20150074655 | ELIMINATING REDUNDANT REFERENCE COUNT OPERATIONS IN INTERMEDIATE REPRESENTATION OF SCRIPT CODE - The disclosure is related to optimizing generation of intermediate representation (IR) for a script code by eliminating redundant reference count code from the IR. The reference count code includes code that manages a reference count of an object, e.g., code that increments a reference count of the object (“incref code”) and an observer code which consumes or the execution of which depends on the reference count of the object. The IR is analyzed to identify redundant reference count code. Counters associated with the object are evaluated and upon satisfying the optimization criterion, the incref code is moved closer to the observer code. The incref code and the observer code that are adjacent to each other are identified as redundant code pair and the code pair is eliminated from the IR to generate an optimized IR. The optimized IR is further converted to an executable code. | 03-12-2015 |

20100148676 | THREE-COLOR RGB LED COLOR MIXING AND CONTROL BY VARIABLE FREQUENCY MODULATION - Perceived output color and intensity (brightness) of light from a three-element red-green-blue (RGB) light emitting diode (LED) or optical combination of three LEDs (red, green and blue) are controlled with three pulse train signals, each having fixed pulse width and voltage amplitude and then increasing or decreasing the frequency (increasing or decreasing the number of pulses over a time period) of these pulse train signals so as to vary the average current through each of the RGB-LEDs. This reduces the level of electro-magnetic interference (EMI) at any one frequency by varying the pulse train energy spectrum over a plurality of frequencies. | 06-17-2010 |
20100148678 | LED Brightness Control by Variable Frequency Modulation - Perceived intensity (brightness) of light from a light emitting diode (LED) is controlled with a pulse train signal having fixed pulse width and voltage amplitude and then increasing or decreasing the frequency (increasing or decreasing the number of pulses over a time period) of this pulse train signal so as to vary the average current through the LED. This reduces the level of electro-magnetic interference (EMI) at any one frequency by varying the pulse train energy spectrum over a plurality of frequencies. | 06-17-2010 |

20140260511 | DIFFUSER DIAGNOSTIC FOR IN-SITU FLUE GAS MEASUREMENT DEVICE - A process gas analysis system is provided. The system includes a probe insertable into a source of process gas and having a distal end and a chamber proximate the distal end. A gas sensor is mounted within the chamber and is configured to provide an electrical indication relative to a species of gas. A diffuser is mounted proximate the distal end of the probe and is configured to allow gas diffusion into the chamber. A source of calibration gas is operably coupled to the probe and is configured to supply calibration gas, having a known concentration of the gas species. Electronics are coupled to the sensor and configured to store a pre-calibration process gas concentration and to measure an amount of time (sensor return time) for the sensor response to return to the pre-calibration process gas concentration. The electronics are configured to compare a measured sensor return time with a known-good sensor return time to provide an indication relative to the diffuser. | 09-18-2014 |
20140290329 | IN SITU PROBE WITH IMPROVED DIAGNOSTICS AND COMPENSATION - A process combustion transmitter is provided.

Electronic circuitry is coupled to the measurement cell and is configured to provide an indication relative to a combustion process based on an output signal of the measurement cell. A pressure sensor is coupled to the electronic circuitry and is fluidically coupled to the chamber. The electronic circuitry is configured to provide an adjusted calibration based on pressure measured within the chamber during a calibration. | 10-02-2014 |
20140295570 | IN SITU HEATED PROCESS PROBE - A process combustion transmitter is provided. The transmitter includes a process probe extendible into a flow of process combustion exhaust. The process probe has a measurement cell with an operating temperature that is above a flashpoint of process combustion fuel. The process probe includes a heater configured to heat the measurement cell to the operating temperature. Electronic circuitry is coupled to the measurement cell and to the heater. The electronic circuitry is configured to disengage power to the heater once process combustion heat is sufficient to maintain the measurement cell at the operating temperature and thereafter to maintain the heater in a de-energized state. | 10-02-2014 |

20100275901 | Tracking Device With Weathervaning Wind Stowage Mode of Operation - An improved tracking device comprised of a lightweight structural design optimized to carry it's own mass, that mass of a lightweight incident surface or surfaces for reflecting or absorbing energy, and to withstand the forces of low to medium wind loads. A weathervaning stowage mode is initiated under high wind conditions that will inherently rotate the structure such that the reflective facets will face away from the oncoming wind and any entrained dust, hail, or other particulate. The incident surfaces will also pivot upwards via pivots near the top mounting point to reduce the surface area presented to the wind and the resultant aerodynamic forces. A fixed wind deflector is employed to transfer wind load from the top of the incident surface(s) above the point of rotation where the wind load inhibits rotation to the bottom of the facet where upward rotation is enhanced. | 11-04-2010 |
