  • Patent number: 8351325
    Abstract: An International Standards Organization (“OSI”) Layer-2 (“Ethernet”) Pseudo-wire (“OSI Layer-1 type service”) appliance, method, system and hub service is disclosed. The method and system facilitate the rapid deployment of Layer-2 Pseudo-wires over unknown and untrusted Internet Protocol (“IP”) networks. The method and system facilitate the fluid edge of corporate networks and any situation where the Layer-3 network addresses cannot be changed.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20100169366
    Abstract: A system for augmenting data from a source data file with data from a reference database to generate an augmented data file and tracking the augmented data file is provided. The system includes a reference database including at least one reference datum. A handler component is configured to retrieve a source data file including the structured datum. A locator component is configured to locate the structured datum in the source data file; an analyzer component configured to associate the identified structured datum to one reference datum to create an association according to an analyzing strategy. A generating component is configured to generate a hyperlink based upon the association and embeds the generated hyperlink and an identification code in the source file to create and track an augmented data file.

  • Publication number: 20050197582
    Abstract: A method, apparatus, and set of compositions are disclosed for calibrating a bio-photonic scanner. The scanner detects selected molecular structures of tissues, nondestructively, in vivo. The apparatus may include a computer, including processor and memory connecting to the scanner, including an illuminator to direct light nondestructively onto tissue in vivo, a detector to detect an intensity of a radiant response of the tissue to the light, and a probe to direct light onto the subject and receive a radiant response back into the detector. The apparatus is calibrated using a synthetic material to mimic the radiant response of live tissue, correcting for background fluorescence and elastic scattering. Dopants in a matrix of synthetic material mimic selected molecular structures of tissue. Matrix materials include a dilatant compound, and dopants include biological materials as well as K-type polarizing film powdered and mixed.

  • Publication number: 20050197581
    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, and compositions calibrate a bio-photonic scanner detecting selected molecular structures of tissues, nondestructively, in vivo. The apparatus may include a processor, memory, and scanner. The scanner directs light nondestructively onto tissue in vivo, then receives back a radiant response through a system of mirrors and lenses back into the detector. Software for controlling the scanner and processing its output may be calibrated using a synthetic material to mimic the radiant response of tissue. Calibration may account for background fluorescence and elastic scattering, mimicking skin tissue materials having substantially no Raman scattering response of interest. Dopants may be added to the matrix of white scan material to mimic selected molecular structures in tissue. Matrix materials include a dilatant compound, and dopants include biological materials as well as K-type polarizing film and other materials.
