Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080302114STORAGE SYSTEMS - A system for storing articles can have at least two operating modes. In the first mode, gases are evacuated from the system whereby the articles are stored at a pressure less than the pressure at the exterior of the system. In the second mode, gases are evacuated while the system is open to the admittance of gases from the exterior of the system whereby the articles are ventilated by the admitted gases. The system also can have a third operating mode wherein both the first and second modes are rendered inoperative. The storage system can function so that when the articles are stored in the first mode, gases are intermittently removed from the system whereby the pressure at which the articles are stored is maintained at less than the pressure at the exterior of the system. The storage system can be located in a refrigeration appliance such as a household refrigerator.12-11-2008
20080302441STORAGE COMPARTMENT - A storage compartment comprises an external enclosure having an opening and a holding compartment that is capable of being inserted into and withdrawn from the interior of the external enclosure through the opening in the external enclosure. Stored articles are contained within the holding compartment. The external enclosure and the holding compartment have coacting surfaces, and a seal is interposed between those coacting surfaces for sealing off the interior of the holding compartment to the entry of gases when the holding compartment is inserted into the external enclosure and the coacting surfaces of the external enclosure and the holding compartment are brought together in a sealing relationship with the seal. Complementary surfaces at the holding compartment and at the exterior of the external enclosure are in engagement with one another and provide surfaces along which the holding compartment travels when it is inserted into and withdrawn from the interior of the external enclosure.12-11-2008

20080250309Method for loading and displaying gridded data by determining the usefulness of a particular vertex - Method, computer executable program and apparatus for displaying massive amounts of potentially non-uniform gridded data through the use of view dependant refinement. An initial minimal representation is created. A view dependant refinement criterion is then used to ascertain the perceived quality. If necessary, refinements and decimations to the current representation are performed. The representation is then provided to graphics hardware for display.10-09-2008

20100008446TRANSCEIVER ARCHITECTURE WITH COMBINED SMART ANTENNA CALIBRATION AND DIGITAL PREDISTORTION - A method, apparatus, and electronic device for using digital predistortion are disclosed. A first transmitter 01-14-2010
20110053646SCALABLE SELF-CALIBRATING AND CONFIGURING RADIO FREQUENCY HEAD FOR A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - A method, a system and a device for implementing a scalable, self-calibrating and configuring, radio frequency head in a wireless base station that performs phase calibration for coherent combining of a pair of transmitter outputs. Configurable Antenna Calibration (CAC) logic initiates phase calibration for coherent combining by selecting a first configuration and triggering the transmission of a reference signal by radio frequency (RF) transmitters using different sub-carriers. The CAC logic generates a vector of phase values by comparing the reference signal with the respective signals received by a calibration receiver. The CAC logic also generates calibration coefficients for coherent combining by normalizing the phase values. In addition, a passive combiner mechanism is employed to implement coherent combining. The CAC logic performs calibration of smart antennas by providing calibration coefficients via a second configuration which utilizes both a calibration transmitter and the calibration receiver.03-03-2011

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110099266Maintaining Service Performance During a Cloud Upgrade - Systems, methods, and computer storage media for upgrading a domain in a distributed computing environment are provided. Upgrading of the domain includes preparing for the upgrade, upgrading, and finalizing the upgrade. The preparation of the domain includes ensuring predefined quantities of role instances are available in domains other than the upgrade domain. The preparation also includes ensuring that a predefined number of extent replicas are available in domains other than the upgrade domain. The preparation may also include checkpointing partitions within the upgrade domain to facilitate faster loading once transferred to a domain other than the upgrade domain. The finalization may include allowing nodes within the upgrade domain to resume functionality that was suspended during the upgrade.04-28-2011
20110119328Load Balancing In A Distributed Computing Environment - Systems, methods, and computer storage media for load balancing at a client device in a distributed computing environment based on a dynamic validity duration and utilization metrics of one or more data stores are provided. The client device selects a data store from a plurality of data stores that each maintains a copy of a datum. The selection of data stores by a client is based on utilization metrics of the data stores. The utilization metrics are stored at the client. A data store determines if a request for a particular datum may be fulfilled within a validity period associated with a request from the client. The validity period is dynamically changed by the client across multiple requests to aid in the load balancing process. Additionally, a gossip protocol may be used to propagate utilization metrics of a plurality of data stores across the system.05-19-2011
20110119437Sequentially Written Journal in a Data Store - Systems, methods, and computer storage media for storing and retrieving data from a data store in a distributed computing environment are provided. An embodiment includes receiving data at a data store comprising a sequential journal store, RAM, and a non-sequential target store. When RAM utilization is below a threshold, received data is stored to the RAM as a write cache for the target store and the journal store. But, when the utilization is above the threshold, the data is stored to the journal store without write-caching to the RAM for the target store. When the RAM utilization falls below a threshold, data committed to the journal store, but not write-cached to the RAM for the target store, is later read from the journal store and write-cached to the RAM for a target store.05-19-2011

20090065452Document Sorting Apparatus With Multiple-Position Wire Divider Members - A document sorting apparatus includes a base having a pair of parallel side rail members with apertures therein, the apertures distributed in a linear fashion along the length of the side rail members and each aperture in one of the side rail members aligned with a corresponding aperture in the opposite side rail member. Veins in the form of wire divider members are pivotally received in each pair of corresponding apertures. Segments of the wire divider members rest on a top surface of the side rail members when the wire divider member is in a rearwardly-inclined or forwardly-inclined position. The side rail members are provided with lateral extensions having ridges that secure the wire divider members in a vertical position by impeding the wire divider member from pivoting to inclined positions. The impedence of the ridges may be overcome with a deliberate application of force to the wire divider member.03-12-2009
20090065453Nesting and Stacking Document or File Sorter - A sorter has a pair of laterally spaced apart wire supports. A platform is disposed between the pair of wire supports. A plurality of dividers is spaced apart from one another along the wire supports. Each divider extends generally upward and laterally outward from a respective wire support. The sorter can be stacked upon and nested with multiple like sorters.03-12-2009
