Abstract: Methods and apparatus for a photodetector system including a photodetector having first and second terminals, wherein the photodetector is configured to generate a current in response to light. A first amplifier has a first input coupled to the first terminal of the photodetector to generate a first output voltage signal corresponding to the current generated by the photodetector. A second amplifier has a first input coupled to the second terminal of the photodetector to generate a second output voltage signal corresponding to the current generated by the photodetector. The first and second amplifiers can have different linear ranges to improve the total linear range of the detector system.

Abstract: Dermal neurofibroma, in particular Neurofibromatosis Type I (NF1) leads to progressive tumor proliferation with no known mechanism to inhibit growth. The present invention relates to the use of photodynamic therapy (PDT) for attenuating tumor growth in NF1 patients. More particularly the invention provides a method of treating dermal neurofibroma comprising topically applying a pharmaceutical composition comprising a photosensitizer to the affected area of a patient, incubating the affected area, and irradiating the affected area with a light of suitable wavelength as per the photosensitizer used, wherein the treatment is characterized by inhibiting the progression of tumor growth and/or reduction in tumor size and/or increased mortality rate of the neurofibroma cell.

Abstract: Methods and systems for identifying and locating assets. Data can be transmitted at regular intervals from a client to a server for processing by the server and stored in a database associated with the server. Such data characterizes the behavior of a user with respect one or more assets that communicate electronically with the server. Based on the data in the database, an indication of the status of the asset (or assets) can be determined. This indication is then utilized to assist in identifying and/or locating the asset.

Abstract: Disclosed is a diagnostic method and system including the processing of historical event logs generated by one or more devices. According to an exemplary embodiment, a diagnostic system includes an event log acquisition module, an event classification module classifying event logs acquired, and a diagnostic module generating a labeled version of the historical event log including labels provided by the classification module. The event classification module is trained using supervised machine learning techniques.

Abstract: A system which utilizes two buffers of dual-port memory to seamlessly display video frames on a raster scanned video display device. Dual port memory is organized into two alternate memory banks, each having sufficient capacity to buffer a full frame of video data. As long as the display memory write and read addresses are sufficiently separated by a predetermined number of lines, video data is written and read using alternate banks of memory for each frame. When the write and read addresses are closer than a predetermined number of lines, the video data already stored in a given bank of memory is re-read. After the write and read addresses are again sufficiently separated, video data is again written and read using alternate banks of memory.

Abstract: A system which utilizes dual-port memory to seamlessly display video frames on a raster scanned display device. Dual port memory is partitioned into a ‘single frame buffer’ having sufficient capacity to buffer a full video frame, and an ‘extension buffer’ which is a contiguous extension of the single frame buffer. The two sections together comprise an ‘extended buffer’. As long as the video memory write and read addresses are sufficiently separated by a predetermined number of lines, video data is written and read using the single frame buffer for each frame. When the write and read addresses are closer than a predetermined number of lines, the incoming video data for the next several new frames is written using the ‘extended’ buffer, and also read therefrom. After the write and read addresses are again sufficiently separated, video data is written and read using only the single frame buffer.
