| 20100221069 | Mobile, Year-Round Arctic Drilling System - A mobile, year-round drilling system (MYADS) for drilling offshore wells and/or performing other offshore activities at multiple, successive locations in an arctic or sub-arctic environment is provided. The present invention combines the ability to move to different locations and the strength to resist ice loading when on location and when ice-covering is present in the arctic or sub-arctic environment. The MYADS applies a multiple leg “jack-up” concept in which supporting legs are lowered through a hull to touch down on the seabed and elevate the hull out of the water. | 09-02-2010 |

| 20110029693 | RESERVING PCI MEMORY SPACE FOR PCI DEVICES - Embodiments include methods, apparatus, and systems for reserving memory space for Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) devices. One embodiment includes a method that determines peripheral devices that are connected to a host computer through a PCI switch or PCI bridge and then presents virtual devices as being connected to the PCI switch or PCI bridge. Bus numbers and memory are reserved for the virtual devices and assigned to PCI devices that are hot plugged to the host computer. | 02-03-2011 |

| 20110004688 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PERFORMING A HOST ENUMERATION PROCESS - A method and apparatus for host enumeration process. One embodiment of the method provides a bit to indicate to the host whether enumeration process should start or continue. The bit may be set when the shared resource process has been successfully completed, or the bit may be set if too much time has elapsed since the shared resource process has started, or the bit may be set if too much time has elapsed before the shared resource process is started, or the bit may be set if the shared resource process has not been performed successfully, or the bit may be set if the port is open and it is unnecessary to perform the shared resource process. | 01-06-2011 |
| 20110016235 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR TRANSFORMING PCIE SR-IOV FUNCTIONS TO APPEAR AS LEGACY FUNCTIONS - A system for transforming a single root input/output virtualization (SR-IOV) function to appear as a legacy function, and a corresponding method includes a switch platform coupled between a legacy host and a SR-IOV-enabled device. The switch platform includes a processor programmed to discern configuration cycles by type and to process the configuration cycles, and one or more local registers that store data related to the configuration cycles. | 01-20-2011 |

| 20080293453 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR AN AUDIO-LINKED REMOTE INDICATOR FOR A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION DEVICE - A remote ring monitor for a mobile communications device comprises an audio sensor to detect a sound signal emitted by the monitored device and one or more indicators which may provide visual, auditory or tactile alert signals to the user. A plurality of indicators may be used to indicate various different audio signals received. The audio sensor may comprise a microphone, a codec and digital signal processor. In certain embodiments, an encoded ring tone is downloaded to a mobile communications device to be monitored so as to enhance the selectivity of the monitoring device. The audio sensor may be remote from the indicator and the two may be in communication via a radio-frequency link. | 11-27-2008 |

| 20110145743 | LOCKING RELATIONSHIPS AMONG PARAMETERS IN COMPUTER PROGRAMS - Some embodiments provide a method for locking in a mathematical relationship between a set of at least two parameters in a computer program. The method selects a first parameter. The method defines a mathematical relationship that ties the value of the first parameter to the value of a second parameter. In some embodiments, the mathematical relationship can be a mathematical function, a Boolean function, or a lookup table. The relationship could be directly entered by the user, or the computer program itself could derive it from the user's actions. In some embodiments, the first parameter can be locked to the mathematical relationship. The lock prevents the value of that parameter from being changed, except by changing the value of the second parameter. Some embodiments implement this method by using a GUI with an intuitive set of controls. | 06-16-2011 |
| 20120011441 | VISUALLY ENCODING NODES REPRESENTING STAGES IN A MULTI-STAGE VIDEO COMPOSITING OPERATION - Some embodiments of the invention provide a user interface of editing video through a multi-stage editing process. The user interface selects a particular stage in the editing process. A particular editing operation is performed on a set of video images during the particular stage. After the selection of the particular stage, the user interface uses a background rendering process to render the result of the particular editing operation on the particular set of video images. The background rendering process is a process that the user interface performs separately from the multi-stage video editing process, so that a user may continue editing the video sequence while the rendering occurs. Some embodiments provide a preview of the rendering process in a preview window. Some of these embodiments update the preview in real time. In some embodiments, the rendering occurs to a temporary location and then stores to a persistent storage. In some of these embodiments, an entry for the stored render's location is logged in a list of entries that allows the stored render to be catalogued and retrieved from the persistent storage. The temporary location and the persistent storage can be part of a non-volatile memory such as a hard drive. | 01-12-2012 |
