| 20090206530 | Motorcycle Air Suspension System And Method - Air suspension systems, devices, apparatus, and methods for allowing motorcycle drivers to increase and decrease compressed air supplies in air suspension devices. Deflating interior air springs/airbags (bladders) inside the devices allows for springs and pistons on shock absorbers in the devices to expand outward separating lower front and rear frame portions which effectively lowers the motorcycle to the ground surface and for the driver to have a firmer ride. Inflating the air springs/airbags (bladders) allows for the springs and the pistons on the shock absorbers in the devices to retract into the devices so that the devices have a more shock absorbing effect giving the rider a smoother ride, which also raises the motorcycles above the ground surface. | 08-20-2009 |

An index may be created, which may include selecting financial objects based on accounting data and/or weighting the financial objects based on accounting data. A portfolio may be created based on the index. A plurality of investment managers may manage a plurality of accounts for a plurality of investors. The investors may directly hold assets in the accounts so that the investors may take advantage of any tax benefits generated by transactions using the assets in the accounts. An investor(s) may have one or more accounts and thus one or more managers. A manager may have one or more investors and thus one or more accounts to manage. A virtual mutual fund manager may use a holdings matrix and a lot matrix to track the asset lots in the accounts. When a manager wishes to make a trade affecting an investor, the virtual mutual fund manager may determine which asset lots held by the investor should be used to execute the trade. Optionally, each investor may be associated with a tax-managed account. The tax-managed account may be used by the virtual fund manager to make deferred “paper” trades thereby avoiding certain adverse tax consequences that may be created when an investor has multiple managers. Optionally, each investor may allow loss-harvesting trades to be executed on his or her behalf in circumstances where such trades may reduce the investor's tax obligations. | 03-11-2010 |

| 20100287116 | Non-capitalization weighted indexing system, method and computer program product - An investment system based on indices created from various metrics is disclosed. The indexes may be built by selecting from a universe of assets, a subset using selection metrics primarily substantially independent of market capitalization weighting, price weighting or equal weighting. These metrics may include, but are not limited to book value, sales, revenue, debt to equity adjusted sales, earnings, earnings per share, EBITDA, income, income growth rate, any dividends, any dividends per share, any dividend yield, any distribution to holders, buybacks, cumulative retained cashflow, earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization, employees, demographics, etc. Non-financial metrics may also be used to build indexes, which may be used to create investment systems. Additionally, a combination of financial non-market capitalization metrics may be used along with non-financial metrics to create passive investment systems. Once the index is built, it may be used as a basis to purchase securities for a portfolio. As the data underlying the indexes change because of, e.g., economic activity, the index may be updated and may be used as a basis to rebalance the portfolio. Several time periods may be averaged. Alternatively, the index can be rebalanced when a pre-determined threshold is reached, or on a periodic or aperiodic basis. Specifically excluded are widely-used capitalization-weighted indexes and price-weighted indexes, in which the price of a security contributes in a substantial way to the selection of the constituents in the index or the portfolio. Valuation indifferent indexes of the present invention avoid overexposure to overvalued securities and underexposure to undervalued securities, as compared with conventional capitalization-weighted and price-weighted. | 11-11-2010 |

| 20090056535 | PARTICLE SEPARATION - Embodiments of a method for selecting particles, such as based on their morphology, is disclosed. In a particular example, the particles are charged and acquire different amounts of charge, or have different charge distributions, based on their morphology. The particles are then sorted based on their flow properties. In a specific example, the particles are sorted using a differential mobility analyzer, which sorts particles, at least in part, based on their electrical mobility. Given a population of particles with similar electrical mobilities, the disclosed process can be used to sort particles based on the net charge carried by the particle, and thus, given the relationship between charge and morphology, separate the particles based on their morphology. | 03-05-2009 |
| 20100020323 | INSTRUMENT FOR MEASURING PARTICLE PARAMETERS - Values for one or more particle properties, such as an aerosol asymmetry parameter g, can be measured directly using a detector that measures scattered light. The detector can comprise two or more diffusers coupled to optical sensors responsive to scattered light that is incident on the surfaces of the diffusers. One or more weighing functions can be obtained based on diffuser geometry. In an example, the diffusers correspond to quadrants of a circular toroid. | 01-28-2010 |
