  • SYSTEM FOR PRESSURIZED DELIVERY OF FLUIDS
    Publication number: 20100219211
    Abstract: A pressurized spray system. The spray system has a flow path through which contents must pass to be dispensed from the system to the atmosphere. By maintaining the proper proportions of restrictions in the flow path to the spray nozzle exit orifice, a relatively constant mean particle size distribution may be obtained throughout the life of the spray system as the pressure decays.

  • FLOW SENSOR APPARATUS AND METHOD WITH MEDIA ISOLATED ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
    Publication number: 20100212434
    Abstract: A flow sensor apparatus that utilizes a pressure sensor with media isolated electrical connections. A cap can be attached to topside of the pressure sensor over a diaphragm to protect bond pads and wire bonds from a fluid media. A flow channel can be etched on the cap with an opening and exit on the sides of the cap so that liquid can flow through the flow channel. An inlet port and an outlet port can be attached to the channel's opening and exit to allow for fluid flow over the diaphragm. The flow channel creates a larger pressure over portions of the diaphragm that increases the deflection of the diaphragm, which increases an output signal of the pressure sensor. V-grooves can be created on two sides of the pressure sensor and in the cap to create the channel for the fluid in and out of the cap's cavity.

  • System and method for loading programs from HDD independent of operating system
    Patent number: 7702894
    Abstract: A method for booting into computer memory a non-operating system (O.S.) program from a hard disk drive (HDD) prior to booting into memory an O.S. from the HDD. The method includes establishing a table of contents (TOC) on the HDD that contains entries for special O.S. programs. A pointer to the TOC is placed in non-volatile memory of the computer that is associated with the HDD, and when BIOS of the computer is prompted to load into memory one of the special O.S. programs, the pointer is accessed and used to locate the TOC, which in turn is accessed to load the special O.S. program.

  • APPARATUS, SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CACHING WRITES BY MULTIPLE CLIENTS TO A VIRTUALIZED COMMON DISK IMAGE
    Publication number: 20100094825
    Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for storage write caching. A storage address translation table is used to overlay a user image and a common image. A storage driver stack module receives a storage access call and generates a storage access request with a requested file path and a requested storage address. A storage mapper module receives the storage access request, accesses the storage address translation table, and looks up a matching entry in the storage address translation table where the requested file path matches a saved file path and the requested storage address matches a saved common storage address, and maps a saved user storage address from the matching entry if a match exists.
