  • Patent number: 8095653
    Abstract: An embodiment of the present invention includes a system and method for detecting and monitoring confidential and DICOM image traffic on a computing device in a PACS network. Embodiments of the present invention protect patient confidentiality by preventing the simultaneous display of confidential images and patient identification information when measuring and displaying the image data. The system detects and measures the transfer of confidential images and stores and displays information included in only the non-confidential headers of the images. The system monitors and warns (such as via email and/or pagers) PACS administrators of system slowdowns as a result of the data gathered.

  • Patent number: 8094579
    Abstract: A controlling node for a cell in a cellular system, arranged to measure a performance indicator of the communication between the node and at least one user and to aggregate the measured performance indicator for at least one user over an amount of time. The performance indicator is measured as the amount of data bits successfully transferred as data blocks in uplink and/or downlink between the controlling node and the at least one user during said defined amount of time, divided by the number of smallest physical resources in the system in terms of time and frequency used during said defined amount of time. One or more predefined combinations of one or more data blocks and one or more said smallest physical resources in the system is/are excluded from the aggregated measurement.

  • Patent number: 8091194
    Abstract: The system according to the invention allows the separation of two equipment items of an installation in a confined environment, without interrupting the confinement inside this installation. It primarily comprises a confinement flange (10) placed tightly between the two parts of the installation, and comprising a slot (12) protected by a temporary cover (11). The assembly is completed by a guillotine made up of two closure plates (20A, 20B) pressed against each other before their insertion into the slot (12). Once this insertion of the guillotine is complete, the two closure plates (20A) and (20B) can be separated from each other so as to each constitute a tight covering of the two parts of the installation to be separated. Application to confinement installations for the implementation of vacuum intervention methods where one wishes to maintain a special confinement.

  • Patent number: 8094255
    Abstract: A multi-domain vertical alignment liquid crystal display that does not require physical features on the substrate (such as protrusions and ITO slits) is disclosed. Each pixel of the MVA LCD is subdivided into color components, which are further divided into color dots. The drive component areas, i.e. where switching elements and storage capacitors are located, are converted to associated dots by adding an electrode that can be electrically biased. The voltage polarity of the color dots and associated dots are arranged so that fringe fields in each color dot causes multiple liquid crystal domains in each color dot. Specifically, the color dots and associated dots of a pixel are arranged so that associated dots have opposite polarity as compared to neighboring color dots.

  • Patent number: 8095660
    Abstract: A Principal Referencing method is described herein which enables an inviting principal-A to have access control over their shared resources by introducing a pair of user identifiers associated with an invited principal-B which are created and delivered during an invitation process. Each identifier is shared between two parties. The first identifier is shared between the Discovery Services (DS-A and DS-B) of both principals, invited and inviting. The second identifier identifies the invited principal-B as well, but it is shared between the inviting principal's web service provider (WSP-A) and the DS-A. Thus, the DS-A is the identifier switching point which isolates both identifier planes. The purpose of these two identifiers is to enable the invited principal-B to be referenced/identified during a discovery and access process without compromising her/his privacy by allowing anyone identifier to be shared between more than two parties.

  • Patent number: 8093866
    Abstract: The management method comprises a charging phase and may comprise an optional prior phase of estimating the state of charge of the battery. Comparison of the absolute value of the slope of the voltage at the battery terminals with a full-charge threshold at the end of each period, when a pulsed current is applied, is used as end-of-charging criterion in the charging phase and/or as full-charge criterion in the phase of estimating the state of charge. The charging phase by pulsed current is interrupted when the slope reaches the full-charge threshold. This same comparison constitutes the criterion for estimating the necessity for going to a charging step after the prior phase of estimating the state of charge of the battery.
