| 20110107252 | TECHNIQUE FOR GENERATING AN ANALYSIS EQUATION - During a method, a hybrid graphical user interface (GUI), which is associated with electronic-design-automation (EDA) software, is displayed. This hybrid GUI allows users to efficiently specify useful analysis equations using textual and/or graphical information. In particular, the hybrid GUI has a first window that includes graphical objects associated with a circuit design. A user can select one or more of the graphical objects and associated electrical parameters using a user-interface device, such as a mouse. The hybrid GUI has a second window that has icons and other graphical controls that allow the construction of an analysis equation using the user-interface device. In addition, the hybrid GUI has a third window that includes an equation editor that provides a symbolic representation of an analysis equation based at least on one or more text entries provided by a user using a second user-interface device (such as a keyboard) and/or user selections of a given graphical object in the graphical objects and an associated electrical parameter. | 05-05-2011 |
| 20110107293 | SIMULATION-BASED DESIGN STATE SNAPSHOTTING IN ELECTRONIC DESIGN AUTOMATION - Some embodiments provide a system that performs a simulation within an electronic design automation (EDA) application. During operation, the system obtains a design from a user of the EDA application. Next, the system performs the simulation using the design to create a set of current simulation results associated with the design. The system then automatically saves a current design state of the design which is associated with the current simulation results. Finally, the system enables subsequent access to the current design state and one or more previous design states of the design by the user through a graphical user interface (GUI) associated with the EDA application. | 05-05-2011 |

| 20090064478 | Spool Valve Assembly Apparatus Using Air Vortex Insertion - The effects of an air bearing may be augmented in various ways in order to assist in the automated assembly of valve spools into valve bores. Such augmentation may be achieved by agitating one end of the valve spool with sequentially applied pulses of pressurized air as the spool is being lowered into the valve body, increasing the effective length of the valve spool so that the agitation can be applied to the spool when the spool is partially inserted into the body, varying the position of the valve spool while the spool is being inserted into the valve body to expose a length of the spool to the pulses of pressurized air, and applying an oscillating vibration to the fixture that supports the valve body to dislodge a spool that has become jammed in the valve bore. | 03-12-2009 |

| 20090294356 | BACKWASHING UNSATURATED WASTEWATER FILTER - A compact high efficiency combined biological and physical unsaturated wastewater treatment filter configured for periodic backwashing is disclosed. The filter utilizes packed media and removes pollutants and pathogens from wastewater and other dirty water sources. The filter comprises a periodic backwashing means to less the chance that biofilm growth will clog the media pores. However, such backwashing still leaves sufficient biofilm attached to the media to maintain a very high level of treatment. In the preferred embodiment, the filter utilizes high frequency dosing to cause pore saturation at or near the surface during dosing and shortly thereafter in order to maximize distribution uniformity and to induce downward airflow into the media. The system provides a number of unexpected benefits; including allowing a very low distribution pressure and providing high oxygen transfer at low energy utilization into the filter media for aerobic biodegradation of pollutants. | 12-03-2009 |

| 20090235589 | BREAKAWAY ELEMENTS FOR A HORIZONTAL SIDE-MOVING DOOR - A horizontal side-moving door with a side-winding curtain or horizontally translating panel includes a breakaway brace that helps hold a relatively rigid leading edge of the curtain or panel in a substantially vertical orientation. Should a forklift accidentally strike the leading edge of the curtain or panel, a replaceable shear pin incorporated in the brace breaks away to release the leading edge, thus protecting the edge from damage. Although the shear pin can break into two or more pieces, the brace includes means for holding the pieces in place and preventing them from falling and hitting anything underneath the pin. Although with some limitations, the door is still operational even while the pin is broken. | 09-24-2009 |
| 20090236051 | BOTTOM SEALS FOR A HORIZONTAL SIDE-ROLLING DOOR CURTAIN - A sideways rollup door with a horizontal side-rolling curtain includes a replaceable bottom seal that is zippered or otherwise removably connected to the curtain at an inclined joint. The inclination of the joint ensures that the joint wraps upon the curtain's take-up roller in an approximate helical pattern so as to prevent the joint from creating a concentrated bulge on the roller. In some cases, there is extra space underneath the roller to provide roll-up room for the bottom seal, which can be relatively thick. Such extra space could be further used to accommodate a seal joint and/or other curtain seams that are not necessarily inclined. | 09-24-2009 |
| 20090236052 | PLIABLE SHROUDS FOR A HORIZONTAL SIDE-ROLLING DOOR - A sideways rollup door with a horizontal side-rolling curtain includes a vertical roller that is shielded by a pliable shroud. The shroud is supported by a frame that includes a breakaway feature and/or readily replaceable frame elements. To access the roller for servicing, the frame elements allow the shroud to be selectively moved (without the use of tools) between an installed position and a retracted position. In some cases, the breakaway feature enables the shroud to break away in certain directions easier than others. In some embodiments, the shroud includes a seal that engages the curtain when the shroud is in the installed position. | 09-24-2009 |
| 20100218429 | UPPER SEAL FOR A HORIZONTAL SIDE-MOVING DOOR - An example of a horizontal side-moving door with a side-winding or horizontally translating curtain includes an upper seal comprising an upper edge of the curtain sliding within a groove of a seal guide. To protect the door in the event of an impact, at least a portion of the curtain's upper edge can restorably pull out from within the groove. To avoid damage in certain situations, the seal guide might resiliently deflect as well. After an impact, the curtain's upper edge is automatically fed back into the groove by simply opening and closing the door. During normal operation, the curtain's upper edge advantageously deflects in response to air pressure against either side of the door. In some examples, the seal guide is of a uniform cross-section, which makes the seal guide easy to manufacture by way of a conventional plastic extrusion process. | 09-02-2010 |

| 20090173311 | ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM FOR INCREASED VEHICLE FUEL ECONOMY - An engine control system comprises a driver input module, a cylinder actuation module, and an active fuel management (AFM) module. The driver input module generates a fuel saver mode (FSM) signal having a first state based upon a driver input. The cylinder actuation module selectively disables at least one of a plurality of cylinders of an engine based upon a deactivation signal having a first state. The AFM module generates the deactivation signal based on at least one engine parameter and at least one threshold. The at least one threshold is modified when the FSM signal has the first state. | 07-09-2009 |
| 20090194064 | METHOD TO OPTIMIZE FUEL ECONOMY BY PREVENTING CYLINDER DEACTIVATION BUSYNESS - A method of transitioning an engine to a cylinder deactivation mode may include determining a ratio of time that the engine is operating in the cylinder deactivation mode for an engine operating condition relative to a total time of engine operation in the operating condition, determining a number of transitions from a full cylinder mode to the cylinder deactivation mode during the operating condition, determining a transition modifier based on the ratio and number, and modifying a transition criterion based on the transition modifier. | 08-06-2009 |
