Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110219789FAST ICE MAKING DEVICE - A refrigerator includes a fast ice making device for quickly producing ice cubes. The fast ice making device includes a mold body having a plurality of ice forming cavities adapted to hold fluid. In an ice making cycle, a vacuum system evacuates air from the cavities, thereby depressurizing the cavities. Then, a liquid delivery system delivers liquid to the depressurized cavities, whereby an initial portion of the liquid bubbles up within the respective cavities. Overall, a cooler fluid is established at the beginning of an ice making cycle, thus accelerating the rate at which ice cubes are formed within the fast ice making device. Once ice cubes have been formed within the cavities, a heat transfer system is utilized to heat the cavities, thereby slightly melting the ice cubes and aiding in the expulsion of ice cubes from the cavities.09-15-2011

20080212597Method and apparatus for filtering data packets - Disclosed is a method and apparatus for filtering received data packets. A hierarchical tree is maintained. The tree includes nodes organized in a plurality of levels. Each level above a root node of the tree has one or more of the nodes, with each of the one or more of the nodes corresponding to a particular value of a segment of an Internet Protocol (IP) address. The segment is the same for each node of a particular level of the tree. Each node at a particular level of the tree stores a number representative of the number of received packets having the same value for the segment of the IP address associated with the particular level. Some of the received data packets are filtered out based on the hierarchical tree.09-04-2008

20080225103Systems and Methods for Adjusting Loading of Media Onto A Print Surface - In one embodiment, a system and method pertains to detecting a position of a sheet of media that has been loaded onto the print surface, determining from the detected position a current loading error with which the media sheet has been loaded onto the print surface, and calculating a loading offset that can be used to adjust the position at which a future media sheet will be loaded onto the print surface.09-18-2008
20080228293System and method for tuning positioning mechanisms for printing apparatus - A method of controlling parameters of a positioning mechanism of a printer comprises calculating a deceleration profile of decaying velocity versus position function by defining the function to represent a specimen motor velocity decay from a maximum velocity to zero velocity over a period during which zero voltage is applied to the specimen motor; and moving a load using the positioning mechanism and the calculated deceleration profile between positions and determining parameter values based on an iterative process.09-18-2008

20110257998INTEROPERABILITY TOOLS AND PROCEDURES TO AGGREGATE AND CONSOLIDATE LAB TEST RESULTS - A method for providing interoperability of laboratory records of a patient is provided. The method includes receiving, using a hardware processor, incoming lab test data at a central server. The incoming lab test data includes a plurality of different formats and is stored on the central server in the formats received. The lab test data is then converted into a unified format to obtain unified format lab test data. The unified format lab test data is then correlated using the hardware processor, based on a healthcare identification code to obtain correlated data and is recorded, using the hardware processor, into a single document.10-20-2011
