  • Publication number: 20240093634
    Abstract: A vehicle includes a component coated with a pollutant reduction catalyst configured to remove pollutants from a flow of air over the component, a catalyst temperature sensor coupled to the component, a general temperature sensor, a vehicle speed sensor, and an active grille shutter (AGS) system having a plurality of movable grille shutters. A controller is configured to determine an efficiency of the pollutant reduction catalyst based on signals from the catalyst temperature sensor, the general temperature sensor, the vehicle speed sensor, and the AGS system.

  • Publication number: 20130006867
    Abstract: The description relates to secure patient information handling. One example can receive encrypted patient data from a first entity. The example can receive a request to view the encrypted patient data from a second entity. The request can include a conditional access code and the example can validate the conditional access code. In an instance where the conditional access code is valid, the example can retrieve an encryption key for the encrypted patient data. The example can decrypt at least a portion of the encrypted patient data to produce decrypted patient data. The example can provide at least some of the decrypted patient data to the second entity.

  • Publication number: 20120166462
    Abstract: The present discussion relates to automated image data processing and visualization. One example can facilitate generating a graphical user-interface (GUI) from image data that includes multiple semantically-labeled user-selectable anatomical structures. This example can receive a user selection of an individual semantically-labeled user-selectable anatomical structure. The example can locate a sub-set of the image data associated with the individual semantically-labeled user-selectable anatomical structure and can cause presentation of the sub-set of the image data on a subsequent GUI.

  • Patent number: 7639403
    Abstract: An improved method and system for connecting Super Group 3 fax machines over network gateways that operate using the un-enhanced T.38 protocol. With the present invention, the CM tone is suppressed. Thus a gateway that generates an AnsAm tone, will not receive a CM tone in response. The T.38 protocol does not specify what occurs if a CM tone is not received; however, it has been found that, in practice, existing fax machines fall back to V.21 mode if a CM tone is not received.

  • Patent number: 7623273
    Abstract: A method and system for connecting V.34 enabled fax machines (that is fax machines capable of operating at 33,600 bps) over network gateways that use the un-enhanced T.38 protocol, that is, gateways that have not been upgraded to handle the V.34 33,600 bps protocol in fax relay mode. When a gateway detects a V.8 protocol signal, the signal is modified so that the fax machines fall back to non V.34 protocol and operate at a slower speed which the un-enhanced T.38 gateway is capable of handling.

  • Patent number: 7454705
    Abstract: Visualizing Internet web traffic is disclosed. In one embodiment, a number of windows are displayed, corresponding to a number of clusters into which users have been partitioned based on similar web browsing behavior. The windows are ordered from the cluster having the greatest number of users to the cluster having the least number of users. Each window has one or more rows, where each row corresponds to a user within the cluster. Each row has an ordered number of visible units, such as blocks, where each block corresponds to a web page visited by the user. The blocks can be color coded by the type of web page they represent. In one embodiment, the corresponding cluster models for the clusters are alternatively displayed in the windows.

  • Patent number: 6314679
    Abstract: A planting tray for discharging many sproutlings simultaneously onto a permanent growing bed. The tray comprises a peripheral rectangular frame which slidably supports a floor panel. A flexible web attaches to the front of the frame by a clamp, extends over the floor panel, around the rear edge of the floor panel, and extends along the bottom of the floor panel back to the front of the frame. When the free end of the web is pulled, the floor panel is ejected to the front of the frame in parbuckle fashion. The sproutlings are thereby discharged onto the growing bed. The floor panel preferably has a roller disposed along its rear edge to avoid binding on the web when the web is pulled. The frame has two cable handles.

  • Patent number: 6123666
    Abstract: A laryngoscope equipped with a fiberoptic scope for enabling simultaneous remote observation of the airway and associated structures during insertion of the laryngoscope blade. The laryngoscope includes a blade member configured for attachment to a handle, a conduit positioned adjacent the blade member for housing a fiberoptic scope. The fiberoptic scope includes fibers for illuminating an area adjacent a distal end of the blade and viewing fibers for transmitting a visual image of the illuminated area to a remote viewing system. A clear cap is provided for the end of the conduit to protect the fiberoptic scope from patient secretions.
