| 20080276012 | Driver Loading via a PnP Device - The present invention enables a USB device to provide its own vendor-specific device driver and invoke and install vendor-specific installation software stored on the USB device itself. In one embodiment of the invention, the present invention enables communication between a USB device and a host by receiving a USB device into a USB connection port embedded within the host, enumerating the USB device as a device belonging to a first class, providing a user with access to the USB device wherein the access permits a user to find a program for the USB device and invoke the program, installing the stored program; and recognizing and/or enumerating the USB device as a device from a second class, different from the first class, upon any successive connection of the USB device into the USB connection port of the host. | 11-06-2008 |
| 20080288992 | Systems and Methods for Improving Image Responsivity in a Multimedia Transmission System - The present invention relates to improved methods and systems for transmission of images overlaid on video, particularly images requiring high levels of responsivity (e.g. mouse pointers) relative to the underlying video, from a computing device to a television. In one embodiment, the present invention is directed to a method of transmitting at least one video frame with an overlaid image, comprising the steps of capturing at least one frame of video data separate from the overlaid image at a first rate, capturing the overlaid image separate from the frame of video data at a second rate, packetizing the captured frame of video data, packetizing the overlaid image, wherein the frame video data are in data packets separate from the overlaid image data packets, and transmitting separate video data packets and overlaid image data packets. | 11-20-2008 |

| 20090071752 | OIL REMOVAL SYSTEM AND METHOD - An apparatus for draining oil from an engine. The apparatus includes an engine having an engine housing, crankshaft, a piston, and an oil reservoir, an engine starting mechanism configured to engage the crankshaft and piston, a check valve configured to prevent pressure in a crankcase from escaping and configured to allow filtered air into the engine, and a selector valve configured to open a flow path between the check valve and a vent so oil can be drained. | 03-19-2009 |
| 20100004093 | AUTOMATIC ENGINE SPEED ADJUSTMENT - An apparatus and method move a speed control lever of an engine automatically in response to movement of a manual actuator to engage a driven member. | 01-07-2010 |
| 20110005479 | AIR INJECTION SYSTEM FOR ENGINE EXHAUST - An engine with an exhaust pathway air injection system includes a combustion chamber having an exhaust port and a crankcase having an opening formed in the crankcase. The opening is designed to allow pressure pulses from within the crankcase to be received through the opening. The engine also includes an air pump having an inlet, an outlet, and a pumping mechanism. The air pump is attached to the opening formed in the crankcase. Pressure pulses power the pumping mechanism. Additionally the engine includes a manifold attaching the exhaust port and the pump outlet. | 01-13-2011 |
| 20110050069 | SPARK PLUG - A spark plug includes a terminal for receiving an electrical charge, a firing electrode on a firing end of the spark plug, and a conductor electrically coupling the terminal and the firing electrode. The spark plug further includes a casing, an electrical insulator, and a ground electrode. The casing is at least partially formed from an electrically conductive material and is configured to be electrically coupled to a ground. The electrical insulator separates the conductor from the casing. The ground electrode is positioned proximate to the firing electrode, but separated from the firing electrode to allow a spark to jump between the firing and ground electrodes during operation of the spark plug. The ground electrode includes an extension coupled to the casing and projecting from the casing such that the firing electrode is closer to the ground electrode than the firing electrode is to the casing. There is substantially no air gap between the interior of the casing and the electrical insulator from the firing end of the spark plug. | 03-03-2011 |
| 20110226217 | ENGINE SPEED CONTROL SYSTEM - An engine includes a throttle assembly, a governor, and an actuator. The throttle assembly is designed to at least partially control a fuel flow rate of the engine. The governor is designed to sense a speed of the engine and at least partially control the throttle assembly as a function of the engine speed. The actuator is designed to sense a manifold vacuum pressure of the engine and at least partially control the throttle assembly as a function of the vacuum pressure. | 09-22-2011 |
| 20110232928 | TRANSMISSION FOR OUTDOOR POWER EQUIPMENT - Outdoor power equipment includes an engine having a throttle and a drive shaft, a driven shaft, a tool coupled to the driven shaft. The engine further includes a transmission coupling the drive and driven shafts and providing a mechanical advantage therebetween. The transmission automatically changes the mechanical advantage in response to torque experienced by the driven shaft. | 09-29-2011 |

| 20100169582 | Obtaining data for redundant multithreading (RMT) execution - In one embodiment, the present invention includes a method for providing a cache block in an exclusive state to a first cache and providing the same cache block in the exclusive state to a second cache when cores accessing the two caches are executing redundant threads. Other embodiments are described and claimed. | 07-01-2010 |
| 20100169628 | Controlling non-redundant execution in a redundant multithreading (RMT) processor - In one embodiment, the present invention includes a method for controlling redundant execution such that if an exceptional event occurs, the redundant execution is stopped, non-redundant execution is performed in one of the threads until the exceptional event has been-resolved, after which a state of the threads is synchronized, and redundant execution is continued. Other embodiments are described and claimed. | 07-01-2010 |
| 20100169693 | STATE HISTORY STORAGE FOR SYNCHRONIZING REDUNDANT PROCESSORS - Embodiments of an invention for synchronizing redundant processors using state history are disclosed. In one embodiment, an apparatus includes two processors, state storage for each processor, and control logic. Each processor is to execute the same instructions. The state storage is to store compressed processor state information for each instruction executed by the processors. The control logic is to synchronize the two processors based on entries from the state storage. | 07-01-2010 |
| 20110161630 | GENERAL PURPOSE HARDWARE TO REPLACE FAULTY CORE COMPONENTS THAT MAY ALSO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL PROCESSOR FUNCTIONALITY - An apparatus and method is described herein for replacing faulty core components. General purpose hardware is provided to replace core pipeline components, such as execution units. In the embodiment of execution unit replacement, a proxy unit is provided, such that mapping logic is able to map instruction/operations, which correspond to faulty execution units, to the proxy unit. As a result, the proxy unit is able to receive the operations, send them to general purpose hardware for execution, and subsequently write-back the execution results to a register file; it essentially replaces the defective execution unit allowing a processor with defective units to be sold or continue operation. | 06-30-2011 |
