20100011381MAPE loop performance on system-wide basis - A manage-analyze-plan-execute (MAPE) loop is performed on a system-wide basis in relation to subsystems of a computing system based on one or more parameters. Performing the MAPE loop results in a performance level at which each subsystem is to operate to conserve energy utilization on the system-wide basis such that the computing system still satisfies the parameters. The subsystem the performance level at which each subsystem is to operate is communicated to the subsystem. Each subsystem operates at the performance level communicated to the subsystem.01-14-2010

20100174234METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MAGNETICALLY CONTROLLING MOTION DIRECTION OF MECHANICALLY PUSHED CATHETER - The movement of a catheter through a medium, which may be living tissue such as a human brain, is controlled by mechanically pushing a flexible catheter having a magnetic tip through the medium and applying a magnetic field having a magnitude and a direction that guides the mechanically-pushed catheter tip stepwise along a desired path. The magnetic field is controlled in a Magnetic Stereotaxis System by a processor using an adaptation of a PID (proportional, integral, and derivative) feedback method. The magnetic fields are applied by superconducting coils, and the currents applied through the coils are selected to minimize a current metric.07-08-2010

20100281753Illuminated fishing rod - The illuminated fishing rod is elongated and flexible, having a handle end and a free end distal from the handle end. A handle includes a forward end secured to the rod's fixed end. First and second light sources are disposed on the handle. The first light source is aligned along a first radial projection from an axial center of the elongated hollow handle. The second light source is aligned along a second radial projection from the axial center of the elongated hollow handle. The first and second light sources project first and second light beams, respectively, away from the handle. A third light source is attached to the rod proximate the free distal end. The third light source projects a third light beam away from the free distal end of the elongated hollow fishing rod. The third light beam has a different color from both first and second light beams.11-11-2010
