U.S. Patents Awarded to Inventors in Missouri (June 15)(Targeted News Service Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Targeted News Service Targeted News Service ALEXANDRIA, Va., June 15 -- The following federal patents were awarded to inventors in Missouri. *** Intel Assigned Patent ALEXANDRIA, Va., June 15 -- Intel, Santa Clara, Calif., has been assigned a patent (7,962,785) developed by four co-inventors for a "method and apparatus to maintain data integrity in disk cache memory during and after periods of cache inaccessibility." The co-inventors are Sanjeev N. Trika, Hillsboro, Ore., Michael K. Eschmann, Lees Summit, Mo., Jeanna N. Matthews, Massena, N.Y., and Vasudevan Srinivasan, Hillsboro, Ore. The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "A volatile or nonvolatile cache memory can cache mass storage device read data and write data. The cache memory may become inaccessible, and I/O operations may go directly to the mass storage device, bypassing the cache memory. A log of write operations may be maintained to update the cache memory when it becomes available." The patent application was filed on Nov. 18, 2008 (12/272,906).

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "The ornamental design for a caster assembly, as shown and described." The patent application was filed on March 16, 2010 (D/357,731). 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=D639,638.PN.&OS=PN/D639,638&RS=PN/D639,638 Written by Arpi Sharma; edited by Jaya Anand. *** Hunter Engineering Assigned Patent ALEXANDRIA, Va., June 15 -- Hunter Engineering, Bridgeton, Mo., has been assigned a patent (D639,837) developed by Mark E. Stirnemann, St. Louis, and Michael T. Stieff, Wentzville, Mo., for an ornamental design for a "machine vision vehicle wheel alignment system camera support structure." The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "The ornamental design for a machine vision vehicle wheel alignment system camera support structure, as shown and described." The patent application was filed on Feb. 10, 2011 (D/385,230). 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=D639,837.PN.&OS=PN/D639,837&RS=PN/D639,837 Written by Kusum Sangma; edited by Anand Kumar. *** Missouri Inventor Develops Patent for Hair Styling Implement Holding Apparatus ALEXANDRIA, Va., June 15 -- Mary L. Gilbert, Leadwood, Mo., has been issued a patent (D640,003) for an ornamental design for a "hair styling implement holding apparatus." The patent application was filed on Sept. 17, 2010 (D/375,127). 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=D640,003&OS=D640,003&RS=D640,003 Written by Satyaban Rath; edited by Hemanta Panigrahi. *** Altera Assigned Patent ALEXANDRIA, Va., June 15 -- Altera, San Jose, Calif., has been assigned a patent (7,962,870) developed by eight co-inventors for a "prediction of dynamic current waveform and spectrum in a semiconductor device." The co-inventors are Peter Boyle, Mountain View, Calif., Iliya G. Zamek, San Jose, Calif., Zhe Li, Sunnyvale, Calif., Shishuang Sun, San Jose, Calif., Bozidar Krsnik, Simi Valley, Calif., James L. Drewniak, Rolla, Mo., Xiaohe Chen, Cupertino, Calif., and Sandeep Kamalakar Reddy Chandra, Dearborn, Mich. The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "A method for determining a current spectrum for a circuit design is provided. The method includes determining timing characteristics and power consumption characteristics for the circuit design. From the timing characteristics and the power consumption characteristics a time domain current waveform is constructed. The time domain current waveform is then converted to a frequency domain current waveform. With the frequency domain waveform, one skilled in the art can then identify a location and an amount of decoupling capacitors for a printed circuit board housing the circuit design based on the frequency domain current waveform. A computing system configured to perform the method is also provided." The patent application was filed on May 6, 2008 (12/116,095).
