Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100229980MODULAR SYSTEM FOR INTRODUCING A STREAM OF PROCESSED GRAIN INTO AN ETHANOL PRODUCTION FACILITY, AND ASSOCIATED METHODS - A modular system is provided to introduce a grain containing a commercial enzyme into an ethanol production facility. The modular system comprises a plurality of portable storage units configured to receive a raw grain material. Each storage unit is adapted for transportation between ethanol production facilities. A portable processing unit is in communication with each of the storage units for receiving the grain material therefrom. The processing unit is configured to mix a grain containing a commercial enzyme with a commodity grain so that the enzyme is in effective amounts to sufficiently carry out downstream enzymatic applications. The processing unit is further configured to meter the processed grain material at appropriate admix levels to an ethanol production facility. The processing unit is adapted for transportation between ethanol production facilities. Associated apparatuses and methods are also provided.09-16-2010

20090276017Thermal therapy temperature sensor calibration method - A thermal therapy of body tissue with electromagnetic energy is controlled by feedback from one or more temperature sensors placed in the vicinity of the tissue to be treated. The temperature sensors are calibrated by comparing stabilized temperature values of the one or more temperature sensors against a normal range of body temperature and adjusting sensed temperature to a value within a normal body temperature range if the actual temperature value of a stabilized temperature sensor is less than the normal body temperature range. The temperature adjustment to the temperature sensor is maintained throughout the thermal therapy which reduces the risk of thermal damage to healthy tissue located near the tissue to be treated.11-05-2009
20100262137COOLED ANTENNA FOR DEVICE INSERTABLE INTO A BODY - A device for treating tissue, via a cooled antenna, within a body is described.10-14-2010
20110066145RF cosmetic rejuvenation device and procedure - An electrode especially useful for RF skin tightening procedures is characterized by an active front that is conical in part with the conical surface having a cone angle that is shallower than the corresponding angle in known electrodes. Preferably, the electrode of the invention has a conical section whose surface forms an angle greater than 60 degrees with the longitudinal axis of the electrode, and the outside diameter of the conical section is greater than 50% of the overall outside diameter of the electrode.03-17-2011

20100312233Radio-frequency treatment of skin tissue with shock-free handpiece - RF energy for skin conditioning with a non-ablative electrode is applied with a handpiece incorporating means to prevent electrical shock to the patient when the energized electrode surface makes or breaks contact with the skin. In a preferred embodiment, switch means are incorporated in the handpiece and configured such that the active electrode surface is not energized until it is in actual contact with the patient's skin, and remains energized only while the active electrode surface remains in contact with the patient's skin, so that no voltage is present on the electrode, when an air gap whose dielectric breakdown can cause an electrical shock to the patient arises, immediately before or immediately after skin contact during a skin conditioning procedure. In another preferred embodiment, the electrode to skin impedance change as the electrode touches the skin is used to activate a switch that transfers RF to the electrode.12-09-2010

20120023314PAIRED EXECUTION SCHEDULING OF DEPENDENT MICRO-OPERATIONS - A method and mechanism for reducing latency of a multi-cycle scheduler within a processor. A processor comprises a front end pipeline that determines data dependencies between instructions prior to a scheduling pipe stage. For each data dependency, a distance value is determined based on a number of instructions a younger dependent instruction is located from a corresponding older (in program order) instruction. When the younger dependent instruction is allocated an entry in a multi-cycle scheduler, this distance value may be used to locate an entry storing the older instruction in the scheduler. When the older instruction is picked for issue, the younger dependent instruction is marked as pre-picked. In an immediately subsequent clock cycle, the younger dependent instruction may be picked for issue, thereby reducing the latency of the multi-cycle scheduler.01-26-2012
