| 20090014150 | Vehicle Air Conditioner - The present invention provides an air conditioner for a vehicle that includes a closed refrigeration loop. The closed refrigeration loop includes a compressor, a refrigerant-to-coolant heat exchanger, a coolant-to-refrigerant heat exchanger and a refrigerant dryer in series fluid connection with one another. An engine coolant outlet connector is connected to the coolant-to-refrigerant exchanger. A compartment inlet connector connected to the coolant-to-refrigerant heat exchanger. A compartment outlet connector connected to the refrigerant-to-coolant heat exchanger. An engine coolant inlet connector connected to the refrigerant-to-coolant heat exchanger. | 01-15-2009 |
| 20110079561 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING HOT WATER WITHOUT A FLAME - The present invention provides a system and method for producing hot water without a flame. The system and method heats water to at least a specified temperature without a flame by providing a source of water and a prime mover, pumping water from the source of water into one or more heat exchangers, pre-heating the water using the one or more heat exchangers, heating the pre-heated water to at least the specified temperature without a flame using a dynamic heat generator driven by the prime mover, using the heated water in the one or more heat exchangers to pre-heat the water and providing the heated water to an output. | 04-07-2011 |

| 20110134180 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING A TEMPERATURE OF A PRINTHEAD BY CONFIGURING ITS I/O PAD TO MULTI-TASK - A system and method for controlling a temperature of a printhead by configuring its I/O pad to multitask. In one embodiment of the invention, a system includes an I/O pad affixed to the printhead to supply a signal to a circuit disposed on the printhead, a controller to interrupt the supply of the signal to the circuit when the temperature of the printhead exceeds a predetermined value, a drive mechanism to drive the I/O pad to a ground level when the temperature of the printhead falls back below the predetermined value, and a polling circuit to measure an electric level of the I/O pad such that the controller reestablishes the supply of the signal to the circuit when a ground level is measured by the polling circuit thereby providing an efficient way to constantly monitor and control the temperature of the printhead. | 06-09-2011 |

| 20100332646 | UNIFIED ENTERPRISE LEVEL METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ENHANCING APPLICATION AND STORAGE PERFORMANCE - A unified enterprise level method and system for enhancing a performance of applications and storage subsystems in a storage network are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method for enhancing the performance of the storage network having applications and storage subsystems includes collecting performance data associated with the applications and the storage subsystems, and generating performance profiles for a set of combinations of the applications and the storage subsystems implemented in the storage network based on the performance data. The method also includes receiving desired performance criteria for an application of the storage network, and applying a performance profile to configure the application and a storage subsystem assigned to the application substantially similar to the desired performance criteria. | 12-30-2010 |

| 20100306486 | POLICY-BASED APPLICATION AWARE STORAGE ARRAY SNAPSHOT BACKUP AND RESTORE TECHNIQUE - A method and system for performing a policy-based backup and recovery operation in a storage network is disclosed. In one embodiment, a method of performing a backup and restore operation in a storage network includes detecting each application entity in the storage network and configuring a backup and restore policy associated with the storage network for said each application entity. The storage network includes at least one host server and at least one storage array. The method also includes performing a backup operation of data associated with said each application entity based on the backup and restore policy using application utilities and operating system (OS) utilities configured to interface with said each application entity and a corresponding operating system of the at least one host server respectively, and using a storage array interface configured to directly interface with the at least one storage array. | 12-02-2010 |

| 20110197027 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR QoS-BASED STORAGE TIERING AND MIGRATION TECHNIQUE - The present invention is directed to a method for providing Quality Of Service (QoS)-based storage tiering and migration in a storage system. The method allows for configurable application data latency thresholds to be set on a per user basis and/or a per application basis so that a storage tiering mechanism and/or a storage migrating mechanism may be triggered for moving application data to a different class of storage. | 08-11-2011 |

| 20090201215 | QUADRIFILAR HELICAL ANTENNA - A quadrifilar helical antenna comprising two pairs of filars having unequal lengths and phase quadrature signals propagating thereon. A conductive H-shaped impedance matching element matches a source impedance to an antenna impedance. The impedance matching element having a feed terminal at the center thereof from which current is supplied to the two filars of each filar pair disposed about an edge of the impedance matching element and symmetric with respect to a center of the impedance matching element. The impedance matching element further comprises a reactive element for matching the antenna and source impedances. | 08-13-2009 |
