20100013942DIGITAL CAMERAS INDICATING SELECTED MODE - An imaging device having first and second operable modes of operation, the imaging device includes a user interface for selecting the first operable mode of operation or a second operable mode of operation; a processor that, upon startup, detects whether the first operable mode of operation or the second operable mode of operation is selected; and one or more sensory mechanisms that output a first signal when the processor detects the first operable mode and outputs a second signal when the processor detects the second operable mode of operation.01-21-2010
20110102829IMAGE SIZE WARNING - A method of detecting and indicating to a user of an application for image printing that an image is unsuitable for printing. Unsuitability for printing of an image typically will be triggered when print size and image resolution are mismatched. Novel user interface algorithms assist the user to correctly modify an image in order to satisfy suitability requirements.05-05-2011

20100299193Community-Based System and Method for Automatic Discount of a Purchase - A community-based system and method for providing automatic discounting of a purchase is described. A database containing a plurality of items for purchase and a plurality of discounts associated with the items is provided. A search query is received from a user using a networked device, and items responsive to the search query are transmitted to the device for display. The device is then usable to select one or more displayed items. Corresponding discounts are automatically associated with the selected items, and when purchase of the item is completed, the associated discounts are applied in a paperless manner. Concurrent with the discount feature, users are permitted to create customizable user accounts, through which favorite items and groupings of items can be uploaded, flagged, stored, and shared with other users. User accounts are usable for tracking of demographic information, communication with other users, and providing automatic notifications based on user-selected preferences.11-25-2010

20090044676POWER TILT ASSEMBLY FOR BAND SAW - A power tilt assembly for a band saw has a power tilt harp plate and a length of silent chain about the harp plate's perimeter. The chain is anchored to the harp plate at each end by a chain tensioner. The column of a blade carrying frame incorporates a tilt motor and a tilt motor shaft to drive a silent chain sprocket around a portion of which the silent chain is looped. A pair of idlers are used to maintain this portion of the silent chain in contact with the sprocket. As the tilt gear motor is actuated, the sprocket moves along the chain thereby moving the column of the blade carrying frame with it. A power tilt brake pad controls incremental movement of the column and a power tilt pointer indicates degree of tilt of the column and the corresponding angle of vertical cut to the machine operator.02-19-2009
20090071311CANTED AND VERTICAL BLADE ASSEMBLY - The present invention provides for a vertical band saw frame assembly comprising a support column having a top and a bottom, the support column having a lower band wheel attached thereto. The band saw frame further provides for a tilt plate having a plurality of apertures attached to the top of the support column and a mounting plate. The tilt plate provides a mounting platform for the upper band wheel, blade tensioning assembly, blade guide, and blade break sensor. In a preferred embodiment, the tilt plate is attachable to the mounting plate in two positions, a first position in vertical alignment with the lower band wheel and a second position in which the upper band wheel further from the support column and at an angle to the first position to create a canted cutting blade angle.03-19-2009
20110072949ROTATING BLADE GUIDE ASSEMBLY - A rotating blade guide assembly includes a blade guide carrier and means for rotating the carrier from a first position to a second position. The support structure for the assembly provides a means of supporting the assembly in both positions while allowing an opening for the band to be inserted without twisting in the first position. The first position would be that blade orientation when the blade is placed about a pair of band wheels. The second position would be the blade orientation when the blade is rotated 90° to a cutting position. In this way, the orientation of the blade is changed when the blade guide carrier is rotated from the first position to the second position. The assembly further provides means for securing the blade guide carrier in the second position to provide accurate alignment and prevent rotation of the carrier during use.03-31-2011

20090089543INTEGRATED CIRCUIT PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT ACROSS A RANGE OF OPERATING CONDITIONS AND PHYSICAL CONSTRAINTS - Methods and apparatus to improve integrated circuit (IC) performance across a range of operating conditions and/or physical constraints are described. In one embodiment, an operating parameter of one or more of processor cores may be adjusted in response to a change in the activity level of processor cores (e.g., the number of active processor cores) and/or a comparison of one or more operating conditions and one or more corresponding threshold values. Other embodiments are also described.04-02-2009
20090187712Operation Frame Filtering, Building, And Execution - The present subject matter relates to operation frame filtering, building, and execution. Some embodiments include identifying a frame signature, counting a number of execution occurrences of the frame signature, and building a frame of operations to execute instead of operations identified by the frame signature.07-23-2009
20090249036EFFICIENT METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR EMPLOYING A MICRO-OP CACHE IN A PROCESSOR - Methods and apparatus for using micro-op caches in processors are disclosed. A tag match for an instruction pointer retrieves a set of micro-op cache line access tuples having matching tags. The set is stored in a match queue. Line access tuples from the match queue are used to access cache lines in a micro-op cache data array to supply a micro-op queue. On a micro-op cache miss, a macroinstruction translation engine (MITE) decodes macroinstructions to supply the micro-op queue. Instruction pointers are stored in a miss queue for fetching macroinstructions from the MITE. The MITE may be disabled to conserve power when the miss queue is empty-likewise for the micro-op cache data array when the match queue is empty. Synchronization flags in the last micro-op from the micro-op cache on a subsequent micro-op cache miss indicate where micro-ops from the MITE merge with micro-ops from the micro-op cache.10-01-2009

20110060931POWER MEASUREMENT TECHNIQUES OF A SYSTEM-ON-CHIP (SOC) - A method and system to enable power measurements of a system-on-chip in various modes. In one embodiment of the invention, the system-on-chip has full controllability of its logic and circuitry to facilitate configuration of the system-on-chip into a desired mode of operation. This allows hooks or interfaces to access the system-on-chip externally for measurements. For example, in one embodiment of the invention, the hooks in the system-on-chip allow a backend tester to configure the system-on-chip into various modes easily to perform power consumption measurements of one or more individual components of the system-on-chip. The power consumption measurement of the individual components in the system-on-chip can be performed faster and can be more accurate. In addition, the overall yield of the SOC can be increased as it is easier to detect failure parts.03-10-2011
