| 20090235154 | Method, system, and apparatus for providing access to workbook models through remote function calls - A method, system, and apparatus are provided for exposing and calling workbook models via remote function calls. According to the system, a client computer executes a spreadsheet program for creating a workbook model. The workbook model may be published to a server computer along with data defining a function name and the cells that should be used as inputs and outputs to the model. The system also includes a server computer that receives and responds to remote function calls directed toward workbook functions. When a function call is received at the server computer for a workbook function, the server computer populates the cells in the workbook identified as inputs with input parameters received with the function call and recalculates the workbook. The data contained in the output cells is then returned as a reply to the remote function call. | 09-17-2009 |

| 20100205520 | GRID PRESENTATION IN WEB-BASED SPREADSHEET SERVICES - Users are enabled to navigate a spreadsheet document presented by a web service in a similar fashion to a locally executed spreadsheet application by retrieving blocks of grid data asynchronously in order to display or refresh the area(s) of the spreadsheet currently being viewed by the user as the user navigates the spreadsheet grid or dynamic updates occur. The blocks are laid out in the browser's user interface to fill the user's viewport as well as a predefined buffer around the edge of the viewport. As such, when the user scrolls or updates occur, data associated with blocks are added, updated, or removed in the browser as required to fill the user's viewport. | 08-12-2010 |

| 20110169513 | WIDE ACTIVATION ANGLE PINCH SENSOR SECTION AND SENSOR HOOK-ON ATTACHMENT PRINCIPLE - A resistive pinch sensor utilizing electrically conductive wires encapsulated in a resiliently deformable casing. A pinch is detected when one of the wires, which is normally separated by an air gap within the casing, contacts another wire lowering the electrical resistance therebetween. The described pinch sensors have wide activation ranges or angles. Tri-lobed designs provide wide activation range by incorporating at least three electrically-conductive conduits that are substantially equidistantly spaced circumferentially along the inner wall of a tubular casing. One of the conduits, or optionally an axially arranged electrically-conductive core may function as the reference element. Coaxial designs provide wide activation range by incorporating a central electrically-conductive core and a coaxial electrically-conductive tubular outer sheath that are normally spaced apart by at least one non-conductive spacer. | 07-14-2011 |

| 20090201426 | Dynamic RF AGC switch/mixer for optimal NTSC video detection - This disclosure presents an apparatus and method for automatic gain control correction for a television signal in which the Radio Frequency (RF) and Intermediate Frequency (IF) power signal levels are collected for a band of channels, identifying a channel having a strong RF power signal level and an IF gain signal level that is lower than a nominal IF gain signal level, comparing the identified channel RF gain signal level with the RF gain signal level of adjacent channels to identify the relative power signal levels of the channel and associated adjacent channels, and applying correction to the channel wherein there is an imbalance in the RF and IF power signal levels of the identified channel. This abstract is not to be considered limiting, since other embodiments may deviate from the features described in this abstract. | 08-13-2009 |
| 20100177252 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR SCANNING TELEVISION CHANNELS - A method of scanning television channels at initial setup. The method includes at a first power mode, automatically scanning for channels using a first scanning setup procedure during which the television is unusable by a user. The first power mode is when the television is at a full power mode. The detected channels are automatically provided for use by the television upon completion of the first scanning setup procedure. The method further includes automatically scanning for channels using a second scanning setup procedure at a second power mode following the first power mode. The second power mode is at a lower power mode than the first power mode, and the second scanning setup procedure is more time consuming in comparison to the first scanning setup procedure. Additional channels not detected during the initial setup by the first scanning setup procedure are automatically detected at the second power mode. | 07-15-2010 |

| 20090307200 | System and Method For Providing Suppression of Zero, Null, Overflow, and Divide by Zero Values in Sparse Query Results - A suppression provider comprises a query preparation unit and a query execution unit. The query preparation unit analyzes a request from a client for data to obtain suppression criteria from an edge suppression specification in the request, and saving the suppression criteria in a query plan generated. The query execution unit receives execution result data including values, each associated with one or more edge values, determines if each value is to be suppressed based on the suppression criteria, and identifies one or more edge values to be suppressed when an edge value has only values that are determined to be suppressed. Thus, the suppression provider suppresses values and/or edge values identified to be suppressed in a resultant report. | 12-10-2009 |

| 20100061503 | Pseudo-capacitor structure for direct nuclear energy conversion - Direct nuclear energy conversion into electricity device based on nano-hetero-structures with applications in nuclear reactors and radioisotope batteries. The nano structure may be made by a repeated customized sequence of nano-layers generically called “CIci” The structure may also be made by a series of structures evolved from CIci as nanoplasmon, nanowire, nano-tube. The Structure relies on knock on electron avalanche produced by stopping radiation that is generated by the high electron density conductor material “C” that tunnels through insulator “I” and accumulates in the low density conductor “c”. The “C” material is producing no electrons to cross the associate insulator “i” therefore remains negatively charged by the electron shower, and discharges through a resistor connected to th “C” later. The nanoplasmon structure exhibits thermal direct conversion properties by radiation switched mechanism that is generated by the plasmon-phonon resonance. The device has ultra-capacitive properties when made with carbon nanotubes. The device is useful for a direct conversion nano-battery or for nuclear reactor direct conversion structure. It may also be used as a radiation energy harvesting device when made with actinides for neutro-capture and amplification. | 03-11-2010 |

The method of obtaining the optimal response from the catalysts is that of maintaining the thermodynamic operation parameters at right values by a set of heat exchangers, fans, valves and actuators in closed loops and processor control having the safety embedded. The applications are covering chemical synthesis, heating, air and gas cleaning, fuels and alcohol reforming. | 12-16-2010 |
| 20110001065 | Nano-structured nuclear radiation shielding - The nuclear shielding is bulky and difficult to handle due to the reduced stopping power between the neutral radiations (X, gamma, n) and materials. It is proven that these radiations reflect at grazing angles on special substrates called super-mirrors that contain nano-layers of various materials. The usage of nano-structures in ordered manner or nano-tubes may create the super-mirror like wave-guide for this neutral radiation driving it and turning at angles greater than 90 degrees in few microns only. The usage of ferro or piezo electric nano-structures generates a shield that has the wave-guides path dependent on a control voltage. The resultant device is a shield for nuclear reactor criticality control, minimizing the nuclear reactor shielding and making an electric control of the power level by adjusting the shielding transmission. Other devices as X, n imaging device, or radiation funneling to increase the efficiency of using thin absorbents are some of the potential applications. | 01-06-2011 |
