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.

20150101228 | LIVE-ROUND PREVENTION WITH MAGAZINE MODIFICATION - The present invention is a modified magazine adapted to prevent live ammunition from being loaded therein and subsequently chambered into and discharged from a firearm. The magazine includes a restriction plate positioned within a cavity of the magazine and securely coupled to an interior surface of a front wall of the magazine. The restriction plate has a thickness sufficient to reduce the size of the opening of the magazine and prevent the loading of a live round into the magazine. The length of the modified opening, as reduced by the thickness of the restriction plate, is less than the length of the live round of ammunition, thereby preventing loading and/or feeding of a live round of ammunition into the magazine and further preventing discharge of a live round from the firearm. The reduced size of the opening is sufficient to receive only blank rounds of ammunition. | 04-16-2015 |
20150101231 | LIVE-ROUND PREVENTION WITH BUILT-IN BLANK FIRING ADAPTER - The invention relates to safety components/modifications for a firearm barrel for preventing discharge of live ammunition from the firearm. The invention includes one embodiment of a modified barrel including a rod member transversely positioned within a portion of the bore of the barrel adjacent to the chamber to prevent chambering or loading of a live round. The modified barrel further includes a standard blank-firing adapter (BFA) fixedly coupled to the distal or muzzle end of the barrel. | 04-16-2015 |

20130082137 | RAIL RECOVERY SYSTEM FOR AIRCRAFT - The present invention's side-arm recovery system enables large Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UASs) to operate from small vessels or from ground sites with a minimal footprint. The side-arm recovery system allows arresting an UAS independent of a runway. On the ground or on a ship, the system makes use of a specialized crane system that includes capture and energy absorption devices. A fuselage-mounted top hook snags a horizontal cable and the arresting forces act in the plane of symmetry through the central structure of the UAS. After the capture energy is absorbed, the recovery system safely lowers the aerial vehicle to a ground handling cart. The same system can be combined into a launcher and retriever system which further reduces the footprint by eliminating the need for a separate launcher. | 04-04-2013 |

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 |
