摘要： Systems and methods for using selective inter-layer prediction during layered video coding operations are described. In one aspect, a layered coded video structure is generated by selectively employing only objectively efficient inter-layer predictions between respective frames. Responsive to receiving a request for coded video data, one or more layers of the layered coded video structure are communicated to an application for decoding and presentation of video data to a user.

摘要： Medical implants, such as orthopedic implants of the type used in partial or total joint replacement procedures, for example. The implants include a porous substrate, and a bearing portion of a polymeric material, for example, which is at least partially molded within the porous substrate. The bearing portion includes a bearing surface that is exposed to an articulating component of another medical implant, and the porous metal substrate contacts the bone for osseointegration of the bone tissue into the porous substrate to anchor the implant. The porous substrate may include biodegradable carrier materials, in the form of one or more layers, that carry biologically active agents such as antibiotics and bone growth factors, for example. The layers of biodegradable carrier materials may be tailored such that, after implantation of the implants, the biologically active agents are released sequentially and/or over time into the surrounding tissue to reduce the chances of infection and/or to promote osseointegration of the implant, for example.

摘要： A preparation kit for preparing dental prosthetic devices in-house at the site of a dental procedure, without requiring an external third-party lab to prepare the final prosthetic device. The kit contains a porous block, a thermoset polymeric resin, and an initiator, where the resin and initiator are both packaged in substantially airtight and substantially opaque packaging. The resin and initiator are combined together to form a resin mixture which is then infiltrated into the pores of the porous block to form an esthetic material. A digital scan of at least a portion of a patient's jaw is used to provide the desired shape of the dental device to a cutting mechanism, which then cuts the filled or un-filled porous block based on the shape provided to it from the digital scan.

摘要： A persistent snapshot is taken and maintained in accordance with a novel method and system for extended periods of time using only a portion of a computer readable medium of which the snapshot is taken. Multiple snapshots can be taken in succession at periodic intervals and maintained practically indefinitely. The snapshots are maintained even after powering down and rebooting of the computer system. The state of the object of the snapshot for each snapshot preferably is accessible via a folder on volume of the snapshot. A restore of a file or folder may be accomplished by merely copying that file or folder from the snapshot folder to a current directory of the volume. Alternatively, the entire computer system may be restored to a previous snapshot state thereof. Snapshots that occurred after the state to which the computer is restored are not lost in the restore operation. Different rule sets and scenarios can be applied to each snapshot. Furthermore, each snapshot can be written to within the context of the snapshot and later restored to its pristine condition. Software for implementing the systems and methods of snapshots in accordance with the present invention may comprise firmware of a hard disk drive controller or a disk controller board or within the HDD casing itself. The present invention further comprises novel systems and methods in which the systems and methods of taking and maintaining snapshots are utilized in creating and managing temporal data stores, including temporal database management systems. The implications for data mining and exploration, data analysis, intelligence gathering, and artificial intelligence (just to name a few areas) are profound.

摘要： This invention provides water-swellable articles and hydrogels that contain a hydrophilic polymer and perfluorocyclobutane crosslinking segments. The perfluorocyclobutane crosslinking segments are covalently attached to the polymeric chains of the hydrophilic polymer so that the crosslinking segments chemically link the polymeric chains to each other. The present invention also provides a method of making a crosslinked hydrogel by first attaching one or more substituted aromatic trifluorovinyl or aromatic trifluorovinyl ether moieties to a hydrophilic polymer to form a modified polymer and then heating the modified polymer at an elevated temperature to form perfluorocyclobutane segments from the trifluorovinyl or trifluorovinyl ether moieties. These water-swellable articles and hydrogels may be used in biomedical and pharmaceutical applications and may be suitable for implanted joint repair materials such as an articulating or bearing surface in a hip, knee, spine, finger, ankle, elbow, wrist, or shoulder joint.
