Abstract:
A clip holds a plurality of optical fibers in an array to be inserted into a fiber optic ferrule. The clip has a base member and a lid to hold the optical fibers therebetween. A stacker block assists in making the array by aligning them in a single plane. The optical fibers are then held in alignment for stripping, cleaving and inserting into the fiber optic ferrule.
Abstract:
A peer-to-peer network is monitored for suspicious activity based on patterns of activity. When a particular pattern of suspicious activity is detected, an action associated with the particular pattern is taken. The activity monitored may include network traffic among peers and data sharing on a peer in the network. The action may be to log information about the suspicious activity and/or to send an alert about the suspicious activity.

Abstract:
The present invention provides conjugates useful for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases associated with the over-expression of COX-2. The conjugates comprise a selective COX-2 targeting carrier, a metal coordinating moiety, and a linker chemically linking the metal coordinating moiety to the carrier. The metals coordinated by the metal coordinating moiety are selected from paramagnetic or radioisotopes. The invention also includes kits comprising a conjugate and a radioisotope solution.
Abstract:
A projection assembly includes an illumination system and at least one light modulator panel in optical communication with the illumination system. An illumination path is defined between the illumination system and the light modulator panel. Further, the illumination system is configured to spatially shift at least a portion of the illumination path.
Abstract:
A lamp assembly includes a reflector body having an integral crimping portion that extends inwardly over a channel formed in the reflector body, a seal feature arranged within the channel, a cathode assembly having an edge feature extending into the channel, and a resilient member held in a state of compression between the crimping portion and a first surface of the edge feature such that an opposing second surface of the edge member is held against the sealing feature thereby creating a hermetic seal between the cathode assembly and the reflector body wherein the crimping portion is configured to remain in contact with the resilient member if the hermetic seal becomes non-hermetic.
Abstract:
A reflector for a projector includes a metal reflector that defines an optical surface. An absorptive surface is disposed on the optical surface. A layer of germanium is disposed on the absorptive surface. A band-pass reflective surface is further disposed on the absorptive surface.

Abstract:
A display system for displaying an interlaced image frame, having a top field and a bottom field, includes an image processing unit configured to process a stream of pixel data corresponding to the top and bottom fields and generate a number of image sub-frames, a modulator configured to generate a light beam bearing the number of image sub-frames, and a wobbling device configured to displace the light beam such that each of the number of image sub-frames is spatially displayed in an image sub-frame location offset from image sub-frame locations of others of the image sub-frames. The image processing unit processes the pixel data corresponding to the top field to generate at least one of the number of image sub-frames and the pixel data corresponding to the bottom field to generate at least one of the number of image sub-frames.
Abstract:
An electrode useful for generating or receiving electrical signals generally comprises a base and more than one dome-like protuberance on an exterior surface of the base. The electrodes can be utilized in connection with various probe applications. For example, the electrodes can be utilized with an esophageal probe for invasively monitoring cardiac functions, including the ECG or cardiac output of a patient. To further minimize the differences in voltage potential as may be caused by electrolytes present at the point of contact, a gold-plated layer may be provided on the outer surface of the electrodes. An exemplary probe generally comprises a chassis with an electrical cable extending from the proximal end of the chassis and with the cable terminating at an electrical plug configured for connection to a cardiac monitor. The probe also includes an electrode assembly comprising the dome-like protuberances and configured to generate or receive electrical signals that are indicative of the cardiac functions of the patient. The probe may further include a deployment device attached to the chassis for stabilizing the probe within the esophagus. The probe may also be configured to include other sensing devices, for example, a temperature measuring device and an acoustic monitor.
