| 20120113671 | QUANTUM DOT BASED LIGHTING - Systems and methods are described that relate to quantum dot (QD) structures for lighting applications. In particular, quantum dots and quantum dot containing inks (comprising mixtures of different wavelength quantum dots) are synthesized for desired optical properties and integrated with an LED source to create a trichromatic white light source. The LED source may be integrated with the quantum dots in a variety of ways, including through the use of a small capillary filled with quantum dot containing ink or a quantum dot containing film placed appropriately within the optical system. These systems may result in improved displays characterized by higher color gamuts, lower power consumption, and reduced cost. | 05-10-2012 |

| 20090285268 | Signal receiver using data bit search in alternating time segments - A GNSS receiver and method using alternating “A” and “B” time segments for a reception time length of two or more data bits. The GNSS signal in an “A” time period comprising the “A” time segments is integrated for determining “A” magnitudes corresponding to code phase increments and the GNSS signal in a “B” time period comprising the “B” time segments is integrated for determining “B” magnitudes corresponding to code phase increments. A trial-and-error data bit search is performed for depolarizing data bit senses. The code phase increment showing the largest correlation level is used for acquisition of the GNSS signal and/or determination of the location where the GNSS is being received. | 11-19-2009 |

| 20120009559 | AUTOMATED CELL CULTURE SYSTEM AND PROCESS - The present invention relates generally to the field of cell culture, which is a laboratory process used primarily for the growth, propagation, and production of cells for analysis and the production and harvesting of cell products. The present invention comprises functionalized and/or engineered hydrogel microcarriers that exhibit any or all of the following properties: controllable buoyancy, ferro- or paramagnetism, molecular or fabricated reporting elements, and optical clarity. The microcarriers are used in a bioreactor that employs external forces to control said microcarrier kinetic energy and translational or positional orientation in order to facilitate cell growth and/or cellular analysis. The bioreactor can be part of an automated system that employs any or all of the following; a microcarrier manufacturing method, a monitoring method, a cell culture method, and an analytical method. Either a single bioreactor or a plurality of bioreactors are used in the automated system to enable cell culture and analysis with a minimum of human intervention. | 01-12-2012 |

| 20100008251 | EFFICIENT PROBABILISTIC DUPLICATE PACKET DETECTOR IN COMPUTER NETWORKS - In order to solve the problem of the detection of the arrival of duplicate data packets in an interconnected, multinode data processing system, each data packet is provided with a field of r bits that are randomly generated for each data packet. However, one of the packets is provided with a field that is computed from the other randomly generated field entries in a checksum computation which yields a selected nonzero checksum value. A running checksum at the receiver is used to determine whether or not, after the receipt of the specified number, k, of data packets, a duplicate packet has been received. | 01-14-2010 |

| 20110096076 | APPLICATION PROGRAM INTERFACE FOR ANIMATION - Many computer applications incorporate and support animation. Application performance may be enhanced by delegating animation management to an application program interface (animation API) for animation. Accordingly, an animation API for managing animation is disclosed herein. The animation API may be configured to sequentially interpolate values of animation variables defining animation movement of animation objects. The animation API may interpolate the values of the animation variables using animation transitions within animation storyboards. The animation API may be configured to determine durations of animation transitions based upon animation characteristics parameters (e.g., starting position, desiring ending position, starting velocity of an animation variable). Durations and start times of animation transitions may be determined based upon key frames. The animation API may be configured to resolve scheduling conflicts among one or more animation transitions. Also, the animation API may be configured to facilitate smooth animation while switching between animation transitions for an animation variable. | 04-28-2011 |

| 20110096077 | CONTROLLING ANIMATION FRAME RATE OF APPLICATIONS - Many computer applications incorporate and support animation (e.g., interactive user interfaces). Unfortunately, it may be challenging for computer applications and rendering systems to render animation frames at a smooth and consistent rate while conserving system resources. Accordingly, a technique for controlling animation rendering frame rate of an application is disclosed herein. An animation rendering update interval of an animation timer may be adjusted based upon a rendering system state (e.g., a rate of compositing visual layouts from animation frames) of a rendering system and/or an application state (e.g., a rate at which an application renders frames) of an application. Adjusting the animation rendering update interval allows the animation timer to adjust the frequency of performing rendering callback notifications (work requests to an application to render animation frames) to an application based upon rendering system performance and application performance. | 04-28-2011 |
