20090263540 | Process and apparatus for reusing energy recovered in alcohol production - A process for producing ethanol wherein stillage is recycled into the process as a source of heat and power. Specifically, stillage is spray dried and then combusted in a biomass boiler. Spray drier exhaust is exported to the main scrubber and employed to extract particulates. Flue gas from the boiler is used to produce high pressure steam and the cooled gas is recycled back to the spray dryer as a heat source. The high pressure steam is used by a turbine generator which in turn produces electric power and low pressure steam both of which are returned to the process. Ash remaining after combustion may be used as a fertilizer. | 10-22-2009 |

Sensors configured to generate a response upon introduction of a fluid containing one or more analytes can be located on one or more surfaces relative to one or more fluid channels in an array. Fluid channels can take the form of pores or holes in a substrate material. Fluid channels can be formed between one or more substrate plates. Sensor can be fabricated with substantially optimized sensor volumes to generate a response having a substantially maximized signal to noise ratio upon introduction of a fluid containing one or more target analytes. Methods of fabricating and using such sensor arrays and systems are also disclosed. | 08-27-2009 |

20080252647 | Method And Apparatus For Bandwidth Corruption Recovery - A graphics processor is provided. The graphics processor includes a memory storing image data for presentation and a display memory region in communication with the memory, the display memory region supplying image data to a display panel for presentation. The graphics processor includes bandwidth control logic configured to monitor a lag between an output from the display memory region and an input into the display memory region. The bandwidth control logic is further configured to prevent a level of the display memory from decrementing when the lag between the output and the input is capable of causing corruption on the display panel due to a lack of data from the display memory region. A method for avoiding a buffer under run and a device are included. | 10-16-2008 |
20080252648 | Method And Apparatus For Providing Bandwidth Priority - A memory for a graphics processor is provided. The memory includes a write first-in-first-out (FIFO) region of the memory for receiving pixel data, and a read FIFO region for accessing the pixel data received into the memory through the write FIFO. The memory has a memory controller having write assembly logic for rearranging the pixel data received by the write FIFO for storage in the memory. The write assembly logic is configured to write data representing a first pixel and a second pixel across a plurality of data segments in the memory, where corresponding bit locations for the data representing the first pixel and the data representing the second pixel are contiguous. A graphics controller having the memory and a method for preventing data corruption from being displayed during an underflow are included. | 10-16-2008 |
20080252649 | Self-Automating Bandwidth Priority Memory Controller - A memory controller that includes a write first in first out (FIFO) region of the memory for receiving pixel data and a read FIFO region of the memory for accessing the pixel data received through the write FIFO is provided. The memory controller is configured to rearrange the pixel data received by the write FIFO for storage in the memory by writing data representing a first pixel and a second pixel across a plurality of registers in the memory, wherein corresponding bit locations for the data representing the first pixel and the data representing the second pixel are stored within a same one of the plurality of registers. The memory controller is configured to grant access to one of multiple requests for access to the memory based on corresponding bit locations associated with the multiple requests. A graphics controller and a method for prioritizing access to a memory are provided. | 10-16-2008 |

20090021428 | Signal Processor and Signal Processing Method - Signal processor for a GNSS receiver, in particular a GPS receiver, characterized by the use of un-refreshed volatile dynamic memory as a storage element for real-time digital data. The invention takes advantage from the facts that many memory units are used to store real-time data and are constantly overwritten at a rate which can conveniently shorter than a mean retention time of a DRAM cell. Moreover several memories are used to store noise-dominated data which are then statistically analyzed in a way can tolerate a small rate of retention errors. Thus the automatic refresh circuitry can be disposed of without adverse effect. | 01-22-2009 |

20110226653 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DISPLAYING A PADLOCK - A system and method is provided for displaying a padlock. In one embodiment of the present invention, the system includes a padlock, a card and a back plate, wherein the card includes a front side, a back side and an aperture sized to receive at least a body of the padlock, and the back plate is configured to be attached to the back side of the card (e.g., via coupling portions). The card further includes a plurality of retaining tabs that extend from a front side and/or a back side of the card and are used to retain the padlock by restricting movement of the padlock in a direction orthogonal and/or parallel to the face of the card. Each retaining tab is configured to retain the padlock by providing at least one retaining surface. For example, a first retaining tab may have a first (curved) surface and a second surface substantially parallel to the face of the card, wherein the first surface restricts movement of the padlock in a direction parallel to the face of the card (i.e., prevents the padlock from moving side to side) and the second surface restricts movement of the padlock in a direction orthogonal to the face of the card (i.e., prevents the padlock from moving out, away from the face of the card). Once the padlock is placed in the aperture and the back plate is attached to the card, the padlock is secured (e.g., between at least one retaining tab and the back plate) and ready to be displayed (e.g., on a hook, on a shelf, on a display rack, etc.). | 09-22-2011 |
