| 20110166959 | ENERGY MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEM - An energy use optimization tool includes logic to receive inventory information relating to a plurality of customer devices and store the inventory information. The logic calculates an estimated energy cost associated with the plurality of customer devices based on the received inventory information. The logic also calculates energy savings or environmental impact information based on energy savings or environmental impact information associated with available service offerings compared to the estimated energy cost. The calculated energy savings or environmental impact information is output to a user. | 07-07-2011 |

| 20090217280 | Shared-Resource Time Partitioning in a Multi-Core System - An improvement to computing systems is introduced that allows a hardware controller to be configured to time partition a shared system resource among multiple processing elements, according to one embodiment. For example, a memory controller may partition shared memory and may include processor-accessible registers for configuring and storing a rate of resource budget replenishment (e.g. size of a repeating arbitration window), a time budget allocated among each entity that shares the resource, and a selection of a hard or soft partitioning policy (i.e. whether to utilize slack bandwidth). An additional feature that may be incorporated in a main-memory-access time-partitioning application is an accounting policy to ensure that cache write-backs prompted by snoop transactions are charged to the data requester rather than to the responder. Additionally, an arbiter may prioritize requests from particular requesting entities. | 08-27-2009 |

| 20100186217 | LIGHTWEIGHT AUDIO SYSTEM FOR AUTOMOTIVE APPLICATIONS AND METHOD - A lightweight radio/CD player for vehicular application is virtually “fastenerless” and includes a case and frontal interface formed of polymer based material that is molded to provide details to accept audio devices such as playback mechanisms (if desired) and radio receivers, as well as the circuit boards required for electrical control and display. The case and frontal interface are of composite structure, including an insert molded electrically conductive wire mesh screen that has been pre-formed to contour with the molding operation. The wire mesh provides EMC, RFI, BCI and ESD shielding and grounding of the circuit boards via exposed wire mesh pads and adjacent ground clips. The PCB architecture is bifurcated into a first board carrying common circuit components in a surface mount configuration suitable for high volume production, and a second board carrying application specific circuit components in a wave soldered stick mount configuration. The major components and subassemblies are self-fixturing during the final assembly process, eliminating the need for dedicated tools, fixtures and assembly equipment. The major components and subassemblies self-interconnect by integral guide and connection features effecting “slide lock” and “snap lock” self-interconnection. The radio architecture includes improved push buttons employing 4-bar living hinge linkage and front loaded decorative trim buttons. | 07-29-2010 |
