| 20080278202 | Capacitive load driving device - An improved capacitive load driving device that provides increased signal voltage gain, over-voltage, over-current, and over-temperature protections, over-modulation prevention, output level control, minimized harmonic generation, and compensation for propagation medium distortion. The device includes driver/amplifier circuitry, protection circuitry, and an output stage. The driver/amplifier circuitry simultaneously modulates and discretizes an analog input signal by comparing it with a specified digitally-synthesized modulation waveform, which is a repeating series of approximately parabolic waveforms. The resulting PWM waveform is processed to generate a discrete low-harmonic sine wave approximation used to produce gate drive signals for the output stage. The protection circuitry monitors the device for fault conditions, and, in the event a fault condition is detected, controls startup and automatic shutdown. The output stage includes an H-bridge that drives an impedance-matching transformer feeding an inductor. When the device is used to drive a capacitive transducer, the impedance-matching transformer, the inductor, and the transducer form a series-resonant circuit for boosting the signal voltage gain, reducing power consumption, and filtering higher harmonics. | 11-13-2008 |

| 20090007276 | System for making it ineffective to tamper with a software application by nullifying or removing calls to a license manager because the application can be run without a call to the license manager - Many software applications are protected from illegal or unauthorized use by the use of a License Manager. All installations of the application are required to obtain a license from the License Manager to run. Software pirates routinely circumvent this copy protection by disabling the call to the license manager or change the code of the application so it seems to have passed the license verification. The present invention makes such efforts ineffective. The installed application cannot run, unless the call to the License Manager is made, since important code and data has been extracted from the installation and must be delivered by the License Manager. Obviously, if the call to the License Manager is disabled or manipulated, the extracted code and data will not be delivered to the installed application and it will not run. | 01-01-2009 |

| 20090310165 | AUTOMATIC DETECTION AND RECONFIGURATION OF DEVICES - Described is a technology by which movement of a shared network device (e.g., a printer or storage device) to a different network machine triggers an automatic reconfiguration of the device and/or the network machines, so that those machines remain able to share that device. Configuration data may be pushed to the network machines, pulled by the network machines, and/or provided to a server by which the network machines may access the confirmation data. Reconfiguration may include creating a system user account and modifying the permissions associated with the device so that the other machine has access permission to use the device via the created account. | 12-17-2009 |

| 20080216095 | Graphics for End to End Component Mapping and Problem-Solving in a Network Environment - An example of a solution provided here comprises receiving as input at least one event (chosen from an event generated by an application probe, and an event generated by a component probe), and providing graphical output based on said inputs, whereby a user correlates a component problem with a performance problem affecting an application. Methods connected with graphics for end to end component mapping and problem-solving in a network environment, systems for executing such methods, and instructions on a computer-usable medium, for executing such methods, are provided. | 09-04-2008 |

| 20090034930 | Polymeric compositions comprising quantum dots, optical devices comprising these compositions and methods for preparing same - The present invention relates to a polymeric composition of matter. The composition includes at least one polymer matrix and plurality of quantum dots distributed therein. The polymer may be a perfluorocyclobutane polymer having high optical transmission at telecommunications wavelengths. The quantum dots may include cap compounds to increase the solubility of the quantum dots in the composition. Typical cap compounds include aromatic organic molecules. Optical devices including waveguides may be fabricated from the polymeric compositions of the invention. | 02-05-2009 |
