20090165007 | TASK-LEVEL THREAD SCHEDULING AND RESOURCE ALLOCATION - Task schedulers endeavor to share computing resources, such as the CPU, among many threads. However, the task scheduler may be unable to identify the resources that will be utilized by a thread, and may allocate resources inefficiently due to incorrect predictions of resource utility. Task scheduling may be improved by identifying the rate determining factors for various thread tasks comprising a thread, e.g., a first task that is rate-limited by a communications bus, a second task that is rate-limited by the CPU, and a third task that is rate-limited by a communications network. If the instructions are so identified, the operating system may be able to schedule tasks and to allocate resources based on the resources to be utilized by the threads, which may improve efficiency and computing performance. | 06-25-2009 |
20100242044 | ADAPTABLE SOFTWARE RESOURCE MANAGERS BASED ON INTENTIONS - User intentions can be derived from observations of user actions or they can be programmatically specified by an application or component that is performing an action. The intentions can then be utilized to adjust the operation of resource managers to better suit the actions being performed by the user or application, especially if such actions are not “typical”. Resource managers can inform a centralized intention manager of environmental constraints, including constraints on the resources they manage and constraints on their operation, such as various, pre-programmed independent modes of operation optimized for differencing circumstances. The intention manager can then instruct the resource managers in accordance with these environmental constraints when the intention manager is made aware of the intentions. If no further optimization can be achieved, specified intentions may not result in directives from the intention manager to the resource managers. | 09-23-2010 |
20130145385 | CONTEXT-BASED RATINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR MEDIA - This document describes techniques and apparatuses enabling context-based ratings and recommendations for media. The techniques and apparatuses can build and continually improve the predictive accuracy of a user's reaction history based on a context in which the user's reactions to media are sensed. Further, the techniques and apparatuses may take into account a current context of a user when a request for a rating or recommendation is made. Based on the user's reaction history and the user's current context, the techniques and apparatuses may provide accurate ratings and recommendations. | 06-06-2013 |

20140052027 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR REAL TIME MECHANICAL IMAGING OF PROSTATE - The present invention relates to a method for real time mechanical imaging of a prostate with a transrectal probe. In the method, generating a composite two- and three-dimensional prostate mechanical image from a plurality of partial mechanical images extracted from pressure response data and a probe orientation data starts with examining the prostate by pressing a probe head pressure sensor array against it at various overlapping locations. Merging of partial mechanical images together is accomplished by analyzing an overlap between each subsequent and previous partial mechanical image. Finding the prostate is assisted with a supplemental pressure response data indicating the location of a sphincter known to be about 4-5 cm away from the prostate. Data processing is improved by including probe orientation data to further increase the accuracy and sensitivity of the method. The probe is equipped with a two-dimensional head pressure sensor array, a supplemental shaft sensor array and orientation tracking sensors including a three-axis magnetic sensor and a two-axis accelerometer sensor for calculating elevation, rotation and azimuth angles of the probe. | 02-20-2014 |

20090215155 | Algae Producing Trough System - A trough lining assembly is placed in a series of troughs at a biomass processing facility. The trough lining assembly includes a waterproof liner that lies against the sides of a trough, an aerator, and a retention mechanism that retains the aerator at the bottom of the trough. The aerator provides continuous aeration of biomass present in the trough by releasing aerating gas into the biomass along the length of the trough. The continuous aeration also churns the biomass, exposing more of it to the aerating gas and to sunlight. The trough lining assembly improves the efficiency of algae production by stimulating photosynthesis and consumption of carbon dioxide.

20140375325 | BATTERY WITH REFERENCE ELECTRODE FOR VOLTAGE MONITORING - A lithium-ion battery structure with a third electrode as reference electrode is disclosed. The reference electrode may be fabricated from lithium metal, lithiated carbon, or a variety of other lithium-containing electrode materials. A porous current collector allows permeation of reference lithium ions from the reference electrode to the cathode or anode, enabling voltage monitoring under actual operation of a lithium-ion battery. The reference electrode therefore does not need to be spatially between the battery anode and cathode, thus avoiding a shielding effect. The battery structure includes an external reference circuit to dynamically display the anode and cathode voltage. The battery structure can result in improved battery monitoring, enhanced battery safety, and extended battery life. | 12-25-2014 |

20140372055 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR SENSING THE INTERNAL TEMPERATURE OF AN ELECTROCHEMICAL DEVICE - The internal temperature of an electrochemical device may be probed without a thermocouple, infrared detector, or other auxiliary device to measure temperature. Some methods include exciting an electrochemical device with a driving profile; acquiring voltage and current data from the electrochemical device, in response to the driving profile; calculating an impulse response from the current and voltage data; calculating an impedance spectrum of the electrochemical device from the impulse response; calculating a state-of-charge of the electrochemical device; and then estimating internal temperature of the electrochemical device based on a temperature-impedance-state-of-charge relationship. The electrochemical device may be a battery, fuel cell, electrolytic cell, or capacitor, for example. The procedure is useful for on-line applications which benefit from real-time temperature sensing capabilities during operations. These methods may be readily implemented as part of a device management and safety system. | 12-18-2014 |
