Abstract: A debris collection and metrology system for collecting and analyzing debris from a tip used in nanomachining processes, the system including an irradiation source, an irradiation detector, an actuator, and a controller. The irradiation source is operable to direct incident irradiation onto the tip, and the irradiation detector is operable to receive a sample irradiation from the tip, the sample irradiation being generated as a result of the direct incident irradiation being applied onto the tip. The controller is operatively coupled to an actuator system and the irradiation detector, and the controller is operable to receive a first signal based on a first response of the irradiation detector to the sample irradiation, and the controller is operable to effect relative motion between the tip and at least one of the irradiation source and the irradiation detector based on the first signal.

Abstract: An electronic device for managing notifications for a caregiver associated with multiple healthcare facilities is described. The electronic device connects to an active site associated with a first healthcare facility, connects to a passive site associated with a second healthcare facility, receives the notifications from both the active site and the passive site, and switches the passive site to active upon receipt of an input from the caregiver to access the notifications from the passive site.

Abstract: A technique and device (12) may be utilized to determine a characteristic of a crystallographic texture of a sample (10) based on a detected ultrasonic waveform. The device may be configured to receive ultrasonic waveform data representative of a reflected ultrasonic waveform that propagated through a sample from an ultrasonic detector (14). The device may select a portion of the ultrasonic waveform data and apply a Fast Fourier Transform to the portion of the ultrasonic waveform data to transform the portion from a time domain to a frequency domain. The device then may identify a dominant frequency (98) of the portion in the frequency domain and determine a characteristic of a crystallographic texture for the portion based on the dominant frequency of the portion.

Abstract: A telecommunications network for a high-rise Multi-Dwelling Unit (MDU) is provided. In the telecommunications network eliminates much of the wiring and space required for voice, video and data services, electrical closets, security cameras, building automation, fire annunciation systems, hard-wired smoke detectors, hard-wired heat detectors, electrical meters through the use of an integrated Ethernet communication system. Additionally, a video program guide (VPG) is provided that allows a user to interact with multiple streams of video in real time. The VPG includes techniques for displaying multiple streams of data on a single screen for a user.

Abstract: A technique is presented for determining coordinates of a region within a web page or other window is viewable to a user. A minimum bounding rectangle is defined for the viewable area of a viewport into the web page or other window, by defining one corner at (min(X), min(Y)) and a second corner at (max(X), max(Y)). Information about the minimum bounding rectangle may be presented to the advertisement. The advertisement may then reformat itself, such as by resizing the advertisement or by rearranging the contents of the advertisement to ensure important areas are inside the minimum bounding rectangle.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for identifying devices using a bitmap are disclosed. In one embodiment, the method comprises: accessing a memory to obtain one or more bitmaps that map each bit location in the bitmap to an index value, where one index value is assigned to each remote wireless media device of a wireless network in a wireless communication system; and examining those bitmaps and determining at least one characteristic of a remote wireless media device and a device identifier that identifies the remote wireless media device in the wireless network based on the bit position in those bitmaps.

Abstract: The present invention relates to compounds of Formula (I): and to their salts, pharmaceutical compositions, methods of use, and methods for their preparation. These compounds inhibit Bcl-2 and/or Bcl-XL activities and may be used for the treatment of cancer.

Abstract: An apparatus, system and method for performing dispatch operations using a signal physical interface are disclosed. In one embodiment, the apparatus is for use in a wireless communication system for communicating with a wireless network and comprises a host processor, a transceiver, a physical interface coupling the host processor and the transceiver, and a memory accessible by the host processor and the transceiver to exchange information between the host processor and the transceiver. The transceiver is operable to store data in the memory for the host processor to send data to the host processor using the memory and asserts a control signal to the host processor to notify the host processor that the memory contains data for the host processor, and the host processor is operable to access the memory to obtain the data thereafter.

Abstract: A method and apparatus provides for multiparty participation and management in text messaging sessions. The method includes a server establishing a text messaging session, which establishes a media path for exchanging text messages between a caller device and a single device having a device identifier known to the caller device, wherein the session is established in response to a call from the caller device. The server further joins multiple responding devices to the text messaging session, receives text messages from the multiple responding devices, and sends, over the media path to the caller device, a set of text messages based on the text messages received from the multiple responding devices.
