| 20080264704 | Hybrid electric vehicle having alternate power sources - A hybrid electric vehicle having alternate fuel sources is shown and includes an AC/DC converter for storing a direct current voltage in a battery. A fuel converter converts a composition fuel into a combustible fuel, preferably hydrogen. The hydrogen is stored in a hydrogen storage device. The charging of a battery or the production and storage of the hydrogen occurs prior to the starting of or the operation of the hybrid electric vehicle. A driving system includes a direct current motor and a combustible fuel engine. A control device enables the driving system to be powered by the direct current voltage or the combustible fuel. A hydrogen fuel cell uses hydrogen to produce a direct current voltage. | 10-30-2008 |

| 20110055079 | REAL TIME ACCOUNTS PAYABLE WEB SERVICE - A web service facilitates real time payment of suppliers' invoices with accounts issued by issuers to account holders. A payment request received by the web service from a client, identifying a credit limit for one commercial account in a pool thereof, is sent from the web service to the issuer to determine availability of the account and the credit limit for an account holder. If the issuer's response to the request confirms availability, payment instructions to the issuer are sent from the web service to pay the supplier's invoice. Alternatively, the request can be to determine availability of a single-use-account (SUA) and an adjustment to the account holder's credit limit from the issuer in order to make a future single payment on the SUA to the supplier for a purchase corresponding to a future invoice from the supplier who has not yet provided goods and/or services pertaining to the invoice. | 03-03-2011 |

| 20100240985 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MAGNETIC RESONANCE ARTERIOGRAPHY USING CONTRAST AGENTS - The present invention is a technique of, and system for, imaging vascular anatomy over distance considerably greater than the maximum practical field of view of a magnetic resonance imaging system while using substantially one contrast agent injection. The technique and system of the present invention acquires image data of a plurality of image volumes which are representative of different portions of the patient's body. The image data of each image volume includes image data which is representative of the center of k-space. The acquisition of image data which is representative of the center of k-space is correlated with a concentration of contrast agent in the artery(ies) residing in the image volume being substantially greater than the concentration of contrast agent in veins and background tissue adjacent to the artery(ies). This provides preferential enhancement of arteries relative to adjacent veins and background tissue for each acquisition, wherein each acquisition is representative of a different portion of the arterial system (e.g., abdominal aorta, femoral, popliteal, and tibial arteries). | 09-23-2010 |

| 20090094315 | SYSTEM FOR PROVISIONING TIME SHARING OPTION (TSO) AND INTERACTIVE PRODUCTIVITY SYSTEM FACILITY (ISPF) SERVICES IN A NETWORK ENVIRONMENT - A method, system and computer program product for dynamically establishing a client's Time Sharing Option (TSO) and/or Interactive Productivity System Facility (ISPF) session and maintaining the client's TSO/ISPF session on a zero-downtime/operating system (z/OS) host over multiple service calls. A session provisioning and maintenance (SPM) utility determines whether a TSO/ISPF session exists for a client making a request for a TSO/ISPF service. When a TSO/ISPF session does not exist for the client, session establishment is initiated by generating a TSO initialization module in a new UNIX System Services (USS) process. Session establishment involves initializing a user's own TSO address space through USS and using USS service call API's to make TSO/ISPF service call requests in the TSO address space. The SPM utility maintains the client's TSO/ISPF session over multiple service calls, bypassing the overhead of having to establish a new session for every service request which requires TSO/ISPF services. | 04-09-2009 |

| 20100002469 | CONTROL CIRCUIT FOR A BUCK POWER FACTOR CORRECTION STAGE - This invention relates to a control circuit for a buck power factor correction (PFC) stage. Buck PFC stages are commonly used in low cost, high efficiency power converters. These buck PFC stages are typically controlled using a very slow control loop with a crossover frequency of the order of 10 to 20 Hz. However, such a slow response is unsuitable for applications requiring overvoltage protection. The present invention overcomes the problems with the known control circuits for buck PFC stages by implementing a two stage control circuit having a fast outer loop control circuit and a slow inner loop control circuit. The fast outer loop control circuit is in operation during low load conditions and the slow inner loop control circuit is only active under load. | 01-07-2010 |

| 20080269938 | Method Of Manufacturing An Information Handling System - A method of manufacturing an information handling system having at least one hardware component, e.g. motherboard, bearing a unique identifier (component ID) in software-readable form. The method comprises generating a digital identifier (system trackcode) which defines the hardware and software configuration of the item, storing the system trackcode in association with the component ID in a manufacturing database such that the component ID can be used as a key to retrieve the associated system trackcode. During manufacture the component ID is read from the motherboard and used to retrieve the associated system trackcode from the database. | 10-30-2008 |
| 20110145813 | METHOD FOR DYNAMICALLY MANAGING MULTICAST SESSIONS FOR SOFTWARE DOWNLOADS AND RELATED SYSTEMS - Methods and systems are disclosed for dynamically managing multicast sessions for software downloads and, more particularly, for such software downloads used in build-to-order manufacturing information handling systems. Multiple multicast sessions are automatically managed simultaneously, where each session can have its own unique set of session parameters, in such a way as to support a high mix, high volume manufacturing build-to-order environment. Multicast session control parameters, such as start time and client count, are defined for each multicast session base upon download requests from the information handling systems as they reach the software installation phase. | 06-16-2011 |

| 20090259834 | Manufacturing Information Handling Systems - Manufacturing a virtual information handling system (IHS) includes creating a virtual IHS including a component identifier. A boot process is then begun for the virtual IHS. A manufacturing operating system is then retrieved for the virtual IHS using the component identifier. The manufacturing operating system is then installed on the virtual IHS. Manufacturing a virtual IHS may also include determining a common operating system and a common software subset among a plurality of to-be-manufactured virtual IHSs. A first virtual IHS may then be created and the common operating system may be configured on the first virtual IHS. At least a portion of a first virtual IHS software may also be configured on the first virtual IHS. The configuration of the first virtual IHS software on the first virtual IHS is stopped when the common software subset is configured on the first virtual IHS. The first virtual IHS may then be cloned to create a cloned virtual IHS. | 10-15-2009 |
