| 20090199441 | High visibility ripper assembly and machine using same - A ripper assembly includes a beam assembly with a central ripper shank and tip flanked by a left linkage and a right linkage. In order to improve visibility of the central ripper shank and tip from an operator station of a track type tractor, the left linkage and the right linkage are unconnected to each other, except via the beam assembly. Without cross bracing between the left and right linkages, the beam assembly and individual linkages are configured to absorb side and twisting loads that may occur during production ripping. The ripper assembly left and right linkages may be of a fixed or variable parallelogram design. The hydraulic actuator(s) of the ripper assembly are configured to extend when moving to a dig position to provide a high penetration force. Part of the ripper assembly linkage shares a common pin with its associated hydraulic actuator. The ripper assembly may utilize a structurally efficient common pin shared between the beam assembly, lower link and hydraulic actuator on each side of the assembly. | 08-13-2009 |

| 20100082540 | SCALABLE RELATIONAL DATABASE REPLICATION - A relational database replication system includes a client, at least one primary database, a plurality of secondary databases and replication agents which coordinate database transactions. The system provides a high level of performance, reliability, and scalability with an end result of efficient and accurate duplication of transactions between the primary and secondary databases. In one implementation, the client transmits sets of database update statements to the primary database and primary agent in parallel; the primary agent replicates the statements to at least one secondary agent. A transaction prepare and commit process is coordinated between the primary database and the primary agent, which in turn coordinates with the at least one secondary agent. Databases can be partitioned into individual smaller databases, called shards, and the system can operate in a linearly scalable manner, adding clients, databases and replication agents without requiring central coordination or components that cause bottlenecks. | 04-01-2010 |

| 20100097074 | CONTINUOUS SERIES ARC GENERATOR - An arc fault demonstrator device for testing the efficacy of an arc fault interrupter (AFI) circuit breaker. The device includes a motor that moves a movable electrode relative to a stationary electrode under microprocessor control. A relay switches the electrodes connection between an arc voltage measurement circuit and an electrode close circuit. When current is applied to the electrodes, the measurement circuit provides voltage measurements to the microprocessor, which instructs the motor to move the electrodes closer or apart. When the arc voltage is below a low threshold, the electrodes are moved apart until the arc voltage exceeds a medium threshold. When the arc voltage exceeds a high threshold, the electrodes are moved closer until the arc voltage falls below the medium threshold. A switch switches between the AFI circuit breaker or a conventional circuit breaker to confirm that the AFI breaker will trip upon detection of the arc whereas the conventional breaker will not. | 04-22-2010 |

By way of example, a method for managing performance of tasks in threads associated with at least one processor comprises the following steps. One or more units of a first task type are executed. A count of the one or more units of the first task type executed is maintained. The count represents one or more credits accumulated by the processor for executing the one or more units of a first task type. One or more units of a second task type are executed. During execution of the one or more units of a second task type, a request to execute at least one further unit of the first task type is received. The amount of credits in the count is checked. When it is determined that there is sufficient credit in the count, the request to execute the at least one further unit of the first task type is forgone, and execution of the one or more units of the second task type continues. When it is determined that there is insufficient credit in the count, the at least one further unit of the first task type is executed. The first task type may be an overhead task type such as a garbage collection task type, and the second task type may be an application task type. | 04-29-2010 |

| 20090135810 | Device to terminate a modem relay channel directly to an IP network - A modem data aggregating gateway that supports modem relay functionality for permitting reliable switching of modem traffic between a VoIP network and a data packet switch Internet Protocol (IP) network, s.a. the Internet. The modem relay aggregator may receive modem data encapsulated as Voice over IP (VoIP) data packets in accordance with a Simple Packet Relay Transport (SPRT) mechanism. The packet data may be error corrected and/or decompressed before being repackaged for forwarding to the ultimate destination. In the event that the destination is itself an IP device, the modem relay aggregator may forward the packets directly over the IP network. As a result, if the destination of a modem call is an IP device (such as a Web site or other Internet-enabled device) the technique eliminates two points from a processing path in which digital signal processing (DSPs) would otherwise have to perform modem protocol processing. Otherwise, minimal modem reformatting can be performed at the aggregation point. | 05-28-2009 |
