  • Publication number: 20110118823
    Abstract: An endoluminal prosthesis including a radially expandable frame and an anchoring member. The anchoring member includes a first arm attached to a first strut of the frame and a second arm attached to a second adjacent strut of the frame. The first arm is joined to the second arm to form a vessel engaging end that, together with at least a portion of the first arm and second arm, is directed toward a central axis of the frame in the frame's collapsed configuration.

  • Patent number: 7920088
    Abstract: The present invention is a method and apparatus that provides detection, characterization, and intuitive dissemination of targets. This disclosure combines improvements to ultra-wideband (UWB) sensing and machine target characterization with a means to convey data in a format that is quickly and readily understood by practitioners of the technology. The invention is well suited for Situational Awareness (SA) support in areas that are occluded by rain, fog, dust, darkness, distance, foliage, building walls, and any material that can be penetrated by ultra-wideband RF signals. Sense Through The Wall (STTW) performance parameters including target range, stand-off distance, and probability of detection are improved herein by combining a dynamically positioned sliding windowing function with orthogonal feature vectors that include but are not limited to time amplitude decay, spectral composition, and propagation time position in the return signal data.

  • Patent number: 7879280
    Abstract: The invention provides a mold insert system that includes an insert for insertion into an injection mold apparatus and an actuator. The insert includes a movable imprint plate with a predetermined pattern of protrusions configured to form grooves in an article molded by the mold apparatus. The insert also includes a stationary piece with a pattern of slots configured to correspond to the predetermined pattern of protrusions in the imprint plate. The actuator moves the imprint plate from a first position in which the protrusions on the imprint plate do not extend beyond the slots in the stationary piece to a second position in which the protrusions on the imprint plate extend temporarily beyond the slots in the stationary piece. An injection mold apparatus including the mold insert system, as well as a method of making a molded article including the mold insert system are also provided.

  • Publication number: 20100223664
    Abstract: A system described herein includes a receiver component that receives an indication that a user has selected a first selectable buttontab in a toolbar installed in a client application. The system further includes a display component that causes a dashboard to be displayed on a display device in response to receipt of the indication that the user has selected the buttontab. The dashboard includes a content window that displays content and the buttontab, wherein the dashboard is a seamless visual combination of the buttontab and the content window.

  • Patent number: 7739599
    Abstract: Automatic editing of video clips detected during the capture of a video data stream. A media editing application identifies video clips as a function of determined property values of each of a series of video frames included in the video. An edit component automatically edits video clips during the capture of the video data stream. A user interface allows the user to view individual video clips during the video capturing process and to define desired transition effects to apply between successive video clips and/or a desired special effect to apply to selected video clips.

  • Patent number: 7644364
    Abstract: A media editing application for creating and displaying video effect clips. A detection component detects video files stored in a memory of a computer. A user interface displays the detected video files and various video effects that can be applied to video files. The user interface is responsive to a user selecting one or more of the detected video files to apply a selected video effect to the selected video files to create the video effect clip. The user interface is further responsive to user input to display the video effect clip.

  • Publication number: 20090328180
    Abstract: Embodiments provide a security infrastructure that may be configured to run on top of an existing operating system to control what resources can be accessed by an applications and what APIs an application can call. Security decisions are made by taking into account both the current thread's identity and the current thread's call chain context to enable minimal privilege by default. The current thread context is captured and a copy of it is created to be used to perform security checks asynchronously. Every thread in the system has an associated identity. To obtain access to a particular resource, all the callers on the current thread are analyzed to make sure that each caller and thread has access to that resource. Only when each caller and thread has access to that resource is the caller given access to that resource.

  • Publication number: 20080168354
    Abstract: Numerous hardware and software devices provide a text-based command-line interface known as a command-prompt or command shell. These command-line user interfaces only take in text-based input from the user to perform commands and/or interact with the device in some way. For network-enabled devices, these command-line interfaces can be exercised remotely through software viewed on web pages through a web browser via a system where the web page takes the user input, forwards the input to the device, gathers the response from the hardware or software device, and returns the data to the user on the web page. Additionally, the underlying device command function could be emulated and presented via the web page.

  • Patent number: 7388554
    Abstract: A low-cost high performance ultra wideband antenna that combines a plurality of shielded cables with properly selected and carefully positioned load balancing components to form a novel closed loop dipole is disclosed. The apparatus includes a closed-loop broadband antenna circuit that may be comprised of single or multiple conductive radiating elements that are electrically connected to one another at the flare-end of each antenna leaf by at least one shielded conductor in one or more shielded cables of any type. The shielded cable portion of the closed loop circuit may be interrupted by load impedance tapered regions that are positioned in an area that does not interfere or interferes minimally with antenna performance. The closed-loop broadband antenna circuit and the feed-point connections may be grounded by a separate path within the device. The disclosed approach simultaneously mitigates known problems of parasitic side lobes, antenna ringing, and RF coupling that commonly plague prior art.

  • Publication number: 20080120550
    Abstract: Enabling creation of a user-specific storyboard style based on a storyboard edited by a user. Metadata defined by analyzing the editing decisions made by the user and the media content associated with the storyboard represents the user-specific style. The user-specific style may be applied to other media content to produce a fully edited storyboard that matches the style of the example storyboard from which the user-specific style was created. The produced storyboard is combined with the other media content to produce audio/video data for consumption by the user.
