| 20080239672 | Cooling of High Power Density Devices Using Electrically Conducting Fluids - A system to extract heat from a high power density device and dissipate heat at a convenient distance. The system circulates liquid metal in a closed conduit using one or more electromagnetic pumps for carrying away the heat from high power density device and rejecting the heat at a heat sink located at a distance. The system may make use of a thermoelectric generator to power the electromagnetic pumps by utilizing the temperature difference between the inlet and outlet pipes of the heat sink. The system also provides networks of primary and secondary closed conduits having series and parallel arrangements of electromagnetic pumps for dissipating heat from multiple devices at a remotely located heat sink. | 10-02-2008 |

| 20110071792 | CREATING AND VIEWING MULTIMEDIA CONTENT FROM DATA OF AN INDIVIDUAL'S PERFORMANCE IN A PHYSICAL ACTIVITY - Individuals participating in various sports or other physical activities can have data and media captured to provide a record of such activities. Small devices including a variety of sensors attached to individuals or equipment can capture data about the individual's performance. Video cameras, still image cameras and microphones can be placed throughout the venue or on the individuals to capture audio and image data. Audio, video, location information and performance data can be captured and then used to produce media of the activity. As a result of such data capture techniques, the data from sensors and the image and video data from the cameras are associated with the identification and location of the individual during the course of the individual's performance. Using this information, various media, such as videos, maps and other images, and combinations thereof, can be generated for each individual based on events occurring in the individual's performance and the location of the individual. Individuals can use such media for a variety of purposes, including but not limited to, sharing it with others. | 03-24-2011 |

| 20110145832 | TECHNIQUES FOR ALLOCATING COMPUTING RESOURCES TO APPLICATIONS IN AN EMBEDDED SYSTEM - Techniques for allocating computing resources to tasks include receiving first data and second data. The first data indicates a limit for unblocked execution by a processor of a set of at least one task that includes instructions for the processor. The second data indicates a maximum use of the processor by the set. It is determined whether a particular set of at least one task has exceeded the limit for unblocked execution based on the first data. If it is determined that the particular set has exceeded the limit, then execution of the particular set by the processor is blocked for a yield time interval based on the second data. These techniques can guarantee that no time-critical tasks of an embedded system on a specific-purpose device are starved for processor time by tasks of foreign applications also executed by the processor. | 06-16-2011 |

| 20080214100 | Communication service subscription management - Multiple receivers may be enabled to receive satellite-based digital audio radio (SDAR) services under a single subscription. For example, an SDAR service provider can enable multiple vehicles, a home-based digital radio, or a portable digital radio, singly or in any combination. Multiple receivers transmit information to each other. One receiver is designated as a primary receiver, and the other receivers are designated as secondary receivers. The SDAR service provider transmits a list of associated secondary receivers to the primary receiver. The primary receiver enables the associated secondary receivers to receive SDAR services by placing them in an authorized state. The secondary receivers must periodically communicate with the primary receiver to remain authorized. A secondary receiver that fails to communicate with the primary receiver within a prescribed time period is switched to an unauthorized state. In this unauthorized state, the secondary receiver no longer performs as an authorized receiver. | 09-04-2008 |
