20160023257 | ROLLING MILL THIRD OCTAVE CHATTER CONTROL BY PROCESS DAMPING - Control of third octave vibrations in a mill stand can be achieved using a high-speed piezoelectric assist coupled to a hydraulic gap cylinder to increase the damping of the roll stack. Vertical movements of the roll stack (e.g., the top work roll) can be determined through observation (e.g., measurement) of hydraulic fluid pressure of the hydraulic cylinder or entry tension of the metal strip. After determining vertical movements of the roll stack, a desired change in hydraulic pressure can be determined to overcome, reduce, or prevent third octave vibration. This desired change in hydraulic pressure can be effectuated at high speeds (e.g., at or above approximately 90 hertz) using the piezoelectric assist. | 01-28-2016 |

20140199653 | HYDRAULIC PRESSURE DENTAL IMPRESSION - In an exemplary embodiment, a method of creating an impression of structures of the human oral cavity comprises: preparing impression trays; creating a first, or base, impression; grinding out portions of the base impression; and using the void(s) in the ground out base impression to take a second, or wash, impression. The base impression is taken with an excess of a high-density impression material which is positioned to extend beyond the structures of interest (of which the impression is being taken). The base impression is removed and all fine structure surrounding the structure(s) of interest is ground out. A wash impression is then taken using a low-density impression material. The base impression creates a seal around the structure(s) of interest (a closed system), thereby producing omnidirectional hydraulic pressure on the low-density material. Such omnidirectional hydraulic pressure produces a highly detailed final impression from which a high-quality model (e.g., cast) can be made. | 07-17-2014 |

20100132956 | EXPANDABLE CONNECTION WITH METAL TO METAL SEAL - An expandable tubular connection includes coupled first and second tubular members and a sealing end on one of the first and second tubular members engaged with an angled shoulder coupled to the other of the first and second tubular members, wherein the sealing end deflects on the angled shoulder and plastically deforms into one of the first and second tubular members upon radial expansion and plastic deformation of the expandable tubular connection. A tubular sleeve including the angled shoulder may be coupled between the first and second tubular members. The sealing end may have an inner radial projection that is deflected into a surface on the first tubular member. A method includes pre-loading a sealing end of the second tubular member onto an angled shoulder of the tubular sleeve, radially expanding and plastically deforming the tubular connection, and deflecting the sealing end on the angled shoulder and into the first tubular member. | 06-03-2010 |

20100274902 | System and Method for N-Way Communication with and between Locking/Unlocking Morphing Game Peripherals - A system and method for actuating a visible persistent physical change to a game peripheral during interaction with an online game server having multiple game states. The method includes steps for establishing a connection between a game peripheral and an online game server, associating the game peripheral with at least one game state, retrieving from the online game server at least one bit for downloading to the game peripheral, and actuating at least one electro-mechanical component of the game peripheral for morphing the game peripheral. Morphing of the game peripheral produces at least one visible persistent change to the game peripheral, including locking or unlocking components of the game peripheral, changing physical shape, or other mode of changing the visible appearance of the game peripheral. Some embodiments include a second game peripheral for communicating state to a first game peripheral, and actuating an electro-mechanical component of the first game peripheral. | 10-28-2010 |
20110014984 | System and Method for Personality Adoption by Online Game Peripherals - An apparatus and methods for personality adoption of online game peripherals interacting with an online game server having multiple online game states. Methods disclosed include techniques for associating a personality with a personality-adopting mobile game peripheral capable of holding a game state at least partially adopted from the game peripheral personality component (e.g. a faceplate, a shell, a key, etc). Additionally techniques are provided for uploading personality-imbued game state to the online game server; and for retrieving personality-imbued online game states to the first personality-adopting mobile game peripheral. Some embodiments involve multiple game peripheral personality components and corresponding personality-adopting mobile game peripherals in a peer-to-peer relationship. Peer-to-peer embodiments include techniques for associating a second personality, using a second game peripheral personality component, with a second personality-adopting mobile game peripheral. Also disclosed are techniques for receiving into the first game peripheral, a second personality from the second personality-adopting mobile game peripheral. | 01-20-2011 |

20130262103 | Verbal Intelligibility Analyzer for Audio Announcement Systems - A device and method are disclosed for testing the intelligibility of audio announcement systems. The device may include a microphone, a translation engine, a processor, a memory associated with the processor, and a display. The microphone of the analyzer may be coupled to the translation engine, which in-turn may be coupled to the processor, which is in-turn may be coupled to the memory and the display. The translation engine can convert audio speech input from the microphone into data output. The processor can receive the data output and can apply a scoring algorithm thereto. The algorithm can compare the received data against data that is stored in the memory of the analyzer and calculates the accuracy of the received data. The algorithm may translate the calculated accuracy into a standardized STI intelligibility score that is then presented on the display of the analyzer. | 10-03-2013 |
