20100264920 | SPIN LOCKED BALANCED STEADY-STATE FREE PRECESSION (SLSSFP) - A spin locked balanced steady-state free precession (slSSFP) pulse sequence combines a balanced gradient echo acquisition with an off-resonance spin lock pulse for fast MRI. The transient and steady-state magnetization trajectory is solved numerically using the Bloch equations and is shown to be similar to balanced steady-state free precession (bSSFP) for a range of T2/T1 and flip angles, although the slSSFP steady-state could be maintained with considerably lower RF power. In both simulations and brain scans performed at 7 T, slSSFP is shown to exhibit similar contrast and SNR efficiency to bSSFP, but with significantly lower power. | 10-21-2010 |

20150054243 | CONVERTIBLE TANDEM AXLE ARRANGEMENT AND METHOD FOR CONVERTING A TANDEM AXLE ARRANGEMENT TO EITHER OF A SINGLE DRIVE OR A DUAL DRIVE TANDEM AXLE ARRANGEMENT - A drive axle system can be converted between a single drive tandem axle arrangement including a rear drive axle a dual drive tandem axle arrangement. A forward bowl is provided for a forward axle system. One of a geared forward carrier and an ungeared forward carrier is mounted on the forward bowl, depending upon whether a dual drive or a single drive tandem axle arrangement is desired. To convert to the other type of tandem axle arrangement, the one of the geared forward carrier and the un geared forward carrier is removed from the forward bowl and replaced, with the other one of the geared forward carrier and the un geared forward carrier. | 02-26-2015 |

20090186327 | Unified Web-Based System For The Delivery, Scoring, And Reporting Of On-Line And Paper-Based Assessments - A hardware and software implemented, standardize testing, scoring and reporting system has a network interface, being either LAN or the Internet. A test is selected from a library, assigned to a group of examinees, and a record is made of the assignment. The test is available on-line, or downloaded, or both. Downloaded tests are saved as PDF files and printed into booklets. Examinees record answers on bubble sheets, which are scanned at the customer site or shipped to a processing plant. Individual scanned answer sheets provided data for individual scanned records. Scanning software performs an initial auto-correct and then performs an initial check for errors in scanned records. Tests are batched for later inspection. Scanned records with errors are classified as invalid and the test papers are separated. Prompts are generated for a human test paper inspection and scanned record editing. Accepted batches of scanned records are sent to a scanned records server where a second scanned records error check is performed. Prompts are sent to the appropriate scanning station for further human editing of invalid scanned records. Once all records are valid they are scored and the test results stored in a database, which is accessed by a reporting subsystem associated with an on-line server. | 07-23-2009 |

20100180585 | HYDRAULIC SYSTEM THERMAL CONTRACTION COMPENSATION APPARATUS AND METHOD - An apparatus for compensating for fluid contraction in a hydraulic powered telescoping boom may include a monitor determining the elevation angle of the telescoping boom, a supply of hydraulic fluid, and a fluid control responsive to the monitor. The fluid control provides the hydraulic fluid from the supply to a hydraulic cylinder controlling extension of the telescoping boom when the elevation angle exceeds a predetermined threshold angle to compensate for thermal contraction of hydraulic fluid and thus prevent uncommanded boom retraction. A method in accordance with the invention is also disclosed. | 07-22-2010 |
20100252644 | SYSTEM FOR SUPPLYING HEAT TO CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT CAB - An apparatus is provided that quickly elevates and maintain a construction equipment engine coolant to operating temperature in order to lower the dwell time for the operator's cab to reach a comfortable temperature level during a period when the engine is in idle and main crane functions are not operated. The apparatus includes an auxiliary hydraulic circuit for rapidly bringing engine coolant temperature up to operating temperature. Engine coolant operating temperature is achieved by inducing a hydraulic load to the engine. By inducing a hydraulic load, a horsepower load is exerted on the engine causing the engine to generate heat sufficient to raise the engine coolant to operating temperature for heating the cabin. A pressure reducing relieving valve and a pilot operated relief valve result in precise hydraulic horsepower load to the construction equipment engine. Operation of the pilot operated relief valve also warms hydraulic fluid for a hydraulic reservoir. | 10-07-2010 |
