20110138428Transporting home networking frame-based communication signals over coaxial cables - A method and apparatus for coupling a system propagating wireless home networking communication signals to a system propagating television signals over a coaxial cable system to a device capable of receiving television signals that includes a three-port adapter having an antenna port, a first coaxial cable port and a second coaxial cable port. The antenna port is coupled to the system propagating home networking communications signals. The first coaxial cable port is coupled to the system propagating television signals over a coaxial cable. The second coaxial cable port is coupled to a device capable of receiving television signals.06-09-2011
20110176527SHARED ANTENNA CONTROL - A scheme for sharing antenna control pins in a wireless communications device implemented on a single CMOS integrated circuit is described. By providing a routing circuit for coupling the antenna control signal to the appropriate transceiver circuitry in a multi-transceiver system, antenna control signals may be efficiently processed using a minimum of pins on the wireless communication device.07-21-2011

20100122153APPARATUS, SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ELECTRONICALLY SIGNING ELECTRONIC TRANSCRIPTS - A method for electronically signing an electronic transcript. The method includes obtaining an image of a court reporter's signature which may be incorporated into an electronic transcript. A hash operation performed on the electronic transcript to generate a representation of the contents of the electronic transcript. The representation of the contents of the electronic transcript is recorded/time stamped by a digital notary service, from which a notary record of the time stamping is obtained from the digital notary service. The notary record is digitally signed, and an electronically signed electronic transcript is formed by bundling the digitally signed notary record with the electronic transcript and with the data identifying the user. In this manner, an electronic transcript with an electronic signature is created. The electronic transcript may be viewed, with the image displayed in the viewer having an image of the court reporter's signature.05-13-2010

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110198909Suspended pin chair - The Suspended Pin Chair is a piece of furniture intended for seating. The chair consists of a frame, tension material (which also serves as the seating material), and a suspended pin. The frame is built out of a rigid material and forms the basis of the structure of the chair. The tension material spans between the frame and the suspended pin, supporting the suspended pin in space in a fixed position, creating the seating surfaces of the chair. The geometry of the tension material is centered on the suspended pin with branches that extend outward from the suspended pin, connecting at corresponding locations on the frame. The suspended pin is built out of a rigid material that creates the center point around which the tension material is located. The suspended pin is not attached to the frame and is supported in a fixed position in space by the seating material.08-18-2011

20110002188Apparatus for Nonvolatile Multi-Programmable Electronic Fuse System - Electronic fuse (e-fuse) systems with multiple reprogrammability are provided. In one aspect, a reprogrammable e-fuse system is provided that includes a first e-fuse string; a second e-fuse string; a selector connected to both the first e-fuse string and the second e-fuse string configured to alternately select an e-fuse from the first e-fuse string or the second e-fuse string to be programmed; and a comparator connected to both the first e-fuse string and the second e-fuse string configured to compare a voltage across the first e-fuse string to a voltage across the second e-fuse string to determine a programming state of the e-fuse system.01-06-2011
20110141824LEAKAGE COMPENSATED REFERENCE VOLTAGE GENERATION SYSTEM - An e-fuse sense circuit employs a single ended sense scheme in which the reference voltage is compensated for leakage. A reference voltage generator includes a pull-up resistor of similar value to the selected bitline pull-up resistor. As the sensing trip point is adjusted by selection of a bitline pull-up resistor, a pair of pull-up and pull-down resistors are adjusted together to adjust the impedance of the reference voltage generator. A leakage-path simulation structure including a parallel connection of bitcells is added to the reference voltage generator. The leakage-path simulation structure imitates the bitcells on a bitline in the array of e-fuses. Leakage current on the bitline offsets the bitline voltage by a certain error voltage. The reference voltage is also offset by a fraction of the error voltage to balance the shifts in the ‘1’ and ‘0’ margin levels in the presence of leakage.06-16-2011

20090001794 RECLINABLE CHAIR - A chair includes a supporting frame and a seat portion which is foldable about a transverse fold to define a rearward portion behind the transverse fold and a forward portion, forward of the transverse fold. The seat portion is supported above the supporting frame by its rearward portion. The chair also includes a reclinable back portion and a recline mechanism with which the back portion is connected for reclining action of the back portion. The recline mechanism is operably linked to the rearward portion of the seat portion such that on reclining action of the back portion, the rearward portion is moved to increase in rearward tilt angle and to obtain a net increase in height above the supporting frame, with a consequent folding of the seat portion about the transverse fold line under the weight of the occupant.01-01-2009

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100202952NANOWIRE SYNTHESIS FROM VAPOR AND SOLID SOURCES - Methods of the present invention can be used to synthesize nanowires with controllable compositions and/or with multiple elements. The methods can include coating solid powder granules, which comprise a first element, with a catalyst. The catalyst and the first element should form when heated a liquid, mixed phase having a eutectic or peritectic point. The granules, which have been coated with the catalyst, can then be heated to a temperature greater than or equal to the eutectic or peritectic point. During heating, a vapor source comprising the second element is introduced. The vapor source chemically interacts with the liquid, mixed phase to consume the first element and to induce condensation of a product that comprises the first and second elements in the form of a nanowire.08-12-2010
