| 20090276974 | Cordless Hand-Held Rechargeable Vacuum Cleaner and Charger Unit Therefore - A cordless hand-held rechargeable vacuum cleaner and a charging base unit for the vacuum cleaner is disclosed. The vacuum cleaner charging unit is configured to receive electrical power from a USB port, such as a USB port located on a computer. The charging unit can also be configured to receive power from an external power supply that includes a USB port which allows the base unit to be charged from a standard electrical outlet via the external power supply. The vacuum cleaner is useful for cleaning around computers and other electrical equipment, and can be easily gripped by a person's hand. | 11-12-2009 |
| 20100088843 | BATTERY POWERED CORDLESS CLEANING SYSTEM - A cordless, battery-powered system of cleaning products. The system of cleaning products includes devices such as upright vacuums (e.g., a stick vacuum, a lightweight upright vacuum, etc.), a hand-held vacuum, a carpet-cleaner, a canister vacuum, and the like. Each of the devices is powered by a battery pack which is interchangeable among the devices. The battery pack includes a combination of hardware and software for connecting to, identifying, and communicating with the cleaning products to ensure that each of the products receives the power necessary to ensure optimal performance. | 04-15-2010 |
| 20100115726 | HANDHELD VACUUM CLEANER - A handheld vacuum cleaner including an inlet, an outlet, and a dust cup having an aperture. The dust cup is in fluid communication with the inlet and the outlet and is configured to retain debris collected by the handheld vacuum cleaner. A fan is configured to draw air through the inlet and the dust cup and to discharge air through the outlet. A door is adjacent to the dust cup and includes the inlet. The door is movable between an open position to allow a user to empty the debris collected within the dust cup through the aperture of the dust cup and a closed position to inhibit debris from being emptied through the aperture of the dust cup and to allow debris to be collected through the inlet and through the aperture of the dust cup. A biasing member configured to bias the door toward the open position. | 05-13-2010 |

| 20120272041 | MULTIPROCESSING OF DATA SETS - Various arrangements for processing data sets using multiple processors are presented. A plurality of constraints may be received by a computer system. Each constraint may identify a data relationship that requires a subset of records of one or more data sets to be processed by a same processing device. A plurality of final constraints may be calculated. Each final constraint of the plurality of final constraints may be linked with a record. Each final constraint of the plurality of final constraints may be at least partially based on the plurality of constraints. Final constraints of the plurality of final constraints having a same value may be linked with records that are to be processed by the same processing device. At least partially based on the final constraint, the set of records may be distributed to a plurality of processing devices for processing. | 10-25-2012 |

| 20090214048 | HARMONIC DISTORTION RESIDUAL ECHO SUPPRESSION - Harmonic distortion residual echo suppression (HDRES) technique embodiments are presented which act to suppress the residual echo remaining after a near-end microphone signal has undergone AEC, including harmonic distortion in the signal that was caused by the speaker audio signal playback. In general, an AEC module is employed which suppresses some parts of the speaker audio signal found in a near-end microphone signal and generates an AEC output signal. A HDRES module then inputs the AEC output signal and the speaker audio signal, and suppresses at least a portion of a residual part of the speaker audio signal that was left unsuppressed by the AEC module. This includes at least a portion of the harmonic distortion exhibited in the AEC output signal. | 08-27-2009 |
| 20110013781 | SYSTEM AND PROCESS FOR REGRESSION-BASED RESIDUAL ACOUSTIC ECHO SUPPRESSION - A regression-based residual echo suppression (RES) system and process for suppressing the portion of the microphone signal corresponding to a playback of a speaker audio signal that was not suppressed by an acoustic echo canceller (AEC). In general, a prescribed regression technique is used between a prescribed spectral attribute of multiple past and present, fixed-length, periods (e.g., frames) of the speaker signal and the same spectral attribute of a current period (e.g., frame) of the echo residual in the output of the AEC. This automatically takes into consideration the correlation between the time periods of the speaker signal. The parameters of the regression can be easily tracked using adaptive methods. Multiple applications of RES can be used to produce better results and this system and process can be applied to stereo-RES as well. | 01-20-2011 |

| 20110105995 | UNIFORM-SIZED, MULTI-DRUG CARRYING, AND PHOTOSENSITIVE LIPOSOMES FOR ADVANCED DRUG DELIVERY - Uniform-sized liposome populations can improve both the efficacy and safety of drug delivery. The present invention utilizes the techniques of extrusion with polycarbonate-membrane-based large-pore dialysis to create uniform-sized liposome populations. These uniform-sized liposome populations may comprise different sizes such that smaller liposome populations contain specific drugs that are compartmentalized within a larger liposome population. These uniform-sized liposomes can be lysed upon photoillumination and release the encapsulated drugs and/or smaller liposomes, and can be used as a new version of photodynamic therapy. | 05-05-2011 |
