20100242035 | System and Method for Passive Detection and Context Sensitive Notification of Upgrade Availability for Computer Information - Systems and methods are disclosed that monitor upgrade availability for computer information on a user's computer and allows the user to determine which of the available upgrades will be downloaded to the user's computer and installed. The upgrade availability for computer information on the user's computer is monitored in the background, without user-intervention when the user connects to a network, such as the Internet. If any such upgrades are available, a flag is set to notify the user of such upgrades. The user is notified of any available upgrades when computer information is accessed for which an upgrade is available, and given a choice of whether or not to download the available upgrade(s). The downloaded upgrade(s) may then be installed by an installation means. In this manner, the present invention allows for the user to download only those upgrades desired by the user. | 09-23-2010 |
20100269035 | Method for Dynamically Generating a "Table of Contents" View of the HTML-Based Information System - Methods and systems are disclosed for displaying information topics that are available via an online help system. The methods and systems store information for given topics in a respective folder associated with a given topic, detect the selection of one of the folders associated with a topic of interest, search files at a hierarchical level in the selected folder to identify files of a predetermined type, locate HTML metatags that pertain to the display of help information, merge data associated with the HTML metatags into a HTML template file to generate an HTML file containing data associated with each of the located HTML metatags, and provide a table of contents for the topic of interest associated with the selected folder using the generated HTML file. | 10-21-2010 |

20130152070 | HTML Directed Adaptive Features for Mobile Applications - There is provided a method for HTML directed adaptive features for mobile applications. By presenting user interface portions of the application as HTML documents referenced from a manifest file, the manifest file may be updated from a remote server without directly modifying a native binary of the application. By registering URL handlers for application functions in the native binary of the application, and by modifying a local file manifest stored on a mobile device, the scope of application functionality can be updated by adding, removing, or modifying URLs. The manifest files may further be adapted using specific contexts, such as device hardware, location, user profile data, and other information. Advantageously, application update approval processes through application marketplaces may be bypassed since the native binary is kept intact, allowing for more timely and relevant updates. | 06-13-2013 |

20110149268 | DYNAMIC 3D WIND MAPPING SYSTEM AND METHOD - Systems for obtaining data regarding a volume of atmosphere can include a lidar transceiver. Some systems include scanning devices that are capable of directing laser beams produced by the lidar transceiver in a pattern that sweeps through the volume of atmosphere. Information regarding light that is backscattered from the laser beams can be used to construct a three-dimensional data set. In some methods, wind-field information can be extracted from the three-dimensional data set. | 06-23-2011 |

20090183923 | Top drive drilling system and other applications using a low speed direct drive AC motor - A low speed alternating current motor having motor shaft speeds of about 300 is provided, and such motor has application in numerous industries and devices, such as, for example, in top drive drilling systems. Because of the low shaft speed, mechanical speed reduction equipment may not be necessary. In addition, the motor shaft may be hollow to facilitate the flow of fluid, such as, for example, drilling mud. | 07-23-2009 |

20120076253 | Scalable high efficiency nuclear fusion energy source - This invention combines minor, but not obvious, adaptations of available and, for this field, relatively simple hardware that primarily uses the least power-hungry electrostatic (rather than mainly magnetic) control of accelerated colliding beams of bare deuterium nuclei in three-dimensionally pre-determined collision attitudes that are now found by new research to offer a method (with required apparatus) of fusing directly to helium four with high efficiency release of the greatest possible single-step free energy of fusion in kinetic energy of helium four charged nuclei and with minimized side-effects (if any) of wasted energy and troublesome output products in neutrons, radiation, helium three or tritium nuclei, and plasma electrons. This invention can be combined with the most efficient prior art in deuterium ion sources, continued fusion processes, output power conversion, and full reactor assembly at any scale from laboratory experiments to industrial power networks. | 03-29-2012 |

20130032741 | SUPPRESSANT ACTUATOR - An exemplary suppressant actuator assembly includes a release member movable from a first position that restricts flow of a suppressant to a second position that permits flow of a suppressant. A biasing member moves from a more-biased position to a less-biased position to move the release member from the first position to the second position. A solenoid is activated to permit movement of the biasing member. | 02-07-2013 |
