20110220680FABRIC ADDITIVE ARTICLES AND PACKAGE THEREFOR - The present invention provides an article of manufacture or package for containing and dispensing unitized doses of a laundry additive in article form. The package comprises a plurality of laundry additive articles, means for preventing exposure of the laundry articles to moisture prior to dispensing or use, and a container having a compartment and closure for enclosing the plurality of articles in the container. The container can be a tub, tray, jar, bottle, pouch, bag, box or some combination thereof and will preferably be made from polymeric materials. Optionally, the container may have dividing means for subdividing the container compartment into subcompartments so that the container can accommodate a variety of different additives in separate compartments. Optionally, but preferably, the container closure will have child resistant features as well as a window or other means for viewing the contents of the package when the closure is in a closed position. The means for preventing exposure of the articles to moisture may simply be a seal about the container closure or it may comprise separate a seal for each laundry additive article. Seals for the individual articles will preferably be a tray with a recess formed therein for receiving the laundry additive article and a polymeric film adhered to the tray over the recess to seal the article within.09-15-2011

20090019185Non Main CPU/OS Based Operational Environment - A computing system is described that includes a main system bus that remains active while said computing system operates within a non main CPU/OS based operational state. The computing system also includes a controller that operates functional tasks while the computing system is within the non main CPU/OS based operational state. The computing system also includes an I/O unit coupled to the main system bus that remains active while the computing system operates within the non main CPU/OS based operational state.01-15-2009

20090077347Systems and methods for wake on event in a network - Embodiments include systems and methods for allowing a host CPU to sleep while service presence packets and responses to search requests are sent by an alternate processor. While the CPU is in a low power state, the alternate processor monitors the network for incoming request packets. Also, while the CPU is asleep, the alternate processor periodically may transmit presence packets, announcing the presence of a service available from the host system of the CPU. In one embodiment, the alternate processor is a low power processor. If a search request is received when the CPU is in a low power state, the alternate processor responds to the search request according to whether the PC provides that service. If a service request is received, then the ME wakes the CPU of the PC to provide the requested service. In the wireless case, when the CPU is asleep, portions of the wireless upper MAC are implemented by the ME. When the CPU is awake the wireless upper MAC is implemented in the CPU. Thus, embodiments enable the PC to appear available to wireless devices when the CPU is asleep.03-19-2009
