  • Patent number: 8572616
    Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for managing computer jobs with prerequisite jobs in a main frame computing system. A determination module is included that determines a job grouping of jobs for processing by a computer with a mainframe operating system. A grouping module is included to generate generating a job grouping structure associated with the job grouping. The job grouping structure comprises one or more prerequisite jobs and a dependent job that depends on successful completion of each prerequisite job associated with the dependent job. A management module is included to submit the jobs in the job grouping structure to the computer for processing. The jobs are submitted such that each prerequisite job of the dependent job successfully completes prior to submission of the dependent job.

  • Patent number: 8498162
    Abstract: A method, apparatus, and manufacture for a memory device is provided. The memory device includes memory cells that each store two bits, and a memory controller. During write operations, for each bit in each memory cell that is to be programmed, the memory controller determines whether both bits of the memory cell are being programmed. While controlling an application of programming pulses to the memory cell to program the bit, if both bits of the memory cell are being programmed, the memory controller causes the application of each programming pulse to the bit to occur for a reduced duration. Otherwise, the memory controller causes the application of each programming pulse to the bit to occur for a standard duration. The reduced duration is less than three-fourths of the standard duration.

  • Patent number: 8345483
    Abstract: Methods and systems for addressing threshold voltage shifts of memory cells. A method includes reading a pattern of data from a first plurality of memory cells, comparing the read of the pattern of data with a known pattern of data using a reference, and if the read of the pattern of data and the known pattern of data do not match, adjusting the reference to find a reference level that results in a matching of a read of the pattern of data and the known pattern of data. Thereafter, trim sector data is read into a second plurality of memory cells using the adjusted reference level.

  • Publication number: 20110009809
    Abstract: The invention the concerned with an epilation device for plucking hairs out of a user's skin having a vaporizer unit adapted to vaporize an application material. This allows for cooling the skin by applying a thin coating of application material prior to epilation as the vaporizer is arranged so as to apply the vaporized application material before an epilation head with respect to a use direction (B). Soothing the skin by applying a refreshing application material after epilation if the vaporizer is arranged so as to apply the vaporized application material behind the epilation head with respect to a use direction (B) may also be considered. In some embodiments, the application material is cooled by a cooling unit or heated by a heating unit in order to intensify a cooling or warming effect of the application material.

  • Publication number: 20100280528
    Abstract: The present invention is concerned with a skin treatment device that comprises an actuator and at least a skin stimulation element arranged at a mounting structure, the mounting structure being supported at the skin treatment device and the mounting structure being deformable or displaceable against a restoring force when an external force is applied on the skin stimulation element. A contact portion of the mounting structure is arranged to cooperate with the actuator only in a deformed or displaced state of the mounting structure. This renders the device to operate on a low noise level when it is switched on but not pressed against the skin.

  • Publication number: 20100234858
    Abstract: An epilator (100) comprising an epilating unit (1) for plucking and/or pulling hair (51) out of the skin (50) over an epilating width (E). Such an epilator is disadvantageous in that typically not all of the hairs are detected by the epilating unit (1) and some remain in the skin after the epilation. A subsequent epilation would then be required.

  • Patent number: 7707561
    Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for converting data into source code such that the data can be translated and become part of a load module suitable for accessing from a load library. The apparatus includes a parser module, a format module, and an output module. The parsing module analyzes a data file having one or more data lines. The format module automatically formats the data file so that it can be translated by a translator. The formatted data file includes one or more computer language instructions containing the appropriate syntax corresponding to the particular translator. The output module outputs the formatted data file as an output file that can be renamed to preserve the original data file. A verification module allows the formatting of the data file to be verified.
