| 20090049176 | SCALABLE VIRTUAL PARTITIONING OF RESOURCES - Resources are partitioned via a virtual partitioning system to distribute the resources over a plurality of resource servers. A virtual partition table can be kept at each of a set of resource managers handling requests for resources in tandem. When a resource is requested, a virtual partition value is calculated algorithmically, and the value is mapped to a resource component via the virtual partition table. The resource component encapsulates information indicating on which of the resource servers the resource resides and can provide a component for performing operations on the resource even though the requester does not have information about where the resource resides. The resources can be repartitioned by modifying the virtual partition table, thus allowing the addition of additional resource servers to the system while the resources remain available. Additional resource types can be added without reengineering the system. | 02-19-2009 |

| 20080210347 | Superalloy Component Welding at Ambient Temperature - A method for welding superalloy components at ambient temperature conditions while reducing the propensity of the superalloy material to crack as a result of the weld. A root pass region of the weld is formed using a filler material that exhibits ductility that is higher than that of the base superalloy material. The ductile material mitigates stress in the root region, thereby preventing the formation of cracks. A remaining portion of the weld is formed using a filler material that essentially matches the base superalloy material. The method may utilize a pre-weld heat treatment to grow a gamma prime precipitate phase in the superalloy material, a chill fixture to remove heat during welding, a relief cut to reduce stress in the root region, and a conventional post-weld heat treatment. | 09-04-2008 |
| 20090320966 | WELD REPAIR OF SUPERALLOY MATERIALS - A method of weld repairing a superalloy material at ambient temperatures without causing cracking of the base material. A superalloy material such as CM-247 LC, as is commonly used in gas turbine blade applications, is subjected to an overage pre-weld heat treatment in order to grow the volume percentage of gamma prime precipitate in the material to a level sufficient to permit ambient temperature welding without cracking. CM-247 LC material is heated in a vacuum furnace at a rate of about 0.5° C. per minute to an intermediate temperature of about 885° C. The material is then gas fan quenched to a temperature of about 52° C. to grow the gamma prime precipitate percentage to about 55%. A fusion repair weld may then be performed on the material at an ambient temperature using a filler material having a chemistry matching a chemistry of the base material. | 12-31-2009 |

| 20110095030 | CONTAINER ASSEMBLY HAVING A HEAT-SEALED METAL END, A METAL END THEREFOR, AND A METHOD FOR MAKING SAME - A container assembly includes a container body having a side wall encircling an axis, and a metal end for attachment to an upper edge of the side wall via heat-sealing. The outer peripheral region is shaped prior to application to the container body such that an annular channel is defined between an inner chuck wall and an outer chuck wall of the metal end. The metal end is pushed straight onto the side wall such that the upper edge of the side wall is received into the channel. The surfaces of the side wall and the opposing surfaces of the chuck walls have heat-sealable material thereon. The metal end is heated to melt and fuse the heat-sealable layers, thereby sealing the metal end onto the side wall. The metal end is shaped such that the free edge of the outer chuck wall is not exposed. | 04-28-2011 |
| 20110108752 | Valve and Method of Making Same - A method of making a one-way gas release valve for releasing gas pressure from within a coffee container comprises pre-oiling a relatively narrow dry strap of flexible material and laminating the pre-oiled dry strap between relatively wide ribbons of base and cover material with the dry strap overlying spaced vent patterns in the base material. Alternatively, the base material may be pre-oiled or both the base material and the dry strap may be pre-oiled. The dry strap and base may be made of PET and the cover may be made of mPET. Gas release valves are then die cut from the resulting web with each valve containing a vent pattern. Pre-oiling of the dry strap and/or the base can be accomplished through a roll metered process to insure that the oil is applied in precise amounts and with consistent thickness and coverage. Since the oil is applied during fabrication of the gas release valves, the vent patterns in the base can be configured to function also as a filter to prevent coffee grinds from migrating into the valve. | 05-12-2011 |

| 20100250949 | GENERATION, REQUESTING, AND/OR RECEPTION, AT LEAST IN PART, OF TOKEN - An embodiment may include circuitry to at least one of generate at least in part, receive at least in part, and request at least in part, a token. The token may identify, at least in part, a device to an entity. The token, as received by the entity, may be encrypted, at least in part, based at least in part upon the entity's public key. The token may be generated by an authorized provider of the token based at least in part upon an identifier of the device and a signature. The signature may be generated based at least in part upon the provider's private key and the identifier. The token, as received by the entity, may be capable of being decrypted at least in part, based at least in part upon the entity's private key. The entity's private key may be maintained in secrecy from the device and provider. | 09-30-2010 |

| 20080214142 | Emergency Alerting System - An emergency alerting system for permitting a user to secretly send a request for help to multiple parties is described. The system uses a small panic button which may be concealed on the user and which can be activated without an attacker knowing that a call for help has been initiated. The panic button communicates the call for help to a cell phone or Blackberry which in turn sends the call to predetermined recipients using wireless technology. The call or alert message may also include location coordinates using GPS and the time of day. | 09-04-2008 |

| 20110289816 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR COLLIMATING AND COALIGNING OPTICAL COMPONENTS - A laser alignment assembly has two or more lasers aligned relative to one or more reflective surfaces to generate coaligned and collimated light beams. The assembly may further make the light beams collinear. The orientation of the reflective surface may be controlled by an electrically controllable actuator. The laser alignment assembly may be disposed in a weapon aiming system having visible and infrared lasers and may be coupled to a weapon to aid in aiming of the weapon. | 12-01-2011 |

| 20110087991 | Methods and Apparatus for Reliable Entry and Enhanced Presentation of IPv6 Addresses - A technique for establishing an IPv6 address for a network device involves displaying a prefix field for accessing a list of IPv6 address prefixes, an interface identifier field for accessing a list of interface identifiers, and a fillable address field for entering an IPv6 address. An IPv6 address is constructed in the address field from an IPv6 address prefix selected from the prefix field and an interface identifier selected from the interface identifier field. The IPv6 address can be modified by manually entering characters via a user interface. A technique for displaying IPv6 addresses involves combining a mnemonic, which replaces the digits of the IPv6 address prefix portion of the address, together with the digits of the interface identifier of the IPv6 address. IPv6 addresses not associated with a mnemonic are readily identifiable. | 04-14-2011 |
