Abstract: Methods, devices and systems are disclosed for inter-app communications between software applications on a mobile communications device. In one aspect, a computer-readable medium on a mobile computing device comprising an inter-application communication data structure to facilitate transitioning and distributing data between software applications in a shared app group for an operating system of the mobile computing device includes a scheme field of the data structure providing a scheme id associated with a target software app to transition to from a source software app, wherein the scheme id is listed on a scheme list stored with the source software app; and a payload field of the data structure providing data and/or an identification where to access data in a shared file system accessible to the software applications in the shared app group, wherein the payload field is encrypted.

Abstract: A digital thermometer includes a first oscillator to generate a first clock signal, wherein a period of the first clock signal remains constant in view of changes in a temperature of the apparatus and a first counter coupled to the first oscillator, the first counter to count a fixed number of cycles of the first clock signal associated with a measurement period. The digital thermometer further includes a second oscillator to generate a second clock signal, wherein a period of the second clock signal varies with changes in the temperature and a second counter coupled to the second oscillator, the second counter to generate an output representing a count of a number of cycles of the second clock signal that occur during the measurement period. In addition, the digital thermometer includes calibration circuitry coupled to the second counter, the calibration circuitry to calibrate the output of the second counter to generate a value representing the temperature of the apparatus.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for medical imaging uses a first and second contrast agent, the second agent targeted to a particular tissue type. First images are obtained using the first agent, and second images using the second agent using medical imaging systems. An image processing system is adapted to process the first and second medical images by fitting parameters of a pharmacokinetic model to the first medical images, identifying a nontargeted tissue type, scaling the fitted parameters to best match the nontargeted tissue in the second medical images, executing the pharmacokinetic model to prepare a correction image, and generating corrected medical images by subtracting the correction image from the second medical images.

Abstract: The tool includes a body having an aperture disposed transversely there-through and tool bits disposed at either end. In use two tools are mated together by disposing the end of one tool through the aperture of another, thereby forming a tool having an operative portion and a torque handle.
