| 20100034296 | FAST NOISE REDUCTION IN DIGITAL IMAGES AND VIDEO - Presented are embodiments for nonlocal mean filtering that provide a robust and efficient method for reducing noise in digital images and video frames. These embodiments build on a separable property of neighborhood filtering to offer a fast, parallel and vectorized implementation in contemporary shared memory computer architectures while minimizing theoretical computational complexity. In practice, this approach is fast and scales linearly with image size. | 02-11-2010 |

| 20090047004 | Participant digital disc video interface - A digital disc interface for a plurality of audio-video streams produced from multiple recordings of an event is described. The video recordings include a primary audio-video recording, as well as one or more participant audio-video recordings. The interface provides time-synchronized rendering of a composite video image of the various video streams, including a main full-size rendering of one video stream, the accompanying audio stream, and miniaturized versions of participant streams. Using a video menu-driven interface, the consumer is able to simultaneously monitor the streams, and when desired, to navigate among the various video streams and select an alternative audio-video stream for full-size rendering and an accompanying audio stream. | 02-19-2009 |

| 20100071166 | NOVELTY GLIDERS FOR WALKERS - A glider that attaches to the bottom of the legs of a walker is disclosed. The glider, preferably a ball made from wood, provides the walker with additional stability and mobility. The glider includes a hole with a rubber stopper that secures the glider to the leg of a walker. A screw is first inserted into the glider and then a design is created on the glider. The screw is removed and then a hole is drilled over the same spot, large enough to fit the leg of a walker. A rubber stopper is inserted into the hole to help secure the leg of the walker to the glider. A scribe line can be included around the opposite end of the glider to inform users of when to replace the glider. | 03-25-2010 |

| 20090104035 | ADVANCED TURBULATOR ARRANGEMENTS FOR MICROCIRCUITS - A passageway is provided through which a cooling fluid flows in a first direction. The passageway has a plurality of trip strips positioned within the passageway. Adjacent one of the trip strips are oriented to converge towards each other at a first end to form an apex portion and to form a region in which turbulence is created. The apex portion is oriented at an angle with respect to the first direction. | 04-23-2009 |
| 20090116956 | MANUFACTURABLE AND INSPECTABLE COOLING MICROCIRCUITS FOR BLADE-OUTER-AIR-SEALS - A method for manufacturing a cooling microcircuit in a blade-outer-air-seal is provided. The method broadly comprises the steps of forming a first section of the blade-outer-air-seal having a first exposed internal wall, forming a second section of the blade-outer-air-seal having a second exposed internal wall, and forming at least one cooling microcircuit on at least one of the first and second exposed internal walls. | 05-07-2009 |
| 20100158669 | MICROCIRCUITS FOR SMALL ENGINES - A turbine engine component for use in a small engine application has an airfoil portion having a root portion, a tip portion, a suction side wall, and a pressure side wall. The suction side wall and the pressure side wall have the same thickness. Still further, the turbine engine component has a platform with an internal cooling circuit. | 06-24-2010 |
| 20100221098 | Peripheral Microcircuit Serpentine Cooling for Turbine Airfoils - A turbine component has an airfoil portion with at least one central core element, a pressure side wall, and a suction side wall. The airfoil portion also has a serpentine cooling passageway in at least one of the walls. In a preferred embodiment, the airfoil portion has a serpentine cooling passageway in both of the pressure and suction side walls. A refractory metal core for forming the serpentine cooling passageway(s) is also described. | 09-02-2010 |

| 20090304516 | PLATFORM MATE FACE CONTOURS FOR TURBINE AIRFOILS - Gas turbine engine components having an airfoil extending outwardly of a platform are mounted in adjacent relationship, and such that cooling air flows outwardly of a gap between mating faces of the platforms. The location of localized hot spots is identified on the platform, and the mating faces are designed to provide cooling air through the gap to address these hot spots. A suction side edge of the platform has a curved portion extending inwardly into the platform, and the pressure side has a curved portion bulging outwardly away from the airfoil. When these two portions on adjacent components mate, a gap is provided between two platforms that provides leakage cooling air to the hot spot. | 12-10-2009 |

| 20090100174 | Method and system for automatic polling of multiple device types - A common poller polls multiple network devices of a communication network regardless of device type. A device personality service associates information corresponding to each of the devices with unique identifiers thereof. The common poller provides information resulting from polling the devices to network management systems (“NMS”) that request status and health information thereof. A poller client interface isolates the NMS from a common datastore coupled to the common poller and processes the information between the datastore and the NMS so the datastore is not directly exposed to the NMS. A scheduled poller causes the common poller to poll each network device according to a predetermined schedule. An on-demand poller may poll the devices between scheduled polling events. If a predetermined period as not passed since previous scheduled polling, the poller client interface forwards previously stored information from the common datastore to an NMS requesting status for a given device. | 04-16-2009 |

| 20090002934 | CARRIER FOR A MULTIPLE DISK ARRAY - A multiple drive array carrier apparatus and associated method is provided with a unitary two-row partition. The unitary two-row partition has a longitudinal end member. A plurality of first support members extend from the end member and support, in turn, a first set of coplanar engagement members. The first engagement members each define apertures configured for passing first fasteners therethrough to affix a first plurality of data storage devices to the first engagement members, defining a first row of data storage devices. A plurality of second support members also extend from the end member and define a second set of coplanar engagement members. Each of the second support members likewise define apertures configured for passing second fasteners therethrough in the same direction as the first fasteners to affix a second plurality of data storage devices to the second support members, defining a second row of data storage devices adjacent to and parallel with the first row. | 01-01-2009 |
