20090261183 | DRIP EMITTER - A drip emitter is provided for delivering irrigation water from a supply tube to an emitter outlet at a reduced and relatively constant flow rate. Water enters the emitter through a first inlet and proceeds into a first chamber. When the water pressure is above a predetermined level, a one-directional valve opens to allow fluid flow past the first chamber, through a tortuous path flow channel, and through an emitter outlet. A second inlet is used to compensate for water pressure fluctuations in the supply tube to maintain output flow at a relatively constant rate. Water enters the second inlet and presses a flexible diaphragm toward a water metering surface to provide pressure-dependent control of the output flow. A copper member is mounted to the emitter over the emitter outlet to prevent plant root intrusion into the emitter outlet. | 10-22-2009 |

20150305967 | Massage Table System and Method - A massage table system/method allowing self-application of adjustable compression and stretching is disclosed. The system incorporates a frame support structure (FSS) horizontally supporting a patient support table (PST) and patient face cradle (PFC) permitting a massage patient to receive adjustable massage from a body contact assembly (BCA) positioned using a horizontal slide assembly (HSA) under pneumatic control of a horizontal cylinder assembly (HCA). The patient is massaged via a patient massage roller (PMR) radially articulated by the BCA in response to pneumatic pressure applied by a vertical cylinder assembly (VCA) while the BCA is positioned longitudinally over the patient by the HSA. A control interface box (CIB) provides adjustment of HSA travel speed, position, and applied pressure to the PMR by the VCA. Computer controls within the CIB may permit automated patient massage procedures by pre-programmed/memorized operation of pneumatic valves controlling the HSA and BCA. | 10-29-2015 |

20120019522 | ENHANCED SITUATIONAL AWARENESS AND TARGETING (eSAT) SYSTEM - eSAT pushes 3D scene awareness and targeting to forward positioned mobile operators and their handheld devices in environments such as found in military theaters of operation, border control and enforcement, police operations, search & rescue and large commercial industrial operations. A host computer hosts a 3D model of a scene and dynamically captures and transmits a windowed portion of the visual representation of that 3D model over a wireless network to the mobile operators' handheld devices. The windowed portion of the visual representation is streamed directly to the operators' handheld device displays. The mobile operators may interact with and control the 3D model via the wireless network. The host computer may synthesize the visual representation of the 3D model with live feeds from one or more of the handheld devices or other assets to improve situational awareness. Either the mobile operators or host operator can make point selections on the visual representation to extract geo-coordinates from the 3D model as a set of target coordinates. | 01-26-2012 |
