| 20110191094 | SYSTEM AND METHOD TO EVALUATE AND SIZE RELATIVE SYSTEM PERFORMANCE - A method and computer storage medium useable for estimating expected processor utilization for a workload on a computing system are disclosed. One method includes calculating an estimated throughput for a first computing system using a predetermined model based on physical characteristics of the first computing system. The method further includes determining an estimated utilization of the first computing system based on a utilization of a second computing system and a ratio of throughput of the second computing system to the estimated throughput of the first computing system. | 08-04-2011 |

| 20090109071 | SERIAL DATA ANALYSIS IMPROVEMENT - A method for improving performance and flexibility of serial data analysis in test instruments, is independent of data bit rate, encoding scheme or communication protocol embodied in the serial data. The serial data is input to a transmitter section, where it is demultiplexed into a plurality of multi-bit lanes, such as n bits for each of N lanes. The N lanes are then encoded into characters, the encoded N lanes having m bits per lane where m>n. Bit stuffing is used to adjust the data rate and/or to insert qualifiers. The stuffed, encoded N lanes are then multiplexed into N serial lanes, which are output from the transmitter section for input to a receiver section at a data rate that is optimal for the receiver section. In the receiver section the N lanes are deserialized, decoded and input to a word recognizer to generate a trigger event signal. | 04-30-2009 |

| 20100228508 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PERFORMING BURST TRIGGERING IN A TEST AND MEASUREMENT INSTRUMENT - A test and measurement apparatus, system, and method for synchronizing an acquisition or triggering system to a specific burst of interest. The subject apparatus and method triggers on varying energy content of a signal qualified by time in the presence of high-frequency input signal bursts, by using an adjustable pulse width envelope detector, disposed in the signal path of the trigger circuitry, as a digital rectifier or to otherwise process and extract an envelope signal. An RF envelope probe having an analog envelope detector among other suitable components is disclosed. A method is implemented for isolating an interval of interest in a signal under test. An envelope detector circuit produces an envelope signal from the signal. Trigger circuitry receives the envelope signal from the envelope detector, and isolates the interval of interesting in the signal under test using the envelope signal. | 09-09-2010 |

| 20090013908 | Break down desk assembly - A break down desk is disclosed to facilitate an efficient storage disassembly and transport in compact shipping containers. The break down desk may be quickly and easily assembled and disassembled without the use of traditional tools and fasteners and with a minimal of assistance. A removable desktop is detachably connected to and across a pair of opposing side panels. The removable desktop includes a primary writing surface at the front, a file/paper stacking surface located behind the primary writing surface, and a pair of detachable side wings. A wire management channel, through which to receive an electrical wire from an electrical apparatus, runs around the desktop between the primary writing surface, the file/stacking surface, and the side wings. A cable routing trough, to guide the cable from an AC power strip received therewithin towards a source of power, is detachably connected between the pair of opposing side panels below the desktop. A cable access door is pivotally attached to the file/stacking surface of the desktop to be rotatable from a closed position, at which to prevent access to the cable routing trough through the desktop, to an open position, at which to permit access to the cable routing trough through the desktop. | 01-15-2009 |
| 20090153006 | No-tools interchangeable drawer front system - A drawer front system including an interchangeable front panel adapted to be detachably connected to the face of a drawer without requiring special skill or the use of tools. The interchangeable front panel is ideally selected from a variety of front panels having different aesthetics so that the ornamental appearance of the drawer front can be easily changed to correspond with a change in mood, home or office relocation, or living/working arrangement of a user. A pair of panel mounts (e.g., rails) project outwardly from the face of the drawer. A corresponding pair of mounting recesses (e.g., channels) are formed in the interchangeable front panel to slidably receive respective ones of the panel mounts, whereby the detachable front panel and the drawer face are disposed in face-to-face alignment with the front panel visible to passersby. A handle to which a pulling or pushing force is applied to open or close the drawer has a pair of hollow threaded posts that are mated to removable screw-threaded fasteners through the opposing detachable front panel and the face of the drawer so that the front panel and the drawer face are detachably connected together. | 06-18-2009 |
| 20090284111 | No-tools breakdown furniture - Articles of breakdown furniture (e.g., a desk and a TV stand) that can be quickly and easily assembled and disassembled by a user without the need for traditional tools, in a relatively short time, and with minimal assistance. In its disassembled condition, the furniture is advantageously adapted to be packaged and transported in compact shipping containers. A removable top is detachably connected between a pair of opposing sides or legs by locking pins which slide through lock bodies affixed to the detachable top for receipt by respective pin holes formed in the sides. A back panel is connected between the pair of opposing sides by connectors which project from ends of the support panel for removable receipt by slotted brackets affixed to the sides. In the case of the desk, a removable pull-out drawer is located below the removable top to be slidably received by grooves formed along the sides. In the case of the TV stand, removable shelves which extend between the pair of opposing sides are detachably connected to shelf supports that are affixed to each of the sides and the back panel. | 11-19-2009 |
| 20100202852 | No-tools panel coupler and insert - A coupler to be embedded in a first (e.g., flat) panel and an insert to be embedded in a second (e.g., flat) panel to be joined to the first panel during the assembly of an article, for example, of furniture. The coupler includes a coupler body, a cam bolt rotatable within the coupler body, a cam head carried by and rotatable with the cam bolt, and a lever extending from the cam bolt to a location outside the coupler body at which to receive a rotational pushing force. The insert has a hollow interior, a closed leading end extending laterally across the hollow interior, and a window formed in the closed leading end and communicating with the hollow interior. The cam head of the coupler is moved through the window in the closed leading end of the insert. A rotational force applied to the lever causes the cam bolt to rotate within the coupler body, which rotation is imparted to the cam head. The cam head is correspondingly rotated at the hollow interior of the insert so as to move out of alignment with the window in the closed leading end thereof to be relocated below the closed leading end. Accordingly, the coupler and the insert are connected in mating interlocking engagement with one another, whereby the first and second panels will be joined to one another without the use of tools or additional hardware fasteners. | 08-12-2010 |

| 20100310310 | HARDWARE FOR FURNITURE ASSEMBLY - A hardware system is provided for use in ready-to-assembly (RTA) furniture that allows assembly thereof without the need for tools. The system includes a pin fastener and a pin receiver assembly. The pin receiver assembly is installed into one panel of the RTA furniture while the pin fastener is installed into another panel or component that is to be fastened to the first panel. The pin receiver includes a retaining means therein that serves to releasably engage the pin fastener when it is inserted therein. The pin receiver includes a body having engaging members therein that engage the pin shaft when the pin shaft is inserted into the pin receiver. In a preferred embodiment the pin receiver can be disengaged from the pin fastener using a magnet. | 12-09-2010 |
