20130320689 | STOWABLE VEHICLE CONSOLE PANEL - A vehicle console includes a panel that has a closed position and a stowed position. The panel at least partly covers a utility area when in the closed position, and an end of the panel is concealed from view in the stowed position. The panel pivots about a pivot point and is coupled with a movement mechanism. The movement mechanism includes one or more gears and a pivot arm with dimensional relationships that define a line of movement for the pivot arm as it moves between the closed and stowed positions. A planetary gear set may be used to define a curvilinear path, such as an elliptical path, or a rectilinear path for the pivot point. | 12-05-2013 |

20100011793 | REFRIGERATION CONTROL SYSTEM - A control apparatus and associated method for a refrigeration system are provided. The control apparatus includes sensors capable of detecting controlled refrigerator zone temperatures and superheat levels of refrigerant vapour exiting an evaporator. The control module receives input from the sensors, compares the input to a determined controlled refrigerator zone set point and a learned superheat level, and generates an output with respect thereto. In particular the output modulates an electronic evaporator pressure regulating (EEPR) valve between an open and a closed position in response to detecting abnormal operation of the thermostatic expansion valve or electronic expansion valve. | 01-21-2010 |

20120243465 | Technique for Enabling Multiple Terminals to Simulate Traffic of a Single Virtual Terminal - A technique for enabling multiple terminals to simulate data traffic of a single virtual terminal includes transmitting from a first transmitting terminal a request to establish a communication session between the first transmitting terminal and a receiving terminal, where the first transmitting terminal is one a plurality of transmitting terminals. The first transmitting terminal receives at least one message from the receiving terminal to establish the communication session. Once the communication session is established between the first transmitting terminal and the receiving terminal, data traffic is transmitted from the plurality of transmitting terminals to the receiving terminal within the communication session such that the receiving terminal is unaware that more than one transmitting terminal is transmitting within the communication session. The communication session is maintained by transmitting maintenance messages from at least one of the plurality of transmitting terminals to the receiving terminal throughout the communication session. | 09-27-2012 |

20080214210 | LOCATION-BASED NOVELTY INDEX VALUE AND RECOMMENDATION SYSTEM AND METHOD - The invention is a system and method for computing a result for a location, wherein the result indicates how novel it is for a wireless device to occupy a specific location. After determining the location of a wireless device through various means, a Novelty Index Value (NIV) is calculated for the location, and the NIV is then stored into a database. The NIV may then be subsequently used by application programs to compute a desired result from the NIV. Multiple users may utilize and/or share the same NIV values. The NIV may also be used to alter the configuration of a wireless device as well. A recommendation system is also disclosed, wherein user context is utilized along with NIV values to compute particular results for a user. | 09-04-2008 |

20100042975 | MESSAGE LOGGING FOR SOFTWARE APPLICATIONS - A computer system comprises a storage medium configured to store software instructions; a processing unit configured to execute the software instructions; a bus; and an acknowledge device coupled to the processing unit via the bus. The processing unit is further configured to periodically write debug messages to the acknowledge device during execution of the software instructions and the acknowledge device is configured to acknowledge the debug messages prior to processing the debug messages. | 02-18-2010 |
20110047428 | ON-DEVICE CONSTRAINED RANDOM VERIFICATION FOR DEVICE DEVELOPMENT - A method of functionally verifying a device under test having at least one processor and at least one memory is disclosed. The method includes creating verification data for the device under test using a constrained random verification data creation process executed on the at least one processor. The verification data includes input data and expected output data. The method further includes storing the verification data in the at least one memory. The method further includes processing the input data with the at least one processor to produce actual output data. The method further includes comparing the actual output data to the expected output data. When the actual output data does not equal the expected output data, the method further includes storing at least one inconsistency between the actual output data and the expected output data. | 02-24-2011 |
