Publication number: 20220287477Abstract: A segmented toy bar assembly includes multiple toy bar segments connected by couplings that allow for reconfiguration between an expanded configuration defining an expanded length and a compact configuration having a compact length that is substantially less than the expanded length. The toy bar segments may take the form of flexible members having a cross-sectional width at least two times the cross-sectional thickness, to allow the expanded toy bar to flex into an arch for placement over a play mat or other children's accessory. Toys may be suspended from the erected toy bar for play and entertainment.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 10, 2022Publication date: September 15, 2022Applicant: KIDS2, INC.Inventors: John A.

Patent number: 9720491Abstract: Systems and methods may provide for determining, in a first domain that manages a state of a second domain, that the second domain is in the state and determining, in the first domain, that a periodic action has been scheduled to occur in the second domain while the second domain is in the state. Additionally, the periodic action may be documented as a missed event with respect to the second domain. In one example, documenting the periodic action as a missed event includes incrementing a missed event counter.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2015Date of Patent: August 1, 2017Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Dean Mulla, Daniel G. Borkowski, Krishnakanth V. Sistla, Victor Wu, Manev Luthra

Patent number: 7625296Abstract: A directional practice device includes an elongated ball-receiving member disposed on a flat surface and having a slot adapted for receiving a plurality of golf balls, and an upright heel-engaging surface disposed at a side of the ball-receiving member and perpendicular to the flat surface. The heel-engaging surface has a lower end defining a side of a head-traveling path extending along a longitudinal direction. The golf balls can be pushed by a putter head to drop from the slot onto the head-traveling path one at a time. After one of the golf balls drops onto the head-traveling path, the putter head can be moved along the head-traveling path to strike the one of the golf balls in the longitudinal direction in such a manner that the heel of the putter head moves on the heel-engaging surface.Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 2008Date of Patent: December 1, 2009Inventors: Victor Wu, Leo Wu, Authar Wu

Patent number: 7231309Abstract: A method and an apparatus for testing a bridge circuit. The method includes inputting a first test clock to a first conversion unit for triggering the first conversion unit to transfer a test data to a second conversion unit according to rising edges of the first test clock, inputting a second test clock to the second conversion unit for triggering the second conversion unit to output an output data according to falling edges of the second test clock, and controlling the first test clock and the second test clock so that the rising edges of the second test clock are not synchronized to the rising edges of the first test clock. A frequency of the first test clock is an even multiple of a frequency of the second test clock.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 2004Date of Patent: June 12, 2007Assignee: VIA Technologies Inc.Inventors: Biyun Yeh, Victor Wu, Jiin Lai
