| 20100022959 | CANNULA SEALING APPARATUS - A cannula sealing apparatus includes a housing having a central axially facing aperture. A surgical instrument of 10.5 mm may seal with that aperture. Alternatively, a sealing member having an aperture that will seal with a 12 mm surgical instrument can be swung up to be aligned with the aperture. If a 10.5 mm instrument is required then a seal member can be swung up to have its seal aperture located over the central aperture. Each seal member is pivotal about a common axis. | 01-28-2010 |

| 20080215808 | RAID CONTROLLER USING CAPACITOR ENERGY SOURCE TO FLUSH VOLATILE CACHE DATA TO NON-VOLATILE MEMORY DURING MAIN POWER OUTAGE - A write-caching RAID controller includes a CPU that manages transfers of posted-write data from host computers to a volatile memory and transfers of the posted-write data from the volatile memory to a redundant array of storage devices when a main power source is supplying power to the RAID controller. A memory controller transfers the posted-write data received from the host computers to the volatile memory and transfers the posted-write data from the volatile memory for transfer to the redundant array of storage devices as managed by the CPU. The memory controller flushes the posted-write data from the volatile memory to the non-volatile memory when main power fails, during which time capacitors provide power to the memory controller, volatile memory, and non-volatile memory, but not to the CPU, in order to reduce the energy storage requirements of the capacitors. During main power provision, the CPU programs the memory controller with information needed to perform the flush operation, such as the location and size of the posted-write data in the volatile memory and various flush operation characteristics. | 09-04-2008 |

| 20090017320 | Using branched polymers to control the dimensional stability of articles in the lamination process - Disclosed are laminated articles comprising a first polymer layer and a second polymer layer having an inclusion embedded between the layers, wherein at least one layer comprises a branching agent to improve dimensional stability during the lamination process. Disclosed are laminated articles comprising a first polymer layer and a second polymer layer having an inclusion embedded between the layers, wherein at least one layer comprises a copolyester comprising a branching agent to improve dimensional stability during the lamination process. Also disclosed are methods of laminating a first layer and a second layer with an inclusion between the layers to form a laminated article with an embedded inclusion, wherein at least one layer comprises a copolyester comprising a branching agent. | 01-15-2009 |
| 20090105380 | UV ABSORBING ADDITIVES SUITABLE FOR THERMOPLASTIC ARTICLES MADE FROM PROCESSES WITH EXTENDED HEAT HISTORIES - A UV-protected, laminated article obtained by a thermocompressive lamination process. The laminated article is characterized by reduced haze due to the use of a benzotriazine UV absorber. A process for making such a laminated article and a method for preventing or inhibiting haze from developing in a UV-protected laminated article during application of heat and pressure are also described. | 04-23-2009 |

| 20110251881 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR AMOUNT CALCULATION - Methods and systems for amount calculation are described. In one embodiment, a determination that a participant has a referral relationship with a first merchant may be made. A first processing fee of the first merchant may be obtained. The first processing fee may be based on a payment volume of the first merchant. A second processing fee of the second merchant may be obtained. The second processing fee may be based on the payment volume of the second merchant. A rebate amount for the participant may be calculated based on the first processing fee, the second processing fee, and a determination that the participant has the referral relationship with the first merchant. Additional methods and systems are disclosed. | 10-13-2011 |

| 20110043529 | INTERACTIVE ANIMATION - An interactive animation environment. The interactive animation environment includes at least one user-controlled object, and the animation method for providing this environment includes determining a position of the user-controlled object, defining a plurality of regions about the position, detecting a user input to move the position of the user-controlled object, associating the detected user input to move the position of the user-controlled object with a region in the direction of movement, and providing an animation of the user-controlled object associated with the mapped region. A system and controller for implementing the method is also disclosed. A computer program and computer program product for implementing the invention is further disclosed. | 02-24-2011 |
