| 20100298041 | Gaming Method and Apparatus for Facilitating a Game Involving Specialty Functionality - Various embodiments concern a method for facilitating a gaming activity having specialty functionality comprising providing a grid formed by a plurality of elements and marking elements of the plurality with markings selected from a plurality of marking-types, the plurality of marking-types including a feature marking-type. A plurality of feature indicators can be positioned in the grid. Then, for each element of the plurality that is marked with the feature marking-type and positionally associated with a feature indicator of the plurality, the feature marking-type can be re-marked to a respective element of the plurality that is adjacent to the element marked with the feature marking-type and positionally associated with the feature indicator. An outcome can then be determined based on one or more combinations of the markings. | 11-25-2010 |

| 20110016254 | SHARING OF HOST BUS ADAPTER CONTEXT - A system comprises a first host bus adapter (HBA) that uses a first context to facilitate the transmission of packets through a logical connection through the first HBA. The system also comprises a second HBA and memory in which the first context is stored. The memory is accessible by both of the first and second HBAs. Upon receiving a packet associated with the logical connection, the second HBA accesses the memory to use the first context to process the packet in accordance with the first context. | 01-20-2011 |

| 20090279259 | System and method for proportional cooling with liquid metal - A circuit board may include a pump and a channel. The channel may include a liquid metal and a coating. The liquid metal may be pumped through the channel by the pump and the coating reduces diffusion and chemical reaction between the liquid metal and at least portions of the channel. The liquid metal may carry thermal energy to act as a heat transfer mechanism between two or more locations on the substrate. The substrate may include electrical interconnects to allow electrical components to be populated onto the substrate to form an electronics assembly. The pump may be driven by electric current that is utilized by one or more electronic components on the circuit board. | 11-12-2009 |

| 20080240949 | Zero emissions reciprocating pump - A sealing system for a pump having a plunger includes a housing having an internal chamber adapted to receive a portion of the plunger. Primary and secondary seals are located within the internal chamber and adapted to sealingly engage the plunger. The primary seal communicates with the fluid being pumped. A barrier fluid chamber contains a barrier fluid in contact with the primary seal and the secondary seal. A pressure referencing device has an inlet port in communication with the pumped fluid and an outlet port providing fluid at a pressure magnitude equal to a peak pressure of the pumped fluid. A pressurizing device is in communication with the fluid at the peak pressure and the barrier fluid to maintain the barrier fluid pressure at a magnitude greater than the peak pressure of the pumped fluid such that the pumped fluid is restricted from leaking past the primary seal. | 10-02-2008 |
| 20100253007 | Zero Emissions Reciprocating Pump - A sealing system for a pump includes a housing having an internal chamber adapted to receive a portion of a plunger. A primary seal is translatable within the chamber in sealing relation with the housing. The primary seal includes first and second elastomeric members adapted to sealingly engage the plunger. The first and second elastomeric members are spaced apart from one another a distance greater than or equal to a maximum stroke of the plunger. A secondary seal is spaced apart from the primary seal and adapted to sealingly engage the plunger. A chamber contains a barrier fluid in contact with the primary seal and the secondary seal. A pressurizing device maintains a pressure of barrier fluid at a magnitude greater than a peak pressure of a fluid pumped by the plunger such that the pumped fluid is restricted from entering the barrier fluid chamber. | 10-07-2010 |

| 20090267382 | FLUSH-CLOSING WINDOW FOR MOTOR VEHICLES AND METHOD, GUIDE TRACK SYSTEM AND PIN ASSEMBLY THEREFOR - A multi-pane flush closing window assembly for a vehicle includes any one of a combination of fixed sub-assemblies and/or sliding sub-assemblies supported by a frame. The sub-assemblies may be conveniently assembled and disassembled from the frame without removing the frame or window securing structure from the vehicle. Man hours, tooling, and costs associated with flush window assembly and repairs are reduced as a result. The fixed sub-assembly has a sash, and removable fasteners extend through the peripheral edge of the sash into the interior side of the frame. The sliding sub-assembly is removably secured to the frame by an improved multi-piece guide track and slide pin assembly. The slide pins are removably secured to opposite sides of the sliding sub-assembly. A lock nut or coil spring provides a means for adjusting the slide pin so that the sliding sub-assembly assumes an optimal flush fit with the frame and the fixed sub-assembly. The guide track includes a lead section, a tail section with a stop, a middle track section, and an end track section each individually fastened to the interior wall of the frame. The lead and tail sections have shaped channels formed in them for directing movement of the sliding sub-assembly relative to the fixed sub-assembly. The middle and end sections connect the lead and tail sections to accommodate multiple slide travel lengths for any window size. The guide track sections, the slide pins, and thus the sliding sub-assembly may be conveniently assembled and disassembled from the frame without removing the frame or window securing structure. | 10-29-2009 |
