| 20090187822 | SYSTEM AUDITING FOR SETUP APPLICATIONS - A verification architecture for verifying that a setup application (or installer) for installing, modifying, repairing and uninstalling an application properly deploys the desired features in complex computing environments. The extensible framework allows all facets of an API to be customized for the needs of any software product. An explorer user interface facilitates viewing and managing the data that represents the behavior of the installer in the targeted environment. The explorer allows the user to make changes either on a single item or a large number of items all at once. The explorer can display the differences between two different executions of the tool, and then allow the user to view each individual difference and update the expected behavior in the environment based on the data presented. This solution applies to businesses that plan on releasing a software product which include multiple configurations and/or is intended to deploy on multiple platforms. | 07-23-2009 |

| 20110221610 | Smart chip radio - The present invention, the Smart Chip Radio, provides a smart chip or electronic sensor into a vehicle's audio system. This chip or sensor senses the siren of an approaching emergency vehicle even when the driver cannot. It then either reduces the audio system's volume or shuts down the audio system until the siren is fully audible to the driver, and the danger has passed. Thus, the car's Smart Chip Radio system knows of an emergency vehicle's approach, and turns down or turns off the on-board audio equipment to alert the driver to the approach of the emergency vehicle. | 09-15-2011 |

| 20100266063 | SYSTEM, METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MOBILE TRANSMIT DIVERSITY USING SYMMETRIC PHASE DIFFERENCE - Communication is performed for a first communication device having a set of antenna elements. A quality-indication signal is received from a second communication device (e.g., a basestation). A complex weighting is calculated based on the quality-indication signal. A pre-transmission signal is modified based on the complex transmit diversity weighting to produce a set of modified-pre-transmission signals, wherein the modifications are symmetric by making approximately half the magnitude of the transmit diversity modification to one signal in a first direction, and approximately half the magnitude of the transmit diversity modification to the other signal in a second direction, opposite the first direction. Each modified pre-transmission signal from the set of modified-pre-transmission signals is uniquely associated with an antenna element from the set of antenna elements. The set of modified-pre-transmission signals is sent from the set of antenna elements to produce a transmitted signal. | 10-21-2010 |

| 20100287947 | Acoustically Tuned Combustion for a Gas Turbine Engine - A fuel nozzle for a turbine engine has a central body member with a pilot, a surrounding barrel housing, a mixing duct and an air inlet duct. The fuel nozzle additionally has a main fuel injection device located between the air inlet duct and the mixing duct. The main fuel injection device is configured to introduce a flow of fuel into the barrel member to create a fuel/air mixture which is then premixed with a swirler. The fuel/air mixture then further mixes in the mixing duct and exits the nozzle into a combustor for combustion. The geometry of the fuel nozzle ensures that pressure waves from the combustor do not create a time varying fuel to air equivalence ratio in the flow through the nozzle that achieves a resonance with the pressure waves. | 11-18-2010 |

| 20100154424 | Low cross-talk gas turbine fuel injector - A pilot assembly for a fuel injector of a gas turbine engine may include a longitudinal passageway having an outlet end. A mass flow in the longitudinal passageway may generally flow towards the outlet end during operation of the engine. The pilot assembly may also include a liquid fuel nozzle that is positioned to direct a mixture of liquid fuel and air near the outlet end, and a compressed air inlet that is configured to direct air compressed by a compressor of the engine to a compressor discharge pressure into the longitudinal passageway without a substantial loss of pressure. The longitudinal passageway may also include a flow restriction section. The flow restriction section may be a narrowed section of the longitudinal passageway, in which an upstream side of the flow restriction section may have compressed air at substantially the compressor discharge pressure and a downstream side may have air at a lower pressure and a higher velocity. The pilot assembly may further include a nozzle for injecting one of assist air or gaseous fuel into the longitudinal passageway. The nozzle may be positioned at the flow restriction section or on an upstream side of the flow restriction section to reduce cross-talk. | 06-24-2010 |
