Assignee:

RELATION SYSTEMS, INC. - Pewaukee WI

International Classification:

G06F 15/177

US Classification:

713 1

Abstract:

A system, method and apparatus dedicated to accessing certain aspects of the Internet. The system includes a hardware device having a display and firmware associated with the display. The firmware includes a web browser and an operating system, configured to automatically connect to a datacenter server using the web browser, and to receive a frameset template from the datacenter, the frameset including frames, wherein each frame includes a preset content locator, upon boot of the operating system. The data center server may have preconfigured framesets with assigned content locators, and be configured to transmit one or more of the framesets to the device. Each frame may include content from transmitted from a different internet server upon boot of the operating system.

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for controlling motion of power driven mechanisms in a medical x-ray spot filming system in order to minimize induced vibrations of x-ray film due to acceleration and deceleration of the power driven mechanisms. The invention includes a method and apparatus for establishing a desired profile of position of the x-ray associated mechanisms as a function of time and for implementing a move of the mechanism in accordance with the desired profile. In one form the profile is divided into a plurality of equal time increments and the motion of the mechanism is computed for each time increment as a function of a particular change in position such that a move can be completed within a fixed time interval. Depending upon the length of the move, a change in position for each time increment is determined and the mechanism is moved in accordance with the computed position change for each time increment.
