Abstract: An electronic device may have a display mounted in a housing. The display may have a pixel array that produces images. A display cover layer may overlap the pixel array. The display cover layer may have a planar central area surrounded by a peripheral edge area with a curved cross-sectional profile. From an on-axis viewing angle, an image on the pixel array is fully viewable through the planar central area and the peripheral edge area. From an off-axis viewing angle, the image is partly viewable through the peripheral edge area and not through the central area. To avoid an undesired color cast in the partly viewable image seen through the peripheral edge area of the display cover layer, the display may be provided with color cast compensation structures such as a guest-host liquid crystal layer that exhibits an anisotropic colored light absorption characteristic, a diffuser layer, and/or other optical structures.

Abstract: Described are various embodiments of a digital data comparison filter, system and method, and applications therefor. In one embodiment, a digital data comparator system comprises two or more transformation engines each having securely stored in association therewith a common key, a common designated comparator threshold number, and a respective identifier; and a reconstitution engine operable to access partial encryption information from each transformation engine and, only upon relating to identical digital data, process each partial encryption information to successfully release the identical digital data.

Abstract: A heart valve repair device may include a support configured to extend through a native annulus of a native heart valve, wherein the support comprises an upstream portion and a downstream portion; an annular expandable retainer extending from the upstream portion of the support, and an arm extending from the downstream portion of the support. The annular expandable retainer may include a C-shaped cross-section that is open inwardly. The arm may be configured to reach behind a leaflet of the native heart valve and sandwich the leaflet between the arm and the support.

Abstract: Described are various embodiments of an integrated network appliance and system. In one embodiment, the appliance comprises: a hardware-integrated processing engine operable to implement a trusted network-related resource; an integrated digital data processor operable to execute said processing engine; an integrated data storage resource accessible to said processing engine to implement said trusted network-related resource; an integrated location sensor; and an embedded hardware security module (HSM) hardwired to interface with said hardware-integrated processing engine via a dedicated hardware-isolated communication path, and operable to execute a trusted internal cryptographic process associated with said trusted network-related resource as a function of location data output from said integrated location sensor.

Abstract: A method and system for visually displaying real-time enterprise management information is provided. An application integration platform receives plural types of data from manufacturing and information systems within an enterprise and analyzes the plural types of data to determine key performance indicators, such as a number of tardy jobs. A process control server receives manufacturing data from at least one work center and forwards the manufacturing data to the application integration platform. A user interface that interfaces with the application integration platform provides a visual display of the number of tardy jobs in accordance with the class of user interacting therewith. The user may then reschedule the tardy jobs on alternate machines and determine how such rescheduling will affect the expected completion times of all jobs running on all machines.

Abstract: Systems and methods for visually displaying real-time enterprise management information over all levels of a corporate organizational structure of an enterprise. An application integration platform receives plural types of data from manufacturing and information systems within the enterprise and analyzes the plural types of data to determine key performance indicators. A process control server receives manufacturing data from at least one work center and forwards the manufacturing data to the application integration platform. A database contains information related to manufacturing processes performed at the at least one work center. A graphical user interface that interfaces with the application integration platform to provide a visual display of the key performance indicators in accordance with the class of user interacting therewith. The levels of the corporate organizational structure are modeled as objects having methods and variables.

Abstract: A method and system for visually displaying bottleneck and real-time enterprise management information. An application integration platform receives plural types of data from manufacturing and information systems within an enterprise and analyzes the plural types of data to determine key performance indicators. A process control server receives manufacturing data derived from barcodes and sensors associated with manufacturing machines from at least one work center and forwards the manufacturing data to the application integration platform. A user interface that interfaces with the application integration platform provides a visual display of the key performance indicators and bottlenecks.

Abstract: An ultraviolet (UV) disinfection system and method for treating for treating fluids including a configuration and design to function effectively with at least one UV light source or lamp that is not submerged in the fluid. The UV light source is positioned outside the fluid to be disinfected via exposure to at least one UV dose zone outside the fluid being treated wherein UV light is projected into the at least one dose zone. The UV light source may be presented in a vertical riser configuration, wherein the UV light source is positioned above the fluid to be treated and projecting a UV dose zone downward toward and into the fluid to be treated, with the fluid moving upward toward the UV light source.
