| 20100235101 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MONITORING A DRILLING OPERATION - The present invention provides a computer-implemented software tool that is adapted to listen continuously to data streams from a drilling operation and to process the data to generate a situation description for a current drilling situation in a form useful for automated continuous matching with a set of past cases stored in a knowledge database. The invention implements a case-based reasoning (CBR) approach to match the current drilling situation as defined by the situation description with one or more stored past cases having a degree of similarity above a predetermined threshold level. Matching cases are displayed to the drilling engineer as symbols on a case “radar”, allowing the drilling engineer to retrieve and view the details of a past case and take appropriate action based on drilling advice provided within the past case. | 09-16-2010 |

The tank has wheels or is carried on a wheeled chassis. In operation, the tank is wheeled to a desired location, the pump is powered and liquid fire retardant is sprayed onto the desired location through a hose and spray nozzle plumbed to the pump outlet. | 05-20-2010 |
| 20100286462 | Apparati and Method for Remediating Biologically Active Particles - The present invention provides a mixture and method for remediating air dispersed biological particles. The mixture contains a carrier, an active biocidal ingredient, and a deliquescent which are mixed, heated and then grinded into biocidal particles approximately 1-50 microns in size. The biocidal particles are then dispersed into the air infected with biological particles using an aerosol generator and similar device. The biocidal particles may be charged to attract the biological particles and the carrier assists in attaching to the biological particles. Upon exposure to ambient humidity the deliquescent dissolves and allows the active biocidal ingredient to react creating a chemical byproduct which attacks and remediates the biological particles. The present invention may utilize two mixtures with two separate active biocidal ingredients which react with one another to create the desired chemical byproduct such as chlorine dioxide. The chemical byproduct may be hydrogen peroxide. The active biocidal ingredient may be biocidal immediately through use of botanical active biocidal ingredients such as Cinnamon Leaf or Lemongrass. | 11-11-2010 |

| 20110318635 | CONTOURED BATTERY FOR IMPLANTABLE MEDICAL DEVICES AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURE - A battery having an electrode assembly located in a housing that efficiently utilizes the space available in many implantable medical devices is disclosed. The battery housing provides a cover and a shallow case a preferably planar, major bottom portion, an open top to receive the cover opposing the bottom portion, and a plurality of sides being radiused at intersections with each other and with the bottom to allow for the close abutting of other components located within the implantable device while also providing for efficient location of the battery within an arcuate edge of the device. The cover and the shallow case being substantially hermetically sealed by a laser weld technique and an insulator member disposed within the case to provide a barrier to incident laser radiation so that during welding radiation does not impinge upon radiation sensitive component(s) disposed within the case. | 12-29-2011 |

| 20090197180 | SPACERS BETWEEN TABS OF ELECTRODE PLATES IN AN ELECTROCHEMICAL CELL FOR AN IMPLANTABLE MEDICAL DEVICE - A battery (or cell) in an implantable medical device is presented. The cell includes a first electrode element with a first tab extending therefrom and a second electrode element with a second tab extending therefrom. A spacer is coupled to the first and second tabs. | 08-06-2009 |
| 20110247204 | INTEGRATED MANDREL - Provided is an electric storage battery including a jelly roll type electrode assembly having a mandrel. The mandrel includes a positive portion, a negative portion and a removable portion. In some embodiments, the mandrel is planar having two faces with a groove on each of the positive and negative portions. The grooves can be on the same or different faces of the mandrel. The grooves are dimensioned to accommodate a positive and negative feedthrough pin. The electrodes are wrapped around the mandrel using the removable portion to wind the mandrel. Once wrapped, the removable portion can be detached. The positive portion and the negative portion are left in the electrode assembly insulated from each other. The mandrel allows tighter wrapping of the jelly roll assembly, increasing battery miniaturization and also results in electrode assemblies in which after-placement of tabs does not result in burrs or shorting. | 10-13-2011 |

| 20080215861 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR EFFICIENT RESOURCE UTILIZATION FOR PRESCIENT INSTRUCTION PREFETCH - Embodiments of an apparatus, system and method enhance the efficiency of processor resource utilization during instruction prefetching via one or more speculative threads. Renamer logic and a map table are utilized to perform filtering of instructions in a speculative thread instruction stream. The map table includes a yes-a-thing bit to indicate whether the associated physical register's content reflects the value that would be computed by the main thread. A thread progress beacon table is utilized to track relative progress of a main thread and a speculative helper thread. Based upon information in the thread progress beacon table, the main thread may effect termination of a helper thread that is not likely to provide a performance benefit for the main thread. | 09-04-2008 |
