Patent number: 10299735Abstract: A front-end system collects diagnostically relevant information or data, including pulse waveform information, and optionally timing information, symptom information, and/or diagnostic information. One or more sensors or transducers detect pulse waveforms in a consistent manner, across various subjects and practitioners. A back-end system stores diagnostically relevant information and diagnostic information, typically for a large population of subjects and practitioners. The back-end system generates system generated diagnoses and/or suggested remedial actions based on submitted inquiries or requests. The back-end system can advantageously employ machine learning techniques to identify correlations between defining characteristics or features of pulse waveforms and diagnoses, over a large number of samples submitted by a substantial number of practitioners, for instance of traditional Chinese medicine. The back-end system can also employ primary and/or secondary symptoms in identifying correlations.Type: GrantFiled: August 21, 2015Date of Patent: May 28, 2019Inventors: Thomas Adrian Furness, III, Ross Melville, Robert Doane, Brian Pal

Publication number: 20110131121Abstract: A refinancing program for an underwater loan is disclosed. In particular embodiments, a method for refinancing a loan includes determining an original loan value, wherein the original loan value is associated with an original loan secured by a property having a current property value that is less than the original loan value. The method also includes calculating, with a processor, a conforming loan value based, at least in part, on the current property value, wherein the conforming loan value is associated with a conforming loan and the conforming loan value is less than the current property value. The method also includes calculating a shared appreciation mortgage (SAM) loan value based on a numerical difference between the conforming loan value and the original loan value.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 30, 2009Publication date: June 2, 2011Applicant: Bank of America CorporationInventors: Theresa Lynn Hagman, Jason Lawrence Thalken, Thomas Adrian

Publication number: 20090211225Abstract: The thrust of a rocket motor can be varied to optimize Nozzle Pressure Ratio (NPR) using a design that allows for adjusting the relative position of a plug and a combustion chamber exit. The plug or the exit may be attached to an adaptive control system for position modification. The relative position of the plug and exit may be adjusted to optimize NPR to account for changing propellant flow and/or changing ambient pressure.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 29, 2007Publication date: August 27, 2009Applicant: GHKN Engineering, LLCInventors: Donald Gerrit Nyberg, Thomas Adrian Groudle, Richard Doyle Smith, John A.

Patent number: 7565797Abstract: The thrust of a rocket motor can be varied while maintaining efficiency over a range of pressure ratios using a design that allows for changing the relative position of a plug and a combustion chamber exit. The plug or the chamber exit may be attached to an adaptive control system for position modification. The plug may be positioned in a plug nozzle configuration or in an expansion-deflection (ED) configuration. In either configuration, the elongated downstream portion of the plug allows for efficiency over a wide range of pressure ratios, while ability to change plug position with respect to the chamber exit allows adjustment of rocket thrust.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 2005Date of Patent: July 28, 2009Assignee: GHKN Engineering LLCInventors: Donald Gerrit Nyberg, Thomas Adrian Groudle, Richard Doyle Smith

Patent number: 6639570Abstract: A scanning display produces an image having a plurality of image sectors for viewing by an eye. A first beam set is directed along a first beam path and modulated according to a first of the image sectors. A second beam set is directed along a second beam path and modulated according to a second of the image sectors. A biaxial scanning device receives the first beam set and the second beam set, and scans light from the first beam set along two axes toward a first region of a display field to produce the first image sector, and concurrently scans light from the second beam set along two axes toward a second region of the display field to produce the second image sector. The first region and second region are adjacent, substantially non-overlapping regions of the display field. The image is scanned within the display field.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2001Date of Patent: October 28, 2003Assignee: University of WashingtonInventors: Thomas Adrian Furness, III, Joel S. Kollin
