Patent number: 9921729Abstract: A method for facilitating multiple simultaneous instant messaging conversations includes: receiving a first online instant message from a first instant messaging conversation, where the user is a participant in the first instant messaging conversation; receiving a second online instant message from a second instant messaging conversation, in which the user is also a participant; integrating the first online instant message and the second online instant message into a sequence of instant messages; and displaying the sequence of instant messages such that the more recently received instant messages are displayed either below or above less recently received instant messages. If the user directs input at the displayed sequence of messages, a second sequence of messages primarily comprising messages from the first instant messaging conversation is displayed.Type: GrantFiled: July 14, 2014Date of Patent: March 20, 2018Assignee: Marengo Intellectual Property Ltd.Inventor: Daryl David Coutts

Patent number: 9837787Abstract: A method and system for generating a Raman second Stokes light to a source light comprising generating a Raman first Stokes light from the source light by a Raman interaction in a nonlinear optical medium disposed in an optical resonator, and resonating the Raman first Stokes light in the optical resonator; generating a seed light at the frequency of the Raman second Stokes light from the source light and the Raman first Stokes light by a four wave mixing process which is not phase matched in the nonlinear medium; amplifying the seed light by transferring power from the first Stokes light resonating in the optical resonator to the seed light using a Raman amplification process in the nonlinear medium; and extracting from the optical resonator a majority of the power of the seed light so amplified.Type: GrantFiled: November 27, 2014Date of Patent: December 5, 2017Assignee: MACQUARIE UNIVERSITYInventors: David James Spence, David Coutts, Richard Paul Mildren, Helen Margaret Pask, Jipeng Lin, Aravindan Warrier

Publication number: 20170336870Abstract: A hands-free, heads up and discrete system and method for controlling a peripheral device using foot gestures is provided. The system includes a foot-based sensory device that includes one or more sensors, such as pressure sensors, gyroscopes, and accelerometers, that receive sensory information from a user's foot, interpret the information as being linked to specific commands, and transmit the commands to at least one display device for controlling the display device. The system also includes a feedback system for providing tactile, visual and/or auditory feedback to the user based on the actions performed, information provided by the display device and/or information provided from another user.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 23, 2015Publication date: November 23, 2017Applicant: Orpyx Medical Technologies Inc.Inventors: Julia Breanne Everett, Llewellyn Lloyd Turnquist, Travis Michael Stevens, Daryl David Coutts, Marcel Groenland

Patent number: 9778131Abstract: A method and assembly for acquiring pressure data. A pressure sensor is applied to a target surface on an individual. A calibrator and a processing element are in communication with the pressure sensor. Processing element receives pressure data and provides an integrated pressure value over a measurement time period. The integrated pressure value is compared to an alert value and to a change condition value. Where an alert value is exceeded, an alert is transmitted to an output device for display. Where a change condition value is exceeded, a measurement parameter of the pressure sensor is changed, or the calibrator is applied to the pressure sensor to recalibrate the pressure sensor to a recalibrated pressure range.Type: GrantFiled: May 21, 2014Date of Patent: October 3, 2017Assignee: ORPYX MEDICAL TECHNOLOGIES INC.Inventors: Julia Breanne Everett, Marcel Groenland, Amanda Rae Hehr, Daryl David Coutts, Llewellyn Lloyd Turnquist, Travis Michael Stevens

Patent number: 7333847Abstract: Provided are a method for evaluation of tissue adhesion level which comprises relating the detection result of gadolinium from MRI image, on which a cross-section of a “boundary surface between a first tissue and a second tissue” of an animal administered with gadolinium has been imaged, to the adhesion level between the first tissue and the second tissue; and a detecting agent of tissue adhesion level. The detecting method of the present invention and detecting agent of the present invention are markedly useful, because they make it possible to detect the adhesion level, which is otherwise difficult to detect from the outside of the body, conveniently, speedily and precisely.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2004Date of Patent: February 19, 2008Assignee: Seikagaku Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: David Amiel, Richard David Coutts, Robert M.

Patent number: 4793609Abstract: An exercise device includes an elastic tube and a pair of elongate handles, each conveniently formed as a unitary member with no moving parts, integrally molded of a plastic. Each handle has a generally cylindrical outer surface and a pair of longitudinal slots formed internally of the outer surface in essentially spaced-apart, side-by-side relationship. The internal slots are dimensioned to grip the outer surface of the tube and have internal longitudinal ribs which enhance the gripping effect. A pair of transverse open-ended access slots are formed in the outer handle surface, each accessing one of the internal longitudinal slots to permit insertion and subsequent longitudinal displacement of the tube in the respective internal slot. An end of the tube is inserted transversely into one internal slot, wrapped through a 180 degree bend about a handle portion separating the internal slots, and then inserted transversely into the other longitudinal slot.Type: GrantFiled: October 6, 1986Date of Patent: December 27, 1988Assignee: Healthletics Inc.Inventors: David Coutts, Amsey Buehler, James Bristow
