Patent application number	Description	Published
20100263646	VARIABLE VOLUME CROSSOVER PASSAGE FOR A SPLIT-CYCLE ENGINE - An engine includes a crankshaft rotatable about a crankshaft axis. A compression piston is slidably received within a compression cylinder and operatively connected to the crankshaft such that the compression piston is operable to reciprocate through an intake stroke and a compression stroke during a single rotation of the crankshaft. An expansion (power) piston is slidably received within an expansion cylinder and operatively connected to the crankshaft such that the expansion piston is operable to reciprocate through an expansion stroke and an exhaust stroke during a single rotation of the crankshaft. A variable volume crossover passage interconnects the compression and expansion cylinders, and includes a variable volume housing to controllably regulate the air flow from the compression cylinder to the expansion cylinder.	10-21-2010

20100196552	Method of preparing popped fruit - A reduced-step method of producing puffed fruit pieces is provided. The invention is a two-part drying process, where the fruit is oven baked and then popped. The crispy fruit pieces can be flavored using flavorings. From the novel infusion-free and reduced step process the fruit pieces contain nutrients of their fresh fruit essence, making them a healthful and desirable snack. The method includes drying fruit pieces in a wind oven until a specified moisture-content of the fruit pieces are reached, then storing the fruit pieces in a refrigerated environment. The chilled fruit pieces are flavored, and then dehydrated in a low-pressure dehydration chamber until the fruit pieces change from a first state to a second state, and immediately packaged in a nitrogen-filled hermetically sealed package.	08-05-2010
20100196567	Method of preparing apple chips - A reduced-step method of producing puffed apple chips made from USDA certified organic apples is provided. The invention is a two-part drying process, where the apples are oven baked and then popped. The crispy apple chips can be flavored using flavorings such as natural, apple cinnamon, caramel, peach, green tea and chili, for example. From the novel infusion-free and reduced step process the apple pieces contain nutrients of their fresh fruit essence, making them a healthful and desirable snack. The method includes drying apple pieces in a wind oven until a specified moisture-content of the apple pieces is reached, then storing the apple pieces in a refrigerated environment. The chilled apple pieces are then flavored, and then dehydrated in a low-pressure dehydration chamber until the apple pieces change from a first state to a second state, and immediately packaged in a nitrogen-filled hermetically sealed package.	08-05-2010

20100238358	ADJACENT CHANNEL POWER SCAN - A method and apparatus are disclosed for determining the presence of adjacent channel interference. Received digital signals are processed to detect the existence of strong channels adjacent to the channel of interest and control signals may be generated based on the detection of strong adjacent channels. The control signals are then used to adjust the signal power of the received signals.	09-23-2010

20080256396	INTER-THREAD TRACE ALIGNMENT METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR A MULTI-THREADED PROCESSOR - Techniques for the design and use of a digital signal processor, including (but not limited to) for processing transmissions in a communications (e.g., CDMA) system. Inter-thread trace alignment with execution trace processing includes recording timing data relating to a common predetermined event. Such an event may be the number of cycles since a last thread initiated execution tracing or the number of cycles since all threads terminated execution tracing. The number of cycles at which a thread initiates execution tracing is referenced to the common predetermined event for maintaining the timing of execution tracing. The data relating to the common predetermined event is then updated to associate with the time at which the thread initiated execution tracing. The result is to permit aligning the timing data associated with all threads. Interrelated records permit reconstructing interdependent execution tracing information for threads operating in the multi-threaded processor, as well as synchronizing timing data for all operating threads.	10-16-2008
20100299668	Associating Data for Events Occurring in Software Threads with Synchronized Clock Cycle Counters - Methods, apparatuses, and computer-readable storage media are disclosed for reducing power by reducing hardware-thread toggling in a multi-processor. In a particular embodiment, a method is disclosed that includes collecting data from a plurality of software threads being processed by a processor, where the data for each of the events includes a value of an associated clock cycle counter upon occurrence of the event. Data is correlated for the events occurring for each of the plurality of threads by starting each of a plurality of clock cycle counters associated with the software threads at a common time. Alternatively, data is correlated for the events by logging a synchronizing event within each of the plurality of software threads.	11-25-2010

20110055288	MECHANISM FOR MAKING CHANGES TO SERVER FILE SYSTEM - A method, apparatus, and computer product are provided for implementing changes to a file system of computing device. A virtual file system is created as a copy of a hierarchical structure of a file system of a computing device. The virtual file system appears as the actual file system when displayed and is a graphical representation of the file system. Changes can be made to the virtual file system without affecting the file system. Responsive to the changes, an appearance of the virtual file system is correspondingly modified to reflect the changes. Responsive to the changes, commands are generated corresponding to the changes. The commands reflect changes to the virtual file system, and the commands are stored. The commands are provided for execution on the computing device, and the commands cause the file system of the computing device to reflect changes made to the virtual file system.	03-03-2011
