  • Publication number: 20150302492
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and products track equipment used during surgical procedures. An allowable zone associated with a surgical procedure is identified. The allowable zone determines where surgical items may be used during the procedure. A location of a surgical item is determined. When the location is outside the allowable zone, an alarm is triggered to indicate the surgical item is moving outside the allowable zone towards an area in which the surgical item may not be used.

  • Publication number: 20150095786
    Abstract: Devices and systems are provided for controlling electronic devices using a mobile remote control device. A mobile remote control device provides an interface to control a plurality of electronic devices. The mobile device has a unique identifier, and the electronic device transmits a presentation of a remote control to the mobile device. A user of the mobile device controls the electronic device by operating the “virtual” remote control displayed on the mobile device. The user may further define his or her custom remote control. The user may define batches of commands, or “macros” that transmit a specific series of commands to one or more electronic devices. Proximity and motion of a mobile device may be used as an input, such that the electronic devices are programmed to react in specific ways depending upon the position and movement of the user of the mobile device.

  • Publication number: 20140239811
    Abstract: Mechanisms for light management include a light emitting diode (LED) light bulb. The LED light bulb includes multiple light emitting diodes (LEDs) configured for illumination in the LED light bulb and includes a battery. A base is configured to fit a standard socket designed for an incandescent light bulb, and the base is configured to operatively connect to an electrical power source. A module is operative to detect a residual voltage of the power source when a control for powering the LED light bulb is powered off. The module is configured to determine that a power outage occurred and operative to switch to battery power from the battery in response to not detecting the residual voltage of the power source.

  • Publication number: 20120041964
    Abstract: A method and system for managing access to file system objects enables an application to request access to a file system object via a file system transformer driver, which may extend the capabilities of a file system. The file system transformer driver may be configured to convert a data file format for the file system object to a data format requested by the application. The file system transformer driver may store the file system object in an internal data format using a file system on a storage device. The file system transformer driver may receive requests from applications via an operating system instruction.

  • Patent number: 8037247
    Abstract: Methods, computer program products and systems for providing an upgradeable hard disk. The system includes a plurality of memory card slots and a controller. The controller includes a host interface in communication with a host computer, a memory card interface in communication with one or more memory cards located in one or more of the memory card slots, and a detection mechanism. The detection mechanism monitors the memory card slots for newly added memory cards; and in response to detecting a newly added memory card determines characteristics of the newly added memory card and updates the data placement strategy in response to the characteristics of the newly added memory card. The data placement strategy is utilized by the controller to determine write locations for write data received from the host computer via the host interface.

  • Publication number: 20110045132
    Abstract: A method is provided for producing reduced-fat components that may be used to make reduced and low-fat processed cheese, natural cheese or other reduced and low-fat food products. The reduced-fat flavor components are produced by extraction of fat from full-fat biogenerated cheese flavor components. Alternatively, natural biogenerated cheese flavor components are produced with reduced amounts of fat. Additionally, reduced-fat cheddar cheese can be derived from 1% milk.

  • Patent number: 7533110
    Abstract: A file conversion system includes a filter and conversion tool and an Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) to Extensible Hypertext Markup Language (XHTML) tool. The filter and conversion tool reads a first file comprises a first digital content item and a corresponding first indication of style to be applied to the first digital content item and a second digital content item and a corresponding second indication of style to be applied to the second digital content item. The filter and conversion tool modifies the first file to remove the first digital content item from the first file and converts the modified first file to a second file comprising the second digital content item and a HTML tag based on the second style indication of the first file. The HTML to XHTML tool converts the second file to a third file comprising XHTML tags.
