20110313600 | INTEGRATED APPROACH NAVIGATION SYSTEM, METHOD, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT - Systems, computer program products, and methods for displaying navigation performance based flight path deviation information during the final approach segment to a runway and during landing of non-precision flight modes are provided. Improved graphical depictions of navigation performance based flight path deviation information provide pilots and flight crew members with clear, concise displays of the dynamic relationship between ANP and RNP, mode and aspect of flight and related procedures, intersecting flight paths, and current actual flight path deviation from a predefined flight path during the final approach segment to a runway and during landing. For example, an enhanced IAN display may include NPS-type deviation scales to show RNP/ANP relationships and predetermined RNP markers to alert the pilots and flight crew members that the FMC has transitioned from an NPS display for RNAV (LNAV/VNAV) flight procedures to an enhanced IAN display for a non-precision (non-xLS) approach and/or landing. | 12-22-2011 |

20090320668 | Pinky Pal - The Pinky Pal is a foam manipulative for trumpet players that helps to promote proper right hand position when playing the trumpet. The Pinky Pal retrofits over all manufactures brands of student model trumpets in which the trumpet's existing finger hook is positioned into the Pinky Pal and then slid over the existing trumpet finger hook with the Pinky Pals flaps falling onto both sides of the trumpet's top tubing. The Pinky Pal is then further secured underneath the trumpet's tubing by the Velcro found on the inside of the Pinky Pal flaps. The Pinky Pal is made up of a single piece of rectangular shaped EVA foam with a finger hole on the top, a center cut reaching halfway up the middle from the bottom (creating flaps) and a slit in the middle just below the finger hole for the trumpet's finger hook. The Pinky Pal helps trumpet players train their right hand pinky finger to stay in place atop the trumpets finger hook instead of inside the finger hook. The Pinky Pal also gives a lift to the right hand resulting in pressing down of the valves and not pulling down the valves. | 12-31-2009 |

20100118112 | GROUP TABLE TOP VIDEOCONFERENCING DEVICE - A group table top videoconferencing device for communication between local participants and one or more remote participants provides a camera assembly and display screens on the same housing—giving the remote participant the perception that the local participant is making direct eye-to-eye contact with him/her. The housing is placed such that the housing is within the field of view of every local participant viewing any other local participant. Because, the remote participant is always within the field of view of the local participant, the remote participant does not get the feeling of non-intimacy during the videoconference. A wall mounted display operates in conjunction with the videoconferencing device to display media content received from the remote participants. Keypad and a touch screen provide user interface for controlling the operation of the videoconferencing device. Speakers convert audio signals received from the remote participants into sound. | 05-13-2010 |

The device employs a stable and moldable base with an open ended piece of durable material, called a shell, which is fashioned into a tapered tube that is opened up on the side so as to allow the animal's foot or hoof to be inserted. The tapered tube wraps and closes around the horse's lower leg by use of several elastic straps sewn horizontally onto the exterior of the tapered tube material. The sizing of the protective covering allows the tube to be closed over most sized bandages, wraps or casts placed upon the injured animal and means for closing the tube from dirt or other items that might damage or degrade a bandage, wrap, splint or cast placed upon the animal's leg. Inserted or attached to the top of the moldable base is a soft neoprene pad that is resilient and provides a barrier from the ground with bottom of the horse's hoof This barrier is waterproof yet breathable and beneficial for the horse in that the horse's hoof is protected from contact with the ground yet the pliable nature allows for a more even distribution of weight to be applied on the animal's limbs. | 07-30-2009 |

20090006906 | Method and system for encoding data using rate-compatible irregular LDPC codes based on edge growth and parity splitting - In a system for parity encoding data using a low density parity check (LDPC) code, a rate-compatible, irregular LDPC code is generated by extending a base code using a constrained edge growth operation and a parity splitting operation. The base code is a “daughter” code having an encoding rate higher than a designated rate of the LDPC code. The daughter code is progressively extended to lower and lower rates such that each extension code (including the target LDPC code) is compatible with the previously obtained codes. The extension operation may involve introducing a set of new code symbols to the daughter code, by splitting check nodes of a base graph associated with the daughter code, and through constrained edge growth of the base graph. The LDPC code is used to parity encode a data message as a means for forward error correction across a communication channel. | 01-01-2009 |
