Patent number: 7209592Abstract: An image storage and display system transmits required image data such as original image data and irreversible compressed image data expediently. Original image data input to the image server from the input modality is subjected to a data compression process by the server computer ad irreversible compressed image data having a decompression ratio of 1/20, 1/50, etc. is thereby produced. In this way, three versions of image data, original image data, and two irreversible compressed image data having different compression ratios are created for a single image and stored in a temporary storage medium. A request is issued from a workstation, connected to the image server via a network, for transmission of the version of image data to be acquired, and the requested image data is read out from the temporary storage medium, transmitted to the workstation and displayed on a monitor.Type: GrantFiled: February 1, 2001Date of Patent: April 24, 2007Assignees: Fuji Film Corp., Fuji Film Medical Systems USAInventors: Scott Keller, Kaushal Shastri, Renee Walsh

Patent number: 6876759Abstract: In an image transmitting system comprising an image server and a display terminal, transmission of image data for use in remote diagnosis is simplified. A communications circuit having a low data transmission rate, such as a telephone line, connects the image server and display terminal. From the display terminal, the subscription of a folder, based on the predetermined subscription conditions, is specified to the image server. The image server classifies image data satisfying the subscription conditions into a folder and manages it. When new image data satisfying the subscription conditions is stored in the image server, notification thereof and/or said new image data is transmitted to the display terminal.Type: GrantFiled: February 1, 2001Date of Patent: April 5, 2005Assignees: Fuji Photo Film Co., Ltd., Fujifilm Medical Systems U.S.A., Inc.Inventors: Scott Keller, Kaushal Shastri, Renee Walsh

Patent number: 6134657Abstract: A method and system for validating access to a computer system in an unobtrusive manner. A finite ordered series of substantive activities, such as icon manipulations, application invocations or file manipulations is specified and stored for future reference. Thereafter, each time access to the computer system is attempted, the initial activities of a prospective user are identified and compared to the stored finite ordered series of substantive activities. Access is validated and continued access permitted in response to a match between the prospective user's initial activities and the stored finite ordered series of substantive activities. In this manner, access to a computer system may be validated without the necessity of utilizing an explicit access/password screen which may be compromised. In one embodiment of the present invention, a selected application may be automatically invoked or a particular activity automatically executed in response to a validation of access.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 1993Date of Patent: October 17, 2000Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: William J. Johnson, Robert Scott Keller, George C. Manthuruthil, Marvin L. Williams

Patent number: 6093237Abstract: An air cleaner arrangement useful for cleaning air in ablative thermal imaging processes includes a housing and a removable and replaceable element assembly. The housing has an interior, an inlet conduit, and an outlet conduit. The element assembly includes first and second filter elements axially aligned and secured together in a stack configuration. The first filter element has a media pack for filtering particulate material. The second filter element has a media pack for filtering noxious gases, such as formaldehyde. In operation, a blower assembly directs airflow through the inlet conduit, into the first element interior, through the first element media pack, through the second element media pack, into the second element interior, and out through the housing outlet conduit. Methods for filtering and changing out of the element assembly are also described herein.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 1998Date of Patent: July 25, 2000Assignee: Donaldson Company, Inc.Inventors: Scott A.

Patent number: 6010665Abstract: Systems and methods for providing an ultra-stable measurement of the density of a fluid/gas species such as ozone in a mixture. The technique is based on information extracted from multi-wavelength light absorption, at which the species exhibits different absorption properties (coefficient values). The technique provides real-time compensation for short- and long-term instability in the light source and detector, and for detectable changes in the optical characteristics of the cell, thus improving the accuracy of the measurement while making frequent zeroing of the instrument unnecessary. In addition, the invention provides a high-performance technique for measuring ultra-high ozone densities using absorption at the Chappuis band.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 1997Date of Patent: January 4, 2000Assignee: IN USA, Inc.Inventors: Victor J. Dosoretz, Baruch Mazor, Scott Keller, Daniel Behr

Patent number: 5876674Abstract: A gas detection and measurement system includes a light source, a light sensor, a test cell body having a first fluid port and a second fluid port, and first and second optical paths from the light source to the light sensor through the test cell. The first and second optical paths have different lengths. As fluid flows through the test cell body, light intensity measurements are taken along the first and second optical paths so that the concentration of a target gas within the fluid can be calculated.Type: GrantFiled: March 20, 1998Date of Patent: March 2, 1999Assignee: In Usa, Inc.Inventors: Victor J.
