20110214291 | Utensil and method for retrieving and applying spreadable food - A utensil has first and second arm members of substantially the same size and shape. Each arm member has a head section and a handle section. The head sections are concave or scoop-like in configuration and are connected by a rotatable hinge which permits rotation of the arm members in relation to each other. The head section of the first arm members has elongated openings through which spreadable food can be expelled. The head section of the second arm member is solid. With the first arm member nested within the second arm member, spreadable food is scooped onto the utensil, specifically on the top surface of the first arm member. Rotation of the second arm member around the first arm member such that the second arm member is now nested within the first arm member, causes the food to be expelled from the openings in the first arm member, where the food can be easily spread on bread and or food items. | 09-08-2011 |

20110200193 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLING THE RECHARGING OF ELECTRIC VEHICLES AND DETECTING STOLEN VEHICLES AND VEHICULAR COMPONENTS - In a system for preventing automobile theft, select automotive components are embedded with digital information and devices, including a unique public key, a unique private key, a decryption/encryption module, and a network address. Upon assembly of a vehicle, the components form addressable nodes of that vehicle. Relevant digital information of all components is recorded in a proprietary, highly secure data base at the time of manufacture, and updated for vehicular repairs. Only registered agents may access the data base or submit updates to the federal network. During refueling or re-charging of a vehicle, a digital handshake compares public keys of the vehicular components to the proprietary data base, and confirms the integrity of at least some components by a public-key/private-key challenge and response. If components have been reported stolen, or other irregularities are detected in the vehicle's network of components during the hand shake process, the vehicle is disabled, and a message is automatically transmitted to one or more law enforcement agencies, identifying the vehicle and its location. | 08-18-2011 |

A volume of a fluid is placed in the one or more fluid containers. The system further includes a fluid mover operably connected to the one or more fluid containers for moving the fluid into the one or more containers, and a fluid volume control for controlling the volume of fluid in the one or more containers. By changing the volume of fluid in the one or more containers, the containers are variably pressurized, thereby moving the object in one or more axis. The object may be supported at one or more pivot points that allow the object to be moved in multiple axes. | 05-19-2011 |
20110219759 | Single-Axis Drive System and Method - A system for moving an object in one axis that creates highly dispersed but precisely controlled mechanical force to support, manipulate, and maintain an object, tool or application in precise alignment or orientation with respect to a stationary or moving target is disclosed. The system includes one or more fluid containers within a cylindrical enclosure or drum, and a shaft running through longitudinal axis of the drum. The shaft is coupled to the drum by rotating assemblies so that the drum may rotate around the shaft or the draft may rotate inside the drum. The fluid inflatable containers are arranged in a inside the drum around the shaft so that each container exerts expansive force between a vane fixed to the drum and a vane fixed to the shaft. A volume of the fluid may be placed in the one or more fluid containers by control systems. By changing the volume of fluid in the one or more containers, forces are exerted on the vanes and the object is moved. | 09-15-2011 |
20130152566 | FLUID FLEXIBLE CONTAINER PUMP - System for converting mechanical energy such as ocean power into fluid power which is directed to energy conversion systems or other purposes. Included are fluid inflatable containers arranged to receive mechanical energy from a plunger mounted on a shaft, such that the flexible wall of the container forms a rolling lobe in response to changes in volume, enclosed within a drum, said shaft running axially through the drum and coupled to the drum by bearings so that the drum and shaft may move in relation to one another, a vane runs longitudinally on the drum and extending radially from an attachment point at the inner surface of the drum to the surface of the shaft. The mechanical energy is connected directly or indirectly to either the shaft or to the drum. Mechanical forces cause the plunger to press into the fluid inflatable container expelling fluid and creating fluid flow. | 06-20-2013 |
