Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090322549Method and Apparatus for Zone Selection in Area Monitoring Devices - Zone selection logic in an area monitoring device increases the number of unique monitoring zone selections that can be selected using a limited number of discrete zone selection inputs, without compromising the safety critical operation of zone selection. The device monitors the logical state of each input in a set of individual inputs and recognizes each unique logical combination of zone selection inputs as a different zone selection. For example, each of two or more configured monitoring zones is associated with a different combinatorial zone selection pattern of asserted zone selection input signals. Correspondingly, a control circuit within the area monitoring device is configured to monitor the discrete zone selection inputs and activate a given one of the configured monitoring zones based on recognizing the associated combinatorial zone selection pattern of asserted zone selection signals.12-31-2009

20100306672METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MATCHING USERS IN MULTI-USER COMPUTER SIMULATIONS - A method for use in a computer simulation includes receiving a request from a first user to initiate a multi-user session, retrieving tag data for a second user, wherein the tag data includes tags entered by one or more users of a plurality of users including the first user, evaluating the tag data, matching the first user with the second user based on the result of the evaluating, and initiating the multi-user session with at least the first user and second user. Another method for use in a computer simulation includes establishing a multi-user computer simulation having an ability for one or more users in a plurality of users to enter tags for other users in the plurality of users, receiving tag data for the plurality of users, wherein the tag data includes tags that have been entered by the one or more users for the plurality of users, evaluating the tag data, and matching a first user in the plurality of users with one or more other users of the plurality of users based on a result of the evaluating. A computer-readable storage medium stores a computer program adapted to cause a processor based system to execute one or both of these methods.12-02-2010

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100050659VEHICLE AIR COMFORT SYSTEM AND METHOD - Systems and methods are provided for conditioning air inside an enclosure. The systems and methods may comprise: (1) a plurality of flow tunnels for passage of a heat-transfer fluid; (2) a thermoelectric cooler in thermal communication with the flow tunnels for thermally conditioning the heat-transfer fluid in the flow tunnels; (3) an air inlet for receiving unconditioned air; (4) a thermal exchange assembly for facilitating thermal exchange between the thermally conditioned heat-transfer fluid and the unconditioned air to result in conditioning of the air; and (5) an air outlet for outputting the conditioned air into the enclosure.03-04-2010
20100192596SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR COOLED AIRFLOW FOR DERMATOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS - A system and method of providing a temperature controlled gaseous medium for dermatological applications is described. The gaseous medium may be cooled and applied to an area such as a skin area to provide an analgesic effect thereon. The system and method also include an automated defrost cycle for minimizing the effects of decreased hydraulic diameter due to freezing.08-05-2010
