20090143741MEDICAL LINE SECUREMENT DEVICE WITH LOCATING GUIDES - An anchoring system includes a securement device having an anchor pad with a flexible retainer opening that receives a portion of a medical article, such as a catheter, to hold it securely in place. A locating mechanism in the form of posts positions and holds the catheter in position and limits rotational movement of the catheter. The anchor pad is secured to a patient's skin by adhesive.06-04-2009

20100077164MEMORY-CONTROLLER-EMBEDDED APPARATUS AND PROCEDURE FOR ACHIEVING SYSTEM-DIRECTED CHECKPOINTING WITHOUT OPERATING-SYSTEM KERNEL SUPPORT - System-directed checkpointing is enabled in otherwise standard computers through relatively straightforward augmentations to the computer's memory controller hub. Firmware routines executed by a control and dispatch unit that is normally part of any memory controller hub enable it to implement any of six different checkpointing strategies: post-image checkpointing in which an image of the system state at the time of the last checkpoint is maintained in a local shadow memory; post-image checkpointing in which an image of the system state at the time of the last checkpoint is maintained in a shadow memory located in a second, backup computer; post-image checkpointing using a bit-map memory, having one bit representing each data block in system memory, to reduce the amount of memory-to-memory copying required to establish a checkpoint; post-image checkpointing to a local shadow memory using two bit map memories to enable normal processing to continue while the shadow is being updated, post-image checkpointing to a local shadow memory using a block-state memory that eliminates the need for any memory-to-memory copying; and local pre-image checkpointing that does not require a shadow memory. Since each of these implementations has advantages and disadvantages relative to the others and since similar mechanisms are used in the memory controller hub for all of these options, it can be designed to support all of them with hardwired or settable status bits defining which is to be supported in a given situation.03-25-2010

20100008019Sintered Dielectric Ceramic, Composition for Making, and Use Thereof In Multilayer Capacitor And Energy Storage Device - A batch powder composition for preparing a non-ferroelectric, sintered dielectric ceramic; a multilayer ceramic capacitor thereof; and an energy storage device. The batch powder contains a titanate powder of at least one of CaTiO01-14-2010
20100110608Core-shell structured dielectric particles for use in multilayer ceramic capacitors - This invention provides a method to make core-shell structured dielectric particles which consist of a conductive core and at least one layer of insulating dielectric shell for the application of multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCC). The use of said core-shell instead of conventionally solid dielectric particles as the capacitor's active layers simplifies the MLCC manufacturing processes and effectively improves the MLCC properties. In particular, the use of core-shell particles with a thin shell of high permittivity dielectric material improves the capacitance volumetric efficiency, and the use of core-shell particles with a thick shell of dielectric will improve capacitor device's energy storage capacity as the results of improved electrical and mechanical strength.05-06-2010
20100230149Glass Flux Assisted Sintering of Chemical Solution Deposited Thin Dielectric Films - A method of making dense dielectrics layers via chemical solution deposition by adding inorganic glass fluxed material to high dielectric constant compositions, depositing the resultant mixture onto a substrate and annealing the substrate at temperatures between the softening point of the inorganic glass flux and the melting point of the substrate. A method of making a capacitor comprising a dense dielectric layer.09-16-2010

20080245078Tray-based continuous throughput blast freezer - A high capacity, continuous production blast freezer includes an insulated enclosure, a refrigeration system supplying cold air to the enclosure and a plurality of trays containing comestibles to be frozen. A tray advancement or pusher mechanism advances a first tray into the enclosure and then advances a second tray into the enclosure, pushing the first tray further into the enclosure. Gradually a first level of the enclosure is filled with trays. An elevator mechanism at both ends of the enclosure allows the trays reaching the end of the enclosure to advance to a second level, and the tray advancement mechanism advances the tray out of the elevator onto the second level. Eventually, as additional trays are pushed into the enclosure, the second level and then optionally further levels of the enclosure are filled with trays. After the enclosure is completely filled with trays, for every tray entering the enclosure a tray exits carrying frozen comestibles, resulting in continuous production of frozen comestibles. The trays travel back and forth through the insulated enclosure on a passive tray guide in the form of rails, rollers or other device, preferably without requiring a conveyor or other active electro-mechanical tray transport system inside the enclosure.10-09-2008
20100064717Ice machines with extruded heat exchanger - A heat exchanger for an ice machine has the form of a cylinder. In some embodiments, the cylinder is made from an extrusion of a metal such as an aluminum alloy. The heat exchanger includes inner and outer cylindrical walls and one or more refrigeration passages positioned between the inner and outer walls. The inner and outer walls are separated from each other by connecting structures defining the refrigeration passages. The heat exchanger can be extruded as a rectangular panel and subsequently formed into a cylindrical form. Alternatively, the heat exchanger can be extruded as a cylinder, or as an arcuate cylindrical segment in which several of such segments are subsequently joined together (as by welding) into a cylinder. Ice machines that feature ice formation on both the inner and outer walls of the cylinder are also disclosed.03-18-2010
