Appl. No.:

10/953975

Inventors:

Jan Lodewijk Bonebakker - Livermore CA, US
Paul A. Riethmuller - Annerley, AU
Robert M. Lane - Dixon CA, US

Assignee:

Oracle America, Inc. - Redwood Shores CA

International Classification:

G06F 9/44

US Classification:

717128

Abstract:

A method for measuring system performance involves binding a sampling thread to a central processing unit (CPU), starting a soaker thread and binding the soaker thread to the CPU, assigning the soaker thread a lowest priority and scheduling class, placing the soaker thread in a scheduling mechanism based on the lowest priority and scheduling class, and suspending the soaker thread. If a hardware counter is kernel-only, then the following steps are performed: initializing the hardware counters, resuming the soaker thread, and executing the soaker thread if there is no scheduler item of equal or higher priority, where the scheduler item is within the scheduling mechanism.

International Classification:

A61F 2/66

US Classification:

623 49

Abstract:

A prosthetic foot assembly is disclosed. The assembly includes a pivoting ankle joint with a hydraulic system, a prosthetic foot connected to the distal side of the ankle joint, and, at the proximal side, the ankle joint includes a transducer with pyramid adaptor for attaching to a pylon. The ankle joint sensor provides data collection during the stance and optionally, the swing, phases of walking using, for example, strain gages and accelerometers. Also disclosed are methods for real-time feature extraction. Key parameters are captured to which are applied linear, fuzzy logic, neural net, or generic algorithms to determine current state (walking flat, uphill, downhill etc.) in real time and execute changes to the angle between the ankle and foot almost instantaneously based on those parameters.

International Classification:

H01R 13/70
H01R 33/20

US Classification:

43962021, 439675

Abstract:

Consolidated power tips allow a power adaptor to be connected to disparately sized input ports of electronic devices. The consolidated power tips may be sized to balance insertion and pull-out forces for the disparately sized input ports. Deformable members may be added to the consolidated power tips for more desirable insertion and pull-out forces and improved electrical contact. For input ports with different electrical requirements, a mode selector may be added to the consolidated power tip to select between the electrical requirements of the different input ports.

A47G 21/04

Abstract:

A combination spoon and fork system capable of being stored in a nested configuration or used as a combination eating utensil with the spoon and fork connected end to end. An interlocking mechanism can interlock the spoon and fork in either the nested position or in the end to end configuration. The interlocking system allows the handle of the spoon to slide between rails on the handle of the fork and to snap and lock the spoon in place either nested with the fork or end to end with the fork to form an elongated combination eating utensil. The spoon and fork of the system can also be used separately from one another.

International Classification:

A61M 1/00
A61F 13/02
A61M 39/06

Abstract:

A dressing for treating a tissue site with negative pressure including a tissue interface, a cover, a chamber wall, and a base. The cover may be adapted to be sealed to epidermis proximate the tissue site. The chamber wall may define a pump chamber, wherein the pump chamber may be adapted to be fluidly coupled to the tissue interface. The base may extend from the chamber wall, wherein the base may be fluidly sealed to the cover. The dressing may include an intake valve and an exhaust valve fluidly coupled to the pump chamber. The pump chamber may be compressed to evacuate fluid from the pump chamber through the exhaust valve. The pump chamber may then be expanded to draw′ fluid through the intake valve from the tissue interface. This supplies a negative pressure to the tissue interface which may be adapted to distribute negative pressure across the tissue site.

Abstract:

An eating utensil having a fork head that includes a plurality of tines and a concave fork bowl portion is described. One or both of the outer tines include a chamfered or tapered surface that extends laterally inward from a curved outer edge of the corresponding outer tine such that the curved tine/fork head edge acts as a splitting feature. In some embodiments one or both of the curved fork head edges that act as a splitting feature is/are smooth. In some embodiments, the eating utensil is formed of a glass reinforced thermoplastic material such as a glass filled nylon.
