20100332846	SCALABLE INDEXING - Method and apparatus for constructing an index that scales to a large number of records and provides a high transaction rate. New data structures and methods are provided to ensure that an indexing algorithm performs in a way that is natural (efficient) to the algorithm, while a non-uniform access memory device sees IO (input/output) traffic that is efficient for the memory device. One data structure, a translation table, is created that maps logical buckets as viewed by the indexing algorithm to physical buckets on the memory device. This mapping is such that write performance to non-uniform access SSD and flash devices is enhanced. Another data structure, an associative cache is used to collect buckets and write them out sequentially to the memory device as large sequential writes. Methods are used to populate the cache with buckets (of records) that are required by the indexing algorithm. Additional buckets may be read from the memory device to cache during a demand read, or by a scavenging process, to facilitate the generation of free erase blocks.	12-30-2010
20110022566	FILE SYSTEM - A digitally signed file system in which data, metadata and files are objects, each object having a globally unique and content-derived fingerprint and wherein object references are mapped by the fingerprints; the file system has a root object comprising a mapping of all object fingerprints in the file system, such that a change to the file system results in a change in the root object, and tracking changes in the root object provides a history of file system activity.	01-27-2011

20100006262	MOTOR COOLING APPLICATIONS - A cooling system is provided for a motor powering a compressor in a vapor compression system. The cooling system includes a housing enclosing the motor, and a cavity located within the housing. A fluid circuit circulates a cooling fluid in the motor, the fluid circuit having a first connection in the housing to receive cooling fluid, and a second connection in the housing to remove cooling fluid in fluid communication with the loop. The fluid circuit includes a passageway for cooling fluid positioned in an internal chamber formed in a motor shaft.	01-14-2010
20100006264	MOTOR COOLING APPLICATIONS - A cooling system is provided for a motor powering a compressor in a vapor compression system. The cooling system including a housing and a cavity within the housing. A first fluid circuit has a first connection to receive a refrigerant into the cavity, and a second connection to deliver refrigerant from the cavity to a heat exchanger for a heat transfer relationship with a heat-generating component.	01-14-2010

20080197103	Sealing Element for Vessel or Container Closures Having Improved Barrier Properties - Described is a closure for a container. The closure element has a sealing element which contains a thermoplastic polymer; an effective absorbing amount of a cyclodextrin material; and at least one amide lubricant. The cyclodextrin material may be α-cyclodextrin, β-cyclodextrin, γ-cyclodextrin, derivatives of α-cyclodextrin, derivatives of β-cyclodextrin and derivatives of γ-cyclodextrin and mixtures thereof. The sealing element forms an effective barrier against volatile migrant contaminants, such as aromatic substances, trichloroanisole, aldehydes or ketones, and reduces the contamination with oxidative decomposition products resulting from the lubricant.	08-21-2008
20090075064	Fiber Material Having Improved Malodor Scavenger Properties - Described are fiber materials having improved malodor scavenger properties and a process for the manufacture of said materials. In particular, described are fiber materials usable in the manufacture of disposable or washable diapers, incontinent products, sanitary napkins and other such hygiene and personal care articles with improved malodor scavenger properties, and to methods of manufacturing such materials. It has been found that the incorporation of, especially nanosized, metal particles and/or a cyclodextrin material into fibers creates a “reactive” material having excellent malodor scavenging properties. More specifically, it has been found that the presence of nanosized metal or metal alloy particles and/or a cyclodextrin material in a fiber material, preferably a synthetic polymer material and more preferably a synthetic thermoplastic polymer fiber material leads to fiber materials or nonwovens having odor-controlling properties. The fiber material especially is useful in the manufacture of hygienic products like disposable diapers.	03-19-2009

20100247825	MALODOR ABSORBENT POLYMER AND FIBER - Thermoplastic polyolefin polymer composition, polymer chip, fiber, woven or nonwoven fabric, film, closures, laminates can comprise a polymer, a polymer and a nonvolatile polymer-compatible carboxylic acid. Thermoplastic polyolefin polymer composition can also comprise a polymer, a cyclodextrin-modified polymer and a nonvolatile polymer-compatible carboxylic acid. The carboxylic acid moiety of the polymer composition can react with basic materials in the polymer environment and reduce release of the basic material. The cyclodextrin can act to absorb or trap other contaminants or odors in the environment.	09-30-2010
20100247826	Malodor Absorbent Polymer and Fiber - Thermoplastic polyolefin polymer composition, polymer chip, fiber, woven or nonwoven fabric, film, closures, laminates can comprise a polymer, a polymer and a nonvolatile polymer-compatible carboxylic acid. Thermoplastic polyolefin polymer composition can also comprise a polymer, a cyclodextrin-modified polymer and a nonvolatile polymer-compatible carboxylic acid. The carboxylic acid moiety of the polymer composition can react with basic materials in the polymer environment and reduce release of the basic material. The cyclodextrin can act to absorb or trap other contaminants or odors in the environment.	09-30-2010
20110143004	MATURATION OR RIPENING INHIBITOR RELEASE FROM POLYMER, FIBER, FILM, SHEET OR PACKAGING - Thermoplastic polyolefin polymer compositions, polymer chips, fibers, woven or nonwoven fabrics, films, closures, and laminates include a polymer and cyclodextrin compound with a volatile maturation inhibitor or an olefinic ethylene receptor antagonist in respiring produce materials. The polymer composition can also include a cyclodextrin-modified polymer or a substituted cyclodextrin. Olefinic ethylene inhibitors can be formed in the cyclodextrin composition, wherein the cyclodextrin releases the olefinic inhibitor composition when used in produce packaging materials. Coating compositions can also be made. The inhibitor is introduced into the materials and is released under controlled conditions of humidity. Upon release, the olefinic inhibitor blocks ethylene receptor sites on proteins that control maturation and can produce an extended period during which the produce does not substantially complete maturation or ripening to a degree leading to spoilage.	06-16-2011
