Patent number: 8878708Abstract: Improved systems and methods for processing and recording audio received from one or more wired or wireless devices. In one aspect, the dynamic range of an analog-to-digital conversion system is extended. In another aspect, processes for generating a timecode, displaying and/or freezing a timecode display, and displaying an electronic timecode slate. Displaying a timecode slate may include rotating the orientation of the timecode display one hundred and eighty degrees to allow the timecode display to appear upright to individuals and/or equipment viewing and/or recording same. Displaying a timecode slate may also include an audible tone for synchronization of audio and video recordings.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 2012Date of Patent: November 4, 2014Assignee: Zaxcom, Inc.Inventors: Glenn Norman Sanders, Howard Glenn Stark

Patent number: 8842854Abstract: Systems and methods for wirelessly recording multi-track audio files without the data corruption or loss of data that typically occurs with wireless data transmission. In some aspects, each performer is equipped with a local audio device capable of locally recording the respective performer's audio while also transmitting it to a master recorder. Functions of the local audio device may be adjusted remotely. The locally recorded audio may be used to repair or replace any audio lost or corrupted during transmission to the master recorder. Such repair or replacement may be performed electronically or via playback of the locally recorded audio. In other aspects, a master recorder is not required since all locally recorded audio may be combined or otherwise processed post-recording. Locally recorded audio may include identifiers to aid in post-recording identification of such audio. A multi-memory unit is also provided to facilitate manipulation and processing of audio files.Type: GrantFiled: July 16, 2010Date of Patent: September 23, 2014Assignee: Zaxcom, Inc.Inventors: Glenn Norman Sanders, Howard Glenn Stark

Patent number: 8797396Abstract: Provided herein are systems methods including a design of a microscope slide scanner for digital pathology applications which provides high quality images and automated batch-mode operation at low cost. The instrument architecture is advantageously based on a convergence of high performance, yet low cost, computing technologies, interfaces and software standards to enable high quality digital microscopy at very low cost. Also provided is a method based in part on a stitching method that allows for dividing an image into a number of overlapping tiles and reconstituting the image with a magnification without substantial loss of accuracy. A scanner is employed in capturing snapshot images. The method allows for overlapping images captured in consecutive snapshots.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2011Date of Patent: August 5, 2014Assignee: Ventana Medical Systems, Inc.Inventors: Lou Dietz, Kurt Kuhlmann, Christopher Todd, Glenn Stark, Barry Rodriguez, Gregory Loney

Publication number: 20140204196Abstract: Systems and techniques for an optical scanning microscope and/or other appropriate imaging system includes components for scanning and collecting focused images of a tissue sample and/or other object disposed on a slide. The focusing system described herein provides for determining best focus for each snapshot as a snapshot is captured, which may be referred to as “on-the-fly focusing.” Best focus may be determined using an error function generated according to movement of a dither focusing lens. The devices and techniques provided herein lead to significant reductions in the time required for forming a digital image of an area in a pathology slide and provide for the creation of high quality digital images of a specimen at high throughput.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 21, 2012Publication date: July 24, 2014Applicant: VENTANA MEDICAL SYSTEMS, INC.Inventors: Gregory C.

Patent number: 8708554Abstract: A leak detection apparatus for aircraft bleed air systems includes a supporting spacer positioned within the shroud and supported upon the bleed air duct of the aircraft. A sleeve supported on the exterior of the shroud further supports a plenum having generally cylindrical sensor tubes through which sensor wire sets pass. A director positioned within the shroud above the bleed air duct is coupled to a generally cylindrical accumulator which in turn is in communication with the plenum. Appropriate apertures are provided to vent and direct bleed air from the shroud interior to the sensor wire sets and thereafter vent outwardly into cooler ambient air. The sensor wire sets respond to the temperature of the bleed air leakage to trigger alarm apparatus.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 2011Date of Patent: April 29, 2014Assignee: Arrowhead Products CorporationInventors: William W. Thompson, Allen W. Harwood, Glenn Stark

Patent number: 7092029Abstract: An image sensor acquires a preparatory image that is lighted for a predetermined preparatory duration by a strobe. The preparatory image data corresponding to the preparatory image from the image sensor is processed and an average preparatory image luminance is determined based on the preparatory image data and weighting at least a subset of the preparatory image data. A supplemental strobe duration is generated based on the average preparatory image luminance and luminance weightings. The electronic image sensor may be activated to acquire an image with supplemental light provided by the supplemental strobe duration.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2001Date of Patent: August 15, 2006Assignee: ESS Technology, Inc.Inventors: Robert A.
