20110030450 | FIELD OLFACTOMETER WITH DIFFERENTIAL FLOW-BASED DYNAMIC DILUTION - A field olfactometer includes a mixing chamber connected to a mask. A sample flow path is defined through the olfactometer as is a diluent flow path. The sample flow path extends from a sample air inlet to a sample air outlet which is open to the mixing chamber. The diluent flow path extends from a diluent air inlet to a diluent air outlet which is also open to the mixing chamber. The sample flow path and diluent flow path are isolated from one another so that the sample air flowing through the sample flow path and diluent air flowing through the diluent flow path cannot mix until the two streams of air exit their respective flow path and enter the mixing chamber where the two streams mix thoroughly prior to reaching the mask. The diluent flow path includes a filter medium to remove odor-causing chemicals from ambient air drawn through the diluent flow path. A flow indicator arrangement provides a suitable indication when the flow rate at one or more points in the olfactometer reaches a predetermined value corresponding to a target dilution of diluent air to sample air. Different flow characteristics along the sample flow path as compared to the diluent flow path produces a gradually decreasing dilution ratio as a user inhales nasally at an increasing rate through the mask. | 02-10-2011 |

20120173072 | ENTERPRISE FUEL MANAGMENT SYSTEM - An enterprise fuel management system for managing fueling operations of an aircraft fleet operated by a fleet operator having a central computer system at a data center and operating aircraft at multiple airports avoids reliability problems associated with synchronizing a central database with local databases. Data collection units communicate collected fueling information wirelessly to a central data center, and the data collection units are not in direct communication with the fleet operator's central computer system. Moreover, the central data center gathers fueling information from the various data collection units and communicates the gathered fueling information to the fleet operator's central computer system as data messages for subsequent processing and action. In this way, the fleet operator's central computer system can maintain the only database of fueling information and flight information, obviating the need to synchronize the data in the fleet operator's computer system with data in some other computer system. | 07-05-2012 |

20130304997 | Command Throttling for Multi-Channel Duty-Cycle Based Memory Power Management - A technique for memory command throttling in a partitioned memory subsystem includes accepting, by a master memory controller included in multiple memory controllers, a synchronization command. The synchronization command includes command data that includes an associated synchronization indication (e.g., synchronization bit(s)) for each of the multiple memory controllers and each of the multiple memory controllers controls a respective partition of the partitioned memory subsystem. In response to receiving the synchronization command, the master memory controller forwards the synchronization command to the multiple memory controllers. In response to receiving the forwarded synchronization command each of the multiple memory controllers de-asserts an associated status bit. In response to receiving the forwarded synchronization command, each of the multiple memory controllers determines whether the associated synchronization indication is asserted. Each of the multiple memory controllers with the asserted associated synchronization indication then transmits the forwarded synchronization command to associated power control logic. | 11-14-2013 |

20110281005 | METHOD FOR REDUCING THE OIL CONTENT OF POTATO CHIPS - A method is disclosed which reduces the oil content of a potato chip. The method teaches that a steeper, faster temperature drop upon initial introduction of the potato slice to the fryer, followed by a longer period of exposure to lower temperatures before increasing to standard frying temperatures, reduces oil content of a potato chip. The invention further discloses a pre-treatment method which involves submerging the potatoes in a hot water bath which results in decreased oil content. Additionally, the invention discloses a post-treatment method involving subjecting the potato chip to superheated steam that further reduces oil content. The two pre and post-treatment methods, combined with the primary temperature scheme method for reducing oil content, yield a potato chip with significantly reduced oil content. | 11-17-2011 |

20090174407 | CRYOGENIC COOLING OF MRI/NMR COILS USING INTEGRATED MICROFLUIDIC CHANNELS - The present invention includes an assembly with a magnet for magnetic resonance having a substrate with an imaging surface and an opening within the substrate adjacent the imaging surface. The present invention enhances the sensitivity and reduces the acquisition time of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy by cooling the coil using microfluidic channels through which a cryogenic fluid is pumped. Various embodiments have been detailed for clinical imaging or detection in which the integrated coil/microfluidic cryo-cooling system is outside the patient body or in vivo imaging or detection in which the integrated coil/microfluidic cryo-cooling system is inside the patient. | 07-09-2009 |
20130134979 | Volume Array Coil with Enforced Uniform Element Currents for Improved Excitation Homogeneity - Each of the coils in a transmit coil array of a magnetic resonance imaging apparatus is electrically connected to a common voltage point by a transmission line. By controlling the electrical length of the transmission line connecting each of the coils to the common voltage point to an odd integer multiple of one quarter wavelength, the current delivered to each coil is independent of coil impedance. This principle of forced current excitation enables equal currents to be delivered to each coil of a magnetic resonance imaging transmit coil array regardless of the unique loading of the individual coils and mutual impedance between the coils. | 05-30-2013 |

20080250198 | Storage Consolidation Platform - One embodiment of the invention provides a disk-to-tape storage system including a front-end portion and a hack-end portion. The front-end portion ha, a first interface for receiving storage commands and data over a network from an application performing a backup or archive operation. The received storage commands conform to a standardised command format. The back-end portion has a second interface for transmitting storage commands and the received data for storage in a tape library. The disk-to-tape storage system is operable to transform the received storage commands from the standardised command format into an appropriate format for the transmitted storage commands so as to maintain direct accessibility by the application of the received data as stored in the tape library. | 10-09-2008 |
