| 20110219163 | USB 3 Bridge With Embedded Hub - A bridge device for connecting a USB 3 host device with a plurality of downstream, non-USB 3 mass storage devices, such as SATA or PATA devices. The bridge device comprises an embedded hub having a plurality of internal USB 3 devices. The internal USB 3 devices do not have a physical USB 3 interface. The bridge device also has at least one downstream physical non-USB 3 device, to which a mass storage device may be attached. The internal USB 3 devices enable the host device to be presented with a plurality of USB 3 devices. This, in turn, allows transfer to the plurality of downstream physical non-USB 3 devices, via the internal USB 3 devices at an increased rate. The bridge may also include a downstream physical USB 3 interface. This can allow multiple bridge devices to be connected together in a cascade. | 09-08-2011 |

| 20080246046 | Pixel Structure For A Solid State Light Emitting Device - A light emitting device includes an active layer structure, which has one or more active layers with luminescent centers, e.g. a wide bandgap material with semiconductor nano-particles, deposited on a substrate. For the practical extraction of light from the active layer structure, a transparent electrode is disposed over the active layer structure and a base electrode is placed under the substrate. Transition layers, having a higher conductivity than a top layer of the active layer structure, are formed at contact regions between the upper transparent electrode and the active layer structure, and between the active layer structure and the substrate. Accordingly the high field regions associated with the active layer structure are moved back and away from contact regions, thereby reducing the electric field necessary to generate a desired current to flow between the transparent electrode, the active layer structure and the substrate, and reducing associated deleterious effects of larger electric fields. | 10-09-2008 |
| 20100032687 | ENGINEERED STRUCTURE FOR HIGH BRIGHTNESS SOLID-STATE LIGHT EMITTERS - Electroluminescent (EL) light emitting structures comprises one or more active layers comprising rare earth luminescent centres in a host matrix for emitting light of a particular colour or wavelength and electrodes for application of an electric field and current injection for excitation of light emission. The host matrix is preferably a dielectric containing the rare earth luminescent centres, e.g. rare earth doped silicon dioxide, silicon nitride, silicon oxynitrides, alumina, dielectrics of the general formula Si | 02-11-2010 |

| 20120103622 | EFFICIENT OPEN WATER RISER DEPLOYMENT - A riser for use in subsea operations that is parked subsea deployed as needed onto wellheads disposed proximate where the riser is parked. A base anchored into the seafloor provides a pedestal for parking the riser. The riser emits a beacon signal so it can be located when needed. When parked, the riser can be kept in a vertical orientation by a buoyancy module mounted on an upper portion of the riser. A workboat, or other vessel, attaches to the parked riser and positions it onto a designated wellhead. An extension connects the riser to platform or other vessel above the sea surface. | 05-03-2012 |

| 20090070567 | EFFICIENT IMPLEMENTATION OF BRANCH INTENSIVE ALGORITHMS IN VLIW AND SUPERSCALAR PROCESSORS - An apparatus for implementing branch intensive algorithms is disclosed. The apparatus includes a processor containing a plurality of ALUs and a plurality of result registers. Each result register has a guard input which allows the ALU to write a result to the register upon receipt of a selection signal at the guard input. A lookup table is dynamically programmed with logic to implement an upcoming branching portion of program code. Upon evaluation of the branch conditions of the branching portion of code, the lookup table outputs a selection signal for writing the correct results of the branching portion of code based on the evaluation of the branch condition statements and the truth table programmed into the lookup table to the result register. | 03-12-2009 |

| 20100307205 | SECURITY APPARATUS - The present invention, relates to an apparatus for securing cassettes housed within an automatic teller machine (ATM). The apparatus comprises at least one barrier and a supporting structure for supporting said at least one barrier. Each barrier is formed and arranged to be associated with a pair of adjacent cassettes and to be movable between a first position in which the barrier prevents removal of a pair of adjacent cassettes in use of the apparatus along their respective removal paths. The barrier is moveable to a second position in which the barrier prevents removal of one cassette of the pair of adjacent cassettes along its removal path and to a third position in which the barrier prevents removal of the other cassette of the said pair of adjacent cassettes along its removal path. In use, only one cassette of a pair of adjacent cassettes is removable along its removal path when the barrier is in the second or third position. The apparatus is further formed and arranged so that the barrier (or barriers) can be moved to a ‘service’ position so that both cassettes can be accessed and removed along their removal paths and for servicing of the ATM. | 12-09-2010 |

| 20100183734 | Influence of genotype on susceptibility to treatment with fish oil - The present invention relates to methods for assessing an individual's susceptibility to treatment of an inflammatory disease with a dietary supplement. The invention describes the recognition that the sensitivity of an individual to the inflammation suppressing effects of fish oil on TNF-a production is linked both to genetic variation encoded by, or associated with, TNF-a and/or IL-6 single nucleotide polymorphisms and to the inherent level of production of TNF-a by cells. | 07-22-2010 |
