| 20110268489 | Linear Roll Tensioning System for Continuous Web Printer - An improved back tensioning system for a roll fed printer is provided. A spring loaded arm keeps a roller in direct contact with the outer diameter of the unwind roll. The roller is coupled to a slip clutch that exerts a constant force against the roll of media. Since this system does not apply a torque about the axis of rotation, as was the case in the prior art, the back tension does not vary with unwind roll size. As a result, linear back tension is provided in a manner that critically improves web handling and the printing process. As a result the problem is eliminated by applying resistance directly to the outer diameter of the roll of media. | 11-03-2011 |

| 20090170584 | INTERACTIVE SCENARIO EXPLORATION FOR TOURNAMENT-STYLE GAMING - A tournament-style gaming scenario exploration system and method for interactively exploring current and future scenarios of a tournament and associated pick'em pool. The system and method include a prediction module (including a game constraint sub-module), and a key event detection module. Embodiments of the prediction module include a binary integer that represents tournament outcomes. The prediction module generates predictions of tournament outcomes using an exhaustive or a sampling technique. The sampling technique includes random sampling, where the tournament bracket is randomly sampled, and a weighted sampling technique, which sample portions of the tournament bracket more densely than others areas. Embodiments of the game constraint sub-module allow real-world results constraints and user-supplied constraints to be imposed on the tournament outcomes. Embodiments of the key event detection module identify key games in the tournament that affect a user's placement in the pick'em pool, a competitor's placement in the tournament standings, or both. | 07-02-2009 |

| 20100332513 | CACHE AND INDEX REFRESHING STRATEGIES FOR VARIABLY DYNAMIC ITEMS AND ACCESSES - Many computing scenarios involve an item cache or index, comprising items corresponding to source items that may change without notice, rendering the item in the item cache or index stale. It may not be possible to guarantee the freshness of the items, but it may be desirable to reduce staleness in an efficient manner. Therefore, the refreshing of items may be prioritized by first predicting the query frequency of respective item representing the rate at which an item is retrieved from the item cache (e.g., by monitoring queries for the item), predicting an update frequency representing the rate at which the source item is updated by the source item host (e.g., by classifying the source item type), and computing a refresh utility representing the improvement in cache freshness achieved by refreshing the item. Respective items may then be prioritized for refreshing according to the computed refresh utilities. | 12-30-2010 |
