| 20100019494 | Tubing Configuration and Sealing Method for High Pressure Tubing on High Pressure Fuel Systems - This invention is directed to using a new method of sealing the high pressure at the tubing ends for the high-pressure fuel system on diesel and gasoline engines. One form of the invention of such a method is disclosed using a harder male fitting and a hard tube end and introducing a replaceable insert made out of a softer material of lower yield strength which will deform at both ends and seal the two mating harder components. This insert will be a throw away part to be replaced every time the system is serviced or repaired and the joint is broken. The cost for this insert is minimum and will reduce the fuel system service or repair cost saving money for the customer. | 01-28-2010 |

| 20090295804 | Merged Shader for Primitive Amplification - A method, computer program product, and system are provided for processing data in a graphics pipeline. An embodiment of the method includes processing one or more vertices of a geometric primitive with a vertex shader function and generating new primitive information for the one or more processed vertices with a geometry shader function. The geometry shader function receives one or more processed vertices from the vertex shader function and emits a single vertex associated with the new primitive information. Each emitted vertex from the geometry shader function can be stored in a memory device. Unlike conventional graphic pipelines that require a memory device for data storage during the vertex and geometry shading processes, the present invention increases efficiency in the graphics pipeline by eliminating the need to access memory when the vertex and geometry shaders process vertex information. | 12-03-2009 |
| 20110057938 | Variable Frequency Output To One Or More Buffers - A system and method are presented by which data on a graphics processing unit (GPU) can be output to one or more buffers with independent output frequencies. In one embodiment, a GPU includes a shader processor configured to respectively emit a plurality of data sets into a plurality of streams in parallel. Each data is emitted into at least a portion of its respective stream. Also included is a first number of counters configured to respectively track the emitted data sets. | 03-10-2011 |
| 20120017062 | Data Processing Using On-Chip Memory In Multiple Processing Units - Methods are disclosed for improving data processing performance in a processor using on-chip local memory in multiple processing units. According to an embodiment, a method of processing data elements in a processor using a plurality of processing units, includes: launching, in each of the processing units, a first wavefront having a first type of thread followed by a second wavefront having a second type of thread, where the first wavefront reads as input a portion of the data elements from an off-chip shared memory and generates a first output; writing the first output to an on-chip local memory of the respective processing unit; and writing to the on-chip local memory a second output generated by the second wavefront, where input to the second wavefront comprises a first plurality of data elements from the first output. Corresponding system and computer program product embodiments are also disclosed. | 01-19-2012 |

| 20090131785 | VARIABLE OCCLUSIONAL BALLOON CATHETER ASSEMBLY - Embodiments of the present invention relate to inflatable balloon catheters and methods for deploying an inflatable balloon catheter. For example, one embodiment is directed to a catheter assembly that includes a catheter comprising proximal and distal ends and at least one longitudinal conduit extending between the proximal and distal ends. The catheter assembly also includes an inflatable balloon comprising proximal and distal ends and configured to be at least partially positioned within the longitudinal conduit when the balloon is uninflated. The inflatable balloon is further configured to be inflated when deployed from the conduit such that a diameter of the proximal end of the inflatable balloon remains substantially constant and a diameter of the distal end of the inflatable balloon is variable and capable of at least partially occluding a lumen. | 05-21-2009 |

| 20110219714 | Built-in interior wall cavity drying and filtration system - A permanently installed wall cavity and filtration system provides molded base dry block members that install along the base of a wall between the floor and a bottom edge of drywall, gypsum board or other conventional interior wall construction material. The base block members have connection ports at opposite ends that communicate with an interior airflow channel on an inner facing side of the block members. The air flow channel communicates with the wall interior. A forced flow of dry air is directed through one of the ports, thereby allowing the forced dry air to circulate into the interior wall cavities in order to remove moisture and dampness. The damp, contaminated air can also be pulled out through any one of the connection ports by vacuum force, and filtered to avoid contamination of the surrounding interior living environment. | 09-15-2011 |
