Arizona Inventors Develop Patent for Air Clamp
ALEXANDRIA, Va., Feb. 14 -- Santiago Rodriguez, Casa Grande, Ariz., and Errol Gendreau, Eloy, Ariz., have developed a patent (8,109,314) for an air clamp.
The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "A portable air clamp for use during lamination of substrates is provided. The clamp includes a top clamp plate, a bottom clamp plate and at least one flexible, expandable tube within a housing of the clamp. The top clamp plate is adjacent to a top housing and the bottom clamp plate is adjacent to a bottom housing. An expandable tube or bladder may be disposed in the top housing or the bottom housing. The clamp may also include alignment devices and mechanisms for ensuring proper alignment of the substrates during the laminating procedure. The clamp is adapted to provide uniform pressure along the surfaces of the substrates to be laminated."
The patent application was filed on June 9, 2008 (12/135,931). The full-text of the patent can be found at http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-bool.html&r=1&f=G&l=50&co1=AND&d=PTXT&s1=8,109,314.PN.&OS=PN/8,109,314&RS=PN/8,109,314

Marvell International Assigned Patent for System and Application Debugging
ALEXANDRIA, Va., Feb. 14 -- Marvell International, Hamilton, Bermuda, has been assigned a patent (8,112,683) developed by Robert Wiesner, Chandler, Ariz., and Guido Kehrle, Chandler, Ariz., for a "system and application debugging."
The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "Systems, apparatuses, and methods for system and application debugging are described herein. A tested platform may include a debug event monitor in a boundary scan interface that detects a debug event in a process and determines a characteristic associated with the debug event. The debug event monitor may trigger an application debug event or a boundary scan debug event based at least in part on the determined characteristic. Other embodiments may be described and claimed."
The patent application was filed on Feb. 4, 2008 (12/025,600). The full-text of the patent can be found at http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-bool.html&r=1&f=G&l=50&co1=AND&d=PTXT&s1=8,112,683&OS=8,112,683&RS=8,112,683

Marvell International Assigned Patent
ALEXANDRIA, Va., Feb. 14 -- Marvell International, Hamilton, Bermuda, has been assigned a patent (8,112,643) developed by Dennis M. O'Connor, Chandler, Ariz., Michael W. Morrow, Chandler, Ariz., and Lawrence T. Clark, Albuequerque, N.M., for "methods and apparatus to selectively power functional units."
The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "A processing engine fetches one or more lines of software instructions into an instruction cache. Based on the contents of the cache, potentially needed functional units are identified as functional units that are operable to execute at least one software instruction stored within the instruction cache. Unneeded functional units are identified as functional units that are not operable to execute a software instruction stored within the instruction cache. A power increase is initiated for selected ones of the potentially needed functional units that are determined to be in a low power state. A power decrease is initiated for selected ones of the unneeded functional units that are determined to be in an operable power state."
The patent application was filed on Sept. 22, 2008 (12/232,646). The full-text of the patent can be found at http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-bool.html&r=1&f=G&l=50&co1=AND&d=PTXT&s1=8,112,643&OS=8,112,643&RS=8,112,643

Arizona Inventor Develops Patent for Crankdisk Bearing Alternatives for the Waissi Type Opposed Piston Internal Combustion Engine
ALEXANDRIA, Va., Feb. 14 -- Gary Ray Robert Waissi, Phoenix, has developed a patent (8,109,244) for a "crankdisk bearing alternatives for the Waissi type opposed piston internal combustion engine."
The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "An improvement to the Waissi type opposed piston internal combustion engine is proposed. The engine has at least one pair of aligned and opposed cylinders with one reciprocating double-headed piston assembly in each cylinder pair. The reciprocating motion of the piston is transmitted to the driveshaft by a rotating crankdisk, which is rigidly and off-centered mounted to the driveshaft. The high friction metal to metal contact between the crankdisk and the piston contact wall is replaced by a combination of a roll resistance and friction under hydrodynamic conditions resulting to a significantly reduced total resistance between the piston and the crankdisk. This is accomplished by utilizing a bearing ring assembly slidably installed on the annular perimeter surface of the crankdisk. When the crankdisk rotates the bearing ring is held in place by U-profile flanges, which are either part of the bearing ring or part of the crankdisk. Alternatively, the bearing ring is replaced by a roller bearing or ball bearing."
The patent application was filed on April 7, 2011 (13/081,968). The full-text of the patent can be found at http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-bool.html&r=1&f=G&l=50&co1=AND&d=PTXT&s1=8,109,244.PN.&OS=PN/8,109,244&RS=PN/8,109,244

Arizona Inventor Develops Patent for Method and Apparatus for a Mobile Training Device for Simultaneous Use by Multiple Users
ALEXANDRIA, Va., Feb. 14 -- Scott R. Cooper, Peoria, Ariz., has developed a patent (8,109,862) for a "method and apparatus for a mobile training device for simultaneous use by multiple users."
The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "A method and apparatus for a physical training device is provided to accommodate one or more athletes during support of a plurality of independent training scenarios for each athlete. The physical training device provides a plurality of training stations, where each training station may be specific to martial arts training activities, or may be generalized to facilitate training that is effective for a plurality of other sporting disciplines. The physical training device provides removable casters that facilitate maneuvering and reconfiguration of the physical training device. Lifting devices may also be configured along the bottom surface of the physical training device so as to provide a mechanism whereby the casters of the physical training device may be lifted off of the surface that is supporting the casters. Two or more physical training devices may be interconnected so as to provide a localized cluster of physical training devices."
The patent application was filed on Sept. 3, 2010 (12/807,382). The full-text of the patent can be found at http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-bool.html&r=1&f=G&l=50&co1=AND&d=PTXT&s1=8,109,862&OS=8,109,862&RS=8,109,862
