20110017872 | SEA LANDING OF SPACE LAUNCH VEHICLES AND ASSOCIATED SYSTEMS AND METHODS - Launch vehicle systems and methods for landing and recovering a booster stage and/or other portions thereof on a platform at sea or on another body of water are disclosed. In one embodiment, a reusable space launch vehicle is launched from a coastal launch site in a trajectory over water. After booster engine cutoff and upper stage separation, the booster stage reenters the earth's atmosphere in a tail-first orientation. The booster engines are then restarted and the booster stage performs a vertical powered landing on the deck of a pre-positioned sea-going platform. In one embodiment, bidirectional aerodynamic control surfaces control the trajectory of the booster stage as it glides through the earth's atmosphere toward the sea-going platform. The sea-going platform can broadcast its real-time position to the booster stage so that the booster stage can compensate for errors in the position of the sea-going platform due to current drift and/or other factors. After landing, the sea-going platform can be towed by, e.g., a tug, or it can use its own propulsion system, to transport the booster stage back to the coastal launch site or other site for reconditioning and reuse. In another embodiment, the booster stage can be transferred to another vessel for transport. In still further embodiments, the booster can be refurbished while in transit from a sea-based or other landing site. | 01-27-2011 |

20080235003 | DISAMBIGUATION OF TELEPHONE STYLE KEY PRESSES TO YIELD CHINESE TEXT USING SEGMENTATION AND SELECTIVE SHIFTING - To enter Chinese text, a user enters the corresponding phonetic spelling via telephone style keypad. Some or all keys represent multiple phonetic letters. In disambiguating entered key presses to yield a valid phonetic spelling, a computer divides the key presses into segments, while still preserving key press order. Each segment must correspond to an entry in a dictionary of Chinese characters, character phrases, and/or character components such as radicals or other predetermined stroke groupings. Upon arrival of a new key press that cannot form a valid entry when appended to the current segment, key presses are incrementally reallocated from the previous segment. As for already-resolved segments occurring prior to the previous and current segments, these are left intact. After each shifting attempt, the computer reinterprets key presses of the last two segments, and accepts the new segmentation if the segments form valid dictionary entries. | 09-25-2008 |

20150085458 | Reducing Far End Crosstalk in Single Ended Interconnects and Buses - Inductive coupling arising between adjacent vias in interconnect technologies (commonly associated with printed circuit boards or package) can be combatted through the addition of metal plates to vias. The plates generate capacitive coupling that can compensate for the inductive crosstalk normally generated between vias in printed circuit boards or packages. When the added plates of two neighboring vias overlap with each other, a capacitive coupling is generated. By balancing the inductive coupling with capacitive coupling, an effective reduction of far end crosstalk may be obtained. | 03-26-2015 |
