  • Publication number: 20230142249
    Abstract: A nozzle for a laser processing head is provided. The nozzle includes a primary passage disposed in a body of the nozzle. The primary passage is configured to direct a laser beam and a primary fluid from a proximal end of the body to a distal end of the body. The nozzle also includes a set of at least one auxiliary passage disposed in the body of the nozzle and radially offset from a longitudinal axis of the primary passage. A distal portion of the auxiliary passage diverts into two fluid flow passages including (i) a first fluid flow passage configured to direct a first portion of an auxiliary fluid axially forward toward the distal end of the nozzle body, and (ii) a second fluid flow passage configured to direct a second portion of the auxiliary fluid radially inward to mix with the primary fluid in the primary passage.

  • Patent number: 10862751
    Abstract: Described are techniques for determining relevant upgrades for customers. Data storage system configuration information describing existing data storage system configurations for one or more customers is received. One or more service pack documents are received. Each of the one or more service pack documents may include one or more rules denoting data storage system configuration conditions relevant to functionality performed in a software upgrade associated with each service pack document. Analysis is performed, such as by a risk analytic engine, of the data storage system configuration information in accordance with the one or more service pack documents. Processing includes identifying, in accordance with the analysis, which of the one or more service pack documents identify a software upgrade relevant to the data storage system configurations of the customers.

  • Patent number: 8587670
    Abstract: An image capture device is described which is operable in any one of a number of capture modes. The device comprises a camera, a memory and a processor. The memory stores a plurality of sets of capture triggers, with each set of capture triggers being associated with one of the plurality of capture modes. The processor selects one of the plurality of capture modes, such that the device is operable in the selected capture mode. In the selected capture mode, an image is captured automatically when a capture trigger within the associated set of capture triggers is satisfied.

  • Patent number: 8558917
    Abstract: A method of transferring images from a first device to a second device and computer program code for performing this method is described. A connection characteristic for a connection between the first & second devices is determined and at least one image is selected from a plurality of images on the first device for transfer dependent upon both the connection characteristic and image selection criteria. The selected image(s) are then transferred over the connection from the first device to the second device.

  • Patent number: 8527003
    Abstract: A system and apparatus including a wireless network architecture that provides broadband data network coverage over an expandable geographic area. A media access control layer is also provided that facilitates access to the broadband wireless network. A high-frequency wireless modem enables high data rate access to the wireless network in a spectrally-efficient manner using SSB modulation. A wideband millimeter-wave antenna includes a cosecant-squared reflector enabling signal propagation between network elements thereby enabling seamless wireless communications. A millimeter-wave polarizer, and a septum polarizer each convert between linear and circular polarization. A cross-shaped horn antenna adapted for circularly polarized signals can also be used in combination with the septum polarizer. A combined horn antenna is fed using a microstrip patch antenna.

  • Patent number: 8249397
    Abstract: A method of displaying digital images is described in which a display length indicator is received and digital images are accessed. A set of digital images are selected from the accessed digital images in accordance with the display length indicator and displayed in a predetermined order. The method may be performed by a computer program, which may be embodied on a computer readable medium.

  • Publication number: 20120116221
    Abstract: Methods and systems of treating at least one blood vessel involves the application of therapy ultrasound to the blood vessel(s) using one or more dosing conditions. An image of the region of interest is acquired responsive to the applied therapy ultrasound. A change in vascularity of the blood vessel(s) is estimated, responsive to the applied therapy ultrasound, using the acquired image to determine whether to adjust at least one of the dosing conditions. The therapy ultrasound is applied with an intensity to modify the blood vessel(s) without damaging a surrounding tissue. A method of treating a tumor comprises introducing a therapeutic agent into a bloodstream and applying therapy ultrasound to blood vessel(s). The therapy ultrasound, along with an agent, disrupts the blood vessel(s) to limit flow to and from the tumor, thereby retaining the therapeutic agent within the tumor.
