  • Publication number: 20160023807
    Abstract: The present device is a reusable, machine washable, compact, lightweight pet waste disposal sport pouch designed to conveniently provide hands free transport of used pet waste bags and carry useful supplies while securely attaching to a leash to minimize undesirable motion and thus facilitating extended pet walks and other vigorous activities like jogging and running Embodiments of the device include a collapsible, main pouch to carry used pet waste bags that has a rectangular shape with an open top, two inwardly pleated sides, and transitions to form a ā€œVā€ shape at the bottom, multiple vertical leash attachment options to reduce device motion when attached to a leash, quick release connectors attached to stiffening material at the top of the main pouch which can be rolled down to and secured to leash handles for added stability as well as reduce the device size and potential escaping odors, finger loops near the top front and top back of the device to facilitate opening the device to accept a used pet waste

  • Publication number: 20060136784
    Abstract: User input defines transmission filter rules to be met when sending an error report to a support provider. User input also defines collection filter rules to be met when including failure data within an error report. Error reports corresponding to crash failures at clients are filtered with the transmission filter rules to determine which of the error reports to send to the support provider, and each error report to be sent to the support provider is further filtered to remove any failure data that fails to satisfy the collection filter rules. Each error report that satisfies the transmission filter rules, along with the failure data satisfying the collection filter rules, is sent to the support provider for analysis. Standard and or custom failure responses corresponding to the failures at the clients may be retrieved and sent to the clients in accordance with the collection filter rules.

  • Patent number: 6373906
    Abstract: Apparatus is provided for implementing high-speed and area efficient architectures for Viterbi detection of generalized partial response signals including two-way add/compare/select for improved channel speed. The two-way add/compare/select includes a two-way compare for comparing first and second state metric input values and a pair of two-way adds in parallel with the two-way compare for respectively adding the first and second state metric input values with a second input value. The second input value includes a time varying term or a constant term. The time varying terms are expressed as outputs Zn of a partial matched filter or as outputs Wn of a matched filter. A multiplexer is coupled to the pair of two-way adds, the multiplexer receiving a selectable input controlled by the two-way compare. A pair of shifts coupled between the pair of two-way adds and the multiplexer receive a shift control input for providing metric bounding to avoid underflow.
