| 20100052426 | Power management system - A power supply system includes at least one power supply module and at least one redundant power supply module. A power supply module may include a charging resistor in parallel with an OR-ing device to keep all filter capacitors charged as long as at least one power supply module remains operational. This may avoid current spikes at turn on and may enable the redundant module to turn on without using soft start. | 03-04-2010 |
| 20100077238 | ENERGY EFFICIENCT POWER SUPPLY SYSTEM - An energy efficient power supply system is disclosed. The energy efficient power supply system comprises a plurality of power supply units and the power supply system may be coupled to the control logic. The control logic may be coupled to the power monitor unit. The power monitor unit may determine a power consumption value, which may represent power requirement of a power consuming system such as a computer system. The control logic may determine the power supply units of the plurality of power supply units that are to be activated to provide power to match the power requirement. The control logic may identify the power supply units that may be activated to operate at a maximum efficiency value while providing power specified by the power consumption value. | 03-25-2010 |
| 20100169690 | SYSTEM POWER MANAGEMENT USING MEMORY THROTTLE SIGNAL - According to some embodiments, power information associated with a computing system may be monitored. Based on the monitored power information, it may be determined whether a hardware memory throttling signal will be asserted and/or that a processor power control signal will be asserted. | 07-01-2010 |

| 20080277419 | Fluid Dispenser - Apparatuses and methods for dispensing at least one fluid are shown and described. Embodiments are operable to produce a mixture formed of desired fluids. The mixture can then be poured for subsequent use. | 11-13-2008 |
| 20090200410 | MODULAR GRINDING CORE AND GRINDING DEVICES INCORPORATING THE SAME - A modular grinding core includes a housing configured to be operatively installed in a variety of external grinding devices, a rasp support member having a coupling adapter configured to be operatively coupled to an actuation mechanism of a first external grinding device at a first time and to an actuation mechanism of a second external grinding device at a second time after being removed from the first external grinding device. The rasp support member includes a receptacle configured to removably receive any one of a variety of rasps. The rasp support member is configured to reciprocate in response a force exerted by the external grinding device. The modular grinding core further includes a grind block member resisting displacement of the food items or spices away from the rasp support member, and an adjustment mechanism allowing a user to adjust a gap between the grind block and rasp support members. | 08-13-2009 |
| 20100229736 | DEVICES AND SYSTEMS FOR COMPRESSING FOOD ARTICLES - Devices and systems for compressing food articles are shown and described. Embodiments of the present invention can be used to squeeze, press, extrude, or otherwise process food articles. The disclosed embodiments can include a lever with a plurality of gear teeth, a base with a plurality of gear teeth, and a receptacle. The gear teeth can engage one another. The lever and base can be actuated to move a piston head into and out of the receptacle to compress food. A piston assembly of the compression tool can provide a mechanical advantage to provide relatively high compressive forces. | 09-16-2010 |
| 20110000351 | MULTIPLE SLICING DEVICE - A multiple slicing device includes a frame including a receptacle and a plurality of cutting elements, and a working portion including an activation mechanism, a cam mechanism, and a forcing member. The activation mechanism can include two handles where moving one of the handles toward the other handle collapses the forcing member via the cam mechanism, onto a food item placed in the receptacle between the forcing member and the cutting elements, to efficiently and simultaneously cut or slice the food item into multiple pieces. | 01-06-2011 |

| 20080301009 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING FULFILLMENT SERVICES - Method and apparatus for providing inventory fulfillment services to customers who have small quantities of heterogeneous items to sell. A self-service registration interface for generating lists of items to sell via the inventory fulfillment service is provided. The inventory fulfillment service may provide pricing suggestions to the customer. The inventory fulfillment service may determine whether a listed item satisfies one or more listing rules. Shipping information for a list of items may be automatically generated and provided to the customer. The customer may ship the items in one shipment to a specified facility. The customer is the seller of record for all items listed. The customer may not be charged for services until an item is sold. A listing period may be specified for which listed items will be carried. If an item does not sell within the period, option(s) for disposal of the item may be provided. | 12-04-2008 |

| 20100109429 | ALLEVIATION OF AIRCRAFT LANDING GEAR LOADING USING A BRAKE CONTROL SCHEME - An electric brake system for an aircraft employs a brake control process to alleviate high dynamic structural loading of the aircraft landing gear caused by braking maneuvers. The system obtains and processes real-time data—which may include the current aircraft speed, the current brake pedal deflection position, and the current brake pedal deflection rate—to determine how best to control the onset of the brakes. The braking control scheme delays the onset of the desired braking condition to reduce high dynamic loading and lurching of the aircraft. | 05-06-2010 |
