20110231824 | LOW-LEVEL CODE REWRITER VERIFICATION - Verification of low-level rewriters such as binary rewriters involves “vanilla” rewriting a file to generate a rewritten low-level file without performing any optimization, compaction, or other substantive low-level code transformation during the rewrite. Then the metadata of the original low-level file is automatically compared with matching metadata of the rewritten low-level file for semantic equivalence. A properly functioning rewriter produces semantically equivalent files, whereas a defective rewriter may produce files whose metadata semantics differ. Comparison may distinguish composite metadata entities from self-contained metadata entities, and transitive closures of metadata may be compared. Comparison may also test for bitwise equality of self-contained metadata entities, and test for equality between respective flags, strings, fields, and/or methods of the original and rewritten files. Syntactic variants may be detected during comparison, and metadata may be converted into a canonical form to facilitate comparison. | 09-22-2011 |

A system can identify offset error and amplification error that occurs when the system transitions from amplifying an input signal by a first gain factor to amplifying the input signal by a second gain factor. To identify the amplification error, the system can compare the slope of the data signal in a source or reference gain range with the slope of the data signal in the destination gain range. To identify the offset error, the system can compare the amplitude of the data signal in a destination gain range with an expected value in the destination gain range. | 09-24-2015 |

20110140689 | SIGNAL AMPLITUDE ADJUSTMENT TO IMPROVE RESOLVER-TO-DIGITAL CONVERTER PERFORMANCE - An interface system between an RDC and a connected resolver dynamically matches an input range of the RDC to the output range of the resolver's output signals. The interface system may include methods and/or apparatuses to determine the amplitude of sinusoidal input signals presented to the RDC by the resolver and to compare the amplitude against high and low threshold values. A gain control signal may be generated, which may be corrected if the detected amplitude either exceeds the high threshold or falls below the low threshold. The gain control signal may be output to a circuit in the RDC or in the resolver that corrects any mismatch that occurs between the RDC input and the resolver output. For example, the gain control signal may control the amplitude of an excitation signal applied to a primary of the resolver or the gain control signal may be applied to an analog to digital converter at the input of the RDC to control its effective input range. | 06-16-2011 |

20150294031 | Predicting the Carbon Footprint of Urban Stormwater Infrastructure - A planning system for planning the landscaping of a particular piece of land in terms of carbon footprint models predefined types of stormwater management infrastructure and assists a user in constructing a plan for managing the land's stormwater according to carbon footprint. The net carbon footprint of the plan is calculated according to type-specific equations that formulate carbon embodied in the materials, emitted during the construction, emitted during the maintenance, and sequestered by the materials of the one or more types of stormwater management infrastructure employed by the plan. The user is then presented with information useful for determining the net carbon footprint or determining a plan that most closely achieves a target net carbon footprint. | 10-15-2015 |

20120305523 | Polarizer Devices and Processes of Manufacture - A simple and innovative process for manufacturing a high performance mechanical polarizing device is provided. The invention utilizes an inexpensive, high output production process where a transparent film substrate is coated with a non-transparent layer by deposition or other wet or dry method. Then a photoresist or a nano-imprint lithography process is used to overlay the non-transparent coated film with a pattern. The exposed non-transparent material is then removed by means of acid or base etching or the use of other mechanical or nano-technology removal methods. The photoresist is then removed and a protective layer may then be applied to the polarizer substrate. According to another embodiment, nano-imprinting techniques are used to prepare the polarizer substrate. The process may be automated in one or more embodiments, and lends itself to a high speed production manufacturing line, utilizing roll-to-roll, sheet fed or other methods of automated manufacturing. | 12-06-2012 |

20110313219 | DEOXYGENATION OF BIOMASS DERIVED OXYGENATES TO HYDROCARBONS VIA DIRECT METHANE INTERVENTION - The application describes a process where methane or any short chained hydrocarbon could be catalytically coupled with an oxygenate (preferably derived from thermal processing of biomass) to dehydrate and produce a deoxygenated hydrocarbon. The presence of oxygen in biomass derivatives adversely affects its ability to be further processed into hydrocarbon fuels because the resulting water poisons many catalysts (including alumina containing catalysts, zeolites, etc.) found in petrochemical refineries. While commonly used hydrodeoxygenation methods require expensive hydrogen to instigate deoxygenation, the present process uses short chained hydrocarbons (such as methane or natural gas) to instigate hydrodeoxygenation. | 12-22-2011 |

20120058509 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR AFFIXING FROZEN TISSUE SECTIONS TO GLASS OR MEMBRANE MICROSCOPE SLIDES - This invention is an apparatus and method for affixing frozen tissue sections to microscope slides. It has three elements; teasing implements, an affixing block and a heating element. The elements are used inside a cryostat prior to processing for molecular biology procedures such as immunohistochemistry or laser micro dissection. The tissue sections are collected onto an affixing block which has indentations that decrease the contact surface area while providing structural support. The tissue sections are then transferred onto a slide via transient application of a heating element to the back of slide. The invention decreases folding of tissue sections, increases morphological consistency, enables the placement of many sections on one slide and enables the adherence of tissue sections with greater thickness. | 03-08-2012 |
