20140268332 | DYE AND PIGMENT-FREE STRUCTURAL COLORS AND ANGLE-INSENSITIVE SPECTRUM FILTERS - Optical spectrum filtering devices displaying minimal angle dependence or angle insensitivity are provided. The filter comprises a localized plasmonic nanoresonator assembly having a metal material layer defining at least one nanogroove and a dielectric material disposed adjacent to the metal material layer. The dielectric material is disposed within the nanogroove(s). The localized plasmonic nanoresonator assembly is configured to funnel and absorb a portion of an electromagnetic spectrum in the at least one nanogroove via localized plasmonic resonance to generate a filtered output having a predetermined range of wavelengths that displays angle insensitivity. Thus, flexible, high efficiency angle independent color filters having very small diffraction limits are provided that are particularly suitable for use as pixels for various display devices or for use in anti-counterfeiting and cryptography applications. The structures can also be used for colored print applications and the elements can be rendered as pigment-like particles. | 09-18-2014 |

20110054416 | MATERIAL CONTROL DEVICE FOR INSERTING MATERIAL INTO A TARGETED ANATOMICAL REGION - An extractable device is used to insert a flowable material into a vertebral body. The device comprises a filling member and a flowable material. The filling member is made of a flexible wall which includes a holding portion and an injection port via which the flowable material is injected into the holding portion after insertion into the vertebral body. The holding portion is provided with an opening which is releasably closed by a closure device so as to make the opening substantially resistant to the passage of material there through. Once the flowable material in the holding portion increases in viscosity, the closure device is released, thereby enabling the filling member to be extracted from the vertebral body so as to leave only the material in the vertebral body. The flowable material should be a material capable of setting to a hardened condition. | 03-03-2011 |

20110288522 | APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR DETACHING AN EXPANDABLE MEMBER FROM A MEDICAL DEVICE - A medical implant device includes a shaft, an expandable member coupled to the distal end portion of the shaft, a sleeve and a detachment mechanism. The expandable member is configured to move between a collapsed configuration and an expanded configuration, and can be used to deliver a medicament, a therapeutic substance and/or a structural member into the body. The sleeve is coupled to the distal end portion of the shaft, and is configured to move relative to the shaft between a first position and a second position. The sleeve is configured to be disposed about the expandable member when in the first position and disposed apart from the expandable member when in the second position. The detachment mechanism is coupled to the distal end portion of the shaft, and is configured to detach the expandable member from the shaft when the sleeve is in the second position. | 11-24-2011 |
20130197534 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR RESTRICTING MOVEMENT OF A CANNULA DURING A SURGICAL PROCEDURE - An apparatus comprises a body portion having a sidewall with one or more threads and defining a lumen. The apparatus includes a brace portion having a sidewall that defines a lumen that is fluidically coupled to the lumen of the body portion. The sidewall of the brace portion has one or more threads that are configured to matingly couple to the threads of the body portion. The brace portion has a contact surface configured to contact a bodily tissue of a patient when a cannula is disposed within the lumen of the body portion and the lumen of the brace portion. The brace portion and the body portion are collectively configured to maintain a position of the cannula within a body of the patient relative to the bodily tissue when the cannula is disposed within the lumen of the brace portion and the lumen of the body portion. | 08-01-2013 |

20140365690 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR RELIABLE DETECTION AND ENUMERATION OF DEVICES - Methods and apparatus for reliable detection and enumeration of devices. In one embodiment, the controller comprises serialized bus protocol (e.g., a Universal Serial Bus (USB)) controller capable of supporting different bus architectures (e.g., USB 2.0 and USB 3.0) of the USB protocol (e.g., eXtensible Host Controller Interface (xHCI) controller). In one variant, when a USB-compliant device is detected over multiple bus architectures of a controller, the controller waits an additional period to allow the device to properly identify which bus architecture to use. After the time period has elapsed, if the device has been determined to be connected over the USB 3.0 bus architecture, the controller waits an additional period of time before enumerating the device. If the device is still present on the USB 3.0 bus architecture, the device continues to enumerate as a USB 3.0 advice to be made available to a host system. | 12-11-2014 |

20080215590 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ASSESSING THE IMPORTANCE OF A WEB LINK - A system and method for determining the most relevant web links to a destination web page is disclosed. The method generates a link value for a linking web page by analyzing the position of the link to the destination web page, the number of links to the destination web page, the number of links to competitors of the destintion web page, and a universal significance score of the linking web page. A plurality of web links to the destination web page may be assessed to generate a link value score for each web link. A list of relevance rankings of the link value scores ranked from highest to lowest relevance may be compiled. Determining the web links with the highest link value to a destination web page enables that company to determine the most beneficial web links, and thereby establish better business relationships with the web page owners that provide the most beneficial links to the company's web page. | 09-04-2008 |

20160067624 | Playhouse Assembly - A playhouse assembly for constructing a dome-shaped housing. The playhouse assembly includes one or more contoured upper wall elements that connect to one another to form an upper wall of a dome-shaped structure, resembling an igloo. A transparent dome-shaped window is secured to the top of the upper wall in order to form the peak of the dome-shaped structure. Each upper wall element includes one or more rods extending from a lower edge thereof, wherein the rods can be inserted into a lower wall formed by snow. In some embodiments of the playhouse assembly, one or more lower wall elements are included, wherein each of the lower wall elements connect to one another to form the lower wall of the structure, rather than using snow to form the lower wall thereof. Further, a ring-shaped template is provided in order to guide a user when constructing the lower wall. | 03-10-2016 |
