| 20100125436 | Identifying Deterministic Performance Boost Capability of a Computer System - A benchmark tester retrieves a voltage margin that corresponds to a device that a system includes. The voltage margin indicates an additional amount of voltage to apply to a nominal voltage that, when added, results in the device operating at a power limit while executing a worst-case power workload. Next, the benchmark tester (or thermal power management device) sets an input voltage for the device to a value equal to the sum of the voltage margin and the nominal voltage. The benchmark tester then dynamically benchmark tests the system, which includes adjusting the device's frequency and input voltage while ensuring that the device does not exceed the device's power limit. In turn, the benchmark tester records a guaranteed minimum performance boost for the system based upon a result of the benchmark testing. | 05-20-2010 |

| 20080305114 | HUMAN ANTIBODIES THAT BIND HUMAN IL-12 AND METHODS FOR PRODUCING - Human antibodies, preferably recombinant human antibodies, that specifically bind to human interleukin-12 (hIL-12) are disclosed. Preferred antibodies have high affinity for hIL-12 and neutralize hIL-12 activity in vitro and in vivo. An antibody of the invention can be a full-length antibody or an antigen-binding portion thereof. The antibodies, or antibody portions, of the invention are useful for detecting hIL-12 and for inhibiting hIL-12 activity, e.g., in a human subject suffering from a disorder in which hIL-12 activity is detrimental. Nucleic acids, vectors and host cells for expressing the recombinant human antibodies of the invention, and methods of synthesizing the recombinant human antibodies, are also encompassed by the invention. | 12-11-2008 |

| 20110055682 | CREATING, UPDATING, SAVING, AND PROPAGATING CUSTOMIZED VIEWS OF TABLE AND GRID INFORMATION - Systems, methods, and computer products that create, update, save, and propagate customized views of table and grid information, including spreadsheets. The embodiment of the invention comprises associating at least one column as a first view of the table, associating at least one column as a second view of the table; and combining the first view with the second view, thereby efficiently creating a third view. Further, the combining includes dragging the second view; and dropping the dragged second view into the first view. The combining also includes creating a thumbnail image representing the first view or the second view. It also comprises updating columns that are shared between views. Additionally, the views may be stored, and new views may be propagated from the stored views. | 03-03-2011 |
