If the fast-post queue contains the receive request, the polling thread removes the receive request from the fast-post queue. If the receive request that was removed from the fast-post queue does not match the receive request on the unexpected queue, the polling thread adds the receive request that was removed from the fast-post queue to the posted queue. The reception thread and the polling thread execute asynchronously from each other."

New York Inventor Develops Patent for Field Image Tomography for Magnetic Resonance Imaging
ALEXANDRIA, Va., Feb. 26 -- Muralidhara Subbarao, Stony Brook, N.Y., has developed a patent (8,378,682) for a "field image tomography for magnetic resonance imaging."
The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "Field Image Tomography (FIT) is a fundamental new theory for determining the three-dimensional (3D) spatial density distribution of field emitting sources. The field can be the intensity of any type of field including (i) Radio Frequency (RF) waves in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), (ii) Gamma radiation in SPECT/PET, and (iii) gravitational field of earth, moon, etc. FIT exploits the property that field intensity decreases with increasing radial distance from the field source and the field intensity distribution measured in an extended 3D volume space can be used to determine the 3D spatial density distribution of the emitting source elements. A method and apparatus are disclosed for MRI of target objects based on FIT. Spinning atomic nuclei of a target object in a magnetic field are excited by beaming a suitable Radio Frequency (RF) pulse. These excited nuclei emit RF radiation while returning to their normal state. The intensity or amplitude distribution of the RF emission field g is measured in a 3D volume space that may extend substantially along the radial direction around the emission source. g is related to the 3D tomography f through a system matrix H that depends on the MRI apparatus, and noise n through the vector equation g=Hf+n. This equation is solved to obtain the tomographic image f of the target object by a method that reduces the effect of noise."

New York Inventor Develops Patent for Method for Efficient and Precise Transfer of Liquids
ALEXANDRIA, Va., Feb. 26 -- Thomas Friedlander, Rye Brook, N.Y., has developed a patent (8,377,716) for a "method for efficient and precise transfer of liquids."
The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "A method for aspirating and/or dispensing liquids. The method includes preselecting a volume of liquid to be aspirated and/or dispensed; aspirating and/or dispensing the liquid through an actuator by extruding tubing in a spool included in a cartridge inside of a housing and aligning the extruded tubing with a fixed tip protruding partially out of the housing such that liquid can be aspirated and/or dispensed by a pump included in the actuator."
The patent application was filed on June 19, 2012 (13/527,374). The full-text of the patent can be found at http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser Sect1=PTO1&Sect2=HITOFF&d=PALL&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsrchnum.htm&r=1&f=G&l=50&s1=8,377,716.PN.&OS=PN/8,377,716&RS=PN/8,377,716

Toshiba Assigned Patent for Semiconductor Device and Manufacturing Method
ALEXANDRIA, Va., Feb. 26 -- Toshiba, Tokyo, has been assigned a patent (8,377,822) developed by Kazumichi Tsumura, Guilderland, N.Y., and Takamasa Usui, Selkirk, N.Y., for a "semiconductor device and manufacturing method thereof."
The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "A semiconductor structure having a cap layer formed over a metalized dielectric layer is formed by depositing manganese on the surface of the metalized dielectric layer. The deposited manganese serves as a first cap layer to remove oxidation on the surface of the metalized dielectric layer. The presence of oxidation on the surface of the metalized dielectric layer can be delirious for performance of a device constructed out of the semiconductor structure. A second cap layer is then formed by depositing silicon carbide or nitrogen enriched silicon carbide over the first cap layer."
The patent application was filed on May 21, 2010 (12/784,868). The full-text of the patent can be found at http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser Sect1=PTO1&Sect2=HITOFF&d=PALL&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsrchnum.htm&r=1&f=G&l=50&s1=8,377,822.PN.&OS=PN/8,377,822&RS=PN/8,377,822

New York Inventor Develops Patent for Chord Teaching Apparatus
ALEXANDRIA, Va., Feb. 26 -- Andrew Jay Willoughby, Rochester, N.Y., has developed a patent (8,378,195) for a chord teaching apparatus.
The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "The invention provides a musical indicating device for finding the 12 most common chord types and their inversions on string and fretted musical instruments. It can be generally formed as a thin sheet-like base member with a front featuring 12 different transparent chord dials that are each pivotally attached to the base member over a color-coded, pie-shaped diagram of the Willoughby Scale/Chromatic Scale. On the back is a transparent Diatonic Octave Dial pivotally attached to the base member over a color-coded diagram of the Chromatic Scale/Willoughby Scale with the Key Signatures surrounding the diagram. The octave dial has selectively aligned indicia that represent the notes of the major form of the diatonic scale."
The patent application was filed on April 18, 2011 (13/088,536). The full-text of the patent can be found at http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser Sect1=PTO1&Sect2=HITOFF&d=PALL&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsrchnum.htm&r=1&f=G&l=50&s1=8,378,195.PN.&OS=PN/8,378,195&RS=PN/8,378,195
