Patent number: 8861677Abstract: A syringe inspection device and method for determining the position of a cannula in a cannula shield attached to a syringe. An electromagnetic radiation emitter is configured to emit electromagnetic radiation having a propagation axis. An electromagnetic radiation detector has an inspection window defined by a beam restrictor. A mount is configured to releasably retain the syringe between the emitter and the detector such that a longitudinal axis of the syringe is substantially coincident with the propagation axis. An image analyzer is operatively coupled to the detector. The image analyzer is configured to produce a syringe rejection signal when the cannula is irradiated and an electromagnetic image in the inspection window has two or less distinctly separate objects based on a contiguity of pixels having substantially like-valued intensity.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 2011Date of Patent: October 14, 2014Assignee: West Pharmaceutical Services, Inc.Inventors: Fred Eric Gray, Justin Miller, Marla Meyer

Patent number: 8711703Abstract: A flow classification process is used at the edge of the shortest path bridging network to determine a flow label for attachment to a client frame entering the network. Any of several flow labels can be assigned to a client frame traversing the network to a particular egress node, and the flow labels are used by forwarding nodes to select among multiple equal-cost paths. In several embodiments, the flow label is calculated as a function of the client frame contents, which provide an entropy source for randomizing the selection of the flow label. This entropy source comprises the Internet Protocol (IP) header in the client frame, in some embodiments, but may comprise other client frame content in other cases.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2011Date of Patent: April 29, 2014Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget L M Ericsson (Publ)Inventors: David Ian Allan, Scott Andrew Mansfield, Eric Gray, János Farkas

Patent number: 8385888Abstract: Mobile devices are authorized to access PBX-based voice services through presentation of audible tones on a voice channel, which are determined based on a code received over a separate data channel. The device can request a code over a data channel from a server in communication with the PBX. The server provides data representative of the code over the data channel to the device, and arranges for local storage of the code. The device makes a connection with the PBX over a separate voice channel. The mobile device presents the received code as a sequence of audio tones (e.g., DTMF tones). The audio tones are used to generate data that can be compared with stored codes by an authentication module. The authorization module can indicate to the PBX that the code is valid; services can be provided by the PBX in response. The valid codes can be maintained, such as by removing used codes from code storage.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2009Date of Patent: February 26, 2013Assignee: Research In Motion LimitedInventors: Christopher Labrador, Alexander Reif, Michael Eric Gray, Douglas Gisby, Colin Mark Werner
