Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100299649NOVEL OPTIMIZATION FOR CIRCUIT DESIGN - Methods for optimizing design parameters of a circuit are disclosed. In one aspect, an optimization problem includes one or more performance specifications that represent an exponent of a design parameter to be optimized. Various parameters of passive and active circuit devices may be efficiently and accurately optimized as a result. In another aspect, linear performance specifications are included for accurately calculating voltages. In yet other aspects of the invention, three special types of convex optimization problems are disclosed for enabling the above use of exponents of design parameters which provide efficient and accurate calculations of a virtually unlimited array of circuit parameters and performance characteristics.11-25-2010

20110190822Internal Structure Stabilization System for Spanning Three or More Structures - A method and system are described for immobilizing three or more vertebrae. The system includes a first bone anchor assembly, a second bone anchor assembly including a connector having a predefined arc, and at least a third bone anchor assembly. The first and second bone anchor assemblies are inserted into the pedicles of vertebrae spanning at least a third vertebra. The third bone anchor assembly is positioned into the third vertebra between the first and second bone anchor assemblies using an arc defining instrument which is used to locate the proper position for the third bone anchor assembly based on the predefined arc of the connector. Once the third bone anchor assembly is in place the connector is rotated into position and captured by the first and third bone anchor assemblies.08-04-2011

20090265007VERTEBRAL INTERBODY COMPRESSION IMPLANT - An apparatus and method for securing boney structures is disclosed which includes a compression mechanism and a force transfer mechanism. The compression mechanism may have bone engagement members that have one portion slideably coupled to a housing positioned within the implant and another portion rotatably coupled to the implant so that a movement of the housing causes the slideable portion to move within the housing and a penetrating member to rotate about the rotatably coupled portion. The force transfer mechanism may be coupled to the compression mechanism to move the housing.10-22-2009

20110152928REATTACHMENT OF TISSUE TO BASE TISSUE - An anchor includes an anchor body configured to be retained within base tissue. The anchor body includes a unidirectional mechanism to selectively restrict passage of a flexible member through the anchor. The flexible member includes a loop to enable attachment of candidate tissue to base tissue without the use of knots.06-23-2011

20100225504Method and System for Adding Gadgets to a Traffic Report - A method and system for adding traffic gadgets to a traffic report is disclosed. A traffic gadget is a dynamic object defined by a relatively small code module that is separate from the main traffic report application code. A programmer develops the traffic gadget's visual functionality and specifies the type of data that the traffic gadget can receive. An artist configures the visible appearance of the traffic gadget for a specific end-user application. The end-user may then select a traffic gadget and add the selected traffic gadget to a visual traffic report. The user may also select data to control the functionality of the traffic gadget during the traffic report.09-09-2010

20080216159System and method for electronic consent and delivery of financial and/or other transaction-related information - The present invention relates to a method and system for effectively and efficiently delivering financial and/or other transaction-related information to investors while complying with relevant governmental rules and regulations regarding notice, access and proof of delivery. The method and system of the present invention enable individual consent of electronic delivery of financial and/or other transaction-related information from investors and electronically delivering such information and/or documentation to the consented recipients. The system can manage and update investor lists for issuers and/or market intermediaries; prepare financial and other transaction-related information for review; replace or supplement hardcopy documents by disseminating such financial and other transaction-related information through an electronic delivery fulfillment system that complies with governmental rules and regulations; and enable real-time audit tracking of the electronic delivery to confirm both delivery and access of delivered information and to track corrupted electronic deliveries.09-04-2008

20090010310ADAPTIVE RADIO TRANSCEIVER - An exemplary embodiment of the present invention described and shown in the specification and drawings is a transceiver with a receiver, a transmitter, a local oscillator (LO) generator, a controller, and a self-testing unit. All of these components can be packaged for integration into a single IC including components such as filters and inductors. The controller for adaptive programming and calibration of the receiver, transmitter and LO generator. The self-testing unit generates is used to determine the gain, frequency characteristics, selectivity, noise floor, and distortion behavior of the receiver, transmitter and LO generator. It is emphasized that this abstract is provided to comply with the rules requiring an abstract which will allow a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the technical disclosure. It is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or the meaning of the claims.01-08-2009
