Publication number: 20090038220Abstract: A planter insert extends the usefulness of a planter by creating a plurality of containers that fit within a planter. The containers may be supported by a planter platform suitably adapted to fit within the inside of the planter. The planter platform may suitably include an expansion member adapted to stabilize the planter platform. A suitably planter platform may also be modular enabling the planter platform to be disassembled and suitably stacked during storage or shipping.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 1, 2008Publication date: February 12, 2009Inventor: Lawson Guthrie

Patent number: 7450796Abstract: An apparatus and system includes a radiation generation device for generating radiation and a radiation detection device. A first radiation channel is optically-coupled on a first end to the radiation generation device and configured to direct the radiation generated by the radiation generation device to a second end of the first radiation channel. A second radiation channel is optically-coupled on a first end to the radiation detection device and configured to direct radiation from a second end of the second radiation channel to the radiation detection device. An optical switch is configured to selectively interrupt the transmission of radiation from the second end of the first radiation channel to the second end of the second radiation channel.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2005Date of Patent: November 11, 2008Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Edoardo Campini, Steven DeNies, William Handley, Lawson Guthrie

Publication number: 20080141587Abstract: A planter insert extends the usefulness of a planter by creating a plurality of adjoined containers that fit within and conform to the inside shape of a planter, substantially filling its opening. The containers may be of uniform design and therefore portable and swappable, which facilitates modifying the arrangement of plants including those with different soil requirements and growing seasons. The containers may be adjoined using a locking system, a coupling system or any other means. A set of containers may be designed to fit around another object, such as an independent or center container of a different shape and size. Planter inserts provide maximum portability while minimizing wasted space often caused by gaps or support systems.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 22, 2007Publication date: June 19, 2008Inventor: Lawson Guthrie

Patent number: 7336505Abstract: A method according to one embodiment may include providing circuit board having a faceplate. The method of this embodiment may also include providing a label surface capable of moving between a deployed position and a stowed position. When the label surface is in a deployed position at least a portion of the label surface extends outwardly from the faceplate relative to the circuit board. Of course, many alternatives, variations, and modifications are possible without departing from this embodiment.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2005Date of Patent: February 26, 2008Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Edoardo Campini, Steven DeNies, William Handley, Lawson Guthrie

Patent number: 7101188Abstract: High-reliability edge connector adaptor to support high bandwidth signal paths. The edge connector adapter includes an edge connector slot for mating with a card edge connector and a connector edge along which a set or sets of biased contacts are arrayed. The connector edge and biased contacts are configured to mate with a corresponding connector having an edge connector slot normally employed for coupling to a conventional card edge connector. In one embodiment, the edge connector slot in the adapter is configured to mate with the edge connector of an Advance Mezzanine Card (AdvancedMC) card, while the connector edge and biased contacts are configured to mate with an AdvancedMC connector. Upon assembly, the biased contacts are deflected so as to exert a normal force against a mating contact in the AdvancedMC connector. Meanwhile, the contacts of the AdvancedMC card are securely coupled to a mating contact in the edge connector adapter, e.g., using a solder or the like.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2005Date of Patent: September 5, 2006Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Mark D.
