20140297923 | Populating Localized Fast Bulk Storage in a Multi-Node Computer System - A high performance computing (HPC) system includes computing blades having a first region that includes processors for performing a computation, and a second region that includes non-volatile memory for use in performing the computation and another computing processor for performing data movement and storage. Because data movement and storage are offloaded to the secondary processor, the processors for performing the computation are not interrupted to perform these tasks. A method for use in the HPC system receives instructions in the computing processors and first data in the memory. The method includes receiving second data into the memory while continuing to execute the instructions in the computing processors, without interruption. A computer program product implementing the method is also disclosed. | 10-02-2014 |

20090182707 | DATABASE CHANGESET MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND METHOD - A method of database changeset management for automated information enhancement and control over changesets using a computational device. The steps include: analyzing and processing a query; journaling the query into a changeset-journaling module; recording a blocking journal entry based on a blocking characteristic of the query into a journal blocker module; sending a database mutation statement to a database. Undo requests are checked against the blocking journal before execution. Further steps include: triggering an interest protocol on a match of a query with an interest set; returning a response to a query based solely on information from a changeset-journaling module; comparing an actual return from the database to an expected return and generating a difference statement therebetween; providing a collaboration module; and providing a second changeset-journal module configured to journal an alternate database state; and returning a query result based on the alternate database state. | 07-16-2009 |

20150076023 | Packaging for Medical Articles Such as a Size Varying Series of Orthopedic Implants - Packaging which can accommodate medical articles such as a series of orthopedic implants e.g. femoral stem components for prosthetic hip joints which have a dimension which varies minimally across the series but which vary considerably in overali size. The packaging is designed to minimize the travel of any member of the series packaged therein such that all the packaged components in the series can pass the standard handling and shipping tests typically used by the manufacturers of medical articles such as implants and preferably comprises two thermoformed tray components which each carry three types of cavities which are interconnected and designed to be assembled with their cavities facing each other to contain the lower stem, body and angled shaft of the stem component, respectively, with the cavities for the lower stem and the body cooperating to capture a minimally varying dimension of the series. | 03-19-2015 |

20130277261 | Packaging for a Size Varying Series of Femoral Components for Artificial Knee Joints - The present disclosure concerns packaging adapted to accommodate a series of femoral components for artificial knee joints which vary in size but have a common thickness dimension. The packaging is designed to provide a clearance between its internal parts which approximates this common thickness dimension but is also able to accommodate variations in the other dimensions of the femoral components. In a convenient approach, a base portion is provided which has a vertical projection with a top surface adapted to support a portion of the inner surface of the major arch of the femoral components of said series. It is mated with a second structural member which has an arcurate surface whose contour approximates a portion of the outside surface of the major arch of the femoral components in this series. Means are provided for holding it in a fixed special relationship with said base portion. | 10-24-2013 |
20130284629 | Packaging for a Size Varying Series of Femoral Stem Components for Artificial Hip Joints - The present disclosure is concerned with packaging which can accommodate a series of femoral stem components for prosthetic hip joints which have a dimension which varies minimally across the series but which vary considerably in overall size. The packaging is designed to minimize the travel of any member of the series packaged therein such that all the packaged components in the series can pass the standard handling and shipping tests typically used by the manufacturers of medical implants. The packaging comprises two thermoformed tray components which each carry three types of cavities which are interconnected. The tray components are designed to be assembled with their cavities facing each other. The cavities are designed to contain the lower stem, body and angled shaft of the stem component, respectively. The cavities for the lower stem and the body cooperate to capture the minimally varying dimension of the series. | 10-31-2013 |

20130081673 | ARCHED PHOTOVOLTAIC MODULE - A photovoltaic module can include an outer surface with an outwardly bulged convex shape. The outer surface can be curved about its longitudinal axis and/or transverse axis. Optionally, the outer surface can be bulged in a generally spherical shape. The convex shape of the outer surface of the PV module can provide the outer surface with additional stiffness, and/or cause water to flow away from the center of the panel toward its edges, thereby reducing soiling caused by accumulated water, debris, and dust and/or other benefits. | 04-04-2013 |

20120025837 | METHOD TO DICE BACK-CONTACT SOLAR CELLS - A method of processing of solar cells includes determining that a back-contact solar cell is defective. The back-contact solar cell includes a first plurality of interconnect pads at a first edge thereof, and a second plurality of interconnect pads at a second, opposed thereof, the first and second pluralities of interconnect pads having opposite operational charges. The back-contact solar cell is then diced to define at least first and second back-contact solar cell sections. The first back-contact solar cell section has at least two interconnect pads, of the plurality of interconnect pads, at respective opposed edges thereof. | 02-02-2012 |
20130255749 | ELECTRONIC COMPONENT HOUSING WITH HEAT SINK - A photovoltaic assembly for converting solar radiation to electrical energy is described. The photovoltaic assembly includes a photovoltaic module and an electronic component housing. The photovoltaic module has a frame, a laminate, a plurality of solar cells and a backsheet. The electronic component housing has an upper section to couple to the backsheet, a middle section and a lower section for enclosing electronic components. The electronic components can include a microinverter or electronics for a junction box. The middle section can have a heat sink in thermal communication with the electronic component and an opening. The opening can be a plurality of openings having a plurality of air fins distributed therein, or can be a diagonal or curved structure. The opening can permit fluid communication between the heat sink and an ambient environment. The upper section and/or the aforementioned air fins can also be coupled to the backsheet via a heat conductive adhesive. | 10-03-2013 |
20140182661 | PHOTOVOLTAIC MODULE FRAME WITH IMPROVED BONDABILITY - A photovoltaic module can be formed with a laminate bonded to frame members. The frame members can extend around the periphery of the laminate. The frame members can include surface features which increase the surface area of the portion of the frame member bonded to the laminate, and thereby improve the bond strength between the frame member and the laminate. Further, the surface features can extend generally longitudinally along the peripheral edges of the laminate, thereby helping to guide a flow of liquid adhesive, during the manufacturing process, along longitudinal direction and thus reduce the amount of adhesive that leaks out onto the laminate during the manufacturing process. | 07-03-2014 |
