029959
    Abstract: A plant light sensor adaptor for converting a plant soil moisture monitoring device into a plant light sensing device is provided. The plant soil moisture monitoring device includes first and second metal electrodes and an indicator coupled to the electrodes for sensing and indicating current flow due to the electro-galvanic response produced by the difference in the redox potential in the first and second metal electrodes, which current flow is controlled by the moisture content of the plant soil under test.

  • Patent number: 3937347
    Abstract: An apothecary safety closure for a bottle neck capable of preventing inadvertent opening of the bottle is provided. The safety closure includes a liner adapted to be inserted into and frictionally engaged by the bottle neck. The liner includes a recess therein and structure for effecting a removal of the liner from the bottle neck. A stopper includes a cylindrical wall portion adapted to be inserted into the liner recess and rotated therein. The cylindrical wall portion is formed with operative portions adapted to be selectively aligned with the operative structure on the liner in response to selective rotation of the stopper to effect removal of the liner from the bottle neck by the stopper.
