Filed:

Sep 17, 2004

Appl. No.:

10/943379

Inventors:

David Scott Utley - Redwood City CA, US
Peter Trexler Keith - St. Paul MN, US
Michael Berman - Minnetonka MN, US
Robert Emmett Atkinson - White Bear Lake MN, US

Assignee:

Aetherworks II, Inc. - White Bear Lake MN

International Classification:

A24F 47/00

US Classification:

131270, 455100, 128138, 128777, 128787, 128848, 128859, 433 6, 433 32

Abstract:

An intraoral aversion device to assist a user in quitting an undesirable behavior such as tobacco smoking, tobacco chewing, use of snuff, illicit drug use, excessive alcohol consumption, excessive food consumption, and/or other undesirable activity facilitated via the mouth. The aversion device may be wholly or partially configured to be disposed in the user's mouth, for example. The aversion device may include a detector and a output device, wherein the detector is configured to detect a parameter indicative of the user engaging in the habit or undesirable activity. If (and only if) the detector detects such a parameter, the output device delivers a negative stimulus to the user, thus providing negative feedback and creating an incentive for the user to limit if not eliminate the undesirable activity.

International Classification:

G09B 19/00

US Classification:

434238, 434236

Abstract:

An intraoral behavior monitoring and aversion device to assist a user in quitting an undesirable behavior such as tobacco smoking, tobacco chewing, use of snuff, illicit drug use, excessive alcohol consumption, excessive food consumption, and/or other undesirable activity facilitated via the mouth. The aversion device may be wholly or partially configured to be disposed in the user's mouth, for example. The aversion device may include a detector and a output device, wherein the detector is configured to detect a parameter indicative of the user engaging in the habit or undesirable activity. If (and only if) the detector detects such a parameter, the output device may, optionally, deliver a negative stimulus to the user, thus providing negative feedback and creating an incentive for the user to limit if not eliminate the undesirable activity. The device may be configured to store and/or relay data representing sensed conditions in the mouth.

LSI Corporation - San Jose CA, US
Steven Reder - Boring OR, US
Michael Berman - Tucson AZ, US

Assignee:

LSI CORPORATION - San Jose CA

International Classification:

H01L 35/30

US Classification:

136205

Abstract:

A device and method wherein a thermo electric generator device is disposed between stacks of a multiple level device, or is provided on or under a die of a package and is conductively connected to the package. The thermo electric generator device is configured to generate a voltage by converting heat into electric power. The voltage which is generated by the thermo electric generator can be recycled back into the die itself, or to a higher-level unit in the system, even to a cooling fan.

International Classification:

H04L 29/06
G06F 16/951
G06F 9/455

Abstract:

A computer-implemented method according to one embodiment of the present disclosure includes identifying, by a computer system, an asset associated with a group; detecting a change in an attribute of the asset; and in response to detecting the change in the attribute of the asset, modifying, by the computer system, a configuration setting for a firewall. Among other things, the embodiments of the present disclosure can perform dynamically configure and control security features in response to changes in the computing environment, including asset attribute changes, security events, operational events, user input and environmental changes. Embodiments of the present disclosure thereby help to quickly maintain or change the security posture of a system and maintain the level of compliance with set of predefined security benchmarks or codified best practices.
