20090300073SYSTEM AND APPARATUS TO ENSURE A LOW-LATENCY READ OF LOG RECORDS FROM A DATABASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM ("DBMS") - A system and method to ensure a low-latency read of log records from a Database Management System (“DBMS”) in asynchronous log-based database replication capture from a blocking log read Application Programming Interface (“API”). The system may include a replication server with a log read module to initialize a log read thread. The reading module of the log read thread may read a predefined number of DBMS log records. A log flush module of the log flush thread may be executed by the log read thread and waits for a read complete notification. The update module, in response to a log flush thread time out, may also generate a plurality of loggable transactions such that a number of log records in an internal API log satisfies a DMBS threshold and unblocks the DBMS API. Therefore, the latency time may be constant, low, and predictable ensuring an accurate replication capture.12-03-2009

20090074980Method and apparatus to color vinyl slats - A method and apparatus for coloring slats utilizes a roller, such as an Anilox roller, and enclosed doctor blade subassembly for metering an amount of colorant transferred to the object, and a felt-wiper subassembly for removing colorant from a roller, such as a discharge roller. The doctor blade subassembly includes a pair of side plates located at opposing ends of a doctor blade to enclose a portion of the roller and prevent colorant from building up on a side of the roller while the colorant is being applied to the roller and as excess colorant is being scraped off by the doctor blade. The felt-wiper subassembly includes a wiper blade and a felt insert that combine effectively to remove colorant that is deposited on a roller, such as a discharge roller, that contacts the object once the colorant has been transferred to the object.03-19-2009

20090327143Method and apparatus to send cash to any person in the world - A method to send a monetary value corresponding to the value of a US dollar bill feed to a device operated by the person that want to send a cash to a friend or relative. In one embodiment of the invention, the person that wants to send monetary value to another person just places a phone call on the device described on this invention and during the conversation feeds one bill to the device which could be returned back if in few seconds there is no verification that a corresponding monetary value has been received by the other person, similarly additional bills could be fed to the device. To gain trust, the device could show the pictures of the recipient, sound bites and other information such as name, address, and account balance to mention some examples.12-31-2009

20110032904METHOD AND APPARATUS TO CONTROL HANDOFF BETWEEN DIFFERENT WIRELESS SYSTEMS - A wireless communications network includes a first base station system that performs wireless communications according to a first protocol (e.g., 1xEV-DO protocol) and a second base station system that performs wireless communications according to a second, different protocol (e.g., IS-2000). A link is provided between the first and second base station systems to enable a network-initiated handoff procedure. If a source base station system detects that a handoff of a mobile station to a target base station system is required, the source base station system exchanges messaging over the link with the target base station system to perform the handoff. In one example, the handoff is a hard handoff.02-10-2011

20120031208BEAM PUMPING UNIT FOR INCLINED WELLHEAD - A method and pumping unit for use with an inclined wellhead. Proper address of the wellhead is accomplished through incorporation of an elbow-shaped walking beam. The forward section of the walking beam is fabricated such that its longitudinal axis is angled to address the inclination of the wellhead. The rearward section of the walking beam and the four-bar linkage system remains unchanged relative to a prior art pump jack intended for vertical wells. This modification is a simple and effective means of addressing an angled wellhead while preserving the well-known operating characteristics of a prior art pumping unit. Torque factors, polished rod position, speed, acceleration, stroke length, and effective counterbalance remain unchanged.02-09-2012

20120085176ANALOG STRAIN GAUGE CONDITIONING SYSTEM FOR SPACE ENVIRONMENT - Provided herein are circuitry, a system and a method for conditioning an analog strain gauge signal in real time in the space environment. The circuitry and system provide means of modulating an excitation waveform input signal which in conjunction with a mechanical load applied to the analog strain gauge generate a modulated strain gauge output signal which is subsequently demodulated as the conditioned analog strain gauge signal. Using spread spectrum modulation on the sensor excitation waveform input signal allows operation without generating high levels of EMI. Subsequent demodulation of the sensor output signal in synchrony with amplitude modulating the sensor excitation waveform input signal provides a conditioned strain gauge signal that is a continuous representation of the load at the strain gauge in real time. Also provided is a method of monitoring a docking maneuver in a space environment.04-12-2012
