| 20110152740 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR COLLECTION OF FILTERED BLOOD COMPONENTS - A method and apparatus for red blood collection and filtration is provided wherein a red blood cell collection assembly provides for leukoreduction filtration concurrent with or soon after the red blood cell separation and collection procedure. After red blood cells have been collected, an unwanted blood component, e.g., buffy coat, is diverted into the red blood cell collect line. Operation of a peristaltic pump engaging pump loop allows insertion of a pre-determined quantity of buffy coat into the collect line. The buffy coat can therefore push red blood cells out of the filter and into a collect bag without diluting the collected red blood cells. Alternatively, gravitational force may be used to allow the unwanted blood component to displace red blood cells out of the filter. | 06-23-2011 |

| 20090150892 | Interrupt controller for invoking service routines with associated priorities - An interrupt controller efficiently manages execution of tasks by a multiprocessor computing system. The interrupt controller has inputs for receiving service requests for invoking service routines. The service routines have higher priorities than the tasks executed on the processors. Associated with each processor is a register for storing the priority of the task executing on the processor. A comparator coupled to the processors determines the processor executing the task having a lower priority among the priorities of the tasks executing on the processors. For each service request received, a distributor generates an interrupt request for invoking the service routine of the service request on the processor with the lower priority. The register with the lower priority is set to the higher priority of the service routine in response to the interrupt request. For each processor, the interrupt controller has an output for transmitting the interrupt request to the processor. | 06-11-2009 |

| 20090016177 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MUSICAL PLAYLIST SELECTION IN A PORTABLE AUDIO DEVICE - A portable audio playing device implements a jukebox manager function to permit the simple generation of musical playlists and the alteration or editing of existing playlists. Data, such as MPEG-3 data or other conventional audio format data, may be readily downloaded into the system for storage in a solid state memory or in a spinning media device. The audio tracks are associated with one or more metatags that are used to describe the content of each track. The metatags and associated audio tracks are stored in a data structure that may be implemented as a database or other convenient data structure that readily permits searching by user-specified search terms. The user generates a new playlist by selecting one or more metatags corresponding to the desired musical tracks. The system queries the data structure using the user-specified metatags and automatically generates a playlist containing one or more audio tracks whose metatags correspond to the user-specified metatags. Alternatively, the system may perform the same query and simply generate a results list that will allow the user to manually specify which of the audio tracks identified by the search process will be added to the newly created playlist. The system also permits the simple editing of existing playlists. New audio tracks may be added in the manner described above using metatags for searching or maybe manually added from the list of stored audio tracks. The system readily supports different audio formats and different playlist types. | 01-15-2009 |

| 20080235325 | IDENTIFYING APPROPRIATE CLIENT-SIDE SCRIPT REFERENCES - The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for identifying appropriate client-side script references. Embodiments of the invention facilitate tailoring a list of script references to send to a Web browser based on a list of script references included in a server page. Referenced scripts sent to a Web browser can differ from referenced scripts included in the server page. Script references sent to a Web browser can refer to scripts optimized for the execution environment of the Web browser and to scripts stored at preferred script sources. Further, duplicate script references are removed prior to sending a list of script references to the Web browser. Since script lists sent to Web browsers are tailored for execution environment and duplicates are removed, scripts can be loaded and processed more effectively at Web browsers. | 09-25-2008 |
| 20080271046 | DYNAMICALLY LOADING SCRIPTS - The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for dynamically loading scripts. Web pages can include references to script loaders that control the loading of other scripts at a Web browser. A script loader can load scripts in accordance with script loading rules that override the default script loading behavior of the Web browser. Script loading rules can cause scripts to load in a different order than encountered in a Web pager, load in parallel, load in a manner that limits cross-domain requests, etc. Script loading rules are configurable such at that a developer can create customized script loading behavior. | 10-30-2008 |
| 20080301702 | AUTOMATED GENERATION OF DIFFERENT SCRIPT VERSIONS - The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for automated generation of different script versions. Received scripts can include comments containing descriptive data from which instructions for implementing specified further functionality (e.g., debugging, testing, tracing, etc.) can be inferred. Received scripts can also include anonymous function names. Modules within a script pre-processor can access the descriptive data and infer instructions for implementing specified further functionality. Modules with the script preprocessor can also infer and assign global identifiers to anonymous functions such that the scripts are subsequently identifiable using the global identifiers. The modules within the script pre-processor can interoperate to generate versions of the script that implement the specified further (e.g., debugging) functionality without requiring a developer to write additional code. | 12-04-2008 |

| 20090063867 | Method, System and Computer Program Product for Preventing Execution of Software Without a Dynamically Generated Key - A method, system and computer program product for partitioning the binary image of a software program, and partially removing code bits to create an encrypted software key, to increase software security. The software program's binary image is partitioned along a random segment length or a byte/nibble segment length, and the code bits removed, and stored, along with their positional data in a software key. The software key is encrypted and is separately distributed from the inoperable binary image to the end user. The encrypted key is stored on a secure remote server. When the end user properly authenticates with the developer's remote servers, the encrypted security key is downloaded from the secure remote server and is locally decrypted. The removed code bits are reinserted into the fractioned binary image utilizing the positional location information. The binary image is then operable to complete execution of the software program. | 03-05-2009 |
| 20090063868 | Method, System and Computer Program Product for Preventing Execution of Pirated Software - A method, system and computer program product for preventing execution of pirated software. A file is loaded on an end user's computer containing a binary image that is generated by removing one or more code bits from an executable code. A request is sent to a remote server to return a software key required for execution of the executable code from the binary image. The software key is downloaded to the end user's computer on which the binary image is loaded. One or more bits from the software key is inserted into the appropriate location of the binary image to regenerate the executable code. The executable code is enabled for execution on the end user's computer only following the embedding of the one or more bits. | 03-05-2009 |
