Abstract: Embodiments of apparatus, methods and systems of solid state drive are disclosed. One embodiment of a solid state drive includes a non-blocking fabric, wherein the non-blocking fabric comprises a plurality of ports, wherein a subset of the plurality of ports are each connected to a flash controller that is connected to at least one array of flash memory. Further, this embodiment includes a flash scheduler for scheduling data traffic through the non-blocking fabric, wherein the data traffic comprises a plurality of data packets, wherein the flash scheduler extracts flash fabric header information from each of the data packets and schedules the data traffic through the non-blocking fabric based on the extracted flash fabric header information. The scheduled data traffic provides transfer of data packets through the non-blocking fabric from at least one array of flash memory to at least one other array of flash memory.

Abstract: A consumer electronic device cradle for holding and providing power to any number of consumer electronic devices has a cavity that is large enough to contain a largest anticipated consumer electronic device. The cavity has there within one or more steps and each step defines a sub cavity within the cavity. Each sub cavity within the cavity supports another smaller sized consumer electronic device. A trough is cut or formed in a side surface of the cavity for routing a cable to the consumer electronic device resting in the cavity. In some embodiments, a support wall extends from a surface of the cradle for supporting the consumer electronic device and the trough is also cut or formed through the support wall.

Abstract: A consumer electronic system for holding and providing power to any number of consumer electronic devices has cradles and each of the cradles has a pair of folding support walls. The pair of folding support walls are separated by a gap, allowing for a device cable to be routed between the two sections so that, when a consumer electronic device is within the cradle and connected to a power port for charging or use (by the cable) the consumer electronic device sits properly. Since the device cable, passes through this gap, the device cable doesn't perturb the consumer electronic device (e.g., allowing for a stable containment of the consumer electronic device at a proper viewing angle).

Abstract: A consumer electronic system for holding and providing power to any number of consumer electronic devices includes any number of cradles in a staggered configuration, such that, displays of consumer electronic devices in each of the cradles are each visible without being substantially blocked by other consumer electronic devices. In one embodiment, the consumer electronic system for holding and providing power comprises multiple sub-systems, each having one or more cradles, such that, the sub-systems are joined to produce a consumer electronic system for holding and providing power to the desired number of possible consumer electronic devices at one time.

Abstract: A device charging system includes a base that has two opposing rim edges that are substantially parallel to each other and are spaced apart by a width corresponding to a hanging folder rail width. Several jacks are on a surface of the base, each is electrically connected to a source of power. Several hanging folders, each having integrated hanging folder rails, interface to the two opposing rim edges. The hanging folder rails are of a width corresponding to the hanging folder rail width. Several devices are physically held within a corresponding hanging folder and each device is electrically connected to one of the jacks by a charging cable, thereby providing power from the source of power to charge that device.

Abstract: System and method for high speed data storage. An unmounted unformatted direct access storage device (DASD) may be opened via an operation system (OS) application programming interface (API). A maximum amount of storage space afforded by the DASD may be determined, and the DASD locked, thereby limiting write access to the DASD to a first application process and excluding writes to the DASD by any other application process. A single data type data stream is received, and stored on the DASD in linear fashion as it is received without using a file system architecture, metadata, indices, or keys associated with the data, including writing a block of the stream of data to the DASD and returning a next contiguous write location on the DASD in an iterative manner. The stored data are readable by multiple readers in a linear manner without using the file system architecture, metadata, indices, or keys.

Abstract: A golf club head designed to act under impact load as a bridge comprising a face; an inertial support system; a rear structure; and a force transfer system, under impact load the force transfer system, in cooperation with the inertial support system, elongating the rear structure and controlling the bending of the face, the pattern of bending of the face being a substantially bridge-like pattern of bending or a substantially modified bridge-like pattern of bending.

Abstract: The present invention provides various means for the animation of character expression in coordination with an audio sound track. The animator selects or creates characters and expressive characteristic from a menu, and then enters the characteristics, including lip and mouth morphology, in coordination with a running sound track.

Abstract: A method for modifying behavior through a behavioral modification program run on a microprocessor-based computer which provides a user access to the program and generates a modification course associated with the user. During the program, the user participates in an educational module and possibly a communication component, and is associated with at least one modification task. The user provides task feedback, and is evaluated by the program based upon user feedback, for which a reward is provided to the user. The system provides a behavioral modification program, and consists of a microprocessor configured to execute program instructions residing in memory. The program prompts the user to begin, generates a modification course, executes an educational module and possibly a communication component, and associates a modification task with the user, for which task feedback is received. The user is then evaluated on their feedback and issued a reward.

Abstract: A method of indoctrinating an experienced user of a behavioral modification program run on a microprocessor-based computer as a peer for at least one other user of the behavioral modification program, which selects an experienced user to become the peer, associates the peer with the at least one user within the behavioral modification program, and provides the peer with at least one workflow task. The peer is evaluated and rewarded based upon their performance. The system indoctrinates and rewards a peer for their participation in a behavioral modification program, and consists of a microprocessor configured to execute program instructions residing in memory. The program selects a user to become a peer, associates the peer with a user, provides a workflow task, and evaluates and rewards the peer based on their performance.

Abstract: A system and method for packaging consumer products that include a number of individual pieces is provided. A pulp insert tray that includes a number of form fitting receiving locations to receive the individual pieces of the set separates and protects the individual pieces from damage resulting from uncontained packaging. A retainer may be used in association with the insert tray to provide additional support of the individual pieces, and assist in the final assembly of the packaged set. The use of pulp as the insert tray material provides significant ecological benefit.
