20130119133 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR IDENTIFYING OBJECTS AND TRIGGERING INTERACTIONS BY MEANS OF CLOSE-RANGE COUPLING OF ACOUSTICALLY MODULATED DATA SIGNALS - The method for identifying objects and triggering interactions functions by means of an acoustically modulated data signal, which is associated with an object, and based on the identification of the line by means of which said signal is sent from a receiving unit to a processing point. The content that is associated with said object is sent by means of said line from the processing point to the receiving unit, and thus an interaction between one of many subscribers by means of the receiving unit thereof and one of many objects is enabled. For this purpose, a station produces an acoustically modulated data signal, which is captured by the sound transducer of a receiving unit located within close range of the sound source of said station and forwarded by the receiving unit to the processing point. The processing point determines that the acoustic pattern has arrived and detects the number of the line on which this occurred. The processing point, based on the knowledge thereof of the station and of the line, provides information to the receiving unit on said line. The device for identifying objects and triggering desired interactions as described above according to said method comprises stations having a tone generator and a sound source, receiving units having a sound transducer, and a processing point. The stations are equipped with an input device, for example keys, a touchscreen, a trackball, a mouse, sensors, or a microphone for voice input. | 05-16-2013 |

20110206655 | FVIII-INDEPENDENT FIX-MUTANT PROTEINS FOR HEMOPHILIA A TREATMENT - The present invention relates to recombinant blood coagulation factor IX (rFIX) mutants having factor VIII (FVIII) independent factor X (FX) activation potential. Five full length FIX proteins with combinations of mutations of amino acids important for functional activity of FIX and FIX wild type were cloned and expressed in HEK 293 cells. The proteins were tested by an activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) assay in FVIII-depleted plasma as well as in FVIII-inhibited patient plasma. In FVIII-depleted plasma functional activity of the FIX mutants was calculated as increased FVIII equivalent activity. The mutant proteins had increased FVIII equivalent activity. In FVIII-inhibited patient plasma the FEIBA equivalent activity was calculated for analysis of FVIII independent FX activation potential. The proteins had also increased FEIBA equivalent activity. Furthermore, the pre-activated FIX proteins had an increased activity in FIX-depleted plasma containing FVIII inhibitors. Therefore these FIX mutants are alternatives as bypassing agents for treatment of FVIII inhibitor patients. | 08-25-2011 |

20080308221 | Method And System For Removing Tape From Substrates - A method for removing tape from a substrate includes the step of detecting an actual distance between a peel head and the tape on the substrate, and a location of an edge of the substrate. The method also includes the steps of moving the peel head in a first direction by an amount equal to the distance to press the peel tape onto the tape on the substrate, moving the peel head in a second direction to the edge of the substrate, and then moving the peel head in an opposite second direction to peel the tape from the substrate. The detecting step can be performed using a sensor such as a capacitance probe sensor or an optical sensor. Alternately, rather than detecting the distance, a pressure sensing system can be used to press the peel head against the tape, and to maintain a predetermined pressure range during the peeling process. A system for performing the method includes sensors configured to detect the distance and the edge of the substrate, and a control system configured to control the movement of the peel head responsive to signals from the sensors. A pressure sensing system includes a compression spring and a load cell for sensing pressure, and a stepper motor configured to control movement of the peel head responsive to pressure signals. | 12-18-2008 |

20130075069 | Brazed microchannel heat exchanger with thermal expansion compensation - A brazed aluminum microchannel heat exchanger comprising a stack of alternating tubes and serpentine fins includes an expansion relief feature that accommodates uneven thermal expansion in the heat exchanger. The expansion relief feature provides the heat exchanger with sufficient structural support, at least during assembly, so that components of the heat exchanger can be firmly clamped in compression during a controlled-atmosphere brazing process. In some examples, the expansion relief feature is a gap or sliding engagement between adjacent headers of the heat exchanger. In addition or alternatively, the expansion relief feature comprises one or more slits cut into the serpentine fins after the brazing process, wherein each slit extends generally parallel to the tubes. | 03-28-2013 |

20090108575 | REMOVABLE RESILIENT VEHICLE PROTECTION ASSEMBLY - A removable vehicle protection assembly for installation between first and second edges of a vehicle includes a resilient strip, a first resilient clamping member with a first clamp hook element, and a second hook element. The resilient strip is extendible along its longitudinal axis and is designed to protect the surface of the vehicle. The first resilient clamping member is used to protect a portion of the first vehicle edge and for securely receiving one end of the resilient strip portion. The resilient strip has a first clamp hook element for engaging a portion of the first vehicle edge and a second hook element coupled to the other end of the resilient strip for engaging a portion of the second vehicle edge. When installed on a vehicle, vehicle protection assembly protects the surface of a vehicle from damage when said vehicle is in transit, parked, or being towed. | 04-30-2009 |

20140070550 | Latch System With Inertial Lock Mechanism - A latch system includes a catch member and a sear element engaged with the catch member when the catch member is in a latch position. A swing lever is in geared engagement with the sear element. When the latch system is subjected to an acceleration event, the swing lever pivots in one direction so that the sear element pivots in the opposite direction to move the sear element out of engagement with the catch member. The latch system may be installed on a container so that the catch member engages with a latch receptacle coupled to a hinged lid of the container. When the container experiences the acceleration event, the sear element disengages from the catch element and the hinged lid falls open thereby causing the catch member to pivot to the release position. The latch system automatically re-engages when the container is returned to its upright position. | 03-13-2014 |

20140069926 | LATCH SYSTEM WITH INERTIAL LOCK MECHANISM - A latch system includes a catch member and a sear element engaged with the catch member when the catch member is in a latch position. A swing lever is in geared engagement with the sear element. When the latch system is subjected to an acceleration event, the swing lever pivots in one direction so that the sear element pivots in the opposite direction to move the sear element out of engagement with the catch member. The latch system may further include a security mechanism that is configured to prevent the swing lever and sear element from moving in response to an acceleration event under the condition the latch system is not oriented in an upright and vertical orientation. When the latch system is returned to its upright position, the security mechanism may be configured to not interfere with the normal operation of the latch system. | 03-13-2014 |

20100278104 | Computing Device and Communications Framework - A computing device having communications framework for a protocol stack. The framework includes a number of layers, each layer representing a layer in a protocol stack. At each layer, a protocol is a bearer of an upper adjacent layer. Each layer is arranged to monitor the availability of one or more alternate bearer layers below. Where there is more than one alternate bearer layer below, a layer is said to be mobile. In the event of a new bearer layer becoming available at a mobile layer, a decision is made as to whether or not to migrate to that bearer layer based on established policies in the mobile layer and, optionally, on communication with higher layers or with the client application. If the decision to migrate is positive, the mobile layer then ensures establishment of the new bearer layer and initiates and completes migration to it. The client of a connection active over the connection stack need not be disturbed by mobility events within the stack providing the connection. | 11-04-2010 |
