  • Patent number: 11950378
    Abstract: A method for attaching two electronics boards, e.g., a testing PCB and a space transformer, comprises rack welding resin prepreg and a mylar film to a testing PCB; laser drilling via holes in the resin prepreg and mylar film such that the holes are aligned on one side of the resin prepreg with connection/capture pads on the testing PCB and aligned (after attachment) on the other side of the resin prepreg with connection capture pads on a space transformer, filling the via holes with sintering paste; applying a pressure treatment to remove air, bubbles, and voids from the sintering paste; removing the mylar film; and using a lamination press cycle to attach a space transformer to the resin prepreg.

  • Patent number: 11592453
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method of providing a metabololipidomic profile and SPM signature on the progress of the innate host defense response following blood clotting. The method can include the step of taking one or more measurements in a patient's blood sample, wherein the sample is obtained during the time-course of clotting or coagulation or following clotting or coagulation, of pro-thrombotic and pro-inflammatory mediators (eicosanoids) and specialized pro-resolving mediators SPMs. From these measurements, a personalized metabololipidomic profile can be obtained. By comparing the measurement to that taken from normal or reference blood, a comparison profile can be developed. The profile comparison profile can then be used to make a medical or therapeutic decision.

  • Patent number: 9591972
    Abstract: Method and apparatuses are described to evaluate a state of health of a coronary artery. Vibrational cardiac data from a transducer is received from a first location. The transducer measures vibration of a surface of a human's body non-invasively. The vibrational cardiac data is processed in a second location to create processed vibrational cardiac data. The processing includes separating an unwanted coronary event from the vibrational cardiac data. The processing further includes performing a time-to-frequency transformation on the vibrational cardiac data from a portion of a diastolic interval within a heart cycle to obtain a vibrational frequency power spectrum estimate. The processing includes evaluating a state of health of the coronary artery using the processed vibrational cardiac data.

  • Patent number: 8961427
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are described to obtain cardiac data, which includes acquiring vibrational field cardiac data from a transducer wherein the transducer measures vibration over a surface of a human's body. An unwanted coronary event is separated from vibrational cardiac data. A transient event is extracted from the vibrational cardiac heart cycle data. The transient event occurs during a diastolic interval within a heart cycle. The transient event is evaluated for a condition of coronary artery blood flow turbulence and a condition of health of a coronary artery is assessed from a feature in the vibrational frequency power spectrum estimate.

  • Patent number: 8419651
    Abstract: A method includes acquiring vibrational cardiac data from an array of N transducers wherein the transducers are coupled to a human. A master replica is selected from a segment of the vibrational cardiac data. The master replica is correlated with the segment to obtain a plurality of local maxima. Vibrational cardiac data that were emitted during a diastolic interval are extracted from each heart cycle with the aid of the plurality of local maxima. A two-dimensional space-time frequency power spectrum is processed for Equivalent Rectangular Bandwidth, which provides estimates of the energy produced by turbulent blood flow through a coronary stenosis.

  • Publication number: 20120036050
    Abstract: Low-income housing projects generate federal low-income housing tax credits. Previously, due to numerous impediments, investing in tax credits results in a negative, or at best a neutral effect on the investor's EBITDA for financial accounting purposes. The present invention relates a method that allows for a more efficient syndication of the available tax credits that generates positive EBITDA to investors at a lower cost.
