US Patent:

6606671, Aug 12, 2003

Filed:

Apr 19, 1999

Appl. No.:

09/294978

Inventors:

Timothy R. McNamer - Brooklyn Center MN
Timothy L. Nelson - Roseville MN

Assignee:

Unisys Corporation - Blue Bell PA

International Classification:

G06F 1134

US Classification:

710 18, 710 15, 702179, 702182, 702187, 714 37, 714 45, 714 47, 717127, 717128

Abstract:

A method for analyzing input/output operations of a data processing system. Input/output trace data of the system is stored in an input/output trace file. The trace file is interactively analyzed by first interactively obtaining data selection criterion and then reading input/output trace data from the trace file in accordance with the selection criterion. The input/output trace data read from the trace file is displayed, and the steps of obtaining the data selection criteria and displaying the trace data are repeated.

Abstract:

A method for analyzing input/output performance of a data processing system. The method comprises providing records of input/output operations performed by the data processing system. Each record has statistics related to a respective input/output operation for a respective process. One or more workload classes are specified for accumulating statistics, and the statistics from the input/output records are accumulated by workload class. The accumulated statistics are reported by workload class which supports analysis of the input/output behavior for different workload classes.

US Patent:

62143700, Apr 10, 2001

Filed:

Apr 9, 1999

Appl. No.:

9/291571

Inventors:

Timothy S. Nelson - Elk River MN
Matthew A. Bergan - Brooklyn Park MN

Assignee:

Medtronic, Inc. - Minneapolis MN

International Classification:

A61F 202
A61K 4730
A61K 922

US Classification:

424425

Abstract:

A device and method is disclosed for continuously administering an analgesic to the neuraxis of an organism. The device comprises a polymeric matrix body loaded with the analgesic. The body is implanted in the neuraxis where the analgesic diffuses into the neuraxis.

Inventors:

Timothy S. Nelson - Elk River MN

Assignee:

Medtronic, Inc. - Minneapolis MN

International Classification:

A61M 2500

US Classification:

15624413

Abstract:

An infusion catheter for delivering drugs or other agents to selected sites in an organism, such as a human. In an alternate embodiment, a catheter system is disclosed having an infusion catheter and a pump that may be implanted or disposed outside the organism. In either embodiment, the free end of the catheter bears a rounded tip that has at least one elution hole for discharging an agent or drug to a selected site. The catheter has a tubular inner liner that is integral with the tip. The inner liner and tip are formed from a drug compatible polymeric material that is relatively nonporous and unreactive with the agent to be infused. A biocompatible flexible elastomeric tubular jacket surrounds the inner liner and a portion of the tip excluding that portion containing the elution hole or holes. Since the agent flowing in the catheter is isolated from the jacket while flowing through the catheter, and since the inner liner is relatively nonporous and unreactive with the agent to be used, the agent is prevented from diffusing out of the catheter, adsorbing to the surface of the biocompatible jacket, reacting adversely with the jacket material or becoming exposed to substances diffusing through the jacket.

Abstract:

A system includes a sensor including a set of cameras configured to capture a set of images of an enclosed space. The system further includes a processor and a non-transitory computer-readable medium containing instructions which, when executed on the processor, cause the processor to perform operations including: (a) receiving the set of images captured by the set of cameras; (b) pre-processing the set of images to increase quality and reduce effect of ambient lighting; (c) building a disparity map for the set of images based at least in part on a relationship between the set of cameras; and (d) determining an occupancy of the enclosed space based at least in part on the disparity map. The system can be used to determine occupancy in a trailer with irregularly shaped cargo using low cost sensors.
