Filed:

Apr 24, 2007

Appl. No.:

11/739229

Inventors:

Joseph R. Rafter - Berwyn PA, US
Russell W. Taylor - Vienna VA, US
Vito R. Vitale - Atlantic Highlands NJ, US

Assignee:

INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATION - Armonk NY

International Classification:

G06Q 10/00

US Classification:

705 7

Abstract:

Disclosed are a method and system for assessing the status of a project that remove subjectivity from the status reporting by implementing an algorithm to calculate red, yellow, green status of each of a multitude of keys and the overall project. The assessment uses a series of questions based on risk management, project management, system engineering, architecture, and testing disciplines to probe projects and solicit objective responses with scores and a conversion of the score into a red, yellow, green status. The advantage to this solution is that a consistent standard is provided, eliminating the accidental or purposeful exclusion of key details in status reporting that frequently result in a more optimistic status than what reality should reflect.

US Classification:

606130, 29428

Abstract:

A system for operating within an interior region of the eye, or other organ, includes a delivery channel having a proximal portion located exterior to the eye and a distal portion positionable within the interior region of the eye, wherein the distal portion of the delivery channel defines an outer diameter that is smaller than or equal to about 18 gauge, and a micro-robot extendable from the distal portion of the delivery channel, wherein the micro-robot is remotely operable to change shape within the interior region of the eye.

Filed:

Appl. No.:

8/108027

Inventors:

Leo Joskowicz - Bronx NY
Russell H. Taylor - Yorktown NY

Assignee:

International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY

International Classification:

G06F 1546
G06F 1520

US Classification:

36416701

Abstract:

The present method and apparatus determines an interference-free trajectory for fitting a moving solid body into a cavity, particularly where the body has a complex shape and tightly fits into the cavity. The method begins by describing the body surface with a finite set of body surface elements and the cavity surface with a finite set of cavity surface elements. Then a set of surface element pairs is determined. Each set comprises a body surface element and a corresponding cavity surface element. A neighborhood is a volume that contains the pair of surface elements but no other surface element pairs or parts of surface elements. Body motion constraints are developed for each pair. The constraints do not allow the body motion to cause the surface elements in the pair to interpenetrate or to leave their respective neighborhood. An incremental movement of the body, along a preferred direction, is then determined subject to the constraints.

McNeil Laboratories, Incorporated - Fort Washington PA

International Classification:

A61K 2700
C07D23900

US Classification:

424251

Abstract:

Certain perimidines are observed to be useful antiulcer agents in view of their activity as inhibitors of gastric acid secretion and ulcer formation. Among such antiulcer agents are novel 2-(R'-oxymethyl)-perimidine derivatives, wherein R. sup. 1 is a member selected from the group consisting of benzoyl, carbamyl, N-loweralkylcarbamyl, and N,N-diloweralkylcarbamyl.

A61B 600

US Classification:

36441313

Abstract:

A robotic surgical system (10) includes a multiple degree of freedom manipulator arm (14) having a surgical tool (22). The arm is coupled to a controller (24) for controllably positioning the surgical tool within a three dimensional coordinate system. The system further includes a safety monitoring processor (38) for determining the position of the surgical tool in the three dimensional coordinate system relative to a volumetric model. The volumetric model may be represented as a constructive solid geometry (CSG) tree data structure. The system further includes an optical tracking camera system (28,32) disposed for imaging a region of space that includes at least a portion of the manipulator arm. An output of the camera system is coupled to the processor (38) that processes the volumetric model for determining if the surgical tool is positioned outside of the volumetric model. The system further includes a strain gage (40) for detecting slippage in three dimensions between an immobilized tissue, such as bone, and a reference point (44).
