Abstract: An approach is provided for determining a program clock reference (PCR) value validity, for avoiding inaccurate variable delay reference (VDR) values, and for avoiding a mismatch in a data packet between a sequence number and a packet number for a wireless display extension. The approach involves determining to generate a data packet carrier having an optional PCR value, a VDR) value, and a validity indicator. The approach may further involve processing the data packet carrier to determine whether the data packet carrier has the optional PCR value. The approach may also involve causing, at least in part, a surrogate PCR value to be generated based, at least in part, on a determined absence of the optional PCR value from the data packet carrier.

Abstract: A system and method for dispensing sprayable material such as paint and other liquefied products. The system includes a dispenser such as a marking stick or other commercially available dispenser. The dispenser is configured to accept a container housed inside a cartridge and filled with sprayable material. The sprayable material is sprayed through a valve and spray tip at one end of the cartridge. An electrically powered motor assembly is removably coupled to the cartridge. The motor is used to power a pump that is incorporated in the cartridge to draw the sprayable material from the container. The material is pumped from the container and delivered through a tube to a spray head. The pressure generated by the pump inside the container and the tube are sufficient to spray the product through the valve and spray tip when valve is opened.

Abstract: A synchronized speed bump illumination system and method is provided that includes powered LEDs that may be seen by individuals at night and in low light conditions, or during the day to increase visibility and direct a driver's attention to the speed bump. The speed bump system comprises sections each with a housing having a flat bottom surface and an elevated top surface to form the bump. A plurality of LEDs provides illumination to light windows embedded in the top surface of the sections. A wireless remote control is used to simultaneously transmit signals to an independent circuit in each section so that the groupings of LEDs in each section provide a predefined illumination pattern among the sections.

Abstract: An adjustable, disposable dermal curette is structured to allow a user-practitioner to ergonomically grip a handle and manipulate an adjustable slider with a digit of their hand in order to change the diameter size of the flexible blade formed in an adjustable loop to the useful range of diameter sizes required. The user-practitioner can lock and unlock the slider in place quickly without the need to interrupt their procedure. The adjustable curette solves the problem of requiring multiple curette loop sizes for a procedure and results in improved quality of care and a savings of time and healthcare dollars.

Abstract: A stackable LED flare and system for use at night, in low light conditions or during the day where a lighted flare provides greater visibility. The flare comprises a multi-sided housing with a panel on each side and having a top and a base. It has a plurality of LEDs aligned in windows positioned in at least one of the panels. The flare includes a re-chargeable battery encased in the housing for powering the flare and a circuit for delivering power and operational control from the battery to the LEDs upon activation by a switch. A set of contacts positioned on the outside of the housing deliver a charge to the battery. The contacts are configured to allow multiple flares to be stacked and charged simultaneously. The system also includes a charging station that accommodates a stack of two or more flares during the charging operation.

Abstract: A data packet or payload defined by a first format, is generated and is wrapped with headers as defined by a second format, and is processed through a pass through mechanism for transmission based on the second format. The processing includes adding or encapsulating the payload in the transmission data packet. When receiving the transmitted data packet, the headers may be parsed, and the payload processed.

Abstract: An incremental portable power station system for providing power when no permanent power source is available. The system includes a set of removable, rechargeable batteries that are easily installed and removed. The system is configured to provide incremental power in stages, such as for example in 500 watt increments from 500 watts to 1,000 watts to 1,500 watts, etc. with one, two, three or more batteries installed. Power is provided to one or more outlets that may be standard 120 volt AC outlets, standard 12 volt car outlets, standard 5 volt USB outlets or any other outlet types. A charging station is also included for charging the batteries.

Abstract: Machine-readable media, methods, and apparatus are described to issue message signaled interrupts. In some disclosed embodiments, a device generates message signaled interrupts in a manner that enables a device driver written with level-sensitive semantics to properly service the device despite the edge-triggered characteristics message signaled interrupts.

Abstract: A vehicle includes a deck, an aft running gear attached to the deck, a steering assembly, a flexible joint attaching the steering assembly to the deck, such that the steering assembly is pivotable about the flexible joint with respect to the deck between a rider-standing mode and a rider-sitting mode, and a brake assembly attached to the deck.

Abstract: Described within is a power management system for a computing platform that provides additional reductions in power consumption from that provided by only periodically putting the CPU or peripheral devices in low power non-operational states. In particular, the embodiment prevents the OS from generating an interrupt due to timer ticks while in a non-C0 state, until such time as a number of timer ticks have been gathered.
