| 20080215153 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PERFORMING SPINAL SURGERY - An embodiment of an intervertebral prosthetic device for implantation in a spine includes a rigid fixation member and a compressible member. The fixation member is configured to be placed in a cavity of a first vertebral body and against bone of the first vertebral body. The compressible member is configured to be placed in a cavity in an intervertebral disc and to be secured to the first fixation member. Another embodiment includes two compressible members and one fixation member. In this embodiment, the first and second compressible members are sized to substantially replace the nucleus pulposus of first and a second intervertebral discs, respectively, on either side of a vertebral body. The fixation member is sized to fit within a cavity in the vertebral body between the first and second compressible members. | 09-04-2008 |

| 20110161324 | COMMUNITY-BASED PARENTAL CONTROLS - According to a general aspect, a method includes maintaining rating groups, each rating group providing a rating for content compiled based on information received from a user evaluating the content. The method also includes receiving, from a first user, a selection of a first rating group, from among the rating groups, to be applied to a set of users associated with the first user. The method also includes receiving, from a user, a request for a piece of content from the content. The method also includes determining that the user from which the request was received belongs to the set of users associated with the first user. The method also includes, based upon the determination that the user belonged to the set of users associated with the first user, accessing information associated with the first rating group and determining whether the first rating group includes a rating for the requested piece of content. The method also includes determining whether or not to provide information to the requesting user conditioned on the indication or absence of a rating for the requested piece of content within the first rating group. | 06-30-2011 |

| 20100182356 | Mobile robot printer for large image reproduction - A system for automatically reproducing an image on a large surface, such as the surface of an outdoor or indoor athletic field or athletic court. The system includes a computer, a microcontroller, a mobile robotic platform, a plurality of distance sensors, a plurality of boundary markers, and image reproduction machinery. The computer takes the image input by the user and translates for use by the microcontroller. The distance sensors use the boundary markers to provide positioning information to the microcontroller. The microcontroller is used to control motors and sensors on the mobile robotic platform and image reproduction machinery. The mobile robotic platform propels and steers the system along the surface. The image production machinery comprises a guide rail, a carriage, and a paint head assembly which reproduce the image onto a large surface. The movement of the image production machinery is decoupled from the movement of the mobile robotic platform. | 07-22-2010 |

| 20090050792 | Optically powered drive circuit and method for controlling a semiconductor switch - An optically powered drive circuit and a method for controlling a first semiconductor switch are provided. The optically powered drive circuit includes a photovoltaic cell configured to receive a first light signal from a fiber optic cable and to output a first voltage in response to the first light signal. The optically powered drive circuit further includes an energy storage device electrically coupled to the photovoltaic cell configured to store electrical energy received from the first voltage and to output a second voltage. The optically powered drive circuit further includes an electrical circuit electrically coupled to both the photovoltaic cell and the energy storage device. The electrical circuit is energized by the second voltage. The electrical circuit is configured to receive the first voltage and to output a third voltage in response to the first voltage for controlling operation of the first semiconductor switch. | 02-26-2009 |
| 20100271081 | GATE DRIVE CIRCUITRY FOR NON-ISOLATED GATE SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICES - One embodiment is a gate drive circuitry for switching a semiconductor device having a non-isolated input, the gate drive circuitry having a first circuitry configured to turn-on the semiconductor device by imposing a current on a gate of the semiconductor device so as to forward bias an inherent parasitic diode of the semiconductor device. There is a second circuitry configured to turn-off the semiconductor device by imposing a current on the gate of the semiconductor device so as to reverse bias the parasitic diode of the semiconductor device wherein the first circuitry and the second circuitry are coupled to the semiconductor device respectively through a first switch and a second switch. | 10-28-2010 |
