  • Publication number: 20140347865
    Abstract: An LED bulb includes at least one LED mount disposed within a shell. At least one LED is attached to the at least one LED mount. A thermally conductive liquid is held within the shell. The LED and LED mount are immersed in the thermally conductive liquid. A liquid displacer is immersed in the thermally conductive liquid. The liquid displacer is configured to displace a predetermined amount of the thermally conductive liquid to reduce the amount of thermally conductive liquid held within the shell. The liquid displacer is also configured to facilitate a flow of the thermally conductive liquid from the LED mount to an inner surface of the shell.

  • Patent number: 8874412
    Abstract: Data clustering is provided according to a dynamical framework based on quantum mechanical time evolution of states corresponding to data points. To expedite computations, we can approximate the time-dependent Hamiltonian formalism by a truncated calculation within a set of Gaussian wave-functions (coherent states) centered around the original points. This allows for analytic evaluation of the time evolution of all such states, opening up the possibility of exploration of relationships among data-points through observation of varying dynamical-distances among points and convergence of points into clusters. This formalism may be further supplemented by preprocessing, such as dimensional reduction through singular value decomposition and/or feature filtering.

  • Patent number: 8799611
    Abstract: Allocation of pages of memory is managed in computing environments that include multiple sized memory pools. Responsive to a request for a page of memory, one or more memory pools are searched for an available frame of memory to service the request. The search uses a predefined order of search, which includes multiple types of memory pools in a specific order based on the requested size of the page of memory.

  • Patent number: 8793444
    Abstract: Large page memory pools are managed. Thresholds are used to determine if the number of pages in a large page memory pool is to be adjusted. If the number of pages is to be increased, a particular technique is provided for adding additional pages to the pool. Further, if there are too many pages in the pool, one or more pages may be removed.

  • Publication number: 20140093195
    Abstract: A storage bag is provide with features that facilitate unsealing an opening of the bag, including shaped lips and visual cues for areas that the lips that should be grasped during the unsealing process. The visual cue may include relative coloring of portions of the lips of the bag. The storage bag also includes features that facilitate sealing the opening of the bag, including textured areas and dimples. Such features may provide visual cues, tactile feedback and/or audio feedback in order to facilitate the sealing process.
