20110033017 | Method and Apparatus for Generating Synchronization Signals for Synchronizing Multiple Chips in a System - A clock generator circuit for generating synchronization signals for a multiple chip system. The clock generator circuit comprises generation of a synchronization signal from a reference clock and chip global clock with edge detection logic. In high performance server system design with multiple chips, a common practice for server systems is to use feedback clock and delayed reference clock to generate the synchronization signal. The generated synchronization signal is transferred to latches clocked by the global clock to be used for chip synchronization functions. As the system clock frequency is pushed higher, the phase difference between generated synchronization signal clocked by feedback clock and receiving latch clocked by global clock is becoming such a large portion of cycle time that this signal cannot be transferred deterministically. This invention resolves the uncertainty problem and allows the synchronization signals to be generated deterministically independent of the chip global clock cycle time. | 02-10-2011 |

20090164935 | SYMBOL LISTS FOR GRAMMAR-DRIVEN DATA ENTRY - In a data entry environment constrained by a symbolic grammar, a data entry position in the data set may be amenable to the insertion of a subset of symbols in compliance with the grammar. Also, the grammar may or may not permit the insertion of a value of one or more types at the data entry position of the data set. In order to facilitate grammatically correct data entry, a symbol list may be presented that indicates the grammatically valid symbols for the symbolic context of the data entry position, as well as the validity of the insertion of a value at the data entry position. The symbol list may also permit the selection of a symbol list option, and may insert the selected symbol or value at the data entry position. Various symbol list option selection inputs may be associated with the symbol list options to facilitate and economize data entry, and the association may be adapted based on whether or not a value is permitted at the data entry position. Several variations of these techniques are discussed relating to the use of symbol lists in various data entry and grammar scenarios, the presentation of the symbol lists, and the user interaction with the symbol lists. | 06-25-2009 |

20110048084 | LOCK AND KEY MECHANISM AND METHOD OF USE - A lock and key mechanism reduces exposure to lock picking by including an extension into a key slot to receive and conceal tapered end portions of key pins. The only portions of key pins exposed in a key slot are cylindrical portions that are difficult to move from a resting position. A key includes a beveled leading edge and a spring-loaded pin activation element at the leading edge of the key. As the key is inserted into the key slot, the spring-loaded pin activation element is compressed to permit entry into the key slot. As the pin activation element reaches a pin, an aperture in the extension allows the spring-loaded pin activation element to move toward the key pin and move the key pin from its resting position. In this activated position, the tapered end portion of the key pin is exposed for further activation by the beveled leading edge of the key. The process is repeated until the pin activation element engages and activates each successive key pin and allows full insertion of the key. | 03-03-2011 |

20090269610 | HIGH-ENERGY CAPACITORS FOR IMPLANTABLE DEFIBRILLATORS - Implantable defibrillators are implanted into the chests of patients prone to suffering ventricular fibrillation, a potentially fatal heart condition. A critical component in these devices is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor, which stores and delivers life-saving bursts of electric charge to a fibrillating heart. To reduce capacitor size, manufacturers have developed special aluminum foils, such as core-etched and tunnel-etched aluminum foils. Unfortunately, core-etched foils don't work well in multiple-anode capacitors, and tunnel-etched foils are brittle and tend to break when making some common types of capacitors. Accordingly, the inventors devised a new foil structure having perforations and cavities. In an exemplary embodiment, each perforation and cavity has a cross-sectional area, with the perforations having a larger, for example, 2 to 100 times larger, average cross-sectional area than the cavities. Other embodiments of the invention include foil assemblies, capacitors, and implantable defibrillators that benefit from properties of the new foil structure. | 10-29-2009 |
