20080295066 | Programming model for modular development - Various technologies and techniques are disclosed for providing a programming model for modular development. A definition feature is provided that allows a definition to be specified for a particular method that is part of an application. A production feature allows a functionality implementation to be specified for the particular method separately from the definition. A consumption feature allows a method call to be made indirectly to the functionality implementation of the particular method by referencing the definition of the particular method from a consuming method. The consuming method has no awareness of the functionality implementation for the particular method. An analysis process inspects components containing indirect associations between these consumers and producers of application functionality to generate a graph of direct associations between the consumers and producers without having to actually load the components. A loader process uses the graph of direct associations to run the application. | 11-27-2008 |

20100146481 | DEVELOPING APPLICATIONS AT RUNTIME - Data applications may be developed within an integrated development environment comprising an iterative cycle of writing source code, building the source code, running the data application, and testing the data application. The development becomes iterative because the application is torn down, redesigned, rebuilt, and re-executed if the data application is modified. Developing an application at runtime is disclosed herein, which is generally more efficient than conventional iterative techniques. As provided herein, runtime application comprising prebuilt components is presented to a user. The runtime application may be modified through modification gestures. An update assembly may be built based upon the modification gestures. The runtime application may be updated based upon the updated assembly. For example, prebuilt components modified by modification gestures may be torn down, updated with a corresponding update assembly, and reloaded into the runtime application, while the runtime application is in a runtime state. | 06-10-2010 |

20100090887 | MULTI-PIXEL HIGH-RESOLUTION THREE-DIMENSIONAL IMAGING RADAR - A three-dimensional imaging radar operating at high frequency e.g., 670 GHz radar using low phase-noise synthesizers and a fast chirper to generate a frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) waveform, is disclosed that operates with a multiplexed beam to obtain range information simultaneously on multiple pixels of a target. A source transmit beam may be divided by a hybrid coupler into multiple transmit beams multiplexed together and directed to be reflected off a target and return as a single receive beam which is demultiplexed and processed to reveal range information of separate pixels of the target associated with each transmit beam simultaneously. The multiple transmit beams may be developed with appropriate optics to be temporally and spatially differentiated before being directed to the target. Temporal differentiation corresponds to a different intermediate frequencies separating the range information of the multiple pixels. Collinear transmit beams having differentiated polarizations may also be implemented. | 04-15-2010 |

20080304044 | HIGH-RESOLUTION THREE-DIMENSIONAL IMAGING RADAR - A three-dimensional imaging radar operating at high frequency e.g., 670 GHz, is disclosed. The active target illumination inherent in radar solves the problem of low signal power and narrow-band detection by using submillimeter heterodyne mixer receivers. A submillimeter imaging radar may use low phase-noise synthesizers and a fast chirper to generate a frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) waveform. Three-dimensional images are generated through range information derived for each pixel scanned over a target. A peak finding algorithm may be used in processing for each pixel to differentiate material layers of the target. Improved focusing is achieved through a compensation signal sampled from a point source calibration target and applied to received signals from active targets prior to FFT-based range compression to extract and display high-resolution target images. Such an imaging radar has particular application in detecting concealed weapons or contraband. | 12-11-2008 |

20120261461 | MULTI-UP BUSINESS ENVELOPE FOR DIGITAL PRINTING - Two sheets of 20# paper of 21″×10⅛″ sheet size are laminated together using pattern printed adhesive and silicon sites to create a sheet of multi-up #10 envelopes. Each envelope is separated by a perforation in the sheet and includes edges that are square folded to eliminate image deletions as the envelopes travel through a printer. Three kiss slits are located at the bottom of each envelope to allow air to escape and prevent wrinkling as they are conveyed through a printer. The flaps for each of the envelopes are included in the sheet which are to be folded over and sealed using a peel and seal adhesive strip, which keeps the strip moisture free and the flap opened to eliminate issues of sealing in the printer. | 10-18-2012 |
