20090266510 | HEAT EXCHANGER WITH PRESSURE REDUCTION - A heat exchanger and related method of making is disclosed herewith. The heat exchanger may have first and second fluid reservoirs that retain a quantity of fluid and also a plurality of tubes that extend between the first and second reservoirs and circulate the fluid therebetween. First and second header plates may be retained respectively in the first and second reservoirs through which the plurality of tubes are mounted. First and second pressure reduction plates may each have a plurality of apertures that respectively encompass first and second ends of each of the plurality of tubes. The plurality of apertures may have tapered side walls that taper outwardly from the respective ends, to reduce turbulence of the fluid between the plurality of tubes and the first and second reservoirs. | 10-29-2009 |
20100009804 | Variable Speed Drivetrain for Electronic Throttle Body - A variable speed drivetrain for an electronic throttle body is disclosed. The system includes a gear arrangement for the drivetrain of the electronic throttle body that includes a driving gear, a set of driven gears and a set of intermediate gears. The system also includes a clutch that is configured to selectively engage with one of the driven gears according to the selected mode of operation. | 01-14-2010 |
20100043733 | Protective System for a Crank Angle Sensor - A system for protecting a crank angle sensor is disclosed. The system includes a protective member, a heat insulating member and an airflow deflecting member. The heat insulating member insulates against heat from adjacent heat sources. The airflow deflecting member directs driving wind into an interior portion of the protective member to cool the air adjacent to a portion of the crank angle sensor. The protective member also includes holes to receive the driving wind directed from the airflow deflecting member. | 02-25-2010 |
20120313381 | STARTER CIRCUIT FOR MOTOR VEHICLE - A starter circuit includes a battery, a starter electrically coupled with the battery, a relay disposed between the battery and the starter, and a starter switch mounted remotely from the starter. The starter includes a switch assembly and a starter motor. The switch assembly includes an actuator and a start signal switch. The relay is configured to operate to provide current to the switch assembly to close the start signal switch in response to a received signal. The starter switch closes in response to the start signal switch being closed, whereby the battery delivers current to the starter motor when the starter switch is closed. A starter unit is also disclosed. | 12-13-2012 |

20080228881 | Interactive web collaboration systems and methods - A topic room is provided in which one or more individuals or other entities may collaborate on topics of mutual interest. Multiple individuals or participants may use the topic room to communicate in real or non-real time and may work together to create, browse, modify, comment on, and perform any other suitable action on content. A chat room within the topic room receives, records, and transmits the communications and all activity in the topic room to all participants as messages. Client processes at a participant's user equipment may listen to the messages and take particular actions. For example, one participant can follow another participant as that participant browses through material by using the messages received from that participant. | 09-18-2008 |

20090173215 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR THE CREATION AND PLAYBACK OF ANIMATED, INTERPRETIVE, MUSICAL NOTATION AND AUDIO SYNCHRONIZED WITH THE RECORDED PERFORMANCE OF AN ORIGINAL ARTIST - A music application guides a user with some musical experience through the steps of creating and editing a musical enhancement file that enhances and plays in synchronicity with an audio signal of an original artist's recorded performance. This enables others, perhaps with lesser musical ability than the original artist, to play-along with the original artist by following melodic, chordal, rhythmic, and verbal prompts. The music application accounts for differences in the timing of the performance from a standard tempo by guiding the user through the process of creating a tempo map for the performance and by associating the tempo map with MIDI information of the enhancement file. Enhancements may contain MIDI information, audio signal information, and/or video signal information which may be played back in synchronicity with the recorded performance to provide an aural and visual aid to others playing-along who may have less musical experience. | 07-09-2009 |
