  • Publication number: 20150233884
    Abstract: An automated microprocessor-controlled monitoring system for the sampling and analysis of environmental contamination has independent multiple sample chambers 47, 48. The sample chambers are populated with multiple analytical sensors 59, 60, 61, Multiple water level sensors 49, 50, 135 located in the sample chambers are capable of determining the volume of sample, or standard, introduced into the individual sample chambers. The monitoring system is standardized with independent calibration modules 7L 80, 89 to support the analytical sensors in the sample chambers. This configuration of a monitoring system allows a “plug and play” configuration with all analytical sensors capable of standardization. The system anticipates the incorporation of future sensing methodologies through its flexible design.

  • Publication number: 20130347019
    Abstract: A process for verifying the playback of media content on a display includes receiving a digital representation of at least a portion of media content playing on the display, comparing the received digital representation to media content that was scheduled to play on the display from which the digital representation was captured and verifying the playback of the received digital representation if the received digital representation matches the compared media content. The process can further include soliciting a viewer of the display to capture a digital representation of at least a portion of the media content being presented on the display and to communicate the captured digital representation to an advertised location.

  • Patent number: 8584180
    Abstract: A system and method for resource sharing are provided. The method includes storing an electronic programming guide (EPG) application and an EPG, determining when local memory of a local video device lacks capacity to download additional time of the EPG, and communicating with another device to transmit a resource request to the other device to download the additional time of the EPG to storage in the other device. The method also includes processing for display monitoring data that indicates remaining storage space in the storage of the other device, querying the other device to determine what programming is being viewed, and processing controls included in the EPG application that enable access to the storage of the other device to interact with the EPG stored on the other device through the local video device to schedule a programming event at the local video device.

  • Publication number: 20130250171
    Abstract: A method and means for selectively interrupting HDMI CEC broadcast messages include the electrical connection of the connectors of a male HDMI connector with respective connections of a female HDMI connector to form a pass through connector with the exception of a CEC line, which is disconnected. The method and means are such that the CEC line can be controllably connected and disconnected via, for example, a controllable circuit board. The circuit board can be programmed to block selected CEC commands by controllably connecting and disconnecting a respective CEC line in response to a CEC command.

  • Publication number: 20130178891
    Abstract: Embolic protection elements are integrated with a catheter or access sheath for any catheter. A catheter with an integrated embolic protection element comprises a catheter shaft, an embolic filter slidably mounted on a distal portion of the shaft, a proximal stop for limiting the proximal movement of the embolic filter, and a distal stop for limiting the distal movement of the embolic filter. The filter comprises a porous mesh material defining a collection chamber for captured emboli and has a collapsed and a deployed configuration. The filter may be collapsed by an access sheath used with the catheter. An access sheath may comprise a tubular main body and an embolic filter mounted on the distal portion of the tubular main body. The embolic filter may evert into the central lumen of the sheath or may be constrained on the exterior of the sheath with a larger diameter outer tube.

  • Patent number: 8377515
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an improved method for making sulfonated block copolymers and to methods for making membranes from such block copolymers. In particular, the present invention relates to an improved method for making sulfonated block copolymers having at least two polymer end blocks that are resistant to sulfonation and at least one polymer interior block that is susceptible to sulfonation where the sulfonation agent is C2 to C8 acyl sulfate. In the improved process the residual carboxylic acid formed from the C2 to C8 acyl sulfate is converted to C1 to C4 alkyl esters by contacting the residual carboxylic acid with at least a 0.9:1 molar ratio of a C1 to C4 alcohol to residual carboxylic acid, resulting in an improved sulfonated block copolymer solution. The present invention further relates to the use of such sulfonated block copolymer solutions to prepare various membranes and other articles.
