Publication number: 20230130301Abstract: The current invention provides an enclosure that can be placed over a patient in order to contain bodily fluids. The device includes a clear plastic sheet that fits snugly over a frame. The sides of the device contain access ports for physicians or their instruments to enter the patient’s area. These ports may be holes or hanging strips of sheet that overlap so that they form a sufficient seal while also allowing easy access to the patient when pushed aside. The bottoms of the sheet may contain weights to hold the sheet down. There is the possibility of including filters or positive/negative air flow ports. The entire device may be disposable. The frame may be solid, or the frame may pop open like an enclosure or umbrella. The device may also have straps that can be tightened underneath the bed or stretcher to secure the entire device in place.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 26, 2021Publication date: April 27, 2023Inventors: Kara L.

Patent number: 9075780Abstract: A document comparison system compares revisions of a document by comparing content of a first revision of an object with content of a second revision of the object to produce a comparison object in a comparison document. The system then determines a footprint of the second revision of the object, where the footprint is a dimensional length and width of the object and its position relative to a page boundary of the document. Next, the system determines whether the entire compared content fits within the footprint of the second revision of the object. If the system determines that the entire compared content fits within the footprint of the second revision of the object, the system displays the comparison object having the same footprint as the second revision of the object. If the system determines that the entire compared content does not fit within the footprint of the second revision of the object, the system then displays the comparison object in a second manner.Type: GrantFiled: May 22, 2014Date of Patent: July 7, 2015Assignee: Workiva Inc.Inventors: John Arthur Bonk, Anthony Ryan Oskvarek, Scott Johns Bacon, Christopher James Lo Coco, Bert Jeffrey Lutzenberger

Patent number: 8776841Abstract: The present invention provides a method, system, and components for protecting reticles and specifically for minimizing haze formation on reticles during storage and use. By substantially continually maintaining a purge in a storage housing having a reduced humidity level on reticles or by temporarily storing the reticle in a container in proximity to a desiccant or getter when not being purged, haze formation can be eliminated, minimized, or sufficiently controlled. Moreover, a filter media in the container may be positioned to be “recharged” during the substantially continual purging of the reticle, a reduced desirable humidity level can be readily maintained in the reticle container when the container is not currently being purged. Additionally, the system of the invention can comprise an ionizer associated with the purge system. For example, the ionizer can be associated with at least one of the plurality of purge lines of the purge system.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 2007Date of Patent: July 15, 2014Assignee: Entegris, Inc.Inventors: Oleg P. Kishkovich, Xavier Gabarre, William M. Goodwin, James Lo, Troy Scoggins

Patent number: 8107141Abstract: A method of providing a print representation of a document which, when printed, has at least one region the appearance of which is dependent on viewing conditions. The method comprises generating a representation of the document and then modifying the appearance of the at least one region to thereby simulate the appearance of the document when printed. This is achieved by animating the representation of the at least one region or at least partially combining the at least one region with an image.Type: GrantFiled: March 6, 2007Date of Patent: January 31, 2012Assignee: Canon Information Systems Research Australia Pty. Ltd.Inventors: Lachlan James Patrick, Julie Rae Kowald, Colin Eric Druitt, Timothy Mark Morris-Yates, Andrew James Lo, Christopher Mark Paola, Kevin Mun Choong Tham, James Robert Metcalfe, Michael Jan Lawther, John Anthony Brett

Patent number: 7548334Abstract: Methods and apparatus for variable document printing are disclosed in which a graphical user interface is configured to allow user manipulation of layout rules associated with content containers within a template for variable document generation. One method involves creating a layout for a variable data document based upon a template. The method firstly sets at least one container in the template to form the layout, and then establishes at least one constraint associated with each selected one of at least one feature of the container, the establishing including, for each feature, detecting a user instigated selection of the corresponding feature. The layout is then modified to thereby generate the document by placing content into the containers, wherein at least one dimension of the least one container and/or a position of the at least one container in the layout are varied based on a property of the placed content on a condition that each constraint in the layout is satisfied.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 2004Date of Patent: June 16, 2009Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Andrew James Lo, Laurence Crew, Alan Valev Tonisson, Andrew John Whitfield King, Lachlan James Patrick

Patent number: 7483342Abstract: An optical storage reconditioning module extends the life of re-writable optical medium, such as DVD+RW optical storage disks, by writing random information to recondition commonly used portions of the optical medium before re-writing information to those portions of the optical medium. For instance, a stored file system structure of an optical medium, such as a Universal Disk Format (UDF) random writable file system, is updated by reading to a buffer the structure from the optical medium, over writing the structure with random information recondition transitions between data points of the structure, updating the file system structure in the buffer and writing the updated file system structure over the random information.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2003Date of Patent: January 27, 2009Assignee: Dell Products L.P.Inventors: Dean Hendrickson, Hong-Jing (James) Lo, Christiaan Steenbergen

Patent number: 7468805Abstract: Methods and apparatus for proofing (644) a variable document intended for printing are disclosed in which a GUI (2000) is configured to allow user manipulation of layout rules associated with content containers within a template for variable document generation. Selective proofing (2100) involves proofing a plurality of variable data documents each formed from a common layout in which variable data content is placed into containers having locations and sizes within the layout and defined by layout rules. Measures of variation (2103, 2106) and measures of deviation (2109, 2110) are calculated. The measures of deviation are processed (2112) to give a deviation value. Once completed for each document, the deviation values of the documents are compared (2114) to identify at least one group of the documents for presentation for further assessment. Live proofing includes creating a layout (2002) for a variable data document based upon a template established in the GUI.Type: GrantFiled: July 14, 2004Date of Patent: December 23, 2008Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Andrew James Lo, John Charles Brook, Alan Valev Tonisson, Lachlan James Patrick

Patent number: 7051234Abstract: An optical storage update module extends the life of re-writable optical medium, such as DVD+RW optical storage disks, by identifying data units having and lacking updates for information writes to commonly used portions of the optical medium and then writing the information by writing data units having updates and restricting the writing of at least some of the data units lacking updates. For instance, a stored file system structure of an optical medium, such as a UDF random writable file system, is read from the optical medium and compared with an updated file system structure to identify and write to the optical medium substantially only those data units changed by the updated file system structure. In one embodiment, file structure updates are written to the optical storage medium with Read Modify Write operations.Type: GrantFiled: February 7, 2003Date of Patent: May 23, 2006Assignee: Dell Products L.P.Inventors: Hong-Jing (James) Lo, Christiaan Steenbergen
