20140194912 | ECCENTRIC PASS-THRU CUTTER - A catheter includes an elongate catheter body configured for insertion into a body lumen of a subject. A cutter is located generally at a distal end of the catheter body for rotation generally about a longitudinal axis of the cutter. An eccentric opening in a distal end portion of the cutter defines an angled cutting edge for cutting material from a wall of the body lumen. A center of the opening is offset from the longitudinal axis of the cutter. A cavity extends from the opening through the cutter from the distal end portion to a proximal end portion to allow material cut by the cutter to pass through the cutter into an interior passage of the catheter body for removal from the body lumen. | 07-10-2014 |

20090257874 | Vertical axis windmill with weather vane positioning - Large flat blades are put on the ends of long lever arms to maximize the torque produced at a central vertical shaft. Pivoting each blade on its own axis allows it to be positioned to best advantage as it rotates around the central vertical shaft. The positioning is accomplished by gearing the blade to a central control gear. By simply attaching a weather vane to the central control gear, the direction of the entire windmill is controlled. | 10-15-2009 |

20120084115 | TURF MANAGEMENT - A turf management system includes an irrigation system for providing water to the turf at a turf site, and an irrigation evaluation system for evaluating the performance of the irrigation system. The irrigation evaluation system segments the turf site into irrigation management units, where each of the irrigation management units includes at least one sprinkler head. Qualities of the turf are measured to generate collected data points. The data points are used by the irrigation evaluation system to compute a value for the turf in each of the irrigation management units. The values can then be used to identify irrigation management units having common characteristics. The values can be used to define irrigation management zones for controlling the irrigation system. | 04-05-2012 |
20130055797 | EVALUATION OF GROUND SURFACE HARDNESS - Evaluating ground surface hardness for a site involves using a mobile data collection device to automatically drop an object including an accelerometer onto a ground surface at sample locations spaced at regular intervals within the site. The acceleration of the object is detected with the accelerometer as the object impacts the ground surface at the sample locations. A value is generated representative of ground surface hardness for each of the sample locations. Evaluation using a handheld hardness measurement device is also disclosed. | 03-07-2013 |
20130191073 | Evaluating Sprinkler Head Performance within a Turf Irrigation System - Systems and methods for evaluating individual sprinkler head performance within a turf irrigation system are disclosed. | 07-25-2013 |

20130150680 | Variable Length Portal Access Device - A portal access device has a first member pivotally movable relative to a base. A groove is provided at the first member to be in alignment with a bore at the base, so that a cannula may freely extend through the bore, with a portion of the cannula being frictionally held along the groove of the first member. The first member may be rotatably connected to a second member, so that once the cannula is correctly inserted into a portal, the first member may be pivoted from its vertical position to its horizontal position to bend the cannula into a right angle cannula. The cannula is removed from the portal by pivoting the second member upwardly away from the base. In an alternate portal access device where there is only one arm member, the portal access device may be removed from the portal by being pulled vertically upwards. | 06-13-2013 |
