Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100318987BOOTSTRAPPING STREAMED AND VIRTUALIZED APPLICATIONS - Technologies are described herein for bootstrapping streamed and virtualized applications from a network. Bootstrapping features may be deployed entirely over hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) or other file download, or file transfer, mechanisms. A bootstrap loader, or bootstrapper, may provide the user interface (UI) elements during launch of an application from a network. Prerequisites, system requirements, languages, and localization for the application may be supported. Consistent UI elements may be presented starting with the bootstrapper through to the streaming and initial execution of the application. Consistent UI elements and rapid streamed downloading can provide a user with a boot-like user experience even for an online click-to-run application being streamed from a network.12-16-2010
20100318988MITIGATING USER INTERRUPTION FOR PARTIALLY DOWNLOADED STREAMED AND VIRTUALIZED APPLICATIONS. - Technologies are described herein for mitigating user interruption for partially downloaded or streamed virtual applications from a network, such as the Internet. A memory abstraction module can monitor page faults related to memory requests. A page fault may result from a memory request to load code that is not currently available and may trigger the retrieval of code from the network. A monitoring module may identify the quantity or frequency of page faults resulting in code fetches over the network. When the quantity or frequency of fetches over the network exceeds one or more thresholds, an indication of potential delay may be provided to the user. Modified code within an application can trigger download of a collection of code related to specific functionality within the application referred to as wrapped functionality. The user may be provided with a cancel button, or other mechanism, to abort the wrapped download.12-16-2010

20100264519GATE TRIM PROCESS USING EITHER WET ETCH OR DRY ETCH APPRAOCH TO TARGET CD FOR SELECTED TRANSISTORS - Disclosed are methods and devices for targeting CD of selected transistors in a semiconductor device. Varying CD is done by forming hard mask lines in a hard mask layer that have varying amounts of spacer material associated therewith. Hard mask lines corresponding to selected transistors are either left covered or uncovered by a resist applied over the hard mask layer. Then, spacer material is selectively removed from the hard mask lines to vary the width of hard mask lines and associated side wall spacers. A gate layer is then etched through the spaces in the hard mask lines to form gate lines having varying widths and targeted CD.10-21-2010

20100243931LINEAR MOTOR VALVE - A valve having a valve body having spaced inlet and outlet ports separated by an intermediate valve seat in open communication with the inlet and outlet ports includes a piston and a valve member being adapted to sealingly mate with the valve seat. A biasing member is positioned to bias the valve member toward the valve seat. A linear motor assembly attached to the valve body, the linear motor having a plurality of stator discs, a plurality of stator coils, a plurality of teeth defining a cylindrical opening, and a slider positioned within the cylindrical opening. The slider has a plurality of teeth defining a generally cylindrical outer periphery of the slider and is movable in response to magnetic flux generated by electrical current passing through one or more of the stator coils.09-30-2010

20100099011ELECTRODE MORPHOLOGY VIA USE OF HIGH BOILING POINT CO-SOLVENTS IN ELECTRODE INKS - A method and device for operating a fuel cell system. The method includes applying a catalyst ink or related liquid that contains an electrocatalyst and electrolyte to a diffusion media so that the portion of the media that includes the electrocatalyst can function as a fuel cell electrode, specifically an anode or cathode. In addition to the electrocatalyst and electrolyte, the ink contains a solvent and a co-solvent, where the co-solvent has a boiling point that exceeds that of the solvent. Heating or related processing removes the solvent from the diffusion layer, but leaves at least some of the co-solvent in liquid form. This residual liquid reduces the likelihood of electrode cracking that may otherwise form during subsequent electrode processing.04-22-2010

20080254038Immunogen adherence inhibitor directed to lactobacillus organisms and method of making and using it - A microbial adherence inhibitor specific to lactic acid producing microorganisms, in the form of fowl egg antibodies is disclosed, along with the method of making it and methods of using it. The inhibitor functions by substantially preventing the attachment or adherence of colony-forming immunogens in the fermentators. The inhibitor is made by inoculating female birds with the immunogen, allowing time for an immune response in the female bird and then harvesting the eggs that contain antibodies to the immunogen. The egg contents can be dried or used as a liquid and added to the media in the fermentators. Dependent upon the particular immunogen with which the female bird is inoculated, the egg antibody will specifically bind to the specific immunogen. When bacteria such as 10-16-2008
20080311129ADHERENCE INHIBITOR DIRECTED TO AND METHOD OF MAKING AND USING - A method for the production of antibodies or microbial adherents administers is disclosed. The antibodies or microbial adherents inhibitors are administered to a patient suffering from strep throat to substantially prevent the adherents of colony-forming immunogens or haptens in the throat of the patient. Application of the antibodies should decrease the colonization of the oropharnyx, and therefore decrease symptoms of the sore inflamed throat and ultimately decrease the need for antibiotics.12-18-2008

20080298604In-room acoustic magnitude response smoothing via summation of correction signals - A system and method are provided for smoothing the in-room acoustic magnitude response of an audio reproduction system. An in-room acoustic magnitude response analysis is performed to determine a room resonance induced peak associated with an audio signal. A replica of the audio signal is filtered at the room resonance induced peak. The filtered replica signal is added with the audio signal. Through this, smoothing of the room resonance induced peak may be achieved, such that a subjective impression of transient response and dynamics of the audio signal are preserved.12-04-2008

20110071479Blood Vessel Access Instrument with Vessel Entry Indicator - A surgical instrument for administering fluids and having a vessel entry indicator to confirm proper placement of the surgical instrument within the vessel includes a vessel access member adapted for accessing a blood vessel and having insertion and trailing ends. The access member defines a primary lumen for administering fluids to the blood vessel and a secondary lumen. A pressure detector is in fluid communication with the secondary lumen. The pressure detector is adapted to detect pressure associated with a disposition of the insertion end of the access member in the blood vessel. The access member may define a port adjacent the leading end and in fluid communication with the secondary lumen. In one embodiment, the secondary lumen is independent of the primary lumen. The pressure detector may include a float valve responsive to pressure of blood entering from the blood vessel through the port and into the secondary lumen. In the alternative, the pressure detector includes a pressure gauge. The pressure gauge is adapted to register pressure associated with a presence of blood entering from the blood vessel through the port and into the secondary lumen.03-24-2011
