20140034559 | SYSTEM FOR MONITORING AND CONTROLLING A PROCESS FOR TREATMENT OF A TREATABLE FLUID - The present invention relates to a means of monitoring and controlling a process step, or steps for a treatable fluid being processed, whereby a sampled volume of the treated fluid is delivered to a vessel, within which the sampled treated fluid emulates the expected reaction or reactions of the treatable fluid being processed within the process step. The sampled volume of the treated fluid is detained, monitored, recorded and analyzed by the present invention. The resulting data is translated into commands that are conveyed to process control devices which control the processing of the treatable fluid. Sampling and analyzing of the treatable fluid is automatically repeated on a cyclical basis. | 02-06-2014 |

20080222531 | CONVERSATION TRACKING AND NOTIFICATION - A facility for tracking actions performed by users on content. The facility monitors items of content that are being tracked for a user, and detects actions performed by other users pertaining to the tracked content. Actions may be any activity performed by a user with respect to an item of content, such as replying to content, rating an item of content, or editing content. The facility collects tracking statistics and provides the tracking statistics for on-site presentation to users. Users thereby stay engaged in conversations around content because they can quickly determine whether additions have been made to the conversation since they last participated. The users may use the tracking statistics to directly navigate to new content. The facility may allow a user to characterize a relationship with one more other individuals and track actions performed by the characterized individuals. | 09-11-2008 |
20110202844 | IDENTIFICATION OF VIDEO SEGMENTS - Video content, such as broadcast television, may be divided into segments, and each segment may be assigned a distinguishing Uniform Resource Locator (URL). The URL assigned to a segment allows a user to access the segment via the Internet. For example, a television news program may be broken into segments (e.g., each interview on the program might constitute a segment). For each segment, a code may be assigned, and may be appended to the broadcaster's domain name to create a distinct URL for the segment. While the segment is being broadcast, the URL may be displayed with the segment, thereby allowing a viewer to identify the segment and to locate an Internet version of the segment. Entering the URL into a browser may access an Internet version of the broadcast segment to which the URL pertains. | 08-18-2011 |

20090159377 | Magnetic, Launch Lock Apparatus and Method - An apparatus for securing movable elements of a multiple-axis drive mechanism with respect to the fixed base thereof during launch to prevent damage while unpowered. Mating surfaces of the lock secure the mechanism about all three axes of motion. Thus, the drives need to be only sufficiently designed to break free one element of the launch lock from the other element. Tapered or other guiding surfaces of the two elements of the launch lock make it self-aligning, such that mating surfaces are guided together once placed in sufficiently close proximity. | 06-25-2009 |

20100014101 | Optics Positioning Sensor System - A method and apparatus for determining the longitudinal position of a tapered displaceable element positioned between two substantially orthogonally laterally opposing displacement sensors. A change in the longitudinal position of the displaceable element causes the sensors to each measure their distance to the displaceable element which relates directly to the local thickness and thus the longitudinal position of the displaceable element. The system factors out errors in measured lateral proximity position of the displaceable element since an erroneous proximity to one sensor is equal and opposite to an erroneous proximity to the other. | 01-21-2010 |
