20130090734 | Sac for use in spinal surgery - A method for fusing spinal bone is provided. The method comprises placing a sac between two or more adjacent sections of the spine to be fused, and filling the sac with bone tissue. The surfaces of the sac abutting the sections of the spine comprise porous material for allowing bone to grow between the spine and the sac. Surfaces of the sac not abutting the sections of the spine are nonporous to bodily fluids and thereby prevent premature deterioration of the bone tissue inside the sac. A sac for fusing spinal bone and a kit comprising the sac are also provided. | 04-11-2013 |

20130167274 | Avocado tree named 'Pflum's Best' - A new avocado variety called ‘Pflum's Best’ that displays an early fruiting season, precocity, vigorous growth, tolerance to wet soil, and large maroon fruit. The variety is also selected for its resistance and tolerance to common avocado diseases and various insects. Additionally, ‘Pflum's Best’ bears fruit earlier, by one to three years, than its male parent ‘Brogdon’ and female parent ‘Choquette.’ The characteristic maroon skin of the fruit of ‘Pflum's Best’ has a subtle texture and may be somewhat mottled with a light green color, and the flesh has an exceptionally delicious taste that is buttery and nutty. The fruit of ‘Pflum's Best’ is approximately 6-11 inches in length, 4.5 inches in diameter, and approximately 25 ounces when ripe. | 06-27-2013 |

20100165934 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR RESOURCE ALLOCATION IN AN ORTHOGONAL FREQUENCY DIVISION MULTIPLEXING COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - A method and Node B are disclosed for allocation of “sticky” resources in an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing communication system. The Node B comprises a scheduler that is configured to make a sticky resource allocation to a user equipment, determine that a transmit power level allocated for transmissions to the user equipment should be adjusted, determine whether the resources allocated to the user equipment comprise a Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (QPSK) modulation scheme, and in response to determining that the resources allocated to the user equipment comprise a QPSK modulation scheme, adjust the allocated transmit power level without informing the user equipment of the adjustment. The Node B further may condition the determination to adjust the allocated transmit power level without informing the UE of the adjustment based on a size of the adjustment. | 07-01-2010 |

20140176115 | Resonant Signal Sensing Circuit Having a Low Power Mode - An apparatus includes a sensor circuit to receive a varying signal at an input of the apparatus. The sensor circuit provides a sensor signal corresponding to a measurement of the varying signal. The apparatus further includes a timer circuit to generate a signal at various intervals of a plurality of intervals and a controller coupled to the sensor circuit. The controller has a first power mode and a second power mode, where the first power mode has a lower power consumption than the second power mode. The controller enters the second power mode in response to the signal from the timer circuit. The controller enables the sensor circuit, captures a plurality of measurements of the varying signal, and returns to the first power mode. | 06-26-2014 |

20090168939 | HARDWARE SYNCHRONIZER FOR 802.15.4 RADIO TO MINIMIZE PROCESSING POWER CONSUMPTION - A method is disclosed for controlling the operation of a low power radio platform that realizes the physical layer (PHY) with a software portion and an analog front end, the analog front end disposed between the DSP and an antenna, and realizes the MAC layer with a microcontroller unit (MCU). The DSP, analog front end and MCU are maintained in a low power mode of operation when not in data communication. When data communication is initiated, a hardware controller controls at least one hardware interface disposed between the DSP and the analog front end to initiate multiple time based tasks to transfer data to and from a buffer. During the execution of these tasks, the controller causes a task in the DSP to be initiated for processing of data in the buffers and, upon completion of at least one of the tasks, notifying the MCU of such. The controller controls the hardware interface to terminate operation when predetermined time based events have occurred. The MCU in at least one mode of operation thereof is operable to initiate the operation of the hardware controller and then convert to a low power mode of operation to await notification. | 07-02-2009 |
20110290036 | Performing Metering Using Pulse Counting - An apparatus can include a first detector to receive a first signal from a first switch configured to open and close based on position of a metering wheel associated with a flow line. The apparatus can further include a first counter to count within a first range based on a change in a state of the first signal. Using this information, the apparatus can determine usage and direction of, e.g., a fluid or liquid flowing along the flow line. | 12-01-2011 |
20110291678 | Low Power Metering Using Pulse Counting - A metering system can include a pull up circuit to be selectively coupled between a voltage node and a metering line that communicates a signal indicative of status of a flow line through which a metered substance flows. An impedance of the pull up circuit is set to reduce power consumption based on a calibration, and the pull up circuit can be disabled between sampling of the signal to reduce power consumption. | 12-01-2011 |
