ALEXANDRIA, Va., Jan. 27 -- Cambridge Research & Instrumentation, Woburn, Mass., has been assigned a patent (8,103,081) developed by Kirk William Gossage, Milford, Conn., and Tyna A. Hope, Wakefield, Mass., for classification of samples.
The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "Methods disclosed herein include: (a) determining positions of a plurality of cells based on one or more images of the cells; (b) for at least some of the plurality of cells, generating a matrix that includes two-dimensional information about positions of neighboring cells, and determining one or more numerical features based on the information in the matrix; and (c) classifying the at least some of the plurality of cells as belonging to at least one of multiple classes based on the numerical features."
The patent application was filed on March 10, 2009 (12/401,430). The full-text of the patent can be found at http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-bool.html&r=1&f=G&l=50&co1=AND&d=PTXT&s1=8,103,081.PN.&OS=PN/8,103,081&RS=PN/8,103,081

Neutral Tandem Assigned Patent
ALEXANDRIA, Va., Jan. 27 -- Neutral Tandem, Chicago, has been assigned a patent (8,102,988) developed by six co-inventors for a "method and system for dynamically terminating wireless and wireline calls between carriers." The co-inventors are Ronald W. Gavillet, Glencoe, Ill., Jeffrey H. Hartzell, Chicago, Richard H. Anderson, Lake Zurick, Ill., James P. Hynes, Riverside, Conn., Jeffrey C. Wells, Carpenterville, Ill., and John R. Barnicle, Western Springs, Ill.
The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "A third party tandem provider that intercepts and routes voice and data traffic between telecommunications carriers, e.g., wireless carriers, local exchange carriers, and long distance carriers, by dynamically determining the actual terminating switch for a call using a plurality of proprietary databases versus terminating calls merely based on the switch associated with the terminating telephone number. The tandem services provider Service Control Point (SCP) is arranged to maintain a carrier unit's status in a resident database or secure such information per call from the terminating carrier's database. When a call is placed to a telephone number associated with a carrier connected to the tandem, the tandem platform Service Switching Point (SSP) queries the SCP for availability and routing instructions. In response, the SCP accesses its database and/or the terminating carrier's database to determine the status of the unit. If the unit is available, the SCP sends the SSP the unit's current service address (e.g., IP address, telephone number, location routing number) to route the call to the switching location currently serving the subscriber unit. If the unit is unavailable, the SCP sends the SSP the information to route the call to the home switch associated with the called unit for announcement, voice mail, or other treatment. The terminating carrier thus avoids the internal routing inefficiencies of re-directing the call within its network."
The patent application was filed on Oct. 19, 2005 (11/253,383). The full-text of the patent can be found at http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-bool.html&r=1&f=G&l=50&co1=AND&d=PTXT&s1=8,102,988.PN.&OS=PN/8,102,988&RS=PN/8,102,988

Schlumberger Technology Assigned Patent
ALEXANDRIA, Va., Jan. 27 -- Schlumberger Technology, Sugar Land, Texas, has been assigned a patent (8,102,732) developed by Jahir Pabon, Wellesley, Mass., Chaur-Jian Hsu, Danbury, Conn., and Bikash K. Sinha, West Redding, Conn., for an "anisotropy measurement while drilling."
The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "Methods and apparatus facilitating measurement of anisotropy are disclosed. According to some aspects, anisotropy can be determined while drilling. Monopole/quadrupole interactions, as well as monitoring dipole excitations and other methods, may be used to find the principal shear directions of a formation while drilling or during wireline or other operations."
The patent application was filed on Oct. 15, 2009 (12/579,798). The full-text of the patent can be found at http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-bool.html&r=1&f=G&l=50&co1=AND&d=PTXT&s1=8,102,732&OS=8,102,732&RS=8,102,732

Pyramid Technologies Assigned Patent
ALEXANDRIA, Va., Jan. 27 -- Pyramid Technologies, Meriden, Conn., has been assigned a patent (8,102,125) developed by George Bucci, Southington, Conn., for an "apparatus and methods for reducing the power consumption of fluorescent lights."
The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "Systems for reducing the power consumption of fluorescent lights are provided. The systems can be used in new construction as well as retrofitted into existing buildings employing overdriven fluorescent lights without significantly affecting the operation of utility power lines. In preferred embodiments, the systems provide substantially constant light output during start-up and low voltage conditions."
The patent application was filed on March 27, 2008 (12/593,393). The full-text of the patent can be found at http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-bool.html&r=1&f=G&l=50&co1=AND&d=PTXT&s1=8,102,125&OS=8,102,125&RS=8,102,125
