| 20090013643 | Packaging Window Coverings - A method of packing shutter panels including applying foam clips to sides of a shutter panel. The ends of the foam clips extend beyond ends of the shutter panel so that the ends of the foam clips overhang the panel. A plastic covering wrapped around the foam clips and the shutter panel is wrapped tight enough to compress and bend the ends of the foam clips inward toward the panel to form protective corners. | 01-15-2009 |

| 20100107016 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PREVENTING ERRORS INA STORAGE MEDIUM - The system and method for preventing write errors in storage mediums includes detecting the presence of an early power fail (EPF) signal derived from a power supply circuit providing power to the storage device. In response to the EPF signal, a modified standby-immediate (MSI) command is issued to the Storage device controller circuitry. The storage device controller circuitry responds by causing the storage medium to finish the current write operation and cease all future write operations. In this manner, write errors are prevented by causing the storage device to cease write operations before the expiration of predetermined time period between the issuance of the EPF signal and actual power failure. | 04-29-2010 |
| 20100153347 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PREVENTING CORRUPTION OF HARD DISK DRIVE FILE SYSTEM - The present principles provide methods and apparatus for preventing data corruption on a storage device by integrating a journaling file system with a cache system. To ensure journal accuracy with respect to data that is most likely to affect file system integrity, a method in accordance with an aspect of the present principles includes bypassing the cache when writing such data to a main platter of a storage device. Furthermore, to ensure overall efficiency in reading and writing data, a method in accordance with an aspect of the present principles includes writing to a cache, in addition to writing to the platter, data that has a relatively less damaging effect on file system integrity. Thus, aspects of the present principles optimally integrate a cache system with a journaling file system to provide both a robust file system integrity and an efficient reading and writing mechanism. | 06-17-2010 |

| 20110119711 | Multimedia Content Fusion - Full motion live video can be provided in tactical and other environments utilizing various apparatuses and methods. An apparatus can include live source video inputs configured to receive live source video streams, video outputs configured to provide live output video streams configured according to a channel template design; and a processor configured to control multiplexing of the live source video streams to provide master control of the live source video inputs and video outputs. Another apparatus can include an input configured to receive video streams from the prior apparatus, a processor configured to fuse the video streams, and a user interface configured to present the video streams to the user in multiple independent frames, wherein the multiple independent frames include a relatively larger live video of interest and relatively smaller live thumbnail videos. | 05-19-2011 |

| 20090308596 | Wire wrap screen manufacturing method - Non conductive supports flank the mounting location of ribs for a wire wrap screen so as to limit penetration into the wire being fed over the ribs and resistance welded notwithstanding variations of applied force from the weld roller. Optionally the wire can be pre-rolled to approximately its end diameter in the finished screen ahead of the time it contacts a rib so as to minimize bending the wire over the rib which thins the wire. The supports are preferably ceramic and provide equal penetration of the rib into the wrap wire despite variations in loading by the weld roller. | 12-17-2009 |

| 20080302804 | Storage tank for cryogenic liquids - A new procedure for constructing cryogenic storage tanks involves erecting a freestanding metal liner. The liner is sized and configured to withstand the hydraulic forces the concrete wall of the tank being poured without the need for temporary stiffeners on the inside surface of lower portions of the liner. Lateral tension ties can be connected to anchor ties on an outward surface of the liner and used to tie the liner to outer formwork. These ties may be spaced up to about 2 m apart. Studs can also be provided on the outer surface of the liner, and a cylindrical ring of cryogenic steel can be integrated into the liner. | 12-11-2008 |

| 20110167349 | ANNOTATION FEATURE FOR PRODUCTION PARTS IN A MEDIA PRODUCTION SYSTEM - A system providing a user interface to annotate different items in a media production system such as in a digital non-linear post production system. Parts of the production, such as clips, frames and layers, that have an associated annotation are provided with a visual annotation marker. The annotation marker can use shape, color or animation to convey source, urgency, status or other information. Annotations can be text, freehand drawing, audio, or other. Annotations can be automatically generated. Annotations can be compiled into records, searched and transferred. A state of an application program can be stored and transferred to a remote system. The remote system attempts to recreate the original state of the application program. If the remote system is unable to do so, an image of the state of the application program is obtained, instead. Assignment of control to various functions of an application program is achieved by associating a function (i.e., modifying a parameter) with a user control at a remote location. | 07-07-2011 |

| 20090262005 | MOVING-ENTITY DETECTION - A system and method for enabling transmission of a stepped-frequency radar signal can involve a first antenna and a second antenna. The system can also involve receiving circuitry configured to receive detected reflections from the antennas and to generate data including information associated with frequency and phase shifts. The system can further involve a processor configured to receive the generated data from the receiving circuitry and to analyze the generated data to determine information associated with a moving object located at a side of a wall opposite to the system by differentiating reflections of the transmitted signal detected with the first antenna from reflections of the transmitted signal detected with the second antenna. | 10-22-2009 |
| 20090262006 | MOVING-ENTITY DETECTION - A system and method for detecting entities based on movement can involve transmission circuitry configured to enable transmission of a stepped-frequency radar signal, an antenna, and receiving circuitry configured to generate data including information associated with frequency and phase shifts between the transmitted signal and the reflections of the transmitted signal. The system also can involve a processor configured to analyze the generated data to determine information associated with a moving object located at a side of a wall different than a side of the wall of which the system is located. The analyzing can involve compensating for the effect of motion of the system on the phase shifts between the transmitted signal and the reflections of the transmitted signal. | 10-22-2009 |
