Publication number: 20110282863Abstract: This invention discloses how Virtual Database Technology can be used to make disparate data appear to be (or act as) the sort of uniform data one expects to find within a single relational database. In particular, we show how to process queries similar to those one might use in a database, even though the underlying data may be missing some of the capabilities that are required by normal databases. Whereas traditional databases require that all the tuples in a table be stored, our approach allows queries over tables where the tuples are generated as required from the data sources, and may not be stored anywhere. We show how such facilities can be used as a new foundation for Internet search.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 11, 2010Publication date: November 17, 2011Inventors: Donald Cohen, Krishnamurthy Narayanaswamy

Publication number: 20110066162Abstract: The invention is a device that generates a cool fluid stream that has properties adequate to remove superficial layers of tissue. The stream is generated to render the target tissue much more brittle in its mechanical behavior than it would otherwise be; principally by temperature and pressure rise and decay rates. The primary intended use is for dermatologic skin resurfacing, though it may be used to remove superficial layers of tissue anywhere in the body.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 16, 2009Publication date: March 17, 2011Applicant: Vandolay, Inc.Inventor: Donald Cohen

Publication number: 20070173448Abstract: An improved solution for use in the removal of cataractous lenses via liquefracture is described. The liquefracture solution contains a viscosity-enhancing agent to increase the residence time of the solution in the heating chamber of the liquefracture handpiece, thereby increasing the expulsion force of the solution from the handpiece (i.e., “pulse force”). An agent that releases gas when the liquefracture solution is heated in the handpiece may also be included in the solution, thereby also enhancing the pulse force of the solution upon expulsion from the handpiece. The solution preferably also contains a partially water-soluble agent that forms a temporarily insoluble precipitate when heated in a liquefracture handpiece. The precipitate acts as an abrasive agent when expelled with the liquefracture solution from the handpiece, thereby facilitating the cutting and disintegration of the cataractous lens material.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 30, 2006Publication date: July 26, 2007Inventors: Mandar Shah, Glenn Sussman, Donald Cohen, Uday Doshi, Kerry Markwardt

Publication number: 20060237674Abstract: An automatic faucet system includes a sensor and a controller. The sensor includes an emitter constructed and arranged to emit light having a first polarization toward an object. The sensor further includes a detector configured to detect light reflected from the object having a second polarization that is different from the first polarization. The controller is operatively coupled to the detector. The controller is configured to supply water to a faucet, or other water supply, upon sensing by the detector the light having the second polarization. By sensing in such a manner, the level of false positive readings in the system is reduced. The detector is further configured to determine the location of the object so that the faucet is only activated when the object is in close proximity to the faucet.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 25, 2005Publication date: October 26, 2006Inventors: Jeffrey Iott, Donald Cohen, James Disser

Publication number: 20060224886Abstract: The invention computes approximate origins of data packets transmitted over the Internet. Law enforcement agencies and network operators can use it to assign responsibility for observed Internet activities. The invention uses a small number of cooperative locations (incoming links on routers or switches) to provide link identification data: whether a packet or did or did not traverse that location. The system uses these cooperative places to generate the link signature of a data packet—which places observed and did not observe the packet. Potential origin locations are divided into blocks that have the same link signatures to given destination locations. The blocks are used to generate reverse routing data, potential source addresses for different link signatures. Variations of the invention store relevant link identification and reverse routing data to find the origins of past packets or to compute the origins of packets from partial information about packets of interest.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 5, 2005Publication date: October 5, 2006Inventors: Donald Cohen, Krishnamurthy Narayanaswamy

Publication number: 20050065531Abstract: A blood vessel occlusion system and method includes a handheld probe including a power source, the probe being adapted to transmit energy from the power source through a body surface and into a target blood vessel, for example a varicose vein. Further included is a manual or automatic switch mechanism adapted to enable and disable the power source in response to a predetermined level of compression applied, by means of the probe against the target blood vessel. When the blood vessel is compressed sufficiently to collapse and substantially slow or substantially prevent a flow of blood therethrough, the power source is activated and the vessel is cauterized, leaving the blood vessel in a condition that is resistant to recanalization.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 9, 2004Publication date: March 24, 2005Inventor: Donald Cohen

Patent number: 5643257Abstract: A minimally-invasive surgery apparatus for causing the lumen of a vein to collapse to prevent blood flow through the vein, e.g., a varicose vein or a side branch of the saphenous vein, includes an electrode which is electrically connected to a power source, and the electrode is percutaneously advanced into the vein. Then, the power source is activated to energize the electrode and thus the blood vein until the blood vein sufficiently collapses to block the lumen of the vein. A feedback loop is also provided for sensing electrical impedance of the tissue within the vein being energized and for deenergizing the electrode when the impedance reaches a predetermined value.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 1995Date of Patent: July 1, 1997Assignee: Endovascular, Inc.Inventors: Donald Cohen, Derek J.
