  • Method and apparatus for managing use of location determination
    Patent number: 9326096
    Abstract: A method and apparatus to help detect that a particular location determination process is unreliable and to help exclude location fixes established with that location determination process from being used as a basis to provide a location-based service. In accordance with the disclosure, a server may receive at least three location fixes for a mobile station, all corresponding with each other in time and each established with a different location determination process, and the server may determine that one of the location fixes is relatively far away from the other location fixes and therefore that the location determination process used to establish that location fix is unreliable. In response to determining that the location determination process is unreliable, the server or another entity may then exclude location fixes established with that location determination process from being used as a basis to provide a location-based service.

  • POST-BIOPSY CAVITY TREATMENT IMPLANTS AND METHODS
    Publication number: 20090149746
    Abstract: A method of forming a soft tissue biopsy cavity marker may include steps of providing a radio-opaque element and a bio-compatible and bio-degradable polymer such as alginate and delivering the provided radio-opaque element and the provided polymer to a biopsy site, such as a breast biopsy site. A gelling initiator that includes divalent cations such as NaCl2 may then be provided and delivered to the biopsy site, causing the previously delivered polymer to gel and to form a soft tissue biopsy marker in situ (within the biopsy site).
