Abstract: A microstructured electrode array comprising a base (12) with a plurality of groups of probes (14) formed thereon, each group (13) of probes having a conductive layer formed thereon so that the group (13) forms a single electrode, wherein the electrodes are electrically isolated from each other.

Abstract: A method, apparatus and software is disclosed for controlling the heading of an aircraft travelling on the ground in which veering is detected and compensatory steering commands generated so as to automatically maintain a reference heading.

Abstract: A carotid intervention guiding catheter (sheath) including a central lumen adapted to receive a therapeutic catheter and stent delivery catheter. The catheter includes a soft tip adapted to lodge in the common carotid artery. The distal body of the guiding catheter includes a mechanism to fixate the catheter to the wall of the aorta to prevent sliding of the guiding catheter in and out of the common carotid artery. The mechanism is a collapsible set of wings that come out of the wall of the catheter using a mechanical switch outside the body that deploys the wings and fixate the catheter to the wall of the descending or transverse aorta. The same mechanical switch allows the wings to collapse into the wall of the guiding catheter and allow the catheter to be retrieved out of the body.

Abstract: Data is collected relating to the availability of a computing resource such as data identifying a start event that indicates that the computing resource became available for use and data identifying a stop event that indicates that the computing resource became unavailable for use. The data relating to the availability of the computing resource is processed to determine the outage time for the computing resource during a period of time, such as a 24-hour period. The outage time is then utilized to calculate the level of availability for the computing resource during the period of time.

Abstract: A set of possible device IP addresses is determined. The list of IP devices is pinged and split into responsive and unresponsive devices. The responsive devices are scanned to determine which provide administrative access rights. Of those devices that provide administrative access, the devices are further separated into managed and unmanaged devices. The unmanaged devices are scanned for specific software and services, including if those software and services are the most current or up-to-date versions. An administrator may then be presented with a network report based on the scan at the level of detail desired by the user.

Abstract: In one aspect, a method of instructing users in the implementation of a patch management process is provided. The patch management process relates to the installation of a software patch in a computer system. The method comprises an act of providing instructions that describe the patch management process in a hierarchical manner so that the patch management process is described as comprising a plurality of top-level activities, with each of the plurality of top-level activities being described as comprising at least one sub-action, the instructions describing trigger events that result in transitions between the top-level activities. In another aspect, a method includes following the instructions that describe the patch management process.

Abstract: On-chip integrated detector for analyzing fluids, comprising insulating material partly enclosing a cavity for accommodating an analyte, said cavity being defined at the bottom and at least partly at its sides by said insulating material, and a gateless field effect transistor (FET) formed in a distance from the bottom of the cavity, the sensing surface of which is facing the analyte.
