20110196749METHOD FOR DYNAMIC BANNER COMPOSITION - A display banner containing current and dynamically varying information is realized by a method for generating a display of a banner image, wherein the banner image occupies at least a portion of the video display. A file including certain instructions is used to define static and dynamic elements of the banner image. As the instructions from the file are executed to begin composing the banner image for display, a current content for each dynamic element is determined and the related dynamic element is updated accordingly. The static elements and the updated dynamic elements are then assembled into the current banner image for display. In this way, embodiments of the present invention are able to dynamically create banner images with current information just in time for their display.08-11-2011

20080273880Redundant channel implementation to extend optical transceiver lifetime and relibility - Embodiments introduce redundant optical channels to significantly extend the lifetime of parallel optical transceivers. A plurality of transmitters, N, transmit on a plurality of optical channels, where N is an integer number of optical channels greater than 1. One or more redundant channels, M, are also provided. N+M multiple input shift registers provide multiple paths for signals from each of the transmitters to connect to N+M laser diodes. In the event up to M of the N+M laser diodes fail, the multiple input shift registers connect the N transmitters to functioning ones of the N+M laser diodes thus extending the life of the device. A corresponding scheme is also described for the receiver side.11-06-2008
20080304527Controlling a bias current for an optical source - In one embodiment, the present invention includes an apparatus having a current mirror with a current source coupled to a first terminal and an output current to flow from an output terminal, a laser coupled to the output terminal to be biased by the output current, and a comparator to compare a voltage of the first terminal to the voltage of the output terminal and gate the current mirror based on the comparison. Other embodiments are described and claimed.12-11-2008

20080210095Turn-Around Scrubber - A modular scrubbing system is presented. The scrubber system comprises multiple modules that allow a gas flow to turn-around return back through scrubbing modules. Contemplated modules include inlets, outlets, turn-arounds, and scrubbing modules.09-04-2008
20080210096Multi-Target Scrubber - A gas scrubber is presented. The gas scrubber comprises a nozzle that atomizes a liquid to form droplets. The droplets are preferably expelled from the nozzle in substantially a hollow cone spray pattern with a velocity of at least 4000 feet per minute. A stream of gas containing particulates that requires scrubbing interacts with the droplets. After the interaction, the gas-droplet combination impinges on a target. Preferred targets include droplets from a second nozzle, a ducting surface, or a throated passage.09-04-2008

20090259681Automatic generation and publication of online documentation - Systems and methods are provided that build and publish online documents. Source files of the online documents are automatically built into a book and published on a web site for review. A report regarding the build is provided to the author of the documents. The author can use the report to determine whether the build was successful, and whether manual intervention is necessary. The books are also archived.10-15-2009

20110184505Components, Systems and Methods for Forming Anastomoses Using Magnetism or Other Coupling Means - Anastomotic components may be attached to hollow bodies or vessels by magnetic or mechanical force to create an anastomosis, form a port in a vessel, or repair a diseased vessel lumen. Anastomoses are created by coupling a first connection to an end of a vessel and then attracting it to a second connector secured to the side wall of another vessel. The connection between the first and second connectors may be solidly magnetic, solely mechanical, or a combination thereof. Also disclosed are methods and devices for treating diseased vessel lumens, for example abdominal aortic aneurysm. A plurality of docking members is attached to the vessel at solicited positions, and then one or more grafts is secured to the docking members in any suitable manner.07-28-2011

20080302821MIXING AND DISPENSING FLUID COMPONENTS OF A MULTICOMPONENT COMPOSITION - A device for dispensing a multicomponent composition composed of a mixture of different fluid components includes a first and at least a second fluid component inlet. The device also includes a mixing area located downstream from the fluid component inlets and an outlet extending from the mixing area. Each of the fluid component inlets is adapted to communicate with a source of a different fluid component. The mixing area is adapted to receive a flow of a first and at least second fluid component. Within the mixing area, the flow of the first fluid component is disrupted to allow mixing with the flow of a second fluid component to form a flow of multicomponent composition. The mixing area is further adapted to disrupt the flow of the multicomponent composition before the flow of the multicomponent composition exits through the outlet.12-11-2008
