Publication number: 20160107084Abstract: Snapwin is a mobile app game. The game is related to a method for managing a contest with a processing or mobile device. Players may be searched in the mobile device's address book, through Facebook's API, Random selection from the user's Data Base or searching by username. The game creator may erase a player to substitute him in case he invited him by mistake or the player does not answer the request. Once all the players accept the invitation to the game the server creates a new game and selects a plurality of words from the data base to form a new game. These words may refer to a noun, action, verb, emotion, advertised words or whatever that can be captured and will appear in the home screen as a new game in which all the involved players must then take a photo related to that word and submit it. The player that is first to take all the photos without getting any revoked wins the game.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 17, 2014Publication date: April 21, 2016Inventors: Manuel Hernandez Kuri, Luis Hernandez Kuri

Publication number: 20150297101Abstract: Example apparatus and methods perform magnetic resonance fingerprinting (MRF) for arterial spin labeling (ASL) based parameter quantification. ASL with MRF produces a nuclear magnetic resonance signal time course from which simultaneous quantification of ASL perfusion-related parameters can be achieved. The parameters may include cerebral blood flow, transit time, T1, or other parameters. The quantification uses values from a dictionary of signal time courses that were generated or augmented using Bloch simulation, knowledge of the sequence, or previous observations. The dictionary may account for inflow or outflow of labeled spins and may model arterial input. An ASL-MRF pulse sequence may differ from conventional pulse sequences. For example, an ASL-MRF pulse sequence may include non-uniform control pulses, non-uniform label pulses, non-uniform post labeling delay time, non-uniform background suppression pulses, non-uniform acquisition repetition time, or non-uniform acquisition flip angle.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 20, 2015Publication date: October 22, 2015Inventors: Luis Hernandez-Garcia, Mark Griswold, Dan Ma, Vikas Gulani, Katherine L.

Publication number: 20150217059Abstract: Although injection molding includes extreme conditions, an RFID device may be over-molded by injection molding. A syringe includes a barrel having a first and second axial ends, the barrel defining a cavity therein; a plunger configured to be received in the cavity and define with the barrel a chamber for holding a fluid, the plunger being axially moveable within the barrel for increasing and decreasing the volume of the chamber thereby respectively forcing fluid into or out of the chamber; and a plunger seal, also known as a “syringe stopper” for sealing between the plunger and the barrel, the plunger seal including an RFID device for identifying the syringe.

Publication number: 20140364679Abstract: An improved apparatus is provided for transcranial magnetic stimulation in a brain of a subject. The apparatus is comprised of: a plurality of coils electrically connected in series to each other; and a single source of current electrically coupled to one of the plurality of coils. Each coil may include one or more windings of similar dimensions although the size of the windings varies between coils. Each of the coils is further dimensioned to stimulate brain tissue at a given distance while minimizing volume of the brain tissue excited by the magnetic field. During operation, the current source injects time varying current into the coils to create a magnetic field which in turn induces electric fields and eddy-currents inside the brain tissue of the subject.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 5, 2012Publication date: December 11, 2014Applicant: THE REGENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGANInventors: Luis Hernandez-Garcia, Anthony Grbic, Eric Michielssen, Luis Gomez
