| 20110078540 | INTERLACED ITERATIVE SYSTEM DESIGN FOR 1K-BYTE BLOCK WITH 512-BYTE LDPC CODEWORDS - To allow a single LDPC decoder to operate on both 512 B blocks and 4 KB blocks with comparable error correction performance, 512 KB blocks are interlaced to form a 1 KB data sequence, and four sequential 1 KB data sequences are concatenated to form a 4 KB sector. A de-interlacer between the detector and decoder forms multiple data sequence from a single data sequence output by the detector. The multiple data sequences are separately processed by a de-interleaver between the de-interlacer and the LDPC decoder, by the LDPC decoder, and by an interleaver at the output of the LDPD decoder. An interlacer recombines the multiple data sequences into a single output. Diversity may be improved by feeding interleaver seeds for respective codewords into the de-interleaver and interleaver during processing. | 03-31-2011 |
| 20110083058 | TRAPPING SET BASED LDPC CODE DESIGN AND RELATED CIRCUITS, SYSTEMS, AND METHODS - A method of generating a Tanner graph includes generating a pseudo-random parameter and selecting a subgraph within the Tanner graph to be designed, and assigning new edges to the subgraph as a function of the value of the pseudo-random parameter and as a function of prior edges, if any, that have been assigned to the subgraph. The method detects whether the subgraph contains a common feature indicative of a trapping set or sets to be avoided during generation of the Tanner graph until either the common feature is not detected or all possible combination of edges have been assigned to the subgraph. The subgraph containing no occurrences of the common feature is included as part of the Tanner graph or one of combinations is selected as the subgraph and is included as part of the Tanner graph. These operations are repeated until the entire Tanner graph is generated. | 04-07-2011 |
| 20110131467 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ENCODING LBA INFORMATION INTO THE PARITY OF A LDPC SYSTEM - Systems and methods for encoding and decoding at least one logical block address in a low density parity check (LDPC) are disclosed. These systems and methods can include selecting a LDPC Code matrix and a parity check matrix wherein the LDPC Code matrix and the parity check matrix have an orthogonal relationship. These systems and methods may further include encoding a data element using at least some of the LBA bits in the parity bits in a LDPC codeword creating a parity vector using the at least some of the LBA bits in the LDPC codeword. | 06-02-2011 |

| 20090098509 | Dental tooth extraction implement and method thereof - This application relates to the field of Dentistry, and in more particular to the atraumatic extraction of teeth. The instant invention is a wedge-shaped extraction rod to be inserted into a pre-drilled root. With a wider than thick configuration, the wedge-shaped rod allows the controlled introduction of both clockwise and counterclockwise torque around the vertical axis of the root to induce dislodgment from the natural socket seating, before the subsequent vertical removal of the root. | 04-16-2009 |

| 20100077165 | Tracking Block-Level Changes Using Snapshots - Writes to blocks of a protected storage volume that occur between the beginning of a prior backup interval and the beginning of a current backup interval are tracked using a first snapshot that is maintained through the current backup interval. At the beginning of the current backup interval, a second snapshot is generated. Blocks that are indicated by a dirty block list of the first snapshot as having been changed are read from the snapshot volume for the second snapshot and copied to a backup storage volume. For the next backup interval, the second snapshot or alternatively, a newly generated third snapshot, is used to track writes to blocks of a protected storage volume that occur between the beginning of the current backup interval and the beginning of a next backup interval. | 03-25-2010 |
| 20110088027 | TRACKING BLOCK-LEVEL WRITES - One embodiment is a method of installing a block-level write tracking driver in a Microsoft Windows™ operating system so that no reboot of the system is need, another embodiment is a method of installing a block-level write tracking driver in a Linux operating system so that no reboot of the system is needed, and still another embodiment is a method of tracking block-level writes to snapshots under newer Microsoft Windows™ operating systems. | 04-14-2011 |

| 20110307826 | USER INTERFACE WITH MOUSE-OVER FUNCTION - Systems and methods to provide a user interface with a mouse-over function are provided. A system may comprise a detecting module to detect a user interface event received from a user device and to detect an event type. A pointer is detected as being within an area of interest of a plurality of areas of interest in the user interface upon determining that the event type is an update pointer event location. A rendering module populates a mini-view with mini-view data corresponding to the area of interest selected by virtue of the location of the pointer. | 12-15-2011 |

| 20110282943 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DETERMINING VALUE OF SOCIAL MEDIA PAGES - Systems and methods for evaluating the effectiveness of social media pages. Users of social media systems review and publish various kinds of content on social media pages, including various messages, audio clips, video clips, polls, web links, etc. A social media page evaluation system hosted on a physical server or a cloud receives a social media page that is to be evaluated, and provides results of an evaluation process. The evaluation process involves processing of various criteria and parameters that characterize engagements and interactions between users of social media pages. Results of an evaluation process include qualitative and quantitative attributes in connection with evaluating the effectiveness of published content on social media pages. Such results are useful for purposes of enriching content in social media pages, resulting in greater network traffic due to increased engagements and interaction among users of social media pages. | 11-17-2011 |

| 20090065295 | DESUPERHEATER MUFFLER - A liner system for a steam outlet pipe of a turbine bypass system comprises a liner mounted in spaced coaxial relation to the inner pipe wall such that an annular cavity is defined between the liner and the steam outlet pipe. The cavity is open on an upstream end and closed on a downstream end such that a quarter-wavelength resonator is formed for attenuating noise associated with a flow of superheated steam passing through the steam pipe. The liner may include a plurality of perforations to further attenuate noise in the steam outlet pipe. The open upstream end and closed downstream end of the cavity increases pressure within the cavity to prevent cooling water from entering the perforations and contacting the inner pipe wall. A wire mesh disposed against the outer liner wall may block cooling water penetration through the perforations and may further attenuate noise associated with the flow of superheated steam. | 03-12-2009 |
