The holdover oscillator provides increased accuracy during periods of holdover when the external reference is not available. In a further embodiment, the flywheel oscillator is additionally controlled by a phase-locked loop with the holdover oscillator frequency as input, and a control switch for switching the flywheel oscillator to analog control if the phase-locked loop exhibits a fault. | 03-10-2016 |

20150330287 | ENGINE COOLING FAN CONTROL STRATEGY - An engine cooling fan control strategy includes measuring an engine coolant temperature using a sensor connected to the engine, measuring an engine oil temperature using a sensor connected to the engine, selecting a first value from a maximum engine coolant temperature threshold calibration curve stored in the control system based on the engine oil temperature, selecting a second value from a minimum engine coolant temperature threshold calibration curve stored in the control system based on the engine oil temperature, and placing the engine cooling fan in driven relationship with the engine when the engine coolant temperature exceeds the first value, and placing the engine cooling fan in non-driven relationship with the engine when the engine coolant temperature drops below the second value. | 11-19-2015 |

20140375998 | Atom interferometry having spatially resolved phase - In an atom interferometer, improved results are obtained by configuring the interferometer to have a baseline fringe pattern, in combination with spatially resolved measurements at the interferometer ports. Two aspects of this idea are provided. In the first aspect, the atoms are configured to expand from an initial point-like spatial distribution. The result is an informative correlation between atom position and interferometer phase. In the second aspect, a phase shear is applied to the atom ensemble of an atom interferometer. In both cases, spatially resolved measurements at the interferometer ports can provide enhanced interferometer performance, such as single-shot operation. | 12-25-2014 |

20150129821 | SWING-DOWN JACK WITH LOCKS - The present invention provides a swing down jack for mounting to a vehicle to elevate the vehicle. The jack includes a mounting bracket and a leg. The leg includes an outer tube pivotally connected to the bracket along a first pivot axis, and an inner tube telescopically arranged within the outer tube. The jack further includes an actuator pivotally connected to the bracket along a second pivot axis laterally spaced from the first pivot axis so as to swing the outer tube between a generally horizontal and a generally vertical position and extend and retract the inner tube upon respective extension and retraction of the actuator. A detent lock is connected to the bracket and engageable with the outer tube so as to help fix the jack in the vertical position. | 05-14-2015 |

20130036018 | CUSTOM DESIGNED ARTICLE VENDING MACHINE - A method of providing customized articles can include providing a kiosk. The kiosk can include a housing, a first user interface, an inventory, a printer, a drawer, and a computer, which can communicate with the first user interface, the inventory, the printer, and the drawer. The method further comprises the steps of receiving an order for a customized article, processing the order with the computer, transferring at least one article from the inventory to the printer, printing the user-selected design on the at least one article, and transferring the customized article to the drawer. | 02-07-2013 |

20140335468 | ORTHODONTIC APPLIANCE - An orthodontic appliance has a post attached to a first upper tooth, and a button with a recess attached to a second upper tooth. An elongated arm has an eye at one end through which the post is inserted to allow the elongated arm to rotate about the post, and a tip at the other end for removable insertion into the recess of the button. The length of the elongated arm is selectable to maintain a desired spacing between the first and second upper teeth (e.g., by cutting the tip of the elongated arm). An elastic extends from either the post or button to an attachment point on the patient's lower dental arch to exert a force between the patient's maxilla and mandible. | 11-13-2014 |

20140101065 | Systems and Methods for Providing Business Conduct Training - Systems and methods for providing and tracking periodic business-conduct testing and education. The method can include, upon logging into a system, displaying a question related to business conduct and requiring a user to answer the question prior to accessing applications or other content through the system. The question can be derived from the employer's business conduct code or from other applicable law or generally accepted business conduct practices. Questions can be tailored to particular classes of users, external events, or other factors, and can be presented to a user on a regular or tailored schedule. The method can include tracking question and answer data including overall question effectiveness and user-specific statistics. In some implementations, the system can indicate the correct answer to a question after receiving a response. In another implementation, the system can receive feedback such as ratings or comments from a user after responding to the question. | 04-10-2014 |
