摘要:
A device for mixing and applying a substance includes a syringe barrel, a plunger, a shaft, a mixing surface, and a locking device. The syringe barrel is preloaded with one or more components of the substance and is enclosed by a seal. The plunger has a plunger body that is displaceable within the syringe barrel, and a dispensing surface. The shaft within the plunger body has a first end and a second end, and is positioned to extend through and from the plunger body. The mixing surface is attached to the first end of the shaft. The locking device enables the mixing surface to alternate between an extended position and a retracted position. In the extended position, the mixing surface projects from the dispensing surface to promote mixing of the substance. In the retracted position, the mixing surface is retracted through the dispensing surface into the plunger body.

摘要:
An image is processed to encode a digital watermark, with different regions thereof processed using different levels of watermark intensity. In an image comprised of elements of differing sizes (e.g., halftone shapes of different sizes, or lines of different width), the different regions can be defined by reference to the sizes of elements contained therein. Regions characterized by relatively small elements can be watermarked at a relatively low intensity. Regions characterized by relatively large elements can be watermarked at a relatively high intensity. A variety of other features are also discussed.

The present invention provides methods and systems to manage the exchange of medical information between two or more entities. Particularly, the present invention provides for computer-implemented systems and methods that are useful for transferring diagnostic medical examinations between hospitals, diagnostic imaging centers, medical clinics, physicians, physician groups, or entities employing physicians. The present invention further provides a method in which prospective consumers (e.g., hospitals, diagnostic imaging centers, and medical clinics) may engage the medical interpretation services of geographically dispersed providers (e.g., physicians, physician groups, or entities employing physicians).
摘要:
A computer-based system for automating administrative procedures in a medical office is described. The system includes a control module in communication with an administrator module and a tape management module, as well as a database accessible by the administrator module and the tape management module. The tape management module can advantageously be configured, for example, to manage outsourcing of tape transcription.
摘要:
A character programming method (10) whereby a synchronization character (17) can be determined in a determine encoding scheme operation (12) and a determine synchronization character operation (14). The synchronization character (17) can then be programmed into a synch character logic (26) of an integrated circuit (20) or a core (20) thereof. The synch character logic (26) can be programmed through a plurality of program pins (30) on the periphery of the integrated circuit (20) or by more sophisticated means such as by sending the programming from a sending integrated circuit (40) to a receiving integrated circuit (42) through a communications line (44).
摘要:
Some embodiments provide an integrated circuit (“IC”) with a primary circuit structure. The primary circuit structure is for performing multiple operations that implement a user design. The primary circuit structure includes multiple circuits. The IC also includes a secondary monitoring structure for monitoring multiple operations. The secondary monitoring structure includes a network communicatively coupled to multiple circuits of the primary circuit structure. The secondary monitoring circuit structure is for analyzing the monitored operations and reporting on the analysis to a circuit outside of the IC.

摘要:
The present invention relates to digital watermarking systems and methods. In a first implementation, so-called movie studio rough-cuts are watermarked to provide a forensic tracking clue or to provide security for distributed rough-cuts. In another implementation, a watermark is determined for a compressed video object. The watermark is compressed as an object and the watermarked object is then associated with the compressed video object. The two separate objects are provided to a rendering device, which after decompressing both objects, embeds the watermark in the video prior to rendering.
