20090320570 | DETECTION OF FREE CHLORINE IN WATER - The present invention describes methods and kits for determining the concentration of free chlorine in water. To avoid false readings from other species present in the water, the free chlorine is reacted with ammonia to form monochloramine, which is then reacted to form an indophenol or an indonaphthol. The concentration of the indophenol or indonaphthol is proportional to the total monochloramine present. Subtracting the concentration of residual monochloramine from the total monochloramine yields the concentration of monochloramine formed from the free chlorine and ammonia, and is proportional to the concentration of free chlorine. Embodiments of the present invention will simplify and accelerate accurate measurements of free chlorine in water, without interference from compounds impacting present measurements of free chlorine. | 12-31-2009 |

The simulator employs a Monte Carlo technique to evaluate the GPS system performance based on generated pools of link budget variables. | 10-01-2009 |
20100141416 | Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) System and Method of Operating the Same - There is provided an exemplary tire pressure monitoring (TPM) system that can use a half-duplex wireless link to communicate between one or more wheel-mounted sensor units and a vehicle-mounted transceiver unit. The half-duplex wireless link enables the sensor units to report sensor readings to the transceiver unit, and it enables the transceiver unit to make configuration changes to the sensor units for improved communication. Some examples of wireless settings that can be modified include modulation settings, data encoding/decoding settings, error correction settings, and transmission power settings. | 06-10-2010 |
20130048639 | Fuel Cap - A fuel cap for a filler neck on a fuel tank includes a cap body having threads for engaging the filler neck when the fuel cap is installed on the filler neck and a cap handle rotatably mounted on the cap body. A clutch acts between the cap handle and the cap body to permit the cap handle to rotate freely on the cap body when the clutch is disengaged. When the clutch is engaged, rotation of the cap handle will rotate the cap body so that the user can remove the fuel cap from the filler neck to refuel the vehicle. A pressure-sensing diaphragm disengages the clutch when the pressure differential between the fuel vapor pressure and the atmospheric pressure exceeds a predetermined threshold and engages the clutch when the pressure differential between the fuel vapor pressure and the atmospheric pressure is less than the predetermined threshold. | 02-28-2013 |

20110132726 | Baggage Claim Security Device - The secure baggage claim apparatus and method centers on a dynamic merge conveyor unit that feeds into a standard baggage claim unit. The dynamic merge actively measures every space and every bag. Once the merge determines sufficient spacing for an individual bag, the dynamic merge will accelerate a bag into the open space on the baggage claim unit. Such dynamic merging greatly improves the throughput and capacity of baggage drop off and delivery. The entire baggage claim unit resides within the passenger sector of baggage claim. Current configurations allow bags to freely circulate between the secure and non-secure side of the baggage claim area. With the present invention, bags are prevented from circulating back and forth from the secure side to the non-secure side, which prevents an individual on the non-secure public side from placing a bag on a baggage claim unit where it will then be circulated and unscreened into the secure side for a baggage handler to retrieve such bag. | 06-09-2011 |

20130240471 | STORAGE SYSTEM - A shelving system is disclosed that couples together a pallet storage rack and a bulk storage rack. The pallet storage rack includes an upstanding post with structure different than the upstanding post for the bulk storage rack. Accordingly, the shelving system includes at least a beam having first and second ends, where the first end is adapted to couple with a pallet storage rack, and where the second end is adapted to couple with a bulk storage rack. The disclosed structure therefore couples together the bulk storage and pallet storage racks to conserve space and provide a more convenient, stable, and efficient storage system. | 09-19-2013 |

20140090831 | Non-metallic Slips having Inserts Oriented Normal to Cone Face - A slip assembly for a downhole tool, such as a composite plug, has a slip body and at least one insert. The slip body has an incline at one end that interfaces with an inclined surface of a cone. As this occurs, the slip body is pushed away from the tool's mandrel against a surrounding casing wall. The insert is disposed in the slip body with the axis of the insert angled away from the cone. In particular, the insert's axis is preferably angled normal to the slip body's incline and the inclined surface of the cone. | 04-03-2014 |
