| 20100157960 | WIRELESS ACCESS POINT SUPPORTING CONTROL BY MULTIPLE APPLICATIONS - A computing device configurable as a wireless network access point that can be controlled from multiple applications. The computing device provides an interface through which applications may input commands to change the state of the access point. The interface responds to these commands and other events, such as association or disassociation of a wireless client, in a manner that does not disrupt the applications or devices using the access point. To determine an appropriate response to any event, the interface may maintain state information, including a count of the number of applications and/or wireless devices that have taken action indicating an operating state of the wireless access point. | 06-24-2010 |

| 20090254924 | OPERATING SYSTEM INTERFACES FOR VIRTUAL WIFI AND SOFTAP CAPABLE DRIVERS - Some embodiments of the invention provide an interface between programmed instructions (e.g., an operating system) and a miniport driver configured to communicate with radio hardware on a computer. The interface may include components operable to invoke various wireless connectivity-related functionality implemented by the radio hardware and/or miniport driver. The functionality may, for example, include a capability whereby the computer may maintain simultaneous connections on a plurality of wireless networks using a single radio, and/or a capability whereby the computer may function as an access point for a wireless network. | 10-08-2009 |
| 20090290520 | WIRELESS NETWORK HOST IN SILENT MODE - An access point that implements operating modes in which beacons may be selectively disabled. Beacons may be disabled when no device is actively associated through the access point. Beacons may be enabled in response to one or more triggers, which may include events such as a client forming an association through the access point following a probe request message identifying the access point. In addition, active beaconing may be triggered by user input or may occur during periodic brief intervals that allow client devices to discover the network identifier for the access point. Selective control of beaconing may lead to more effective wireless communication, particularly in areas where users congregate with computers implementing soft APs for personal networks. | 11-26-2009 |

| 20100003130 | Windmill device - A wind power engine including a stator having stator blades and a rotor having rotor blades. The rotor is positioned inside the hollow area of the stator and is rotationally movable with respect to the stator about an axis of rotation. The stator blades are positioned in such a way that an air flow coming from the outside of the stator is oriented towards the rotor and the rotor blades. The oriented airflow allows the rotor blades to drive the rotor about the axis of rotation. At least certain rotor blades have a concave-shaped profile on one of their faces. | 01-07-2010 |
