20130103787 | HIGHLY AVAILABLE NETWORK FILER WITH AUTOMATIC LOAD BALANCING AND PERFORMANCE ADJUSTMENT - Techniques are provided for exporting one or more file systems through multiple nodes of a cluster. One or more of the exported file systems may be simultaneously exported through a single node of the cluster. A bundle, or mapping between a node in the cluster and a file system, is created. The bundle represents an amount of work assigned to the node. A bundle is reassigned from one node to another node in the cluster in response to a failover, an addition of a new node to the cluster, or in response to a load balancing determination. | 04-25-2013 |

20100268402 | Onboard Starter-Interrupt Device Incorporating Wireless Personal Area Network - An onboard starter-interrupt device uses a Personal Area Network (PAN) to facilitate communication between a wireless device (such as a cellular telephone or personal digital assistant (PDA)) and the onboard device (also referred to interchangeably as a vehicle control device or a payment enforcement device) installed on a vehicle. The PAN can be implemented using, for example, the well-known Bluetooth protocol. The use of a PAN avoids the need for a visible keypad or other input device installed in the vehicle. The interface with the PAN also facilitates direct communication (including voice communication) using an existing cell phone. The interface with the PAN further allows a user or administrator to configure the operation of the onboard device using input/output components of the wireless device. | 10-21-2010 |

20150177371 | CALIBRATED RADAR APPARATUS AND ASSOCIATED METHODS - A radar apparatus measures at least one characteristic of at least one object even in a near field. A sweep generator generates a sweep signal to modulate an oscillator to generate a varying frequency signal. A transmitter transmits the varying frequency signal as a radar signal. A receiver receives a reflected radar signal to produce a received signal using the varying frequency signal. A compensation signal memory holds a previously stored compensation signal. A compensation circuit compensates the received signal based on the previously stored compensation signal to produce a compensated received signal. A frequency transformation circuit transforms the compensated received signal to produce a frequency spectrum signal. A peak detector measures the characteristic of the object based on a peak of the frequency spectrum signal. When operating in a calibration mode and the reflected radar signal is quieted, the received signal is written into the compensation signal memory. | 06-25-2015 |
20150331091 | RADAR APPARATUS WITH QUIET SWITCH CALIBRATION AND ASSOCIATED METHODS - A radar apparatus measures at least one characteristic of at least one object. A sweep generator generates a sweep signal to modulate an oscillator to generate a varying frequency signal. A transmitter transmits the varying frequency signal as a radar signal. A receiver receives a reflected radar signal to produce a received signal using the varying frequency signal. A compensation signal memory holds a previously stored compensation signal. A compensation circuit compensates the received signal based on the previously stored compensation signal to produce a compensated received signal. A quiet switch quiets the reflected radar signal and determines the previously stored compensation signal, during calibration of the radar apparatus, and the received signal is written into the compensation signal memory. Switched loads can be used to quiet the reflected radar signal. For field calibration, the compensated signal can be adjusted but not necessarily written back into the compensation signal memory. | 11-19-2015 |

20090084381 | PORTABLE DRAG COMPRESSOR POWERED MECHANICAL VENTILATOR - A ventilator, device and system comprising a rotating compressor, preferably a drag compressor, which, at the beginning of each inspiratory ventilation phase, is accelerated to a sufficient speed to deliver the desired inspiratory gas flow, and is subsequently stopped or decelerated to a basal flow level to permit the expiratory ventilation phase to occur. The ventilator device is small and light weight enough to be utilized in portable applications. The ventilator device is power efficient enough to operate for extended periods of time on internal or external batteries. Also provided is an oxygen blending apparatus which utilizes solenoid valves having specific orifice sizes for blending desired amounts of oxygen into the inspiratory gas flow. Also provided is an exhalation valve having an exhalation flow transducer which incorporates a radio frequency data base to provide an attendant controller with specific calibration information for the exhalation flow transducer. | 04-02-2009 |
