The invention relates to a method for compensating patient movements in MRI scans in real time and to a device suitable for carrying out said method. The method involves the following steps: optically sensing a marking element (5) connected to a patient (3) by means of an image sensor module (7) of an MRI-compatible camera (2) which is positioned inside an MRI device; transferring the image data detected by the image sensor module (7) to a micro-controller module (11) which is integrated in the MRI-compatible camera (2); calculating position data of the marking element (5) in the micro-controller module (11); and transmitting the position data to an external analyzing unit or to the MRI device in real time.

The invention provides a method of determining the degree of network address translation (NAT) traversing required to dynamically establish a bearer path within or out of a Service Provider hosted Enterprise VoIP VPN. Each media end point in the Enterprise IP VPN has associated with it a chain of the identities of a hierarchy of NAT functions behind which it resides with respect to an SP public IP network over which the Enterprise VoIP is hosted. By comparing the respective NAT function identity chains for an originating end point and a destination end point, a call agent can determine what, if any, NAT functions need to be traversed in the bearer path between the end points.

An automated feeding system for pets with special diets includes a feeder dish which is made accessible to a pet only when an ID tag on the pet is recognized as authorized by a receiver on the device and only for a certain time period. The appropriate amount of food is thereby made available at appropriate time intervals. If a plurality of tags is pre-programmed as authorized, each animal's tag can sequentially activate the feeding device to feed each animal, respectively. However, if more than one authorized tag is present in the feeding time set for one animal, the drawer closes.

A method of provisioning a conference call in order to preserve bandwidth on a network, and thereby allowing a larger number of participants to actively take part in a conference call. The method includes providing all participants in a conference call with a simplex connection to the conference call so that they can hear what is being said. It further comprises allocating further bandwidth so at least one participant can address the conference at any one time.

The mapping system maps a physical table of a database to a logical table representing a logical view of the database that integrates standard columns and custom columns. The physical table includes a standard table with standard columns and a custom table with custom columns. The custom table may be implemented as a pivot table. The mapping system provides a map between standard and custom columns and logical columns. The physical table may include multiple standard tables. The mapping system allows for individual standard tables to be updated, rather than updating all the columns across all the standard tables for a row.

A method is provided for protecting a head element of a computer disk drive during rework operations by applying thioropolymeric protective coating or film to the head element after the disk drive has been opened. Application of the protective coating is preferably performed utilizing a solvent-mediated deposition process. Further aspects of the invention include the application of the protective coating to the head element prior to storage of the head element or prior to shipping the head element in order to facilitate rework of the head element or other components of the disassembled disk drive.

An electronic pointing or cursor control device comprising a first chamber and a second chamber, wherein: the two chambers are adjoined and separated by a fluid-tight separating wall; the first chamber contains electronic components; the second chamber comprises an aperture; the second chamber contains a ball, the ball protruding through said aperture; the said separating wall comprises an optically permeable region; and the electronic components include optical detection means directed towards the optically permeable region and the ball, the detection means being operable in use to detect motion of the ball and to generate electronic signals representative of said motion. The device may be a trackball or a mouse. Also provided is an electronic pointing or cursor control device comprising a ball and optical detection means responsive to movement of the ball, the optical detection means being operable in use to detect motion of the ball and to generate electronic signals representative of said motion, wherein the detection means are mounted at an angular position around the circumference of the ball such that a radial line from the ball to the detection means forms a non-zero angle with a diametric line though the ball normal to the mounting plane of the device.

The present invention relates to film web substrates and more particularly to such web substrates wherein the inherent elongation properties of a given web material are modified. An exemplary web material is formed from first and second precursor webs. A first side of the web material is formed from the first precursor web and integral extensions of the second precursor web that extend through the first precursor web.

A system, method, and user interface allowing users to easily view and compare images generated from various satellite imaging sources are provided. The system includes a user interface device, a display device, a database for storing school information, and a processor. The processor includes a first component that instructs the display device to present one of the satellite images based on the stored landmark (school) information, a second component that sets a control point in a satellite image based on a signal generated by the user interface, and a third component that aligns the images based on the set control points. The user selects a control point on a common visual feature in the image that is associated with the selected landmark.
