| 20090087373 | Method and Apparatus for Producing a Carbon Based Foam Article Having a Desired Thermal-Conductivity Gradient - A carbon based foam article is made by heating the surface of a carbon foam block to a temperature above its graphitizing temperature, which is the temperature sufficient to graphitize the carbon foam. In one embodiment, the surface is heated with infrared pulses until heat is transferred from the surface into the core of the foam article such that the graphitizing temperature penetrates into the core to a desired depth below the surface. The graphitizing temperature is maintained for a time sufficient to substantially entirely graphitize the portion of the foam article from the surface to the desired depth below the surface. Thus, the foam article is an integral monolithic material that has a desired conductivity gradient with a relatively high thermal conductivity in the portion of the core that was graphitized and a relatively low thermal conductivity in the remaining portion of the foam article. | 04-02-2009 |
| 20100025009 | THERMAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - A thermal management system for operating near a temperature T. The system includes a sheet-like spacer having a plurality of passageways. A degassed working fluid is disposed as a liquid within the passageways of the spacer. A flexible and substantially impermeable sheet-like envelope forms a sealed compartment enclosing the spacer and the degassed working fluid at an absolute pressure that is approximately equal to the vapor pressure of the working fluid at equilibrium with liquid phase of the working fluid at the temperature T. The spacer, the working fluid and the envelope form a sheet-like thermal management system. In some embodiments the spacer is a flexible spacer and the envelope is a flexible envelope and the sheet-like thermal management system is a flexible sheet-like management system. In some embodiments the envelope is a rigid structure. | 02-04-2010 |

| 20120046083 | Cell phone holder - A cell phone holder suitable for use in supporting an operating cell phone in a hands-free use by a vehicle driver includes an elongated flexible body supporting a weight at one end and a cell phone receptacle at the other end. A cell phone operating in the speaker mode is inserted into the cell phone receptacle. The cell phone holder thus formed is placed upon the driver's shoulder such that the flexible body passes over the user's shoulder and downwardly at its weighted end on the rear shoulder of the user. The forward end supporting the cell phone within the cell phone receptacle extends downwardly over the front shoulder and upper chest of the user enabling the user to hear the cell phone audio output and to speak into the speaker phone microphone of the cell phone. | 02-23-2012 |

| 20090063819 | Method and Apparatus for Dynamically Managing Instruction Buffer Depths for Non-Predicted Branches - A method and apparatus for dynamically managing instruction buffer depths for non-predicted branches reduces wasted energy and resources associated with low confidence branch prediction conditions. A portion of the instruction buffer for a instruction thread is allocated for storing predicted branch instruction streams and another portion, which may be zero-sized during high prediction confidence conditions, is allocated to the non-predicted branch instruction stream. The size of the buffers is adjusted dynamically in conformity with an on-going prediction confidence that provides a measure of how well branch prediction mechanisms are working for a given instruction thread. An alternate instruction fetch address table can be maintained and multiplexed with the main fetch address register for addressing the instruction cache, so that the instruction stream can be quickly shifted to the non-predicted path when a branch instruction is resolved to the non-predicted path. | 03-05-2009 |

| 20100190424 | Reinforced Bonded Abrasive Tools - Bonded abrasive tools, e.g., grinding wheels, can be reinforced using, for instance, one or more fibreglass web(s) having a surface of glass per unit of at least 0.2. Alternatively or in addition, the fibreglass web has a thickness of 2 mm or less. The web can be designed to provide improved adhesion between the fibreglass reinforcement and the mixture employed to form the bonded abrasive tool. In some examples, the middle reinforcement at the neutral zone of the wheel can be eliminated or minimized. | 07-29-2010 |

| 20090071617 | Methods for improving the tear strength of mats - Methods for improving the tear strength in non-woven chopped strand mats during the manufacturing process of the mats are provided. In particular, the tear strength of the mat can be improved as the mat is being formed in response to current manufacturing conditions by the addition of a water soluble polyol, such as polyvinyl alcohol, or a cationic dispersant to the binder seal pit. Alternatively, a cationic dispersant may be added to the white water chest to improve the tear strength of the chopped strand mat. The addition of polyvinyl alcohol or a cationic dispersant to the binder seal pit results in an immediate or nearly immediate improvement of the tear strength of the chopped strand mat. Both the polyvinyl alcohol and the cationic dispersant can be utilized to improve the tear strength of a chopped strand mat regardless of the type of binder or components in the white water. | 03-19-2009 |
