20140266503 | SPIRAL SURFACE ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVE DISPERSIVE DELAY LINE - Dispersive properties of a linear dispersive delay line are retained in a spiral configuration by constraining the radius of curvature depending on a desired propagation mode. The compact form factor spiral can be either a continuous spiral or a piecewise linear approximation. The spiral comprises a highly dielectric waveguide such as titanium dioxide or barium tetratitanate. Preferably, a spacer with a low dielectric constant and a microstrip are disposed on the top surface. The microstrip prevents attenuation of low frequencies, thereby increasing the operating frequency range. A second dielectric spacer and a second microstrip can be deposited on the bottom surface of the waveguide. Alternatively, the bottom surface of the waveguide can face a ground plane. The waveguide can be fed by horns or half-horns. | 09-18-2014 |
20140333302 | LOW POWER STIMULATED EMISSION NUCLEAR QUADRUPOLE RESONANCE DETECTION AT MULTIPLE REFERENCE POWER LEVELS - System and methods for detecting substances such as explosives via the nuclear quadrapole resonance effect. We observe that the nuclear quadrupole resonances of explosives located within a cavity portal involve continuous Rabi transitions which are nonlinear processes since stimulated emission occurs. In other words, where there are no resonances caused by the presence of an explosive, high average power and low average power measurements should be identical. However, when resonances are stimulated by the system, the difference between these two conditions can be compared to determine a correction to measurements made when a person located in the cavity has explosive material on their person, without the need for separate empty portal or elaborate calibration procedures. | 11-13-2014 |

20130289688 | Flexible Circuit Electrode Array Embedded in a Cured Body - Polymer materials are useful as electrode array bodies for neural stimulation. They are particularly useful for retinal stimulation to create artificial vision, cochlear stimulation to create artificial hearing, and cortical stimulation, and many related purposes. The pressure applied against the retina, or other neural tissue, by an electrode array is critical. Too little pressure causes increased electrical resistance, along with electric field dispersion. Too much pressure may block blood flow. Common flexible circuit fabrication techniques generally require that a flexible circuit electrode array be made flat. Since neural tissue is almost never flat, a flat array will necessarily apply uneven pressure. Further, the edges of a flexible circuit polymer array may be sharp and cut the delicate neural tissue. It is advantageous that the array edges not contact tissue. | 10-31-2013 |

A lighting system configured in accordance with a particular embodiment includes a plurality of lighting fixtures individually including first and second light-emitting diode units. The system further includes a power source, first wiring operably connecting the first light-emitting diode units to the power source, and second wiring operably connecting the second light-emitting diode units to the power source. An automatic controller is operably connected to the first wiring such that the second light-emitting diode units operate independently of the automatic controller. A method for operating a lighting system in accordance with a particular embodiment includes reducing power to a first light-emitting diode unit of a lighting fixture in response to an automatically generated signal without reducing power to a second light-emitting diode unit of the lighting fixture. | 03-06-2014 |
20140062321 | SELF-IDENTIFYING SOLID-STATE TRANSDUCER MODULES AND ASSOCIATED SYSTEMS AND METHODS - Self-identifying solid-state transducer (SST) modules and associated systems and methods are disclosed herein. In several embodiments, for example, an SST system can include a driver and at least one SST module electrically coupled to the driver. Each SST module can include an SST and a sense resistor. The sense resistors of each SST module can have at least substantially similar resistance values. The SSTs of the SST modules can be coupled in parallel across an SST channel to the driver, and the sense resistors of the SST modules can be coupled in parallel across a sense channel to the driver. The driver can be configured to measure a sense resistance across the sense resistors and deliver a current across the SSTs based on the sense resistance. | 03-06-2014 |

20130255064 | INDUSTRIAL-PIPING SYSTEM ATTACHMENT DEVICES FOR SEISMIC BRACING AND METHODS OF USE - What is disclosed is an apparatus that provides connection points on a piping system to facilitate motion restraint using external motion-restraining systems. The apparatus is a type of plug (or cap) that engages into (or onto) a piping opening by threaded engagement, or by circumferentially grooved pipe coupling. The load-attachment connectors disclosed are particularly adapted for securing connection elements used with seismic sway brace and restraint between a fluid pipe line or pipe system and a fixed structure, to anchor that system or pipeline to the structure. The load-attachment connector has at least three alternatives available for the connection to useful external attachments: a flat tab (with bore hole); a tapped hole; and a threaded stud. | 10-03-2013 |

20130339238 | Manufacturer-Based Purchase Transaction Benefit Processing - A method of facilitating a purchase transaction includes receiving an authorization request message that includes a consumer account code for a consumer, a manufacturer identification code for a manufacturer, a product identification code for a respective product associated with the manufacturer, and pricing data for the respective product. The consumer account code and the manufacturer identification code are obtained by a merchant from the consumer via an instrument presented by the consumer to the merchant during the purchase transaction. The respective product is identified at the merchant by filtering a plurality of products based on the manufacturer identification code. A memory in which program data is stored is accessed. The program data specifies a program factor for the manufacturer. A fund amount to be applied in connection with the purchase transaction is determined based on the program data and data in the authorization request message. | 12-19-2013 |
