  • Publication number: 20150094945
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for generating a representation of a vehicle path for display via a computer is disclosed, which involves receiving start location information including a start location and an initial orientation of the vehicle and end location information including a desired end location of the vehicle, and receiving a selection of a vehicle defined by parameters that define a turning behaviour of the vehicle. The method involves receiving constraint information identifying at least one constraint to passage of the vehicle between the start and end locations and causing a processor circuit to generate a vehicle path for travel between the start and end locations, the vehicle path based on the turning behaviour of the vehicle and being generated such that the vehicle path remains within the at least one constraint.

  • Publication number: 20150082027
    Abstract: The present invention provides a DRM method and system for supporting offline sharing of digital resources. When a client applies for joining in a domain, the client sends its own device information to a server, and obtains feature data of the domain by receiving a sharing certificate sent by the server. Wherein, the sharing certificate is created by encrypting the feature data of the domain by using the equipment information of the client as a cipher. The client decrypts the sharing certificate by using its own equipment information to obtain the feature data. Since the feature data has already been obtained in the procedure of applying for joining the domain, a client is able to use the digital resources by using the feature data even if the client cannot connect to network, thus, an advantage of supporting offline sharing of digital resources is achieved.

  • Publication number: 20150046797
    Abstract: Document format processing apparatus and document format processing method are provided. The apparatus comprising: an obtaining unit for obtaining element information of a document in a first format; a parsing unit, for parsing the element information to get source data information; a conversion unit for converting the source data information to target data information of the document in a second format; a document processing unit for processing the target data information. Thus, when a document in an unsupported format is processed, what is only needed is to convert the format of source data contained in the document to a target data format, rather than thoroughly developing of the existing document processing editor, and thus complexity may be reduced; meanwhile, because it is not necessary to convert a document format using other format conversion tool, implementation cost and time consumed may be reduced.

  • Patent number: 8901190
    Abstract: A method for modifying the refractive index of an optical, hydrogel polymeric material. The method comprises irradiating predetermined regions of an optical, polymeric material with a laser to form refractive structures. To facilitate the formation of the refractive structures the optical, hydrogel polymeric material comprises a photosensitizer. The presence of the photosensitizer permits one to set a scan rate to a value that is at least fifty times greater than a scan rate without the photosensitizer in the material, yet provides similar refractive structures in terms of the observed change in refractive index. Alternatively, the photosensitizer in the polymeric material permits one to set an average laser power to a value that is at least two times less than an average laser power without the photosensitizer in the material, yet provide similar refractive structures.

  • Patent number: 8894570
    Abstract: A video laryngoscope has a handle and a groove on one side of the handle. The groove is used for guiding a guide wire when the larynogoscope is placed in a patient's mouth. A video camera located near the end of the handle is used to view the area around the glottis. When the guide wire is properly positioned near the glottis, the upper part of the guide wire is disengaged from the groove so as to allow an endotracheal tube to be slipped over the guide wire and to be inserted into part of the trachea through the glottis. When the tube is properly inserted for intubation, the guide wire is removed from the tube. An illuminating light source such as an LED lamp can be installed at the end of the handle to provide illumination for the video camera.

  • Patent number: 8890058
    Abstract: The present invention provides a mass spectrometer having an ion lens capable of transporting an ion having a large mass to charge ratio with a high level of ion-passing efficiency even under a low-vacuum atmosphere. In conventional atmospheric pressure ionization mass spectrometers or similar mass spectrometers, applying an excessively high voltage to the ion lens undesirably causes an electric discharge. Therefore, the passing efficiency for an ion having a large mass to charge ratio cannot be adequately improved, which leads to a poor detection sensitivity. To solve this problem, the mass spectrometer according to the present invention includes a voltage controller 21 that controls a variable radiofrequency (RF) voltage generator 24 so that both the amplitude and the frequency of the RF voltage applied to the lens electrodes of an ion lens 5 are changed according to the mass to charge ratio of an ion to be analyzed.

  • Publication number: 20140269658
    Abstract: Systems and methods share context information on a neighbor aware network. In one aspect, a context providing device receives a plurality of responses to a discovery query from a context consuming device, and tailors services it offers to the context consuming device based on the responses. In another aspect, a context providing device indicates in its response to a discovery query which services or local context information it can provide to the context consuming device, and also a cost associated with providing the service or the local context information. In some aspects, the cost is in units of monetary currency. In other aspects, the cost is in units of user interface display made available to an entity associated with the context providing device in exchange for the services or local context information offered to the context consuming device.
