| 20090123313 | Net-Displacement Control Of Fluid Motors And Pumps - Methods for controlling the net-displacement of a rotary fluid pressure device are disclosed. One of the net-displacement control methods ( | 05-14-2009 |
| 20100080721 | ROTARY FLUID DEVICE WITH MULTI-LEVEL PHASE SHIFT CONTROL - A method for controlling a rotary fluid device includes providing a rotary fluid device having a fluid displacement assembly and a plurality of control valves. The fluid displacement assembly includes a first member and a second member. The first and second members have relative movement and define a plurality of volume chambers. The plurality of control valves is in fluid communication with the plurality of volume chambers. A desired displacement is received. A relative position of the first and second members is determined. An optimal displacement family is selected from a plurality of displacement families that is based on peak displacements of a plurality of displacement curves. A phase shift angle for the optimal displacement family is selected so that an actual displacement of the fluid displacement assembly approaches the desired displacement. The control valves of the rotary fluid device are actuated in accordance with the phase shift angle. | 04-01-2010 |

| 20080284591 | SYSTEM FOR MONITORING UNSUPERVISED WORKERS AND GENERATING AND DELIVERING A REPORT BASED ON THE MONITORED ACTIVITY - A system for monitoring an unsupervised worker is provided that includes a plurality of sensors and a base station provided at the monitored location, a service provider server located remotely from the monitored location and operated by a third party service provider, and a computing device associated with a subscriber to the system. At least a portion of the sensed data is sent to and stored by the service provider server so that a report based thereon may, at the request of the system subscriber, be selectively generated and provided to the system subscriber. The computing device is also adapted to generate configuration data for one or more of the sensors and transmit the configuration data to the service provider server. The configuration data is then sent to the base station and used to control the operation of the sensors | 11-20-2008 |
| 20100046857 | ORIENTATION DEPENDENT RADIATION SOURCE AND METHODS - Improvements to the art of orientation measurement are disclosed whereby the phase angle of each of the plurality of orientation dependent radiation patterns is measured at a single common and unique point of measurement on the observation surface and correspondingly in the image of the observation surface, and whereby a central landmark is located at the point of measurement without loss of accuracy in the determination of the plurality of phase angles of orientation dependent radiation so that the precise point of measurement can be determined in the image without errors introduced by an offset between the positions of landmarks and the position of phase angle measurement. Additionally, the preferred embodiment provides characteristics of the central landmark and other landmarks of the orientation dependent radiation source which provide a means to resolve the cosine ambiguity, which is known to those skilled in the arts of image-based orientation measurement as a challenge and source of error for prior-art image-based orientation measurement means. | 02-25-2010 |

| 20110079671 | Coreless Tissue Rolls and Method of Making the Same - Coreless tissue rolls can be produced without having to use an adhesive to form a hollow center. Instead, moisture can be used to promote light hydrogen bonding between the layers of the tissue web that line the hollow center. The hydrogen bonding provides sufficient structure to maintain the shape of the hollow center without rendering the tissue web surrounding the passageway unusable. Passageways can also be formed in accordance with the present disclosure that are substantially circular so that the rolls will easily spin on a spindle. In an alternative embodiment, moisture is not used in constructing the wound tissue roll. | 04-07-2011 |

| 20110103997 | ATTRITED TITANIUM POWDER - A method of increasing the apparent density of agglomerated ligmental titanium or titanium alloy powder produced by the subsurface reduction of titanium tetrachloride vapor or a mixture of titanium tetrachloride and other halide vapors in a flowing stream of alkali or alkaline earth metal or mixtures thereof having a first apparent density after distillation is disclosed. The agglomerated ligmental titanium or titanium alloy powder is introduced into an attriting system wherein the agglomerated ligmental titanium or titanium alloy powder is attrited until the powder becomes more spherical than ligmental and the first apparent density is increased by a factor of from about 3 to about 8. Inert atmosphere may be used to prevent unwanted oxygen contamination. | 05-05-2011 |

| 20100206364 | LONGITUDINAL FRAME MEMBER AND SPLINE - A frame includes longitudinal members secured to one another. The longitudinal members support a spline that is normally open in a first position to provide a cavity. A fabric, such a mesh screen, is arranged over the frame so that the perimeter of the screen is received within the cavities of the longitudinal members. A movable platen is actuated to engage the spline. The splines are forced into the cavities to a second position in which the perimeter of the screen is pinched between the splines and the longitudinal members. A radius nose of the splines is retained in a channel of the longitudinal members securing the screen without tearing it when under load. | 08-19-2010 |

| 20080266206 | Modular System for a Display Panel Assembly - A modular system for a display panel assembly includes modular frame members connectable to form a network. Bus bars are connectable to the frame members and are configured to at least partially support the frame members in a row or column of frame members in the network. Modular display units are connectable to the frame members to form a display panel assembly. | 10-30-2008 |

| 20100195802 | X-RAY FLUX MANAGEMENT DEVICE - The invention is directed to an x-ray flux management device that adaptively attenuates an x-ray beam to limit the incident flux reaching a subject and radiographic detectors in potentially high-flux areas while not affecting the incident flux and detector measurements in low-flux regions. While the invention is particularly well-suited for CT, the invention is also applicable with other x-ray imaging systems. In addition to reducing the required detector system dynamic range, the present invention provides an added advantage of reducing radiation dose. | 08-05-2010 |

| 20090095801 | Methods and Apparatus for Manufacture of a Reclosable Plastic Carton - A carton formed from a unitary blank for storing food within and methods of manufacture of the carton therefrom, are disclosed herein. The carton comprises a generally rectangular bottom having a pair of major bottom flaps and a pair of minor bottom flaps that are folded to form a substantially closed bottom, and a pair of major side panels, a pair of minor side panels, and a secondary side panel that are folded perpendicular to the bottom. An opening is defined by the upper ends of the major side panels and the minor side panels opposite the bottom and is generally non-rectangular. | 04-16-2009 |
