| 20100325532 | INDICATING FOCUS IN A PORTAL ENVIRONMENT - A method, system and apparatus for indicating input focus in a portal environment. A method for indicating user input focus in a portal environment can include assigning an unfocused style sheet to all unfocused portlets in a portal except for a focused portlet having input focus. A focused style sheet further can be assigned to the focused portlet having input focus. Subsequently, each of the focused and unfocused portlets can be rendered in the portal. Responsive to a new portlet in the portal acquiring the input focus from the focused portlet, the focused style sheet can be re-assigned to the new portlet while the unfocused style sheet can be re-assigned to the focused portlet which no longer has input focus. Subsequently, the new portlet and the focused portlet which no longer has input focus can be re-rendered in the portal according to the style sheets. | 12-23-2010 |

| 20080229228 | ASCRIBING VISUAL METADATA TO WORKFLOW COMPONENTS MODELED USING GRAPHICAL ICONS - Visual metadata is ascribed to workflow components that are modeled using graphical icons. The visual metadata includes instructions for displaying a graphical icon in a predetermined left-right or up-down orientation, displaying a graphical icon in one of a plurality of predetermined sizes, embedding customized anchor points within a graphical icon for wiring the graphical icon into a logical workflow view, identifying a data type for a workflow component, identifying shape, size, or orientation for the customized anchor points, embedding customized anchor points for individual data elements within a graphical icon so as to provide data wiring associated with visual targets within the workflow component, or various combinations thereof. The visual metadata is bound to the component, or the visual metadata is retrieved by providing a workflow tool with identifying indicia for the component. If a component is incorporated into a workflow, data mapping tool, or data flow, the visual metadata is used to determine an iconic representation for the graphical icon in the workflow, and also to render any embedded anchor points included in the visual metadata. | 09-18-2008 |

| 20110153087 | SOLAR POWER PLANT WITH VIRTUAL SUN TRACKING - A system for causing a solar collector to track the sun can include a collector controller that can control one or more solar collectors in a solar field, where the collector controller has one or more processors. The collector controller can estimate a sun angle, determine an angle of the one or more solar collectors with respect to the sun based at least partly on an inclination angle of the one or more solar collectors, and compare the estimated sun angle with the angle of the one or more solar collectors to determine a desired movement of the one or more solar collectors. Further, the collector controller can actuate the motor to effectuate the desired movement until the angle of the one or more solar collectors is within a hysteresis value within a virtual track deadband. | 06-23-2011 |
| 20110153095 | SOLAR POWER PLANT WITH SCALABLE FIELD CONTROL SYSTEM - A system for controlling a solar field can include a field control server that communicate with a plurality of solar collector controllers installed in a solar field. The field control server can include one or more processors that can implement a user interface module that can provide a solar field user interface having a plurality of user interface controls. Each of the user interface controls can represent one or more solar collector assemblies. User selection of one of the user interface controls can cause the field control server to send a command to one or more collector controllers associated with the selected one or more solar collector assemblies. Further, the system can include a customization module that can provide functionality for a user to customize the solar field user interface to accommodate changes in a number of the solar collector controllers installed in the solar field. | 06-23-2011 |
| 20110160924 | SOLAR POWER PLANT WITH SCALABLE COMMUNICATIONS PROTOCOL - A solar collector controller that can process solar field control commands can include a network interface that can receive a variable-length data packet with a collector controller. The collector controller can control one or more solar collectors. In addition, the variable-length data packet can include a header segment identifying a command to be performed by the collector controller and a data segment having one or more parameters associated with the command. The data segment can have a length that depends on a type of the command. Moreover, the solar collector controller can include a processor that can execute the command in response to receiving the data packet. | 06-30-2011 |

| 20100081037 | BATTERY MANAGEMENT FOR OPTIMIZING BATTERY AND SERVICE LIFE - The provision of a mode in silver zinc batteries where a user can access extra capacity as an emergency reserve for times when extra capacity is needed. While this temporarily increases capacity, it does not detrimentally affect cycle life over the longer term, and it permits a silver zinc battery to essentially mimic the long term capacity and cycle life characteristics of a lithium ion battery while still affording inherent advantages associated with silver zinc batteries. In a variant embodiment, this ability to temporarily increase capacity is optimally employed at the end of a battery life cycle in a controlled “roll-off” that accords additional cycles of battery service life. In another variant embodiment, the general capability to control capacity is employed to gradually decrease the available capacity of a battery over the life of the battery, to thereby extend the battery service life. | 04-01-2010 |

| 20080199352 | Ex vivo antimicrobial devices and methods - A method and device for destroying and inhibiting exposure to microbes and infection includes a first element and a second element, and a power source. At least one of the elements includes antimicrobial metal, which, when energized by the power source, produces ions that are lethal to microbes. The device can be incorporated into virtually any useful object. During normal use of the object, electrical communication is established between the two elements, causing current supplied from the power source to flow through the antimicrobial metal. The two elements are configured and arranged to ensure that ions flowing from the antimicrobial metal flow through the region in which it is desired to kill microbes. The antimicrobial metal can be on the surface of the element, incorporated into the material making up the element, or provided in any other way that allows the antimicrobial effect to be achieved. | 08-21-2008 |
