| 20110014414 | SUSTAINABLE SIMULATED COMMODITY TROPICAL HARDWOOD PANEL - A simulated commodity tropical hardwood-based panel includes an engineered veneer face including a first wood from one or more sustainable sources of wood. The face has a dyed coloring, a simulated grain, or a dyed coloring and a simulated grain that is substantially similar to the coloring, grain, or coloring and grain of a tropical hardwood veneer. The panel further includes a back and a core disposed between the face and back. The face, the core and back are stacked and adhered together to form a laminated panel. The face of the simulated commodity tropical hardwood-based panel has an appearance that is substantially similar to the appearance of the face veneer of a commodity tropical hardwood-based panel that includes the tropical hardwood veneer. The panel comprises no tropical hardwood from a non-sustainable source of wood. | 01-20-2011 |

| 20110045416 | Compressor and Method for Compressing Gaseous Fuel - A method for compressing gaseous fuel is disclosed. The method includes, ingesting gaseous fuel into a chamber, ingesting air into the chamber and mixing the gaseous fuel with the air, igniting and partially combusting the resulting mixture of gaseous fuel and air in a confined space such that a predominant fraction of the gaseous fuel is not combusted, causing an increased temperature and therefore an increased pressure of the fraction of the gaseous fuel which is not combusted, and discharging the resulting compressed gaseous fuel. Moreover, a compressor is provided including a casing, a rotor with at least three vanes, an inlet for gaseous fuel, an outlet for gaseous fuel, an air inlet and an igniter. The rotor is placed in the casing such that at least three variable-volume chambers part-bounded by the vanes are formed during a rotor revolution. | 02-24-2011 |

| 20080232400 | DYNAMIC MANAGEMENT OF RECEIVER RESOURCES - Techniques for dynamically managing receiver resources to achieve good latency and throughput performance are described. A receiver may have various types of receiver resources such as demod resources for demodulating packets, decode resources for decoding packets, packet processing resources, etc. These various types of receiver resources may be dynamically assigned to packets. In one design, receiver resource usage by each packet to be processed by the receiver may be estimated. The available receiver resources may be assigned to packets based on the estimated receiver resource usage by each packet and one or more assignment criteria such as priority, latency requirements, etc. The latency of each packet may be determined based on the receiver resource assignment. If the latency requirements of any packet are not met, then receiver processing may be skipped or deferred for one or more packets such that the latency requirements of each packet to be processed can be met. | 09-25-2008 |

| 20120072329 | ELECTRONIC QUANTITY PURCHASING SYSTEM - Disclosed is an electronic quantity purchasing system which is a host computer that a user may access to purchase quantities of goods or services at a locked-in price for later redemption. The preferred communication means employed is via secure, high-speed Internet access. Data storage is electronic. Users employ the system to make an instant purchase of a small or large quantity of a commodity, such as gasoline at the current purchase price. Users can redeem all or part of their balance for real product at a physical location in the future when desired. The redemption will draw down the user's account balance at the locked-in purchase price, so the user is able to circumvent the market price in effect at the time of redemption. | 03-22-2012 |
