Filed:

Apr 30, 1999

Appl. No.:

09/303190

Inventors:

Richard Aufrichtig - Mountain View CA
Robert Forrest Kwasnick - Palo Alto CA
John R. Lamberty - Oconomowoc WI
John C. French - Wauwatosa WI

Assignee:

General Electric Company - Schenectady NY

International Classification:

H04N 964

US Classification:

348247, 378 988, 378 9811, 378 9812, 378 4, 600425

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for displaying an image generated by at least one detector of an imaging unit are disclosed herein. The method includes creating a pixel map identifying locations of bad pixels in an array of pixels in the image detected by the at least one detector, linking the pixel map to the image, and providing for selective display of the pixel map. Bad pixels behave from a group including pixels which do not respond electrically and pixels which are statistically different from surrounding pixels in the array of pixels. The apparatus includes an imaging unit for generating x-rays which pass through a body of interest, at least one detector unit for detecting the x-rays, and a processing unit for identifying bad pixels within the detected image.

International Classification:

C12N 9/96
C12N 9/56

US Classification:

435188, 435222

Abstract:

Methods are provided for the stabilization of proteinases by the covalent attachment of or admixture with water-soluble polymers. The resultant stabilized proteinases have increased stability under the harsh conditions used in industrial genomics, which permits their use in the extraction and isolation of nucleic acids and the identification of disease-related prion proteins at elevated temperatures in solutions containing chaotropic agents, such as sodium dodecyl sulfate, urea or guanidinium salts, conferring advantages for robotic applications.

Appl. No.:

17/728321

Inventors:

- Santa Clara CA, US
John W. French - Pacifica CA, US

International Classification:

H04L 45/028

Abstract:

A network device includes storage. The network device also includes a forwarding information manager. The storage stores forwarding information. The storage also stores information source rankings. The forwarding information manager obtains information from a source. The information source rankings include a ranking associated with the source. The forwarding information manager makes a determination, based on the information source rankings, that the source is undesirable. The forwarding information manager discards the information without processing the information based on the determination.

International Classification:

H04L 12/18

Abstract:

Method and system for reducing multicast traffic loss including configuring, on a primary DR including a first configured DR priority, a DR parameter including a value and an attribute; sending to a secondary DR, after a PIM interface comes up, a PIM hello message including a default DR priority lower than a second configured priority of the secondary DR; sending to the secondary DR, after the primary DR reaches a system-up state, a PIM hello message including the default DR priority; performing DR functionality, by the primary DR, after reaching the system-up state; and sending to the secondary DR, after waiting a time period corresponding to the value of the DR parameter, a PIM hello message including the first configured DR priority, where the primary DR waits to send the last PIM hello message to the secondary DR after the time period based on the attribute of the DR parameter.
