| 20080263238 | MULTIPLE LOGICAL INPUT/OUTPUT SUBSYSTEM FACILITY - An input/output subsystem is configured as a plurality of input/output subsystem images, each of which appears to a program as an independent input/output subsystem. An input/output subsystem image is identified by an input/output subsystem image identifier, which is used by various programs to designate the particular input/output subsystem image for which an I/O operation is to be performed. An input/output subsystem image includes, for instance, one or more input/output paths. An input/output path of an input/output subsystem image is identified by an input/output path identifier, as well as a physical input/output path identifier. | 10-23-2008 |
| 20090182984 | Execute Relative Long Facility and Instructions Therefore - A method, system and program product for an execute relative instruction, which when executed fetches and executes a target instruction at a relative address and then returns processing to the next instruction following the execute relative instruction. The relative address is formed by adding the value of the program counter to a sign extended immediate field. The fetched target instruction is optionally modified before execution by OR'ing bits into predetermined bits of the target instruction. | 07-16-2009 |
| 20090210584 | EXCEPTION CONDITION DETERMINATION AT A CONTROL UNIT IN AN I/O PROCESSING SYSTEM - A computer program product, apparatus, and method for providing exception condition feedback at a control unit to a channel subsystem in an I/O processing system are provided. The computer program product includes a tangible storage medium readable by a processing circuit and storing instructions for execution by the processing circuit for performing a method. The method includes receiving a command message at the control unit from the channel subsystem, and detecting an exception condition in response to unsuccessful execution of at least one command in the command message. The method further includes identifying a termination reason code associated with the exception condition, writing the termination reason code to a response message, and sending the response message to the channel subsystem. | 08-20-2009 |
| 20090210768 | EXCEPTION CONDITION HANDLING AT A CHANNEL SUBSYSTEM IN AN I/O PROCESSING SYSTEM - A computer program product, apparatus, and method for handling exception condition feedback at a channel subsystem of an I/O processing system using data from a control unit are provided. The computer program product includes a tangible storage medium readable by a processing circuit and storing instructions for execution by the processing circuit for performing a method. The method includes sending a command message to the control unit, and receiving a response message in response to the command message. The response message includes exception condition feedback identifying a termination reason code in response to unsuccessful execution of at least one command in the command message. The method also includes interrupting a CPU in the I/O processing system, and reporting status associated with the exception condition feedback to the CPU in an interrupt response block. | 08-20-2009 |

| 20100087765 | Build-a-boot - A heel supporting and protective boot for bed-ridden patients who may otherwise develop pressure sores on their heel. The body of the boot is comprised of a fiber and angled foam combination heretofore not used. The boot additionally has sewn tube holes on both sides allowing for use of medical tubing such as with a sequential compression pump. The inner portion material of the boot is a soft liner fabric which is antibacterial and absorbs moisture. The outer portion material of the boot is a fabric with fluid resistance. Further, the boot has a soft fiber-filled flap covering the shin portion of the leg to prevent pressure on the dorsal side of the lower leg. The boot additionally has a foot-position strap sewn and placed to the bottom of the boot running along both sides of the boot and attaching at the top of both sides of the upper boot to assist with the prevention of foot drop. Said invention further uses an opening at the heel which allows the heel to remain exposed to air as a result of proper elevation and cushioning created by the unique combination of fiber and angled foam in the body of said device. The elements incorporated address important factors in preventing or allowing healing of heel sores, or enhancing the curing of existing ulcers while minimizing chances of foot drop and minimizing chances of new pressure points. The fiber/foam combination, dual fabric content, shin flap, tubing holes, foot position strap and open heel design all work together to ensure proper healing and prevention of decubitis ulcers. | 04-08-2010 |
| 20110180074 | Build-a-boot - A heel supporting and protective boot for bed-ridden patients who may otherwise develop pressure sores on their heel. The body of the boot is comprised of unitary exterior and interior body forms that are stitched together to combine fiber filling and an angled foam wedge. The boot additionally has sewn tube holes on both sides allowing for insertion of medical tubing, as may be necessary. The inner fabric of the boot is antibacterial and moisture absorbent, while the outer fabric is moisture repellant. The boot is fabricated with left and right “Y-straps” that provide secure upper and lower fastening of the boot as it envelops the patient's foot and lower leg. Also utilized are two “loop” straps and a T-stabilizer which stabilize the boot and keep the foot at a 90 degree angle to help eliminate foot drop. An opening at the heel of the boot, and a circular cutout in the foam wedge, allow the heel to remain exposed to air, provide proper elevation, and enhance blood circulation. The fiber/foam combination, dual fabric covering, foot positioning straps, and open heel design all work together to enhance the healing of existing ulcers, while minimizing the occurrence of foot drop and the occurrence of new pressure points. | 07-28-2011 |

| 20120002586 | HYBRID RADIO ARCHITECTURE FOR REPEATERS USING RF CANCELLATION REFERENCE - A wireless repeater includes a receiver circuit implemented as an intermediate frequency (IF) subsampling receiver and a transmitter circuit implemented as a direct conversion (zero-IF) transmitter. The repeater further includes a reference receiver implemented as an IF subsampling receiver to sample a portion of the transmit signal prior to over-the-air transmission for use as the reference signal for channel estimation. Highly accurate channel estimation is obtained by using the reference signal from the reference receiver as the reference signal accounts for distortions in the transmitter circuit of the repeater. The repeater may include an echo canceller to cancel an estimated feedback amount from an input signal based on the channel estimation. | 01-05-2012 |
