20130092305 | Tire Blocks - Tire blocks are described. The techniques described herein may enable multiple blocks of foam to substantially fill an inside of a tire. Each of the blocks used to fill a tire may have a wedge shape and a rigidity that is sufficient to operate the tire without air pressure. The wedge shape of each of the tire blocks has sides that may be positioned at least partially against sidewalls of the tire and sides that may be be positioned against other blocks of foam. The tire can then be inflated to the desired air pressure for operation. Because of the density of the foam and the wedge shape design, a failed tire can still be used for normal operation. | 04-18-2013 |

20080244708 | UPDATING AUTHENTICATION SERVER LISTS FOR USERS ACCESSING SHARED ACCESS DEVICES - A method, service, system, computer program, etc., provides a list of acceptable authentication servers that a user could use to log in when accessing a networked device, such as a networked printer or document processing device. The embodiments include preparing a module, such as a dynamically loadable module (DLM) for use in the networked system accessed by the users. Each of the networked devices is enabled to accept the DLM. The embodiments forward the DLM to the networked devices as a print job along a print job submission path within the network. The networked devices recognize the DLM as a special job. Further, the networked devices use the DLM to install the XML file on each of the networked devices. Thus, the authentication server lists and authentication programs are updated within each of the networked devices using the DLM. | 10-02-2008 |

20140022573 | FILE OF MULTIPLE PRINT DRIVER OUTPUT FILES FOR PULL-PRINTING ON MULTIPLE DEVICES - Methods and systems receive a request to print an item into a computerized device, and automatically create print driver output files. Such methods and systems also automatically combine the print driver output files into a multiple page description language (multi-PDL) file for the item and store the multi-PDL file in a non-volatile computer storage medium. This multi-PDL file allows the decision on which of the page description languages or other formats are needed to be delayed to a time when it is clear what device, method or system will be using the output files. Subsequently, the methods and systems receive an instruction to print the item into a printing device. In response, such methods and systems automatically retrieve the multi-PDL file from the non-volatile computer storage medium using the printing device, and automatically select one of the driver output files from the print driver output files in the multi-PDL file. | 01-23-2014 |

20100134955 | ELECTRICALLY CONNECTING MULTIPLE CATHODES IN A CASE NEGATIVE MULTI- ANODE CAPACITOR - A capacitor comprising a casing of first and second casing members secured to each other to provide an enclosure, a feedthrough electrically insulated from the casing and extending there from through a glass-to-metal seal, first and second anodes electrically connected to each other within the casing, a cathode, and an electrolyte is described. The cathode comprises cathode active material deposited on planar faces of the first and second casing members. There is also a cathode current collector disposed intermediate the first and second anodes. The cathode current collector supports cathode active material on both of its major faces and includes a tab that is directly electrically connected to a ferrule of the glass-to-metal seal. That way, the casing is the negative terminal for the cathode and a feedthrough pin extending through the glass-to-metal seal is the positive terminal for the anode of the capacitor. | 06-03-2010 |

20100111098 | Low power telemetry system and method - A telemetry system is described in which a plurality of channels are coupled to a bus. A control subsystem controls the channels so that one of the channels presents to the bus during its designated time period a channel characteristic. The control subsystem interrogates in the analog domain each of the channels during its designated time period, and forms a signal representative of the channel characteristic. The control subsystem may combine one or more of the signals into a digital packet, and transmit the same via transceiver over a wireless network. The channels may be contained within a submersible enclosure and displaced at intervals along the bus, thereby forming an array for monitoring waterborne threats. The array may lie along an ocean floor, may be towed by a marine vehicle, or may suspended from a deployable buoy containing the control subsystem, transceiver, and a remote power source. The array may further comprise a defensive countermeasure deployable responsive to detecting a threat. | 05-06-2010 |
