The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "Illustrative embodiments provide a computer implemented method, a data processing system, and a computer program product for adjusting cooling settings. The computer implemented method comprises analyzing a set of instructions of an application to determine a number of degrees by which a set of instructions will raise a temperature of at least one processor core. The computer implemented method further calculates a cooling setting for at least one cooling system for the at least one processor core. The computer implemented method adjusts the at least one cooling system based on the cooling setting. The step of analyzing the set of instructions is performed before the set of instructions is executed on the at least one processor core. The step of adjusting the at least one cooling system is performed before the set of instructions is executed on the at least one processor core." The patent application was filed on April 29, 2009 (12/432,611).

The substrate (40) supports a pressure-sensitive device (42) to form a pressure chamber between the substrate (40) and the upper surface. A pressure source (32) is operatively connected to the pressure port to modify a pressure inside the pressure chamber and deflect the pressure-sensitive device (42). A surface profile measurement apparatus (104) is included for measuring a surface profile of the deflected pressure-sensitive device (42)." The patent application was filed on March 20, 2009 (12/933,597).

*** Advanced Power Systems Assigned Patent for Auto-regulated Motion Power System ALEXANDRIA, Va., Nov. 16 -- Advanced Power Systems, Lindon, Utah, has been assigned a patent (8,310,211) developed by Robert Mount, Lindon, Utah, and David Spencer, Orem, Utah, for an "auto-regulated motion power system." The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "An auto-regulated motion power system apparatus that may be used to generate usable electricity from disparate energy sources includes a combination of a variable frequency alternator driven by a primary mover and coupled to a load. An energy control module includes a closed-loop feedback system coupled to a pulse width modulation controller and a switch mode rectifier. The alternator has a modulated control signal input having the ability to vary in frequency and voltage with an output having a controlled voltage and varying frequency. The switch mode rectifier accepts variable AC voltages from the alternator and outputs a constant predetermined DC voltage both to one side of the windings of the alternator and to a first side of a high frequency switch. An output on the pulse width modulation generator is connected to a switch control so that when the switch is closed, current flows through the windings of the alternator and when the switch is open, no current flows through the windings. This modulation of current flow (or lack thereof) regulates the magnetic field strength inside the alternator to produce a stable voltage over a wide range of RPMs." The patent application was filed on Dec. 16, 2010 (12/969,924).

Carlo Okowitz, Orem, Utah, and Joseph B. Emig, Orem, Utah.

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "A transaction process system (10) provides for data transactions between parties. In a credit card transaction, the parties are the merchant (20), acquiring bank (24), card association (34), issuing bank (14), and cardholder (12). A transaction processing center (30) is positioned between the acquiring bank and the card association. The transaction processing center provides data processing channels for message-based processing (72) and filed-based processing (76). The file-based processing uses an incoming queue (80) and outgoing queue (84) to simplify the interface. The transaction processing center also provides for currency conversions and account reconciliation on a per transaction basis. The transaction processing center uses a scheduler (160) to efficiently manage the data processing resources." The patent application was filed on Dec. 8, 2009 (12/633,696).
