Patent number: 8427774Abstract: A pass-through mechanism that couples a first linear tape library string to a second linear tape library string is maintained. A first robotic assembly associated with the first linear tape library string places a tape from the first linear tape library string into the pass-through mechanism. The pass-through mechanism moves the tape to a position where the tape can be removed by a second robotic assembly associated with the second linear tape library string. The second robotic assembly removes the tape from the pass-through mechanism and places the tape into the second linear tape library string.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 2012Date of Patent: April 23, 2013Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Andrew Stuart Green, Frank Krick, Shawn Michael Nave, Raymond Yardy

Publication number: 20120209269Abstract: A method for treating a fracture with a variable length nail is provided. The nail is configured for at least 5 mm of axial length change in each direction. An incision is made in proximity to a fractured bone and canal is cleared through the center of the bone. The variable length nail is inserted into the canal and a distraction shaft and a housing are secured to separate portions of the fractured bone. The incision is allowed or caused to close. An external adjustment device with at least one rotatable magnet is placed in proximity to the patient's skin. The external adjustment device is operated so that a magnetic field of the at least one rotatable magnet of the external adjustment device causes the rotatable permanent magnet of the variable length nail to rotate, causing either extension or retraction of the distraction shaft relative to the housing.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 10, 2012Publication date: August 16, 2012Applicant: ELLIPSE TECNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Scott Pool, Stuart A.

Patent number: 8108890Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to automatically creating localized menus for interactive media such as, for example, DVD-Video menus, via a menu component comprising references to an instance of menu background data, a menu text template defining text positions and sets of menu texts in different texts. The menu is then derived by processing the menu component. This enables localized menus to be produced more cost-effectively and more quickly than in non-automated prior art methods.Type: GrantFiled: April 20, 2004Date of Patent: January 31, 2012Inventor: Stuart A.

Patent number: 7912351Abstract: Access to an audiovisual product is controlled by obscuring data. Cells 420 of audiovisual data A, B, C are reproduced by a sequence instruction 410 (e.g. a PGC or Program Chain). One such sequence instruction 410a correctly reproduces the audiovisual data A, B, C, but is hidden amongst many other sequence instructions 410b which incorrectly reproduce the sequence of cells 420 (e.g. as BAC, ACB, CAB, etc.).Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2004Date of Patent: March 22, 2011Inventor: Stuart Green

Patent number: 7894157Abstract: An apparatus to generate a spring force increasing in accordance with a quantity of tape media cartridges stored in a deep slot cell. The apparatus may include a deep slot cell, a biasing element including a torsion spring, and an advancement element. The deep slot cell may store one or more cartridges. The biasing element may generate a spring force toward the front of the deep slot cell such that the spring force generated increases in accordance with a number of cartridges stored in the cell. The advancement element may be positioned to apply the spring force to the cartridges, thereby advancing the cartridges toward the front of the deep slot cell.Type: GrantFiled: August 10, 2007Date of Patent: February 22, 2011Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Andrew Stuart Green, Shawn Michael Nave, Raymond Yardy

Publication number: 20100305630Abstract: A first housing 2 includes a first part 4 and a second part 6, both of which comprise PEEK-OPTIMA (Trade Mark) polymer. The two parts 4, 6 are arranged to cooperate so that they can be laser welded and define a hermetically sealed housing 2 which may house electronic (and/or other) components and maintain them in a dry, sealed environment. The housing and contained electronic components may define an implantable device, for example a heart pacemaker, for long term implantation in a human body.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 26, 2008Publication date: December 2, 2010Inventors: Marcus Warwick, Stuart Green, David Hawks
