  • Publication number: 20230363733
    Abstract: An imaging system for generating an x-ray image of a subject. The imaging system including an imaging gantry having an x-ray emitter for emitting x-rays through the subject and an x-ray detector for detecting the x-rays that have passed through the subject. The imaging gantry is movable relative to the subject. The imaging system further including a control system configured to provide a user of the imaging system with a quick, easy, and efficient workflow of the imaging system to lead the user through a series of well-defined steps for setting up the imaging system.

  • Publication number: 20230206188
    Abstract: An application server may identify one or more contact identifiers associated with one or more contacts associated with a communication event. The application server may retrieve information associated with the one or more contacts from one or more data sources based on the one or more contact identifiers. The application server may generate, based on the information retrieved from the one or more data sources, a set of contact characteristics for the one or more contacts. The application server may identify one or more actions to be performed via the electronic communication application and associated with the communication event based at least in part on the generated set of contact characteristics and a response status. The application server may transmit, to a user device, an indication of the identified one or more actions.

  • Patent number: 8819954
    Abstract: A tape measure assembly is provided for selectively positioning a marker or a knife adjacent to an end of a tape measure. The assembly includes a tape measure having a housing. A tape is coupled to and positioned in the housing. The tape has a free end extendable from the housing. A tang is coupled to the free end of the tape. An attachment member is selectively couplable to the tang. A tool aperture extends through the attachment member. A tool, either a knife or a writing device, has a first end insertable through the tool aperture. A locking device is coupled to the attachment member and engages the tool when the first end is inserted through the tool aperture.

  • Publication number: 20120215135
    Abstract: A pelvic region analyzer for performs at least one of therapeutic and diagnostic methods. The pelvic region analyzer has a probe for insertion in a pelvic region of a patient. The pelvic region analyzer has a balloon for insertion in the pelvic region and disposed at a distal end of the probe. A sensor is integrated with the probe and disposed at a distal end of the probe. An electronic coupling is coupled to the sensor. The electronic coupling provides pressure information from the sensor. An air tube is connected to the balloon. Air is added and removed from the air tube in accordance with at least one of the therapeutic and diagnostic methods.

  • Publication number: 20070201452
    Abstract: The invention relates to a system enabling IP (internet protocol) services for user terminals based on SIP (session initiation protocol) signaling applicable in fixed and mobile terminals (1) of user (2) provided with means of access to an IP network (5) connected to an IMS network (6) communicating with other terminals (1) of user (2) or other services (3). It comprises a communications interface (15) connecting an application processor (7) with at least one access module (26-34) connected to an SIP signaling module (10) for the interaction of the application processor (7) by means of events with other terminals (1) of user (2) and with services (3). It comprises an event dispatcher module (19) receiving the produced events and in which the processor (7) loads filtration criteria of the events required by each application, to send each received event to the applications (8) requiring it.

  • Publication number: 20020006482
    Abstract: The present invention pertains to a multilayer blown film structure having a blended polypropylene layer and at least one polyethylene sealant layer. In particular, the invention relates to a multilayer blown film comprising a non-sealant layer made from a propylene-rich polypropylene polymer blended with at least one ethylene-rich ethylene interpolymer and a sealant layer made from at least one ethylene interpolymer, wherein the ethylene-rich ethylene interpolymer comprises ethylene interpolymerized with at least one other comonomer other than propylene. The novel multilayer film structure exhibits excellent interlayer adhesion (especially at the blended non-sealant/sealant interface when adjacent to one another) and toughness (e.g. excellent trouser tear) with acceptable optical properties and surprising sealing properties.
