20090158005 | CLOCK ENCODED PRE-FETCH TO ACCESS MEMORY DATA IN CLUSTERING NETWORK ENVIRONMENT - Systems and/or methods that facilitate reading data from a memory component associated with a network are presented. A pre-fetch generation component generates a pre-fetch request based in part on a received read command. To facilitate a reduction in latency associated with transmitting the read command via an interconnect network component to which the memory component is connected, the pre-fetch request is transmitted directly to the memory component bypassing a portion of the interconnect network component. The memory component specified in the pre-fetch request receives the pre-fetch request and reads the data stored therein, and can store the read data in a buffer and/or transmit the read data to the requester via the interconnect network component, even though the read command has not yet reached the memory component. The read data is verified by comparison with the read command at a convergence point. | 06-18-2009 |
20090164836 | ERROR CORRECTION IN FLASH MEMORY ARRAY - Systems and/or methods that facilitate that facilitate error correction of data stored in memory components, such as flash memory devices are presented. An optimized correction component can be used to break data into two or more data blocks. The optimized correction component can facilitated creating one or two redundancy blocks that can be associated with the data blocks, wherein data blocks and the redundancy blocks can be assembled into a data stripe that can be stored in three or more of the memory components. Upon retrieval of the data stripe, the optimal correction component, an error correction code (ECC) component or a combination thereof can correct data blocks that contain errors wherein the decision whether the optimized correction component or the error correction code (ECC) component corrects the errors can be based in part on a predetermined criteria. | 06-25-2009 |

20090136301 | ACTIVE CONTROL RELEASABLE BALLAST SYSTEM FOR USE WITH DIVE EQUIPMENT - An active control releasable ballast system for dive equipment is disclosed which in one embodiment includes a removable pocket that is secured with a side release buckle within a fixed pocket. The buckle is required to be opened before the weight contained in the pocket can be dropped or given to another individual in or out of the water. Thus, the release of the weights is a conscious and deliberate act. | 05-28-2009 |
20090148240 | DIVE BELT - A dive belt is provided for use by divers during underwater activities, such as scuba diving. The belt comprises a body member and a weight release system which is quickly removal while the belt remains in place on the diver. A tow clip can be attached to the belt and may be used in conjunction with a surface air supply system for pulling the surface air supply system. | 06-11-2009 |
20110272608 | DYNAMIC TRANSDUCER FOR CONTROLLING AIR ON DEMAND SYSTEMS - A dynamic transducer for use in a water surface supplied breathing system used by one or more divers underwater. The dynamic transducer in connection with a pressure switch allows the breathing system to not constantly run at all times, and therefore helps to conserve the battery life or the amount of combustible, since the motor of the breathing system is basically stalled at startup and at other times when there is sufficient amount of stored air. A controller can monitor the output pressure and the volume of air of the compressor assembly and can adjust the speed of the power propulsion to keep the right pressure available to each diver's mouthpiece based on the air demands of the user(s). | 11-10-2011 |
20110308523 | AIR ON DEMAND BREATHING SYSTEM USING A DYNAMIC TRANSDUCER FOR CONTROLLING AIR - An air on demand breathing system using a dynamic transducer for controlling air is disclosed. As the compressor of the system only provides air within the hose line when a threshold has been reached as determined by the dynamic transducer battery consumption is extended as the battery does not have to provide power to the system at all times. A novel removal and replacement configuration for the one or more batteries of the system is also described. | 12-22-2011 |

20150080291 | SHORT ANTIMICROBIAL LIPOPEPTIDES - Disclosed are peptides having biological and therapeutic activity. Particularly disclosed are lipidated di- or tri-peptides analogs of KPV or KdPT that exhibit antimicrobial activity. In particular, the peptides of this invention provide enhanced anti-microbial activity over the base tri-peptides, lysine-proline-valine and lysine-d-proline-tyrosine. The disclosed peptides have the general formula of C12-18 lipid-KXZ-NH | 03-19-2015 |
20150353605 | SHORT BIO-ACTIVE PEPTIDES FOR PROMOTING WOUND HEALING - Peptides having four to six amino acid residues are disclosed that possess biological activity. These peptides constitute short fragments of the peptide HB-107 (MPKEKVFLKIEKMGRNIRN), which itself is a fragment of the antimicrobial protein cecropin B, and exhibit cell stimulatory and migratory properties. The inventive peptides comprise four to six contiguous amino acid residues located between position 11 and 16 of HB107 (MPKEKVFLKIEKMGRNIRN), namely EKMGRN. The disclosed peptides comprise a useful agent for the medical treatment of injury to the skin, such as from diabetic ulcers. The peptides also are effective in preventing and reversing skin surface damage resulting from various environmental insults Importantly, the therapeutic effects of the peptides manifest at concentrations equal to or greater than those of peptide HB-107, and thus represent a less expensive, more versatile means for developing effective therapies. Methods for the production and use of these peptides are also disclosed. | 12-10-2015 |
