20110027166 | Chlorate and chlorine dioxide systems adapted for the production of deuterium enriched water - The present invention provides a process whereby pre-enrichment of water streams using a hydrogen source and a catalytic isotope exchange method at one or more remote sites to supply water with augmented deuterium concentration to a central heavy water. This central heavy water plant could be a Combined Electrolysis and Catalytic Exchange (“CECE”) heavy water production plant or a Girdler Sulfide heavy water plant. The deuterium content of water at the remote sites is increased and provides water stream(s) with augmented deuterium concentration to feed to the central heavy water production plant. This could be a first stage of the central CECE deuterium enrichment plant, increasing its capacity for heavy water production approximately in the ratio of its enrichment above natural deuterium concentrations. By relatively simple utilization of available deuterium enrichment capacity at the remote sites, advantages are achieved from a larger scale of heavy water production at the central production plant. The invention further provides systems and methods for adapting chlorate and chlorine dioxide systems which produce hydrogen to additionally produce deuterium-enriched water. | 02-03-2011 |

20120158695 | More efficient search algorithm (MESA) using: integrated system optimizer - MESA utilizes novel tools and strategies to more efficiently search and retrieve records from an electronic database. An Integrated System Optimizer (ISO) programmable computer system is electronically linked to related database platform systems to dynamically monitor, supervise, control, track and communicate the status of each database query. ISO analyzes IVR speaker dependent and speaker independent confidence levels; determines number of records in initial, subsequent and final subsets of records formed by AlphaOmega combinations and subsets formed by statistical, subjective and objective virtual search parameters; selects optimum search algorithms or search sequence for each query; determines the frequency of occurrence for AlphaOmega combinations; transmits optimum search activity for each query to database subsystems including Intelligent Queries to disambiguate similar records. | 06-21-2012 |

20140320279 | Signaling Systmem - A signaling system allows a front vehicle to give advance notifications of signaling intentions to a rear vehicle by activating an intent signal on a vehicle when an object, such as a foot, is in proximity to, and/or moving towards, a signal actuator. A detector portion emits a motion signal, such as a plurality of optical beams that form a grid on a planar surface of the brake pedal. An interruption in the grid actuates a radio frequency signal from the detector positioned in proximity to the brake pedal, to an indicator portion, positioned in a rear visible area of the vehicle. The indicator includes a light emitting diode strip that is visible from the car and may tilt and orient for variable viewing angles. The illumination from the indicator differs from the brake illumination to differentiate between intent to brake and actual braking. | 10-30-2014 |

20120180609 | BEVELLING APPARATUS FOR PIPE RE-FACING MACHINE - In an improvement to a pipe re-facing machine having a rotatable flange plate and a coaxially-mounted collar rotatable with and longitudinally movable relative to the flange plate, a support bracket projects from the flange plate, and a support block is retainingly mounted to and movable relative to the support bracket in an angled radial direction. The support block is adapted to receive a tool holder carrying a cutting element. An actuating mechanism is engageable with the support block such that longitudinal movement of the collar will move the support block relative to the support bracket. The actuating mechanism can thus move the cutting element in an angled direction relative to the axis of a tubular workpiece, thereby enabling machining of a bevelled edge on an annular shoulder of a tubular workpiece non-rotatably mounted to the re-facing machine by longitudinally moving the collar while rotating the flange plate. | 07-19-2012 |
