20110134335 | Multimode filter architecture - Systems and methods which provide a multimode tuner architecture implementing direct frequency conversion are shown. Embodiments provide a highly integrated configuration wherein low noise amplifier, tuner, analog and digital channel filter, and analog demodulator functionality are provided in a single integrated circuit. A LNA of embodiments implements a multi-path configuration with seamless switching to provide desired gain control while meeting noise and linearity design parameters. Embodiments of the invention implement in-phase and quadrature (IQ) equalization and a multimode channelization filter architecture to facilitate the use of direct frequency conversion. Embodiments implement spur avoidance techniques for improving tuner system operation and output using a clock signal generation architecture in which a system clock, sampling clock frequencies, local oscillator (LO) reference clock frequencies, and/or the like are dynamically movable. | 06-09-2011 |

20090032445 | Multi-Grade Object Sorting System And Method - A paper sorting system allows the high speed determination of the presence of printed matter for individual sheets of paper in a stream of waste paper. Sorting criteria may be selected by a user from a plurality of predefined options to sort the paper stream. The selected category of paper to be sorted may include newspaper or magazines. | 02-05-2009 |
20120221142 | Sequential Scanning Of Multiple Wavelengths - A system is provided for identifying at least one physical characteristic of items in a stream of items moving along a path through an inspection zone, and for separating items from the stream of items based upon the at least one physical characteristic. The system includes a movable transversely scanning mirror arranged to reflect electromagnetic energy from the inspection zone onto an array of detectors. The detectors of the array are arranged to sequentially receive electromagnetic energy so that on each transverse scan of the mirror for any given sub-zone within the inspection zone the detectors of the array receive electromagnetic energy reflected from the mirror at different times. The controller is then operable to correlate input signals from the various detectors corresponding to detected levels of electromagnetic energy received at different times from each given sub-zone within the inspection zone. | 08-30-2012 |

20120085414 | ROTARY FLUID VALVE ASSEMBLIES, SYSTEMS AND METHODS - Rotary valves are provided having an elongate spool defining coaxially aligned inlet and outlet ports for respectively receiving and discharging a fluid, and spool inlet and outlet orifices. A rotary cage assembly defines an annular cage recess and cage inlet and outlet orifices in communication with the recess and coaxially surrounds the spool for reciprocal rotations thereabout. An actuator assembly is coupled to the rotary cage assembly for moving the rotary cage assembly between open and closed positions. When in the open position the cage inlet and outlet orifices are in fluid communication with the spool inlet and outlet orifices, respectively, to allow fluid to flow from the spool inlet port to the spool outlet port by way of the annular cage recess. When in the closed position however fluid communication is blocked between at least the cage and spool outlet orifices. | 04-12-2012 |

20150040319 | Portable Surgical Platform - A folding, lightweight, portable, and rugged surgical operating platform apparatus that can be erected quickly under adverse conditions at any location and without tools other than the users hands and without the need to attach any loose pieces to form the unitary platform. As needed, the surgical platform will hold, support, elevate, move, and tilt a stretcher (or litter in military terms) bearing a wounded person and the portable surgical support equipment such as IV poles, surgical instrument trays, armboards, wrist restraints, leg stirrups, light poles, and other equipment that a surgeon needs to treat major injuries and save lives. In the folded position, the platform takes up limited, uniform space for ease of portability by a single individual. Different users have different applications and requirements for how the platform is supported using stationary supporting legs or wheels when rolling capability are required. | 02-12-2015 |
