  • System and method for memory phase shedding
    Patent number: 7804733
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention supply power to DRAM or other memory devices with a multi-phase voltage regulator. A power controller coupled to the multi-phase voltage regulator causes one or more phases of the multi-phase voltage regulator to be activated or deactivated (shed) according to predetermined criteria. Embodiments of the invention thus improve power management by providing one or more reduced power states for the memory devices. Other embodiments are described.

  • System and method for producing a three-dimensional model
    Patent number: 7702380
    Abstract: A shape of a medical device to be implanted into a subject is verified by acquiring a plurality of inter-fiduciary marker dimensions from the subject. Three-dimensional image data of the markers and a tissue of interest, included in the subject, is obtained. Respective measurements between the fiduciary markers around the subject and in the image data are confirmed. The tissue of interest and the fiduciary markers are identified in the image data. Points of the tissue of interest and the fiduciary markers are rendered as a 3-dimensional surface representation. A 3-dimensional model of the tissue of interest and the fiduciary markers is generated as a function of the surface representation. A shape of the medical device to be implanted into the subject is determined as a function of the 3-dimensional model.

  • DISTRIBUTED SYSTEM OF ELECTRICAL GENERATORS UTILIZING WIND DRIVEN NATURAL MOTION OF TREES
    Publication number: 20090224539
    Abstract: A distributed system of electrical generators utilizing wind driven natural motion of trees comprises a novel energy producing system. The network of the generators, PRGs, derives torque from the back and forth swaying of neighboring trees. Cables, one set of cables for support and the other acting as a spring-tensioned flexible rack that drives the pinion gear of the PRG and also supports the PRG, between the trees are attached to the PRGs and provide the tension required to support and retract the PRG mechanism. Tree saddles attach the PRG cabling to the trees. As the trees sway independently the separations between the trees fluctuate periodically and the PRGs convert these fluctuations into rotational forces that drive the generators.
