Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20120074083Rack for sports equipment - A device is provided for retaining an elongated article including two oppositely oriented arcuate members. The device also includes a member extending between and connecting the arcuate members, and an arrangement mounted on each of the arcuate members for releasably engaging the article. The device further includes an arrangement associated with each of the arcuate members for mounting the arcuate members on a surface. The elongated article may include a piece of sporting equipment. A retaining device is provided that includes a frame including two arcuate members connected by a cross member. Each arcuate member is oriented opposite to the other arcuate member. The retaining device also includes at least one clip mounted on the frame and adapted to releasably engage an elongated article. The retaining device further includes a mounting arrangement connected to the frame and adapted to attach the frame to a surface.03-29-2012

20100202199TRACKING CELLS FOR A MEMORY SYSTEM - Tracking cells are used in a memory system to improve the read process. The tracking cells can provide an indication of the quality of the data and can be used as part of a data recovery operation if there is an error. The tracking cells provide a means to adjust the read parameters to optimum levels in order to reflect the current conditions of the memory system. Additionally, some memory systems that use multi-state memory cells will apply rotation data schemes to minimize wear. The rotation scheme can be encoded in the tracking cells based on the states of multiple tracking cells, which is decoded upon reading.08-12-2010
20110141816Tracking Cells For A Memory System - Tracking cells are used in a memory system to improve the read process. The tracking cells can provide an indication of the quality of the data and can be used as part of a data recovery operation if there is an error. The tracking cells provide a means to adjust the read parameters to optimum levels in order to reflect the current conditions of the memory system. Read operations are performed on the tracking cells, where threshold voltages of physical states of the tracking cells are further apart than threshold voltages of physical states of non-tracking cells. Based on the read operations, an extent to which the tracking cells are errored is determined.06-16-2011

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110151419Method and Apparatus for Personal Awareness and Growth - An presentation generator is disclosed for generating presentations for interacting with a user on a personal topic of, e.g., the user's selection, wherein the presentations assist the user in obtaining a greater awareness of his/her motivations and/or behaviors relating to the topic. In one embodiment, the presentation generator generates and presents to the user textual observations, questions, and/or statements for the user's consideration. Such presentations use and/or are consistent with textual descriptions obtained from: (a) the results of one or more personality/motivation test results, and (b) user inputs, e.g., regarding the selected topic together with his/her confidence in the validity of such inputs. The invention organizes the textual descriptions so that outputs to the user can be generated from various personality/motivational perspectives thereby assisting the user in viewing the topic of discussion from different perspectives and thereby becoming more aware of his/her biases, motivations, and/or concerns relating to the topic.06-23-2011

20090314187Portable Work Table - A portable work table adapted for being removably positioned within a storage compartment of a vehicle includes a frame having an upper wall with a generally planar top surface, a bottom wall, and storage units connecting the upper and bottom walls. A plurality of legs are movably mounted on the frame and movable between a first position such that the legs extend from the bottom surface for being engaged with a support surface such that the frame is positioned above the support surface to permit work to be readily carried out on the top surface and a second position such that the legs are retracted from the first position toward the bottom surface such that the frame is positionable within the storage compartment of the vehicle. The portable work table also includes a plurality of objects movably mounted on the frame via insert panels.12-24-2009

20090211728Hydro-Thermal Energy System - The present invention is a geo-thermal energy system comprised of: at least one extraction pump that draws water from a natural water source; at least one heat exchanger, each of which provides an energy source, from which one or more corresponding buildings can extract heat to provide heating, or into which each building can reject heat to provide cooling; a first length of piping between the water source and the heat exchanger that delivers the water to each heat exchanger; a second length of piping that discharges the water after exiting each heat exchanger; and at least one diversion junction that is coupled to either the first or second length of piping and provides non-potable water to a fire protection system, or other potable water use, within each building. The discharged water is discharged back to the same water source, a second natural water source, a well, or a drainage system without adding any contaminants to the water.08-27-2009
