  • Publication number: 20240295497
    Abstract: A method and system for determining the presence of a selected analyte in a sample include an all-dielectric, metasurface sensor having one or more arrays of subwavelength-scale, dielectric nanopillars having anisotropic cross-sections. Nanopillars in selected regions of the metasurface sensor may be functionalized with binders for selectively binding the selected analyte. Methods for detecting the selected analyte in a sample rely on exposing the sensor to a test sample, probing the sensor with probe light having a selected polarization state, and comparing the polarization state of output light reflected or transmitted by functionalized regions of the sensor with a baseline polarization state of output light determined with a sample lacking the selected analyte.

  • Publication number: 20240258778
    Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to an electronic device enclosure having a water resistant property capable of withstanding a predetermined minimum displacement force. In an illustrative example, a pressed fit self-aligning device enclosure (PFSADE) may include a housing and a cover. The housing, for example, may include an opening configured to receive electronic components during an assembly processing. After the electronic components are installed, for example, the cover may be coupled to the housing to cover the opening. For example, the cover may include an edge surface around a perimeter of the cover and at least one self-aligning element (SAE) extending orthogonal to the edge surface. For example, the SAE may align the cover in a relative position to the housing, and to withstand a predetermined minimum displacement force threshold. Various embodiments may advantageously prevent leakage due to out of tolerance alignment between the housing and the cover.

  • Patent number: 7154985
    Abstract: The invention relates to simulating 2D X-ray images from 3D CT data. A user can access a repository of CT data of a patient's anatomy 2 by using a computer network system. The CT data has been obtained by a CT scanning of the patient 1. Firstly, the user retrieves the CT image data 3 and a 3D image is generated 4. Secondly, the user may orient the CT image in any orientation desirable with respect to a virtual X-ray source and a virtual image plane. And thirdly, a 2D X-ray image is simulated 6 from the chosen viewpoint and shown to the user.

  • Publication number: 20040240752
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and system for remote visualization and data analysis of graphical data, in particular graphical medical data. A user operates a client machine 21 such as a thin client, a PC, a PDA, etc. and the client machine is connected to a server machine 20 through a computer network. The server machine runs an adaptive streaming module (ASM) which handles the connection between the client and the server. All data and data applications are stored and run on the server. A user at the client side requests data to be shown on the screen of the client, this request 24 is transferred to the server. At the server side the request is interpreted as a request for a particular screen image, and a data application generates the requested screen image and estimates a present available bandwidth 26 of a connection between the client and the server.

  • Patent number: 5097883
    Abstract: A novel folding storm shutter system includes an overhead header presenting a track and a pair of laterally spaced abutment surfaces. The system includes a plurality of trolley supported shutter members which are rotatable about a vertical axis. The system further includes a sill having a guide slot which is disposed beneath the track in alignment therewith. The sill also has a pair of laterally spaced abutment surfaces. An abutment contacting element is disposed at each corner of each shutter member so that when the shutter system is deployed the contact elements come into contact with the abutment surfaces to rigidify the structure. Trolley mechanisms are provided for supporting the trolley supported shutter members from a location midway between the edges of the shutter member so that the entire assembly is evenly balanced to facilitate maneuvering and deployment of the system.
