Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090042357Method of selective oxygen implantation to dielectrically isolate semiconductor devices using no extra masks - A method of fabricating integrated circuit structures utilizes selective oxygen implantation to dielectrically isolate semiconductor structures using no extra masks. Existing masks are utilized to introduce oxygen into bulk silicon with subsequent thermal oxide growth. Since the method uses bulk silicon, it is cheaper than silicon-on-insulator (SOI) techniques. It also results in bulk-silicon that is latch-up immune.02-12-2009

20110208349 ELECTRONIC POINT OF SALES VENDING CONTROL APPARATUS - An electronic point of sales (EPOS) vending control apparatus for connecting different types of electronic point of sales (EPOS) systems with different types of vending machines is disclosed. The apparatus provides means for ensuring that the signals carrying control instructions for each EPOS system and vending machine connected to the control apparatus are in an appropriate format. The invention also ensures that one person is fully accountable for all vends originating from a particular EPOS system to provide one point of access and includes a verifiable audit trail. Each vend operation is recorded against a single authenticated operator.08-25-2011

20100010692Integrating avionics system with single event upset autonomous recovery - A novel system and method for detecting and recovering from single event upsets in integrating processing systems are presented. Two delta value processing lanes may be utilized to process raw data from inertial sensors. The output of the two processing lanes may be compared to detect the presence of an SEU. If an error is detected, a previously stored set of delta values may be utilized by the system. Additionally, the system may contain a temporary buffer to store calculated delta values in the event of a processor reset caused by an SEU or other error. The temporary buffer may store delta values accumulated during the processor reset and may furnish these stored delta values to the processor once it has finished resetting. The stored delta values may then be batch-processed and applied to system state values saved to memory prior to the processor reset.01-14-2010

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110004492DYNAMIC ADJUSTMENT OF INSURANCE PREMIUMS - A method to dynamically adjust a premium of an insurance policy is disclosed. At least one of an entity input data or an environmental input data is updated by a dynamic insurance provisioning system, the entity input data being an input data that is specific to an entity insured by the insurance policy and the environmental input data being additional input data that is not being specific to the entity. A determination is made as to whether a risk associated with providing the insurance policy has changed based on the updating of the at least one of the entity input data and the environmental input data. Responsive to the determination, the premium of the insurance policy is recalculated.01-06-2011
20110004493DYNAMIC AGGREGATION OF INSURANCE PREMIUMS - A method to dynamically aggregate insurance premiums is disclosed. An insurance policy is dynamically adjusted responsive to input data received at a dynamic provisioning system, the adjusting including a calculating of a new premium of the insurance policy. An amount of a payment of the new premium is identified based on preference data received at the dynamic provisioning system. An entity insured by the insurance policy is notified of the amount.01-06-2011

20110147129SUPPLEMENTAL ELEVATOR BRAKE AND RETROFITTING INSTALLATION PROCEDURE - An exemplary method of retrofitting a brake onto an elevator machine that was previously installed in an elevator system includes selecting a surface of the elevator machine that rotates as a sheave of the machine rotates. A braking surface is provided on the selected surface. At least one brake member is installed in a position to selectively engage the braking surface.06-23-2011
