20130162292 | NON-LUT FIELD-PROGRAMMABLE GATE ARRAYS - New logic blocks capable of replacing the use of Look-Up Tables (LUTs) in integrated circuits, such as Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, the new logic block is an AND-Inverter Cone (AIC), which is a binary tree including one or more AND gates with a programmable conditional inversion and a number of intermediary outputs. Compared to LUTs, AICs are richer in terms of input and output bandwidth, because the area of the AICs grows only linearly with the number of inputs. Also, the delay grows only logarithmically with the input count. The new logic blocks can map circuits more efficiently than LUTs, because the AICs are multi-output blocks and can cover more logic depth due to the higher input bandwidth. | 06-27-2013 |

20120096635 | SAFETY SWIMMING POOL DRAIN APPARATUS THAT PREVENTS THE ENTRAPMENT OF A PERSON - The drain apparatus of the present invention is designed and configured to prevent the entrapment of a person by the suction or vacuum forces of a drain in a swimming pool, spa, or any other large body of water with a recirculation system. The drain apparatus of the present invention has a spring biased plunger that immediately closes the drain of a swimming pool, spa, or any other large body of water when a substantial portion of the drain cover is blocked or restricted. By closing the drain, the drain apparatus of the present invention eliminates any vacuum or suction pressure at or underneath the drain cover that entraps a person thus allowing the person to break free easily and immediately without any time delays. | 04-26-2012 |
20130061383 | HIGH FLOW WATER RETURN FITTING FOR SWIMMING POOLS AND SPAS - The high flow water return fitting of the present invention is designed to connect directly to the end of a water return pipe in a swimming pool, spa, or the like. Water return fittings have been available for many years and have the primary purpose of returning filtered water back into a swimming pool, spa, or the like. However, the water return fitting of the present invention does not only return water into the swimming pool, it also substantially increases the water outflow so that a greater area of water in the pool can be circulated or agitated. The present invention has a uniquely curved nozzle with a flat flange. Both the curvature of the nozzle and the flat flange promote the accumulation of water within the nozzle so as to build up pressure that then pushes the water out a small outlet hole at a greater rate than does a conventional water return fitting. The outflow from the nozzle then creates a low pressure condition within a mixing chamber. Thus, the low pressure condition draws water in from the swimming pool through various louvers into the mixing chamber where it is mixed with the outflow of water from the nozzle to increase the total amount of water flowing out of the water return fitting of the present invention. | 03-14-2013 |

20090019352 | Paradigm in multimedia services creation methodology, and new service creation and service execution environments - The present invention discloses a new paradigm in Multimedia Services Creation Methodology, and new Service Creation and Service Execution Environments, based on this methodology. A service designer can access the Service Creation Environment via a Web based Graphical User Interface (GUI), to design new service in an automated way. The design process includes creation of the Service Logic Script (SLS), and associated databases that are used for storage of service and subscriber related data. The service developer (user) assembles Language Graphical Objects (LGO) into Service Logic Script. LGOs are part of a new graphical language that has been developed to meet multimedia service creation needs. They represent service control and call control primitive functions that have to be performed, in order to provide a multimedia service to service subscribers. LGOs are independent of each other, they have attributes, and they pass a token to their next object(s) at certain points, as determined by their internal logic, during their execution. Therefore, several objects can be executing simultaneously at the same time. An object may change its internal state, including changing it to “in-active”, in reaction to some of the events it may receive from network and based on its internal logic. The service designer also defines service and user data as may be necessary to offer and execute the service. Data definitions are translated into database schema and the schema is used to create databases for service and subscriber information storage, and to generate Service Provisioning and Subscriber Tuning Forms. Subsequently, the service designer translates the service logic so defined, installs the results in a Service Execution Environment (SEE), and makes the service available for subscription and provisioning. A service manager provisions the service, and provides different service access authorization levels to the registered service subscribers. Service subscribers can fine-tune the service, and invoke it. | 01-15-2009 |
