20130284334 | LAYERED TIRE TREAD DESIGN WITH BRIDGED CIRCUMFERENTIAL AND TRANSVERSE GROOVES - A tire tread is provided having a layered design that includes bridged and unbridged circumferential grooves during earlier stages of tread life while transverse and unbridged circumferential grooves are provided at later stages of tread life. Together, the combination of grooves can provide desired wet adherence performance without unacceptable compromises of tread wear and/or rolling resistance. Pockets can also be provided at the end of the transverse grooves to increase the volume available for receipt of water during wet traction. | 10-31-2013 |
20130284335 | LAYERED TIRE TREAD DESIGN FOR IMPROVED COAST BY NOISE AND TRACTION PERFORMANCE - A tire tread having a layered design is provided. In a first layer of the tread, sipes extend transversely to provide traction in the first stage of the wear life of the tread. In a second layer of the tread, the width of the sipes along the circumferential direction is increased to provide for improved traction in a second stage of the wear life. The increased width is provided by a void that opens to a circumferential groove only along one end. Because the void opens only along one end, a decrease in acoustical effects such as drive by noise can be provided. | 10-31-2013 |

20130097892 | SKI BOOT WITH IMPROVED MECHANISM TO PASS FROM A SKIING CONFIGURATION TO A WALKING CONFIGURATION - A ski boot with a leg portion hinged to the foot portion so that the leg portion is able to rotate around a rotation axis (X-X) in relation to the foot portion. The ski boot includes a constraint mechanism for selectively blocking and/or unblocking the rotation of the leg portion in relation to the foot portion depending on whether or not the user wishes to pass from a skiing configuration to a walking configuration. The constraint mechanism comprises a rod having a fixed end hinged to the foot portion and a movable end which interfaces with the leg portion, a support attached to the leg portion and a guide connected to the support for guiding the movable end of the rod. The guide is movable in relation to the support and moves with rotation of the rod during movement of the leg portion in relation to the foot portion. | 04-25-2013 |

20130145867 | CONTAMINATION FREE WATER SAMPLER AND SYSTEM - A water sampling system, device and method of sampling are provided. Water sampling system includes triggering mechanism, at least one water sampling device and pumping mechanism. Water sampling device is configured to cooperate with triggering mechanism and includes removable sampling container and pinch mechanism. Removable sampling container is disposed in water sampling device and includes inlet, inlet tube and sampling bag attached to inlet tube. Pinch mechanism is located adjacent to and surrounding inlet tube and proximate to sampling bag. Pinch mechanism, when closed, prevents water from entering inlet tube and sampling bag. Pinch mechanism, when open, allows water from inlet into inlet tube and sampling bag. Pumping mechanism creates a flow of water to cause sampling bag to collect water when pinch mechanism is in an open position. | 06-13-2013 |

20120176616 | FLUID SUBMERSIBLE SENSING DEVICE - A fluid submersible sensing device is provided comprising a fluid-tight housing defining an internal chamber and including window structure; sensing structure provided in the internal chamber; light providing apparatus in the internal chamber emitting light capable of passing through the window structure so as to exit the housing; and a sample-providing structure coupled to the housing and located outside of the housing internal chamber comprising a passage through which a fluid flows. The passage may have a longitudinal axis substantially parallel with a flow path through the passage and a cross sectional area substantially transverse to the longitudinal axis. The light from the housing exits the housing, passes through the sample-providing structure including the passage and re-enters the housing toward the sensing structure. | 07-12-2012 |

20110178794 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR INTERPRETING TEXT USING INTELLIGENT GLOSSARIES - A computer implemented method used to interpret text, including from a set of formal glossaries which may refer one to the other and are intended to define precisely the terminology of a field of endeavor. Such glossaries are known as intelligent, in the sense that they allow machines to make deductions, without the need for human intervention. However, they may also accept human intervention. Once a word is defined in an intelligent glossary, all the logical consequences of the use of that word in a formal and well-formed sentence are computable. The process includes a question and answer mechanism, which applies the definitions contained in the intelligent glossaries to a given formal sentence. The methods may be applied in the development of knowledge management methods and tools that are based on semantics; for example: modeling of essential knowledge in the field based on the relevant semantics. | 07-21-2011 |
20120265724 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR CONSTRUCTING INTELLIGENT GLOSSARIES FROM DISTINCTION-BASED REASONING - A computer implemented method of constructing formal definitions in intelligent glossaries for interpreting text, comprising the steps of: providing at least one Distinction having a Boundary, an Indication, a Counter-indication and a Frame; modeling each Distinction as a diagram to provide a Distinction Model; verifying each distinction model as being an instantiation of a generic Distinction Pattern; providing at least one Arrangement made of nonintersecting Marks of Distinction containing Indications from the verified Distinction Model; writing at least one Formulation for each Indication appearing in verified Distinction model and Arrangement, providing well-founded Indications; calculating precise Formulations in Natural Language from well-founded Indications by substituting Variables symbols and/or replacing Constants symbols to transform imprecise Formulations into precise Formulations; selecting a Definition type and embedding at least one precise Formulation and Definition type as a formal Definition in an Intelligent Glossary to provide computerized Semantic Systems of Intelligent Glossaries. | 10-18-2012 |

20140325090 | DISCOVERY AND DISCONNECTION OF CLIENT ADDRESSES IN AN ACCESS NODE FOR AN IP NETWORK - A method of operating an Access Node (AN) includes polling a client by periodically causing a query message to be sent to each client that has established a communication link with the AN, and listening for a response message from the client. In one aspect, if the response contains a valid link-local address as the source address of the client, but for which the AN has no record of the Media Access Control (MAC)-Internet Protocol (IP) address-relation, then the AN performs a Duplicate Address Detection (DAD) operation towards the IP network. If no collision is detected enforces the MAC-IP address relation for the link-local address of the client. In another aspect, if the client does not respond, and the AN has a record of an existing removable MAC-IP address-relation for the client, the AN removes that existing removable address-relation. | 10-30-2014 |
