20090208622 | Method of processing crustaceans - The invention relates to a method of processing crustaceans, live and cooked to cause detachment of shells from crustacean meat. According to the method, live crustaceans are exposed to hydrostatic pressure of relatively high value, for example between 20,000 p.s.i. to 60,000 p.s.i. for 2-5 minutes. The process is conducted at minimal elevated temperatures, in the range of above ambient temperature of 40 degrees to about 110 degrees Fahrenheit, leaving the raw crustacean meat substantially unaffected, in its desired raw state, while the connective tissue deteriorates and the shell detaches from the meat. As a result separating the edible meat from the shell becomes much easier and less time-consuming. Cooked crustacean meat can also be processed under hydrostatic high pressure in the order of 30,000 p.s.i. to 60,000 p.s.i. to eliminate or substantially reduce bacteria in the meat, thereby extending shelf life of the product. | 08-20-2009 |

20090125168 | TAKEOFF AND LANDING PERFORMANCE INDICATOR FOR FIXED WING AIRCRAFT - A runway performance monitor and method for an aircraft, includes providing a control, and monitoring aircraft performance. The control has baseline performance data of the aircraft during takeoff and/or landing. The control compares actual performance of the aircraft during takeoff and/or landing with the baseline performance data and calculates predicted information relevant to takeoff velocity and/or landed velocity. The control may determine braking point data and/or takeoff point data for that aircraft as a function of aircraft performance and runway location and length. The braking point data defines a location relevant to decelerating of the aircraft to a landed velocity. The takeoff point data defines a location relevant to accelerating of the aircraft to takeoff velocity. A display may be provided to display the information relevant to takeoff velocity and/or landed velocity. | 05-14-2009 |

20100173034 | Conforming Template for Patterning Liquids Disposed on Substrates - The present invention includes a template for patterning liquids disposed on a substrate. The template includes a body having opposed first and second surfaces with one surface having at least one recess and the other surface having a patterning region. In one embodiment, the template may be mounted to a fluid chamber having an inlet and a throughway. The template may be connected to the throughway and the inlet is connected to a fluid source. | 07-08-2010 |

20090214686 | Formation of Conductive Templates Employing Indium Tin Oxide - The present invention is directed to a method forming conductive templates that includes providing a substrate; forming a mesa on the substrate; and forming a plurality of recessions and projections on the mesa with a nadir of the recessions comprising electrically conductive material and the projections comprising electrically insulative material. It is desired that the mesa be substantially transparent to a predetermined wavelength of radiation, for example ultraviolet radiation. As a result, it is desired to form the electrically conductive material from a material that allows ultraviolet radiation to propagate therethrough. In the present invention indium tin oxide is a suitable material from which to form the electrical conductive material. | 08-27-2009 |
20100077987 | POWERING AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE - Downstream expansion cylinders are associated with a combustion cylinder such that an overall surface area and displacement volume of the expansion cylinder is sufficient to lower the temperature of fluids associated with the combined engine to such an extent that a radiator can be eliminated in an associated vehicle, or other system. In a separate feature, a catalytic material is placed on surfaces which will “see” the hot exhaust gases such that catalytic conversion of impurities in the gases can be achieved within the engine itself. In yet another feature, water is recovered from a system having both a water injection expansion cylinder, and a combustion cylinder, and the recovered water is re-used for the expansion. In yet another feature, gearing is provided between the expansion cylinder and a combustion cylinder such that the output of the combined engine is optimized, and the two cylinders do not drive the crankshafts in a one-to-one fashion. In another feature the combustion cylinder's ignition timing is delayed (retarded) to manage thermal control of said combustion cylinder between it and a subsequent expansion cylinder or cylinders. | 04-01-2010 |
20100201042 | Step and Repeat Imprint Lithography Processes - Methods of forming continuous layers on regions of a substrate are described. Generally, an imprint lithography template may contact liquid positioned on the substrate. The liquid may be cured forming a masking layer, and the imprint lithography template separated from the masking layer. Prior to separation, pressurized gas and/or vacuum may be applied between the template and the substrate. Additionally, during separation, pressurized gas and/or vacuum may be applied between the template and the substrate. | 08-12-2010 |
20100278955 | Imprint Alignment Method, System and Template - Imprint lithography templates for patterning substrates are described. The templates include a section having a mold, a first pattern of alignment forming areas and template alignment marks. The additional sections are generally devoid of a mold. One or more of the additional sections may include a second pattern of alignment forming areas and template alignment marks. The second pattern may correspond to the first pattern. | 11-04-2010 |
20110221095 | Step and Repeat Imprint Lithography Process - The present invention is directed to methods for patterning a substrate by imprint lithography. Imprint lithography is a process in which a liquid is dispensed onto a substrate. A template is brought into contact with the liquid and the liquid is cured. The cured liquid includes an imprint of any patterns formed in the template. In one embodiment, the imprint process is designed to imprint only a portion of the substrate. The remainder of the substrate is imprinted by moving the template to a different portion of the template and repeating the imprint lithography process. | 09-15-2011 |
