| 20100189168 | SYSTEM, METHOD AND DEVICE FOR AUTONEGOTIATION - Disclosed are a system, method and device for negotiating a data transmission mode over an attachment unit interface (DDI). A data transceiver circuit may be coupled to one or more data lanes of the DDI. A negotiation section may receive a link pulse signal on at least one data lane in the DDI during a negotiation period and selectively configure the data transceiver to transmit and receive data on one or more data lanes according to a data transmission mode based upon the received link pulse signal. | 07-29-2010 |

| 20100228964 | Ethernet PHY Level Security - A system and method are provided for securing links at the physical (PHY) layer in an IEEE 802.3 Ethernet communication system. A local device (LD) receives an electrical waveform representing link partner security information from a network-connected link partner (LP) via unformatted message pages. The LD accesses predetermined LP reference information stored in a tangible memory medium. The LD compares the received LP security information to the LP reference information. In response to the LD matching the received LP security information to the LP reference information, a secure link to the LP is verified. Likewise, the LD may send electrical waveforms representing security information to the LP via the unformatted message pages. In response to the LP matching the LD security information to the LD reference information, a secure link to the LD is verified. | 09-09-2010 |
| 20100293441 | System and Method for Accelerated Forward Error Correction (FEC) Synchronization - A system and method are provided for accelerating forward error correction (FEC) synchronization in a communicating receiver. On the transmitter side, the method accepts an energy waveform representing a packet of data symbols, encodes the packet, and creates an FEC block. Prior to transmitting the FEC block, an electromagnetic waveform is transmitted representing an FEC flag character. Then, an electromagnetic waveform representing the FEC block is transmitted a predetermined first period of time after the transmission of the FEC flag character. For example, the first time period may be immediately following the FEC flag character transmission or a predetermined number of idle characters following the transmission of the FEC flag character. | 11-18-2010 |

| 20100114796 | COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR SELECTING AN INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO BASED IN PART ON SOCIALLY RESPONSIBLE INVESTING CONSIDERATIONS - A computer program product is provided for selecting a recommended investment portfolio based in part on socially responsible considerations. A portfolio of securities is identified for potential inclusion in the recommended investment portfolio. Socially responsible investing (SRI) scores are provided for the identified securities, and the identified securities are ranked relative to each other based on their SRI scores in a computerized ranking engine. A processor receives an entry of initial weightings for each of the identified securities, or data by which initial weightings for each of the identified securities can be objectively calculated; the ranking of the identified securities based on their SRI scores; and an SRI multiplier algorithm that is correlated with the relative ranking. The initial weightings or the data are unadjusted by socially responsible considerations. The processor uses a weighting calculation engine to calculate adjusted weightings for the portfolio of securities using at least the entered items. Securities having higher ranked SRI scores relative to other securities receive greater weightings, and the weightings include non-binary weightings. The processor outputs the adjusted weightings for the portfolio of securities. The adjusted weightings are used to select the recommended investment portfolio based in part on socially responsible considerations. | 05-06-2010 |

| 20090094736 | Whirlpool jet with improved cutoff switch - A jet for use in a whirlpool tub or spa according to a first aspect of the invention includes a motor assembly including an electric motor disposed inside a motor housing, which motor housing includes a frontwardly facing, water-tight recess. Suitable means are provided for mounting the motor assembly in a hole in a tub wall. A centrifugal pump assembly used in the jet includes a rotor-impeller having a rear, magnetically attractable rotor disposable in the recess of the motor assembly and a front set of blades. A cover having water inlet and outlet openings is removably securable over the rotor-impeller. A sensor system is provided which can be connected to the motor to shut off the motor when the cover is removed from the centrifugal pump assembly. The sensor system includes a sensor target disposed on a rear surface of the cover, and a sensor disposed on or near the pump assembly, such that the sensor detects the sensor target only when the cover is secured over the centrifugal pump assembly in one or more predetermined positions. | 04-16-2009 |

| 20090021989 | PROGRAMMABLE BIAS FOR A MEMORY ARRAY - A method determines a body bias for a memory cell. A supply voltage is applied to the memory cell and a bit line is precharged to a voltage lower than the supply voltage. A programmable bias voltage circuit provides a bias voltage to the memory cell in response to values on its input. Initial test values for the input are used. The memory cell is tested to determine a pass or a fail condition of the memory cell. The initial values are retained as the input values if the memory cell passes. If the memory cell fails, the memory cell is tested at changed values for the input. If the changed input values result in the memory cell being in a pass condition, the programmable bias voltage circuit is configured, in non-volatile fashion, to have the changed input values. | 01-22-2009 |
