| 20100183867 | RADIATION PROTECTION MATERIAL USING GRANULATED VULCANIZED RUBBER, METAL AND BINDER - A radiation shielding material contains ground scrap tire rubber, granulated iron or other metals of moderate cost, and a suitable binder, such as polyurethane or asphalt. The rubber particles can also have a metallic coating. | 07-22-2010 |
| 20090216459 | Ultrasonic System for Grading Meat Tenderness - Meat tenderness is determined by analyzing backscattered ultrasound signals. A signal envelope function computed from the backscattered ultrasound signals is used to derive a number of different parameters, which comprise a unimodal decay factor, a bimodal decay factor, a quiescence time, an event frequency parameter, and an event asymmetry index. Two or more of these factors are combined using a decision algorithm, which can be a neural network, a fuzzy logic classifier, a Bayesian classifier, a regression, an instance-based classifier, a decision tree, or a learned rule. These methods can also be applied to determine characteristics of the physiology of a live organism. | 08-27-2009 |
| 20090173667 | HIGH POWER MICROWAVE PETROLEUM REFINEMENT - Methods, systems, and devices are described for using high-power microwave radiation to process (e.g., refine) recovered oil. In certain embodiments, relatively low-power microwave radiation is propagated into a recovered oil emulsion to process the emulsion into a more useful product. For example, the radiation may be used to refine the oil emulsion into a light crude oil. | 07-09-2009 |
| 20090173488 | HIGH POWER MICROWAVE PETROLEUM RECOVERY - Methods, systems, and devices are described for using high-power microwave radiation to recover oil from an oil shale deposit. Embodiments include a microwave generation system, adapted to generate in situ, high-power microwave radiation. In some embodiments, one or more antennae propagate the microwave radiation into the oil shale deposit. The microwave radiation may heat the oil shale, causing oil to be released. The released oil may then be collected, refined, transported, or otherwise processed. | 07-09-2009 |
