20150227255 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DETERMINING TYPES OF USER INPUT - The embodiments described herein thus provide devices and methods that facilitate improved input devices. Specifically, the devices, systems and methods provide the ability to accurately determine user input using multiple different sensing regimes. The different sensing regimes can be used to facilitate accurate position determination of objects both at the surface and away from the surface. For example, the different sensing regimes can be used to determine position information for both ungloved and gloved fingers. In one embodiment the first sensing regime uses a first duty cycle of absolute capacitive sensing and a first duty cycle of transcapacitive sensing. The second sensing regime uses a second duty cycle of absolute capacitive sensing and a second duty cycle of transcapacitive sensing, where the second duty cycle of absolute capacitive sensing is greater than the first duty cycle of absolute capacitive sensing. | 08-13-2015 |

20150302829 | CAPACITIVE SENSING DURING NON-DISPLAY UPDATE TIMES - Embodiments of the invention generally provide an input device with display screens that periodically update (refresh) the screen by selectively driving common electrodes corresponding to pixels in a display line. In general, the input devices drive each electrode until each display line (and each pixel) of a display frame is updated. In addition to updating the display, the input device may perform capacitive sensing using the display screen as a proximity sensing area. To do this, the input device may interleave periods of capacitive sensing between periods of updating the display based on a display frame. For example, the input device may update the first half of display lines of the display screen, pause display updating, perform capacitive sensing, and finish updating the rest of the display lines. Further still, the input device may use common electrodes for both updating the display and performing capacitive sensing. | 10-22-2015 |

20160077636 | CLASSIFYING INPUT OBJECTS INTERACTING WITH A CAPACITIVE BUTTON - Embodiments of the invention generally provide an input device that includes a zero-dimensional button that detects whether an input object is proximate to a sensing region. However, different input objects may provide similar responses which may prevent the input device from accurately determining whether the user actually intended to activate the button. In one embodiment, the input device drives a capacitive sensing signal onto a sensor electrode in the capacitive button and measures at least two resulting signals. The input device then derives capacitance values based on the two resulting signals and uses a ratio between the capacitance values to classifying the interaction with the input object. This ratio enables the input device to distinguish between events that have similar capacitive responses and would otherwise be indistinguishable if only one resulting signal were measured. | 03-17-2016 |

20140023948 | ENHANCEMENT OF IN SITU RADIATION FOR FACILITATED THERMAL MANAGEMENT OF HIGH TEMPERATURE FUEL CELLS - The various embodiments described herein provide an alternative solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) design that enhances radiation heat transfer. The premise is to facilitate view factor radiation as an additional means of thermal equilibration along and between the high temperature fuel cells, such that the cells become more tolerant to colder inlet oxidant streams or direct internal reformation, as well as have enhanced proximity of temperatures between one another. Previously threatening “cold spots” due to convective cooling and endothermic reformation effects could be minimized or avoided via thermal radiation that ultimately originates from hotter cell locations. Likewise, previously threatening “temperature glides” throughout the direction of cell stacking are mitigated by the cells having more (reflective) thermal radiation between themselves. | 01-23-2014 |

In particular, the minor alleles for both rs16847548 and rs4657139 predicted an increased risk for sudden death in LQTS, while subjects carrying the GG or TG genotype (G is the minor allele) for rs10494366 were at increased risk of sudden death from SIDS. This information permits more attentive monitoring and/or prophylactic treatments of high risk individuals. | 03-31-2011 |

20130275252 | System and Method for Managing a Vacation Property Exchange Network - A system and method is disclosed that provides an exchange marketplace for the use of vacation properties and other assets such as airplanes, yachts, etc. An inventory of items available for purchase or auction, each representing a use of an asset, is maintained. Auction bids or offers to purchase items in the inventory may be made either by offering to pay cash or by offering in trade a new item also representing use of an asset. An equivalent cash value is determined for new items offered in trade, and the transaction allowed to proceed if the determined value of the new item offered equals or exceeds the price of current bid of the item sought. The system thus allows for maximum flexibility in renting and trading the use of vacation properties and other assets. | 10-17-2013 |

The memory management module may be configured to delete, outside a first resolution period, a first portion of the operating parameters while maintaining a second portion of the operating parameters. The second portion may include operating parameters for each of a second interval. The second interval may have a second time length to provide a reduced second resolution of the operation of the IED. | 05-08-2014 |
