20100090099 | Method and apparatus of uniform gas-phase molecular matrix deposition for imaging mass spectrometry - Disclosed are apparatus and methods for depositing solvent-free molecules on surfaces of samples, with particular application to imaging mass spectrometry. A vacuum chamber is configured to have controllable matrix translation apparatus for controlling the position of one or more solvent-free matrices within the chamber. Sublimation apparatus is used to sublimate molecules from the solid phase matrices. One or more samples are placed separately from the solvent-free matrices within the chamber. Condensation apparatus individually cools the samples to deposit sublimated molecules on the samples. Controllable sample translation apparatus is used to control the position of the samples within the chamber. Rotatable sample holding apparatus may be used to hold and move the samples to allow deposition of molecules on multiple samples at substantially the same time. Rotatable matrix holding apparatus may also be used to hold and move a plurality of matrices to create a homogenous mixture of molecules that are deposited onto one or more samples. As surface characterization system may be used to monitor deposition of the molecules to determine their thickness and roughness. A computer may be configured to control the matrix translation apparatus, the sublimation apparatus, the condensation apparatus, and the sample translation apparatus to provide for automated deposition of solvent-free molecules on the samples. | 04-15-2010 |

20110229338 | COMPRESSOR WHEEL - A compressor wheel for a turbocharger comprising a central hub and a plurality of impeller blades extending outwardly from the hub. Each of the blades defines a leading edge, a trailing edge and a root portion which connects the blade to the hub. At least one of the blades has a surface provided with a variable thickness surface layer of a ceramic material. The leading edge of the blade is provided with a thicker surface layer of the ceramic material than the trailing edge of the blade, the root portion of the blade, or both the trailing edge and root portion of the blade. | 09-22-2011 |

20100005692 | RE-ATTACHABLE CONTAINER IDENTIFIERS - This invention is a product for identifying wine transferred into glasses from a wine bottle by using removable labels that are packaged along with the wine bottle's labels. The invention allows one to identify the wine once it is poured into a glass and/or distinguish among multiple wine glasses into which the same wine is poured. Several embodiments of the invention are particularly suited to the practice of wine tasting, where it is important to identify the wine poured into a glass as well as distinguish between the glasses of different tasters. | 01-14-2010 |

20140180756 | Method and System for Modeling Workforce Turnover Propensity - Systems, methods and devices for modeling workforce turnover propensity is disclosed. The system can include a memory that stores instructions and a processor that executes the instructions to perform operations. The operations can include receiving questionnaire responses to a questionnaire that elicits a perception of employee turnover factors of a plurality of representatives, where the questionnaire responses are provided by one of company representatives, company workforce representatives or a combination thereof. The operations also can include selecting questionnaire responses of the representatives, calculating representative questionnaire scores and comparing the representative questionnaire scores to a statistical model. Further, the operations can include determining an employee turnover propensity based on comparing the representative questionnaire scores to the statistical model, where the employee turnover propensity indicates a likelihood that an employee will leave a particular job. | 06-26-2014 |
20140278656 | Service Level Model, Algorithm, Systems and Methods - Systems and methods for modeling staffing service levels in a workplace is disclosed. Such a system can include memory that stores instructions and a processor that executes the instructions to perform operations. The operations can include receiving questionnaire responses to a questionnaire that elicits a perception of staffing service level factors of a plurality of representatives, where the questionnaire responses are provided by one of company representatives, company workforce representatives or a combination thereof. The operations can also include selecting questionnaire responses of the representatives, determining an expected staffing service level, calculating representative questionnaire scores, comparing the representative questionnaire scores to a statistical model, and determining a staffing service level tendency based on comparing the representative questionnaire scores to the statistical model, where the staffing service level tendency indicates a likelihood that a maximum staffing service level will at least meet the expected staffing service level given the current circumstances of the company. | 09-18-2014 |
