20080273839 | Connectorized nano-engineered optical fibers and methods of forming same - Connectorized nano-engineered optical fibers and method for forming them are disclosed. The methods include heating a mid-span bare fiber portion of the nano-engineered fiber to collapse the airlines therein so as to form an airline-free portion. The fiber is then inserted into a ferrule channel so that the fiber end protrudes beyond the ferrule end face, but with the airline-free portion positioned at the ferrule end face. The fiber is then cleaved at or near the ferrule end face in the airline-free portion, and the new fiber end face polished to create a solid fiber end face that coincides with the ferrule end face. The methods result in at most only minimal changes to the mode field diameter (MFD) and/or to the outer cladding diameter, which is essential in forming a connectorized nano-engineered fiber that can connect to like-size nano-engineered or non-nano-engineered fibers. | 11-06-2008 |

20130074288 | Nonblistering paddle sleeve - A pliable tubular paddle hand grip sleeve that reduces friction, motion, chaffing, wear and ultimately blisters to the hand during the normal paddling motion by isolating the motion to the surfaces between the paddle shaft and hand grip sleeve. The sleeve is slipped on to any paddle shaft without any effect to paddle. The sleeve maintains the cross sectional size and all radial and axial contours of any paddle shaft. | 03-28-2013 |
20130221047 | Self securing equipment strap - A strap assembly providing a means to secure large and varying sized articles to the back underside seat rails of a bicycle seat without adding weight or bulk to the bicycle. An attaching loop properly positions the strap assembly to the seat rail, aids in cinching the strap assembly tight and keeps the strap assembly attached to the seat rail when not in use. The attaching loop never permanently tightens so the strap assembly is always easily removed. The strap assembly is small and light enough to fit in a rider's jersey pocket or under-seat tool bag when not in use. The strap assembly negates the need for bicycle equipment bags. The strap assembly can also secure articles to backpacks, garment belts, car-top racks, kayak grab rails, tool boxes, bags and luggage. | 08-29-2013 |

20080240013 | Power Control for Compressed Mode in WCDMA System - To perform closed loop power control, a receiving station measures the signal strength of a received signal transmitted from a transmitting station, generates periodic power control commands based on the signal strength measurements, and transmits the periodic power control commands to a transmitting station to control the transmit power level of the transmitting station. A power control filter is used to adapt the power control mechanism when the transmitting station is operating in a compressed mode to compensate for intermittent transmission by the transmitting station in the compressed mode. | 10-02-2008 |

20110096766 | CURRENT CONSUMPTION REDUCTION WITH LOW POWER AMPLIFIER - A transceiver circuit and a method in a wireless communication network are provided, where a signal power level for a signal received at the transceiver circuit is measured and compared to a predefined threshold power level. At least two groups of power amplifiers may be used, where one group is optimized for high efficiency above the predefined threshold power level, and one group is optimized for high efficiency below the predefined threshold power level. The amplifiers may be used to amplify the received signal depending on the signal power level in relation to the predefined power threshold level. The signal may then be filtered by duplex filters and forwarded to a diversity antenna or a main antenna where it is transmitted over an air interface. | 04-28-2011 |

20090284366 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING POSITIONING INFORMATION VIA MODULATED LIGHT - Light sources are affixed at appropriate positions in a multilevel structure or in an obstructed environment. The light sources generate modulated light signals, such as controlled light-emitting diodes, which identify the positions of the light sources by their three-dimensional global positioning coordinates and/or equivalent representation that specifies their in situ locations in the environment. Mobile communication devices, upon receiving the light signals, can derive spatial positioning information and transmit such information to a remote location, such as an emergency response system. | 11-19-2009 |
20100016022 | Methods and Apparatus for Providing Services Information with a Femtocell Wireless Base Station - A femtocell base station is configured to transmit site-specific services data to in-range wireless devices, using a common broadcast channel.

An exemplary mobile station is configured to extract site-specific services data from the femtocell base station signal, and to access a second radio signal using the site-specific services data. In some embodiments, the second radio signal may comprise a low-power FM radio signal, a wireless local-area network (WLAN) signal, a location beacon, or a radio-navigation signal. | 01-21-2010 |
20100149029 | System and Method for Obtaining Location Assistance Data - An electronic device such as a cellular telephone, for example, includes a receiver that receives broadcast radio signals transmitted by a commercial broadcast radio station.

20110072248 | UNANIMOUS BRANCH INSTRUCTIONS IN A PARALLEL THREAD PROCESSOR - One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a mechanism for managing thread divergence in a thread group executing a multithreaded processor. A unanimous branch instruction, when executed, causes all the active threads in the thread group to branch only when each thread in the thread group agrees to take the branch. In such a manner, thread divergence is eliminated. A branch-any instruction, when executed, causes all the active threads in the thread group to branch when at least one thread in the thread group agrees to take the branch. | 03-24-2011 |

20110074802 | Architecture and Instructions for Accessing Multi-Dimensional Formatted Surface Memory - One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a technique for a program to access multi-dimensional formatted graphics surface memory. Multi-dimensional memory objects called “surfaces” stored in a user-specified data or pixel format and arranged in a graphics optimized layout are accessed by programs using surface instructions. A set of memory access instructions e.g., load, store, reduce, and atomic, referred to as surface instructions, may be used to access the surfaces. Coordinate bounds checking is performed with configurable clamping. Caching behavior may also be specified by the surface instructions.

Corresponding data words of the source operands are processed together via each instruction of a cascading sequence of instructions. State information generated when each instruction is processed is stored in condition code flags. The state information is optionally used in the processing of subsequent instructions in the sequence and/or accumulated with previously set state information. | 03-31-2011 |
20110078415 | Efficient Predicated Execution For Parallel Processors - The invention set forth herein describes a mechanism for predicated execution of instructions within a parallel processor executing multiple threads or data lanes. Each thread or data lane executing within the parallel processor is associated with a predicate register that stores a set of 1-bit predicates. Each of these predicates can be set using different types of predicate-setting instructions, where each predicate setting instruction specifies one or more source operands, at least one operation to be performed on the source operands, and one or more destination predicates for storing the result of the operation. An instruction can be guarded by a predicate that may influence whether the instruction is executed for a particular thread or data lane or how the instruction is executed for a particular thread or data lane. | 03-31-2011 |
