20140041392 | Regenerative Gas Generator - Systems, methods, and computer program products are disclosed that overcome the deficiencies of traditional steam engines and internal combustion engines. In an embodiment, a system is disclosed for generating reaction products having elevated temperature and pressure. The system comprises a first chamber including a reactor to decompose hydrogen peroxide to generate oxygen and water vapor. The system further comprises a second chamber including a reactor to catalytically combust a mixture of the generated oxygen and a fuel to generate reaction products having elevated temperature and pressure. The system further comprises a passageway to receive reaction products exiting the second chamber and to channel the reaction products to come into contact with external surfaces of the first and second chambers to thereby transfer heat to the first and second chambers, and an outlet to allow the reaction products to exit the system. | 02-13-2014 |

20120302412 | EXERCISE APPARATUS - The disclosed subject matter securely attaches to a door for exercise and/or therapy. The device is easily adjustable up, down, or side-to-side on nearly any door. Once the door is shut, the device is stable and permits diverse fitness movements. Bands are threaded through openings in pockets attached to the device. Stoppers on the end of the bands hold the band securely in place. In addition to using a single band, the device permits using multiple bands together or apart. Loops may be provided on one end of the band to allow the bands to be used on the lower region of the body. Additionally, stoppers may be attached to both ends of a band to assist in strengthening a user's grip. The device also permits the attachment of a bar to further diversify the potential exercises. | 11-29-2012 |

20090111407 | Terminal and Associated Transducer Assembly and Method for Selectively Transducing in at Least Two Frequency Bands - A terminal is provided for selectively communicating in at least two frequency bands. The terminal includes an antenna transducer including a first port and a second port, where the antenna transducer is capable of selectively transducing first radio signals (e.g., low power radio frequency (LPRF) signals) to and/or from the first port, and/or second radio signals (e.g., global positioning system (GPS) signals) to and/or from the second port. In this regard, the antenna transducer is capable of transducing first radio signals such that an impedance at the second port approaches a short circuit or an open circuit, and capable of transducing second radio signals such that an impedance at the first port approaches an open circuit. An associated communication assembly and method for selectively communicating in at least two frequency bands are also provided. | 04-30-2009 |

20160034617 | Prototyping an Image Processing Algorithm and Emulating or Simulating Execution on a Hardware Accelerator to Estimate Resource Usage or Performance - System and method for creating a machine vision application. A machine vision prototype comprising a plurality of machine vision steps specifying a machine vision image processing algorithm and associated parameters may be stored. The steps may be interpretable by an emulator to perform the specified image processing on an image by emulating or simulating execution of the steps on a hardware accelerator, e.g., a programmable hardware element or graphics processing unit. An emulator may emulate or simulate execution of the steps on the hardware accelerator, thereby generating image processing results, which may be displayed for validation of the emulating or simulating by a user. The prototype may be analyzed, and based on the analyzing, an estimate of resource usage or performance of the image processing algorithm for the hardware accelerator may be determined and displayed, and may be usable for target platform selection or modification of the image processing algorithm. | 02-04-2016 |

20110274502 | Dampening Pile Guide - A dampening piling guide comprising a first frame, a second frame, and resilient member interposed thereinbetween. The first frame has at least one continuous first surface on a horizontal plane and is constructed and arranged for attachment about a piling. At least two roller brackets are positioned about the first frame's first surface. Each roller bracket includes a roller, and the roller has an axis of rotation substantially perpendicular to the centerline of a pile. The rollers are also translatable along a piling. The second frame has at least one continuous second surface on a horizontal plane and is constructed and arranged for attachment about a piling. A plurality of resilient members are connected to the first frame first surface and the second frame second surface, whereby the resilient members dampen forces acting on the dampening piling guide. | 11-10-2011 |

20090015018 | Flow Stream Momentum Conversion Device Power Rotor - A device known as a Flow Stream Momentum Conversion Device (FSMCD) Power Rotor has been invented. The device makes use of the principle of Conservation of Momentum to convert fluid stream input momentum to device rotational power. A unique and non-obvious aspect of the fluid momentum conversion is circumferential discharge. This aspect maximizes power conversion in a given cross section of open stream flow. Power is extracted from the device as mechanical loading is applied to the rotating shaft resulting in a decrease in rotational speed and an increase is shaft torque. The device has practical usage in both wind and water flows. Under the condition of zero rotor shaft loading the device may be configured to make linear stream measurement of flow speed. This invention has applications in utilizing both unidirectional and bidirectional “fluid stream” flow. It is especially effective in tidal and wave action applications. | 01-15-2009 |

20110123657 | METHOD FOR OBTAINING HIGHLY PURIFIED AND INTACT SOYBEAN HYPOCOTYLS - The present invention relates to a method for processing soybean (or soya) material, which is mainly a mixture of soybean hypocotyls and soybean cracks. In particular, the present invention provides a method for separating a soybean hypocotyl fraction from a soybean crack fraction based on a difference in form, by subjecting said soybean material to a centrifugal force, preferably by use of an indented cylindrical device. On beforehand, it is preferable to remove the main part of the soybean hulls, soybean cotyledons, whole soybeans, and the larger soybean crack fraction from the soybean material by means of traditional separation methods based on differences in size and/or weight (e.g. aspiration). The invention also provides a soybean hypocotyl concentrate and uses thereof, e.g. for the preparation of a soybean hypocotyl (or germ or embryo) oil and/or food products. | 05-26-2011 |

20110154682 | Device and Method for Automatically Opening and Closing a Material Container During a Lyophilization Process - A device for storing a material to be lyophilized includes a support panel, a sidewall, an opening, a cover, and at least one lifter device. The sidewall and the support panel define a storage space for accommodating a material. The opening is defined by a rim of the sidewall. The cover is removably disposed adjacent to the rim of the sidewall for closing the opening. The lifter device is disposed between the support panel and the cover and includes a reservoir and at least one movable wall. The reservoir defines a sealed cavity containing a fluid. The movable wall is in operable communication with the fluid in the sealed cavity and engaging the cover to displace the cover away from the rim when the lifter device is subject to an ambient pressure that is less than the pressure of the fluid in the sealed cavity. | 06-30-2011 |
