| 20080270461 | Data containerization for reducing unused space in a file system - An apparatus and method for containerization of multiple data objects within a block of a single container. The apparatus and method may pack multiple data objects together in a block of a logical container in a file system. The method may include receiving data in the form of multiple data objects to be stored in a file system, and collectively data packing the multiple data objects together in at least one block of a logical container in the file system. The block is a fundamental unit of storage space of the file system, and each block of the logical container includes multiple extents to store data from at least one data object of the multiple objects. The apparatus may include a plurality of storage devices coupled to a storage server. The storage server is configured to store the multiple data objects in at least one block of the logical container in the file system. Some data objects may be stored in multiple extents of one or more blocks depending on the size of the data object. | 10-30-2008 |
| 20110040795 | MERGING CONTAINERS IN A MULTI-CONTAINER SYSTEM - An apparatus and method for merging the data of a first container and a second container into a target container that includes at least one block having a plurality of extents to store data objects. The apparatus may include a storage sever coupled to a plurality of storage devices. The storage server is configured to merge multiple data objects of the plurality of containers that store a data object per each container into a target container that stores multiple data objects within the target container. | 02-17-2011 |

| 20090124401 | Amusement Apparatus - An amusement apparatus has a platform, pulleys mounted below the platform, a cable extending around the pulleys, a motor coupled to a pulley to cause the cable to move, a passenger vehicle supported by wheels on the platform, and a swing coupling having a horizontal arm coupled to the passenger vehicle and a vertical element coupled to the arm and coupled to the cable. The cable traverses a path having both left and right turns. In one embodiment, the platform defines a continuous slot located above and substantially following the path. In another embodiment, the platform defines a continuous slot with first portions above but laterally parallel the cable on one side of the cable, second portions above and laterally parallel the cable on the other side of the cable, and third portions crossing over the cable and connecting the first and second portions. Different swing coupling arrangements are described. | 05-14-2009 |
| 20090200504 | SWABBABLE NEEDLE-FREE INJECTION PORT VALVE SYSTEM WITH ZERO FLUID DISPLACEMENT - An improved needle-free intravenous injection port assembly is disclosed. Embodiments include a boot valve with a helical surface, a boot valve and septum which mate with mechanical interference, a spike with a rough outer surface coated with a lubricant, a septum having a shoulder and a single continuous swabbable surface, a septum and a boot valve which are pre-punctured, a septum with a frustroconical extension and a combination single piece septum and boot valve. The injection port assembly provides zero fluid displacement during coupling and uncoupling. | 08-13-2009 |
| 20110111870 | Amusement Apparatus - An amusement apparatus has a platform with a slot that follows a continuous course including both clockwise and counterclockwise turns, a plurality of cars each supported by respective wheels that ride on the platform, an elongate flexible drive member that translates along a path corresponding to the slot, a plurality of couplers corresponding to the plurality of cars, each respective coupler including a member which couples a corresponding car to the drive member with the couplers allowing the corresponding cars to move away from the slot in opposite directions in response to whipping forces resulting from translational movement of the drive member in clockwise and counterclockwise turns of the path, and springs for the cars that act on the cars to move the cars toward the slot in order to counteract the movement of the car away from the slot as caused by the whipping forces. | 05-12-2011 |

| 20080289567 | Method and Apparatus for a Gauge for Indicating a Pressure of a Fluid - The invention relates to a method and apparatus for a gauge for indicating a pressure of a fluid, including a gauge having a face where the face has a first plurality of graduation marks, each for indicating a pressure in an ascending direction. The face also has a second plurality of graduation marks, each for indicating a pressure in a descending direction. In addition, the gauge includes a sensor magnet for detecting the pressure of the fluid, a pointer magnet coupled to a pointer and in communication with the sensor magnet for moving the pointer in correspondence with a movement of the sensor magnet, and wherein the pointer traverses across both the first and second pluralities of graduation marks for indicating the pressure of the fluid in either an ascending direction or descending direction. | 11-27-2008 |

| 20110089591 | Methods and Systems for Manufacturing Composite Parts - Methods and apparatuses for manufacturing a composite part are provided. One method includes cutting a material into a plurality of pieces and marking each of the plurality of pieces of material with a unique indicium. This method also includes placing one of the pieces of material in a mold cavity, detecting a signal from the indicium on the piece of material, and verifying that the piece of material was placed in the mold cavity in the correct location based on the signal from the indicium. The placing, detecting, and verifying steps are performed for each of the plurality of pieces of material. The pieces of material are then molded together to form the composite part. | 04-21-2011 |
