20090313724 | Alteration of Flowering Time in Plants - The present invention provides genetic identification and use information about a family of genes, the FLOWERING LOCUS C (FLC) genes, that is part of the regulate the timing of the onset of flowering in plants. This information enables creation of transgenic plants in which the timing of the flowering of the plants has been selectively altered. Since these genes natively act to delay the time of flowering in plants, enhancing activity of the FLC protein delays the timing of flowering initiation while inhibiting the activity of FLC advances the timing of the start of flowering. A representative number of samples of the gene family are described. Members of the gene family are demonstrated to work in other plant species as well. | 12-17-2009 |

20140366481 | AUTOMATED CONSTRUCTION MACHINERY AND METHOD - An automated block or brick construction apparatus is provided by adapting a base transport assembly with a specialized working platform for brick, block and mortar. The working platform houses at least one robotic arm to accurately position mortar and block or brick in place on a wall construction. The working platform is controlled by a 3-D stringless guidance system for positioning vertically, horizontally, and laterally. The robotic arms place and position a block or brick and stage the subsequent blocks or bricks for installation. A first robotic arm can apply mortar onto a wall while a second robotic arm places a concrete masonry unit accurately onto the mortar and also place blocks in position. Application and movement of mortar and blocks are controlled by a programmable central processing unit. | 12-18-2014 |

20130331993 | Ergonomic computer workstation to improve or maintain health - Workstation methods are described which assure that healthy human motions are undertaken while a user is performing tasks over an extended period, as is typical of working on a computer or assembling parts. The workstation includes powered components that are used to change the user's position with time. Biosensors are used to record the physiological state of the users as well as the duration, extent and intensity of user activity. Mechanical sensors are used to measure the position, strain, and acceleration of the workstation joints. Pressure grids are used to measure the contact forces between the user and the workstation. Remote sensors are used to determine user position, and to interpret user gestures. User profiles are maintained that include health history, injuries, fitness goals and physical limitations. A central processing unit uses sensor data and the user's profile to calculate healthy workstation motion routines. | 12-12-2013 |

20140031780 | PANT AND METHOD FOR MAKING SUCH A PANT - A method for positioning side panels during manufacture of a pant includes positioning the side panels on side panel transfer devices. The side panels move perpendicular to a pant transport plane as the pant is transported in the machine direction and the side panels reside on the side panel transfer devices. The side panels can include refastenable fastening components. The method and apparatus can move the fastening components closer together in the cross-machine direction or maintain the fastening components at a constant cross-machine position while the side panels reside on the side panel transfer devices. | 01-30-2014 |

20140156207 | SOOT MONITORING METHOD AND ALERT SYSTEM - A system and method of monitoring regeneration of a particulate matter filter for a stationary diesel engine is disclosed. The system monitors exhaust temperature and operating time of an engine to calculate accumulated operating time below a critical temperature. Upon reaching a maximum allowed accumulated operation time, the system initiates a warning signal to inform the operator to increase exhaust temperatures for passive regeneration of the filter. During regeneration, the system periodically measures filter pressure differential and the exhaust temperature to calculate a difference in pressure differentials measured at two different times and determine whether the difference is below a critical value to inform the operator that regeneration is complete. | 06-05-2014 |

20100042242 | SKIN DESIGN PROCESS - A method of designing a virtual model for the manufacture of a blended body structure having two or more constituent elements, the method comprising the step of defining a parameterised, theoretical procedural skin from which two or more datum skins are generated, each datum skin defining a production outline of an airframe structure constituent element. The use of a procedural model with embedded parameterisation and associativity to derive the datum skins reduces the time taken to produce the datum skins and enables feature modifications to be incorporated into models quickly and consistently. | 02-18-2010 |
