| 20090100487 | MITIGATING SUBSCRIBER SIDE ATTACKS IN A CABLE NETWORK - In one embodiment, a Cable Modem Termination System (CMTS) identifies an endpoint originating undesired traffic. Instead of dropping a bandwidth request for the identified endpoint by not responding, the CMTS responds to such a request by sending a data grant pending message. The data grant pending message causes a cable modem for the identified endpoint to enter a waiting state, which prevents further bandwidth requests for the identified endpoint. | 04-16-2009 |
| 20090205004 | Dynamic Allocation Of Upstream Channel Resources Among Multiple RF Domains - In one embodiment, an “upstream resource pool” may be defined, such that certain upstream resources may be utilized, or not, depending on current traffic demands. Such a pool may include a specified number of available upstream channels. A universe of “eligible” RF domains may be associated with the pool. To provide additional capacity when traffic demands warrant it, an eligible RF domain may be enabled to request one or more upstream channels from the pool. A channel may be requested for a specified duration, or for an unspecified period of time. | 08-13-2009 |
| 20100162336 | CABLE MODEM ACCESS USING LAYER-2 MESSAGING - In one embodiment, a method comprises receiving notification of a cable modem operational issue for a cable modem and establishing layer-2 logging communications with the cable modem. The method comprises receiving a message from the cable modem, the message generated by the cable modem in response to the operational issue and indicating the operational issue associated with the cable modem. | 06-24-2010 |

| 20110015607 | (BATMAN) DISPOSABLE ABSORBENT ARTICLE HAVING LEG WRAPS AND METHOD OF MAKING SAME - A leg wrap structure is provided in a disposable absorbent garment such as a diaper or training pants. The leg wrap structure has a base layer, a top layer, and an elastic construction disposed therebetween. The elastic construction includes a plurality of spaced apart (e.g. generally equally spaced apart) elastic elements (e.g. strands or threads) that are aligned in a generally in generally parallel relation. Further, the top and base layers define a region of inelasticity. The leg wrap structure provides for the efficient formation of a reservoir and a plurality of fluid dams each capable of capturing a quantity of fluid to minimize the occurrence of fluid leaks from the absorbent article. Methods of forming such absorbent articles are disclosed. | 01-20-2011 |

| 20110314726 | PRODUCTION OF ETHANOL FROM LIGNOCELLULOSIC BIOMASS USING GREEN LIQUOR PRETREATMENT - A method of producing an alcohol from lignocellulosic biomass is provided wherein the lignocellulosic biomass is pretreated with an alkaline mixture of sodium carbonate and sodium sulfate, i.e., green liquor, prior to enzymatic hydrolysis and fermentation. Pretreatment with the green liquor increases the efficiency of the enzymatic hydrolysis. Both the alcohol produced from the fermentation and the lignin that dissolves into the green liquor during pretreatment can also be used as fuels. | 12-29-2011 |
| 20120036768 | HIGH CONSISTENCY ENZYMATIC HYDROLYSIS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF ETHANOL - The presently disclosed subject matter related to methods of converting lignocellulosic materials to alcohol that include increasing the fiber consistency of enzymatic hydrolysis mixtures. More particularly, the methods involve contacting lignocellulosic biomass with an enzyme composition for a period of time, and then thickening the mixture and further hydrolyzing the thickened mixture. The thickening can be performed by filtration, optionally reusing the filtrate and/or any enzymes contained therein during the lignocellulose conversion process to increase the efficiency of the process. Hydrolysis of the thickened mixture provides a fermentable sugar mixture having a higher concentration of sugar than fermentable sugar mixtures provided from less concentrated biomass/enzyme mixtures. Compositions comprising alcohol prepared according to the presently disclosed methods are also provided. | 02-16-2012 |

| 20090124992 | Elastic composite for a disposable absorbent garment - An elastic composite is provided in a disposable absorbent garment such as a diaper or training pants. The elastic composite has a base layer, a top layer, and an elastic construction disposed therebetween. The elastic construction includes a plurality of spaced apart (e.g. generally equally spaced apart) elastic elements (e.g. strands or threads) that are aligned in a generally cross machine direction and in generally parallel relation. Further, the top and base layers define a first longitudinally extending side edge and a second longitudinally extending side edge between which, the elastic construction is disposed. The elastic composite further includes an elasticized region, wherein the elastic construction is disposed, a first non-elasticized region disposed between the first side edge and the elasticized region, and a second non-elasticized region disposed between the second side edge and the elasticized region. | 05-14-2009 |
| 20110314787 | Elastic composite for a disposable absorbent garment, and a system and process for making the elastic composite and a garment having the elastic composite - A method is provided for making an elastic composite for incorporation into a disposable absorbent garment. An elastic element applicator is provided that is configured to move a section of a continuous strand of elastic element generally about a plane. A first web of material is conveyed in a first web moving direction such that the first web intersects the plane. Then, the applicator is operated to move the elastic element about the plane, thereby applying the section of elastic element onto the first web along a direction generally transverse to the web moving direction and such that the first web draws the continuous elastic strand from the elastic element applicator as the first web is conveyed away from the plane. The elastic element applicator may be in the form of a spin cylinder or bracket that is operated to spin the elastic element about the moving first web, thereby applying the elastic element on the first web. | 12-29-2011 |
