| 20090249024 | Address generation for quadratic permutation polynomial interleaving - For address generation, a block size and a skip value are obtained, and at least one address, at least one increment value, and a step value are initialized. For a count index not in excess of a block size, iteratively performed are: selection of an output address for output from at least one phase responsive to at least the at least one address; first update of the at least one address as being equal to summation of the at least one increment and the at least one address modulo the block size; and second update of the at least one increment as being equal to summation of the at least one increment and the step value modulo the block size. The selection and the first and second updates are iteratively repeated responsive to increments of the count index to output a sequence of addresses. | 10-01-2009 |

| 20090071915 | Tire support stand - The tire support stand is designed to support an array of tires in substantially upright positions for convenient display or processing. The stand includes a T-shaped base. A post extends upwardly and angularly from the base. Tire tread-engaging members are disposed on the base. A tire-engaging member is disposed at the upper end of the post. Brace support members are attached to the base and post to ensure stability. A handle is provided on the post to enhance portability. | 03-19-2009 |

| 20100040374 | INTEGRATION OF LASER SOURCES AND DETECTORS FOR A PASSIVE OPTICAL NETWORK - Various methods and apparatuses are described in which an array of optical gain mediums capable of lasing are contained in a single integral unit. The array may contain four or more optical gain mediums capable of lasing. Each optical gain medium capable of lasing supplies a separate optical signal containing a band of wavelengths different than the other optical gain mediums capable of lasing in the array to a first multiplexer/demultiplexer. A connection for an output fiber exists to route an optical signal to and from a passive optical network. | 02-18-2010 |

| 20080271928 | Interchangeable load cell assemblies - A mass-based dispensing system includes a set of interchangeable load cell assemblies. The load cell assemblies are sized to be interchangeably received into a mass-based product dispenser. Each of the interchangeable load cell assemblies has a maximum rated load that is different from the maximum rated load of the other load cell assemblies. The interchangeable load cell assemblies are substantially modular (i.e., have substantially similar external geometries), thus enabling the product dispenser to interchangeably receive the load cells. The interchangeable load cell assemblies enable a single product dispenser to accommodate a broad range of differently weighted products and/or product containers. | 11-06-2008 |
| 20100147876 | LOW AND EMPTY PRODUCT DETECTION USING LOAD CELL AND LOAD CELL BRACKET - A system and method detect when a product container from which a product is dispensed is empty or nearly empty, and provides a notification of the product status. The system includes a load cell that deflects at a first rate of distance per unit load when a load less than a critical load is positioned to be weighed by the load cell, and a load cell bracket positioned such that the free end of the load cell contacts the load cell bracket when a load substantially equal to or greater than the critical load is positioned to be weighed by the load cell. The load cell bracket may prevent the load cell from further deflection, or it may permit deflection of the load cell at a second rate of distance per unit load when the load cell is in contact with the load cell bracket. The system may generate an out-of-product notification when the amount of product dispensed is substantially equal to zero, a low product notification when the amount of the product remaining is less than a threshold weight or a proof-of-delivery notification. | 06-17-2010 |
