20090261653 | SINGLE-INPUT AND DUAL-OUTPUT POWER SUPPLY WITH INTEGRAL COUPLING FEATURE - A control and monitoring system power supply is described that receives a single power input and distributes power to two distinct segments of a control and monitoring system network. The power supply includes a single power input configured to receive AC from a power source and at least partially convert the AC power to an operable voltage for a network device. Further, the power supply includes dual power output drivers that share power from the single power input and distribute the power to distinct network cable segments. Each of the dual power output drivers is separate and common grounded with respect to the other. | 10-22-2009 |
20090265566 | ON-MACHINE POWER SUPPLY WITH INTEGRAL COUPLING FEATURES - A power supply for providing power to devices in a network is described as incorporating an integral coupling feature that terminates the provision of power from an upstream power supply while maintaining connectivity of communications signals and ground from an upstream portion to a downstream portion of the network relative to the power supply. The power supply includes a logic feature that monitors a power status of an upstream power supply and/or its own power status. When the logic feature detects a power cycle, it initiates a coordinated power cycle of the associated power supply and/or other networked power supplies. | 10-22-2009 |
20090265571 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR EMPLOYING AN ON-MACHINE POWER SUPPLY WITH MONITORING AND CONTROL CAPABILITY - A method for providing power to devices in a network and coordinating actions of multiple power supplies on the network is described. The method may include maintaining connectivity of communication signals and ground between upstream and downstream portions of the network relative to a power supply, while terminating power from an upstream power supply and taking over power supply functions for downstream devices. This may be achieved by including a logic feature within one or more of the multiple power supplies that monitors a power status of an upstream power supply and/or the power status of the associated power supply. When the logic feature detects a power cycle, it initiates a coordinated power cycle of the associated power supply and/or other networked power supplies. | 10-22-2009 |

20110064967 | Highly durable first surface silver based optical coatings and method of making the same - A highly durable, environmentally and thermally stable Silver coating for mirrors, Infrared thin-film filters, or other optical coatings having very high reflection values over a large spectral and angular range where the enhanced durability and thermal stability are achieved through the selection and layer sequence of materials, which provide good chemical and environmental protection to Silver. Of particular importance are the layers directly below the Silver, and directly above the Silver (nucleation layer and barrier layer). It is important that the materials of those two layers provide diffusion barriers for Oxygen, water vapour and other corrosive gases, and are compatible in such a way that the layer below the Silver provides a good nucleation bed for Silver assuring that Silver will grow dense and highly reflective, and in some cases, when deposited in very thin layers, highly transparent in the visible spectrum, and the material of the layer directly above the Silver layer has to be compatible with Silver in a sense that it grows dense on the top of Silver, does not reduce the reflectivity of Silver, and also provides a good nucleation layer for the next layer being deposited. | 03-17-2011 |

20160070727 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR BUILDING A SEARCH INDEX FOR A DATABASE - Methods and apparatus for building a search index for a database are disclosed. When an incremental build trigger is detected (e.g., a threshold number of documents are added to database), the system determines which sub-indexes need to be updated and which sub-indexes do not need to be updated. Rather than update the affected sub-indexes directly, the system builds new sub-indexes to replace the affected sub-indexes. Database queries that occur during the generation of the replacement sub-indexes use the old sub-indexes. When the new sub-indexes are ready, the system moves pointers from the old sub-indexes to the new sub-indexes so that subsequent database queries use the new sub-indexes. | 03-10-2016 |
