Abstract: A medical imaging device for use in imaging a subject using both gamma rays and light rays emanating from the subject, the device comprising: separation means to separate gamma rays and light rays emanating from the subject into a gamma ray channel comprising gamma rays and a light ray channel comprising light rays; first sensor means arranged to receive and detect gamma rays from the gamma ray channel and to generate first signals for use in forming a first image of the subject; second sensor means arranged to receive and detect light rays from the light ray channel and to generate second signals for use in forming a second image of the subject; wherein the first sensor means and the second sensor means are arranged to receive gamma rays and light rays, respectively, which propagate from the subject upon substantially coincident paths.

Abstract: A method to synchronize tags between two databases comprises receiving a first command to add a tag to a resource in a first database, the tag comprising a key value pair that defines an access privilege associated with the resource. A determination is made that the tag satisfies validation criteria associated with a second database. The tag is stored in the first database, and an entry for the tag is added to a synchronization table, wherein the entry lacks a synchronized flag. A synchronization process is performed between the first database and the second database. A determination is made that the entry of the synchronization table lacks the synchronized flag. A copy of the tag is then written to the second database, and the synchronized flag for the entry in the synchronization table is set.

Abstract: A request to modify a set of permissions (e.g., delete the permissions, replace the set of permissions with a different set of permissions) is received at a computing device. A set of services are prevented from using the set of permissions to access resources. The set of permissions are changed while the set of services are prevented from using the set of permissions to access resources.

Abstract: Tags may be used in decisions by an access management service regarding access of computing resources (“resources”) by principals (e.g., users, roles, etc.). The tags may also be used to determine cost information, for grouping resources and/or principals, and for other reasons. The tags may be assigned to principals, to resources, or both. The resource may be a virtual or physical type of computing resource. Tags may be metadata, which may include a key-value pair. Tags may include email addresses, cost centers, project identifiers, location, team name, etc. The value may be a number, letters, or a combination of both. In some embodiments, the values may be limited to certain numbers or bytes, and some numbers and/or letter combinations may be excluded for special use.

Abstract: An appliance dolly includes a frame comprising a top end, a bottom end, a front end, and a back end. A platform is attached to the front end of the frame at the bottom end of the frame. A plate that is configured to engage with an appliance package between a box of the appliance package and a lid of the appliance package is disposed on the frame above the platform. The plate is movable between an engaged position between the box and the lid and a disengaged position where the plate is spaced apart from the box and the lid.

Abstract: A method of forming an implantable biomaterial comprising the steps of providing a polyether-diisocyanate prepolymer, reacting the prepolymer with one or more chain extender molecules typically including benzene 1,4-diol to form a mouldable polymer selected from a polyurethane or polyurethane-urea polymer or a polyurethane-urea block copolymer; placing the mouldable polymer into an implantable biomaterial shaped mould, and shaping and curing the mouldable polymer in the implantable biomaterial shaped mould to form the implantable biomaterial. An implantable biomaterial such as a heart valve leaflet is also disclosed.

Abstract: Tags may be used in decisions by an access management service regarding access of computing resources (“resources”) by principals (e.g., users, roles, etc.). The tags may also be used to determine cost information, for grouping resources and/or principals, and for other reasons. The tags may be assigned to principals, to resources, or both. The resource may be a virtual or physical type of computing resource. Tags may be metadata, which may include a key-value pair. Tags may include email addresses, cost centers, project identifiers, location, team name, etc. The value may be a number, letters, or a combination of both. In some embodiments, the values may be limited to certain numbers or bytes, and some numbers and/or letter combinations may be excluded for special use.

Abstract: This invention relates to a device designed for use by spectators at athletic events wherein a spectator may signal his agreement or disagreement with an official's call by releasing a flag into the air, which flag is tethered to the user's wrist or clothing and therefore retrievable.

Abstract: The present invention provides an apparatus for venting an airspace formed between an ornamental window and a protective panel. The venting means includes at least one pair of vent openings, one for air to enter the airspace and one for air to exit. These vent openings include a path through the frame holding the protective panel to an interior opening which is to the airspace. The vent openings, the paths and the interior openings must be of adequate size to minimize the range of temperature and moisture within the airspace. It is recommended that effective vent openings are at least one square inch for every 2000-2500 square inches of ornamental window.

Abstract: A compact, hinged, foldably deployable ramp is provided in a base configuration which includes three evenly radiused sections which connect to a deck member and have a tube, known as a coping, separating the ramp from the deck. In the base configuration, a top section, mid section and lower section each have a pair of ladder structures which share a middle flange. The deck member includes a pair of angled leg members which are designed to provide support throughout the range of engagement of the ramp. Even size and radiusing of the sections enables continued extension of the ramp by adding sections in conjunction with longer support legs for the deck.
