| 20110258914 | METHODS FOR INTEGRATED FAST PYROLYSIS PROCESSING OF BIOMASS - Methods, process, apparatus, equipment, and systems are disclosed for converting biomass into bio-oil fractions for chemicals, materials, feedstocks and fuels using a low-cost, integrated fast pyrolysis system. The system improves upon prior art by creating stable, bio-oil fractions which have unique properties that make them individually superior to conventional bio-oil. The invention enables water and low-molecular weight compounds to be separated into a final value-added fraction suitable for upgrading or extracting into value-added chemicals, fuels and water. Initial bio-oil fractions from the process are chemically distinct, have low-water content and acidity which reduces processing costs normally associated with conventional bio-oil post-production upgrading since fewer separation steps, milder processing conditions and lower auxiliary inputs are required. Biochar is stabilized so that it can be handled safely. The integrated fast pyrolysis process includes biomass storage, preparation, pretreatment, and conversion, product recovery and processing to create and store stable biochar and bio-oil fractions. | 10-27-2011 |

| 20090172252 | Memory device and method for performing a write-abort-safe firmware update - A memory device and method for performing a write-abort-safe firmware update are disclosed. In one embodiment, a location in a memory of a memory device for a firmware update is allocated. The firmware update is written into the allocated location in the memory. A pointer is written to the firmware update in a directory, and a pointer is written to the directory in a location in the memory that is read during boot-up. In another embodiment, a block in a memory of a memory device is allocated for updated file system data comprising a firmware update and a directory. The updated file system data is written into the allocated location in the memory. A pointer is written to the firmware update in the directory, and a pointer is written to the updated file system data in a boot block in the memory, wherein the boot block is read during boot-up. | 07-02-2009 |

| 20110107331 | Endpoint-Hosted Hypervisor Management - A client hypervisor comprises a virtual agent that runs outside of a system OS and that allows device management independent of the OS and user. The virtual agent is tied to a device and not a specific instance of the OS. Such client hypervisors expose new functionality to ease managing systems. Some of these capabilities come from the persistence and privileges outside the OS. In some embodiments of the invention, this new management functionality is exposed to allow device management via new virtualization concepts, such as multiple VMs per system, VM replacement, snapshot/rollback, etc. | 05-05-2011 |

| 20090290925 | PORTABLE PRINTER - There is disclosed a lightweight portable printer having a frame or housing with a print head and a cooperable platen roll mounted in the housing. The housing pivotally mounts a subassembly. The subassembly mounts an electric motor and gearing driven by the motor for driving the platen roll. The subassembly is resiliently urged to press the print head against the platen roll. The printer has a front door which provides access to the inside of the housing. The front door mounts the platen roll, a label delaminator, a pressure roll, a holder for mounting a supply roll of labels or tags, and a latch for latching the door to the housing and for camming the pressure roll into and out of cooperation with the platen roll. | 11-26-2009 |
