20090211202 | VACUUM OR PRESSURE STORAGE SYSTEM FOR FOOD OR BEVERAGE CONTAINERS - A vacuum or pressure refrigerator for storing containers having one-way valves and maintaining contents thereof under vacuum or pressure within a specific temperature range. Upon receiving an input that the door is closed, a refrigerator controller is adapted to cease operation of the cooling device and initiate a vacuum or pressure cycle. The vacuum or pressure cycle includes evacuating at least a portion of or pressurizing the air inside the compartment, operating the pump until a desired degree of vacuum or pressure is attained and terminating pump operation. The one way valves then evacuate or pressurize the containers. The controller is also adapted to subsequently initiate a cooling cycle, the cooling cycle commencing when it is determined that the temperature is above an upper set point and to operate the cooling device until the temperature reaches a desired lower set point, at which time the cooling cycle is terminated. | 08-27-2009 |
20100272590 | MOTORIZED VACUUM/PRESSURE PUMP AND STOPPER - A pump and stopper combination for vacuum or pressure sealing a container. The stopper has a pour opening and a one-way valve movable between an operative position to permit one-way flow of fluid into or out of the container when the pour opening is in the closed position, and an inoperative position when the pour opening is in the open position. A vacuum/pressure pump that connects to the stopper includes a drive adapted to convert rotational movement of a motor to reciprocating motion of a pump piston in a chamber, and one-way pump valves mounted in a selectable flow control member. The selectable flow control member is movable between pressure and vacuum positions to permit passage of fluid only into or out of the pump chamber. The pump also includes an indicator for indicating when a desired level of vacuum or pressure has been reached. The pump may be incorporated into a container lid. | 10-28-2010 |

20080215590 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ASSESSING THE IMPORTANCE OF A WEB LINK - A system and method for determining the most relevant web links to a destination web page is disclosed. The method generates a link value for a linking web page by analyzing the position of the link to the destination web page, the number of links to the destination web page, the number of links to competitors of the destintion web page, and a universal significance score of the linking web page. A plurality of web links to the destination web page may be assessed to generate a link value score for each web link. A list of relevance rankings of the link value scores ranked from highest to lowest relevance may be compiled. Determining the web links with the highest link value to a destination web page enables that company to determine the most beneficial web links, and thereby establish better business relationships with the web page owners that provide the most beneficial links to the company's web page. | 09-04-2008 |

20100255532 | Automated Molecular Pathology Apparatus Having Fixed Slide Platforms - Apparatus and methods for automatically staining or treating multiple tissue samples mounted on slides are provided, in which the slides and reagent bottles are held in fixed position, and the reagent, wash and coverslipping solutions brought to the slides. Alternatively, the slides are held in fixed position, while the reagent, wash and coverslipping solutions brought to the slides. | 10-07-2010 |
20130090808 | MULTI-FUNCTION DAMPER SYSTEM - The embodiments of the invention are directed to a method and apparatus for improvement in the function of dampers used on mobile vehicles such as recreational vehicles. The main function of current dampers (sometimes called shock absorbers) is to extract energy from the suspension system of a moving vehicle by forcing liquid through a system of valves internal to the damper. This invention adds two more functions. One is to lock the suspension so it cannot move when the vehicle is stationary. The second additional function is to level the chassis of the vehicle with respect to the gravity field. | 04-11-2013 |

20110168744 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MODIFYING PRESSURE WITHIN A FLUID DISPENSER - A fluid dispenser comprising a barrel having a reservoir chamber, the barrel having an upper portion, a cap connected to the reservoir chamber, the cap having a surface with at least one hole therethrough, a valve comprising a biasing member and a hole sealer, the valve being adjacent to the reservoir chamber, a coupler having a dispense chamber, and a vent located between the cap and the reservoir chamber, the vent including a vent opening and a vent material composed of oliophobic material. | 07-14-2011 |
20140178858 | AUTOMATED HIGH VOLUME SLIDE PROCESSING SYSTEM - An automated system is provided for performing slide processing operations on slides bearing biological samples. In one embodiment, the disclosed system includes a slide tray holding a plurality of slides in a substantially horizontal position and a workstation that receives the slide tray. In a particular embodiment, a workstation delivers a reagent to slide surfaces without substantial transfer of reagent (and reagent borne contaminants such as dislodged cells) from one slide to another. A method for automated processing of slides also is provided. | 06-26-2014 |

20150215029 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR COMMUNICATING VIA A SATELLITE IN AN INCLINED GEOSYNCHRONOUS ORBIT - A hub terminal and remote client communicate via a target satellite in an inclined geosynchronous orbit. As the target satellite ascends or descends away from the geostationary arc, the signal strength of the uplink channel is increased without increasing the level of interference with adjacent geostationary satellites. The increased angular separation from adjacent satellites also decreases downlink interference. The resulting increase in signal to interference ratio permits adjustment of the modulation and coding parameters to increase spectral efficiency. The antenna gain pattern is modeled based on antenna characteristics and the model may be supplemented with measurements of a signal relayed by adjacent satellites. The method permits intermittent communication from locations where the geostationary arc is blocked or using disadvantaged antennas that would be impractical for use with geostationary satellites. In some circumstances, it is desirable to deliberately mis-steer the antenna slightly away from the target satellite. | 07-30-2015 |
