| 20110047618 | Method, System, and Computer Program Product for Malware Detection, Analysis, and Response - A method, system, and computer program product for detecting malware from outside the host operating system using a disk, virtual machine, or combination of the two. The method, system, and computer program product detects malware at the disk level while computer files in the host operating system are in actual program execution by identifying characteristic malware properties and behaviors associated with the disk requests made. The malware properties and behaviors are identified by using rules that can reliably detect file-infecting viruses. The method, system, and computer program product also uses the disk processor to provide accelerated scanning of virus signatures, which substantially decreases overhead incurred on the host operating system by existing malware detection techniques. In the event that malware is detected, the method, system, and computer program product can respond by limiting the negative effects caused by the malware and help the system recover to its normal state. | 02-24-2011 |

| 20100103261 | BICYCLE HANDLEBAR VIDEO SYSTEM - A bicycle video system for facilitating improved aerodynamic positioning of a bicyclist. The bicycle video system includes a video display. The video display is used by the bicyclist to view an area in front of the bicycle. The video display allows the bicyclist to ride while maintaining a lowered head position to see an area in front of the bicycle. The bicycle video system also includes a video camera. The video camera is in electrical communication with the video display. The video camera is positioned in a direction toward an area in front of the bicycle to capture images in front of the bicycle. The video camera may transmit a video signal representative of a real-time image of an area in front of the bicycle to the video display. The video display may continuously receive real-time images of an area in front of the bicycle. | 04-29-2010 |
| 20110181015 | Aerodynamic Brake System - An aerodynamic braking system is disclosed herein. In particular, the brake arms may define an aerodynamic leading portion or edge and may be integrated into the legs of the front fork. Also, the brake arms may be disposed behind the bottom bracket shell to take the rear brake out of the air flow path and reduce aerodynamic drag. The rear brake arms are tapered so that the brake arms remain sufficient stiff to provide sufficient brake response times. The rear brake arms may be matched to recesses formed on an underside of chain stays. | 07-28-2011 |

| 20080234820 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MAMMALIAN JOINT RESURFACING - A method and system for the creation or modification of the wear surface of orthopedic joints, involving the preparation and use of one or more partially or fully preformed and procured components, adapted for insertion and placement into the body and at the joint site. In a preferred embodiment, component(s) can be partially cured and generally formed ex vivo and further and further formed in vivo at the joint site to enhance conformance and improve long term performance. In another embodiment, a preformed balloon or composite material can be inserted into the joint site and filled with a flowable biomaterial in situ to conform to the joint site. In yet another embodiment, the preformed component(s) can be fully cured and formed ex vivo and optionally further fitted and secured at the joint site. Preformed components can be sufficiently pliant to permit insertion through a minimally invasive portal, yet resilient enough to substantially assume, or tend towards, the desired form in vivo with additional forming there as needed. | 09-25-2008 |
