| 20090022570 | SYSTEM, METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR FEEDING BIOMASS INTO A PRESSURIZED VESSEL - A system, method and apparatus for feeding biomass into a pressurized vessel. The apparatus includes: a screw feeding housing with a drive motor, and a screw; and a biomass inlet, wherein the biomass is dropped in the biomass inlet and the screw feeds the biomass into the pressurized vessel. | 01-22-2009 |
| 20110033268 | System For Feeding Biomass Into A Pressurized Vessel - The present disclosure provides for a system for feeding biomass into a pressured vessel, the system includes a screw-feeding housing, a drive motor, a rotary airlock, a first conveyor screw, a second conveyor screw, a barrel, a low friction liner attached to a substantial portion of the inside surface of the barrel, a pressure sensor positioned within the screw-feeding housing for monitoring backpressure, a compression disk, an actuator, a function controller which controls the pressure sensor, the drive motor and the actuator, and a control loop which comprises the function controller, the actuator, the drive motor, and the pressure sensor for monitoring backpressure within the screw-feeding housing and for controlling and adjusting the force applied by the actuator to the compression disk and the torque applied by the drive motor to the first conveyor screw, thereby effectuating an effectively sealed biomass plug. | 02-10-2011 |

| 20110099458 | ERROR DETECTION/CORRECTION BASED MEMORY MANAGEMENT - The present disclosure includes methods, devices, and systems for error detection/correction based memory management. One embodiment includes performing a read operation with respect to a particular group of memory cells of a memory device and, if the read operation results in an uncorrectable error, determining whether to retire the particular group of memory cells in response to a status of an indicator corresponding to the particular group of memory cells, wherein the status of the indicator indicates whether the particular group of memory cells has a previous uncorrectable error associated therewith. | 04-28-2011 |

| 20090273360 | SYSTEM FOR ISOLATING A SHORT-CIRCUITED INTEGRATED CIRCUIT (IC) FROM OTHER ICs ON A SEMICONDUCTOR WAFER - A circuit for isolating a short-circuited integrated circuit (IC) formed on the surface of a semiconductor wafer from other ICs formed on the wafer that are interconnected with the short-circuited IC includes control circuitry within the short-circuited IC for sensing the short circuit. The control circuitry may sense the short circuit in a variety of ways, including sensing excessive current drawn by the short-circuited IC, and sensing an abnormally low or high voltage within the short-circuited IC. Switching circuitry also within the short-circuited IC selectively isolates the short-circuited IC from the other ICs on the wafer in response to the control circuitry sensing the short circuit. As a result, if the wafer is under probe test, for example, testing can continue uninterrupted on the other ICs while the short-circuited IC is isolated. | 11-05-2009 |

| 20110051968 | LOUDSPEAKER ENCLOSURES FOR MOUNTING IN AN APERTURE IN A CAVITY WALL - A loudspeaker enclosure for mounting in an aperture in a cavity wall with a part of the enclosure being located within the wall cavity adjacent the aperture, comprises a main enclosure unit for mounting in the aperture and housing one or more loudspeaker drive units, and a supplementary enclosure unit for location within the wall cavity and being acoustically connected in use to the main unit to increase the effective internal volume of the enclosure beyond that of the main unit. The supplementary unit is connected to the main unit by an articulated connection enabling the main unit to be angled relative to the supplementary unit while the supplementary unit is being inserted through the aperture and into the wall cavity, and enabling the main unit to be aligned with and acoustically coupled to the supplementary unit when the main unit is positioned in the wall aperture. | 03-03-2011 |
