  • Patent number: 9597533
    Abstract: A fire suppression system according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes, among other things, a high pressure inert gas source configured to provide a first inert gas output and a low pressure inert gas source configured to provide a second inert gas output. A distribution network is connected with the high pressure inert gas source and the low pressure inert gas source to distribute the first inert gas output and the second inert gas output throughout a confined space. A volume reduction system is positioned within the confined space and includes a seal member. The seal member is selectively deployable between a first position and a second position to isolate a first volume of the confined space from a second volume of the confined space and reduce an amount of the first inert gas output and the second inert gas output required to respond to a fire threat within the confined space.

  • Patent number: 9599634
    Abstract: Inertial measurement units attached to a non-rigid body may measure a common motion event when the body changes direction of travel. Acceleration measurements made by the inertial measurement units of the event are used to determine a common reference direction which in turn can be used to derive, individually for each inertial measurement unit, a new orientation intended to be a better representation of the actual orientation of the inertial measurement unit.

  • Patent number: 9600672
    Abstract: Techniques are described for dynamically enabling or disabling portions of an executing software module based on control data. During compilation of source code for a software module, switching instructions may be generated to enable the conditional bypassing of executable instructions for one or more functions described in the source code. In some cases, the switching instructions may be generated for the public functions of a software module. During execution of the software module, the switching instructions may trap a call to a function and dynamically determine whether to execute the function based on the value of control data corresponding to the function. A user interface may be presented to enable an operator to set the control data to enable or disable the execution of one or more functions.

  • Patent number: 9602288
    Abstract: A system records use of values used in cryptographic algorithms where the values are subject to uniqueness constraints. As new values are received, the system checks whether violations of a unique constraint has occurred. If a violation occurs, the system performs actions to mitigate potential compromise caused by exploitation of a vulnerability caused by violation of the uniqueness constraint.

  • Patent number: 9600640
    Abstract: This system provides wired and/or wireless access throughout a multimedia network built on a distributed architecture which can be transparent to the user. This multimedia network includes content which is imported or generated within the network. The system allows for the content provider to determine the license status of content and update the license status of content which was previously provided by that provider. The external content can be accessed in real time or downloaded and stored within the system for later access at the convenience of the user. The usage of some content is controlled by the use of encryption and other protection methods. The system allows for storage of live video by storing the digitized video and allowing the user to control how, when and where the content is viewed. The system makes available multiple multimedia services to all users in the network or connected via the internet.

  • Patent number: 9600741
    Abstract: A plurality of instances of image data can be analyzed, and favored aspects of each instance identified and utilized in generating an enhanced output image. For example, a plurality of instances of image data can be analyzed to identify metric values associated with each pixel location, such as contrast, saturation, and exposedness. A weight map corresponding to each metric is generated for each instance of image data, each weight map indicating a value for the metric at each pixel location of the instance of image data. The weight maps associated with each instance of image data are merged, and a Gaussian pyramid of the merged weight map for each instance of image data is determined along with a Laplacian pyramid for each instance of image data. The Gaussian pyramids and Laplacian pyramids are merged into a Laplacian pyramid, which is then collapsed to form an enhanced output image.

  • Patent number: 9597160
    Abstract: Periodontal disorders such as disorders associated with a dental implant are treated. An average power for a laser is selected via a user interface on a tablet, along with a set of permissible laser parameters provided in response to the selected average power. A gingival trough or flap is created around the implant with the laser. Infected tissue is selectively ablated or denatured via photothermolysis, and a pocket is lased around the affected implant. Marginal tissues are compressed against the implant.

  • Publication number: 20170075629
    Abstract: A storage device utilizing read look ahead (RLA) may utilize auxiliary or spare latches as a RLA cache for storing pre-fetch data. The RLA may predict the next commands and do a speculative read to the flash using the latches for RLA storage. The auxiliary/spare latches may be present on a plane or die of non-volatile memory and may be different from the transfer data latch (XDL) that transfers data from the memory and the host. When the XDL is backed up, sense commands may still be performed and the data is stored in the auxiliary latches before being transferred with the XDL.

  • Publication number: 20170071332
    Abstract: Height adjustable desks with a keyboard tray system that is irradiated by an ultraviolet light disinfectant unit. The ultraviolet light unit resides parallel to and above the keyboard tray while being rigidly affixed to the underside of the desktop. The ultraviolet light unit also has the ability to irradiate the keyboard tray top when it is extended for typing and/or when it is retracted under the desktop for storage. And the ultraviolet light unit may be manually activated using a power switch located, for example, with the telescopic desk legs user control panel. And/or the ultraviolet light unit may be automatedly controlled, such as by being connected to a motion sensor to detect when a user is within close proximity to the keyboard, and thus turn off the UV light; and/or via a timer mechanism that activates the UV light unit for a regularly scheduled eradiation session.

  • Publication number: 20170074948
    Abstract: A chopping technique, and associated structure, is implemented to cancel the magnetic 1/f noise contribution in a Tunneling Magnetoresistance (TMR) field sensor. The TMR field sensor comprises a first bridge circuit including multiple TMR elements to sense a magnetic field and a second circuit to apply a bipolar current pulse adjacent to each TMR element. The current lines are serially or sequentially connected to a current source to receive the bipolar current pulse. The field sensor has an output comprising a high output and a low output in response to the bipolar pulse. This asymmetric response allows a chopping technique for 1/f noise reduction in the field sensor.

  • Publication number: 20170075572
    Abstract: A storage device with a memory may implement software queueing that can supplement hardware accelerated queueing mechanisms. A software queue supplementing a hardware queue can extend the size and allow pending operations to proceed even if the hardware queue is saturated. The use of software-based queues may extend processing capacity in a hardware-accelerated front-end storage device architecture. The software queue may process excess commands that cannot be handled by a hardware queue with a limited depth.
