20080262502MULTI-MEMBRANE PROSTHETIC NUCLEUS - Multi-membrane prosthetic nucleus and implants using same are disclosed having an outermost membrane that is semi-compliant and limits the innermost membrane and any intermediate membranes that are highly compliant from bulging out of any opening in the annulus fibrosus. The outermost membrane may help protect the innermost membrane from trauma including any trauma before the innermost membrane is expanded through the injection of prosthetic nucleus material and trauma during the expansion of the innermost membrane in response to the injection of prosthetic nucleus material. Also disclosed is a coated membrane which combines the mechanical properties of the foundation layer with the low permeability to the passage of the flowable prosthetic material of the coating. This coated membrane is semi-compliant and prevents the prosthetic nucleus from bulging out of any openings in the annulus fibrosus. Use is made of injected prosthetic nucleus material that changes to a non-flowable state.10-23-2008

20110047227MESSAGE-SERVICE AUDIENCE RESPONSE - A communication device may include a message-service communication logic configured to capture an incoming message-service message, where the message-service communication logic is further configured to compare at least a portion of the incoming message-service message to indicia to determine whether the incoming message-service message includes a user response to a polling question, and where the message-service communication logic is further configured to extract the user response from the message-service message. The communication device may further include a server communication logic configured to communicate to an audience response server response data including the user response.02-24-2011

20080284562Computer based guest monitoring and identification system and method - A guest monitoring and identification system is shown. The system comprises an RFID carried by a guest and includes therein programmed predetermined data identifying a guest. An activating transmitter transmits a monitoring signal over a designated area to be traversed by a guest having the RFID. A receiver receives from the RFID a transmitted data signal containing the programmed predetermined data identifying the guest. A guest identification and service information processor receives the transmitted data signal. The processor interprets the programmed predetermined data identifying a guest and generates data/information signals providing the name and service profile for an identified guest. A communication device communicates to service staff the name and service profile for an identified guest.11-20-2008

20110047482AUDIENCE RESPONSE WEB SERVER - An audience response web server may communicate polling data incorporating a polling question during an interactive polling session running on the audience response web server. During the interactive polling session running on the audience response web server, the audience response web server may also receive response data representing responses to the polling question. The audience response web server may also aggregate the responses to the polling question and communicate results data incorporating the aggregated responses to the polling question during the interactive polling session.02-24-2011

20110146616Noise Abatement Engine Cover - An engine cover and method of making the same with a textured surface with an in-mold coating. A noise abatement cover for top of an engine has a textured, in-mold coated, high quality outer appearance with a core of medium density polyurethane. The method of making the cover includes applying a mold release to grained aluminum tool and applying coating to at least one side of the grained aluminum tool to form an in-mold coating on the resulting engine cover, which is preferably a single piece.06-23-2011

20110017868AIRCRAFT CABIN PRESSURE CONTROL SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR AIRCRAFT HAVING MULTIPLE DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE LIMITS - A cabin pressure control system and method controls aircraft cabin pressure in aircraft having multiple cabin-to-atmosphere differential pressure limits. The control system and method ensures that the cabin pressure is automatically controlled during typical in-flight operations, as well as during pressurized landing operations and/or pressurized take-off operations, without exceeding the different cabin-to-atmosphere differential pressure limits that may be associated with these different operations.01-27-2011
20110057141POPPET VALVE FOR CABIN PRESSURE CONTROL SYSTEMS - A valve for use in a cabin pressure control system includes a valve body and a poppet. The valve body includes an inlet, an outlet, and a fluid flow passage therebetween. The poppet is disposed in the valve body. The poppet is moveable between at least a closed position, in which the poppet at least substantially restricts fluid from flowing through the fluid flow passage, and an open position, in which fluid is allowed to flow through the fluid flow passage. The valve body, the poppet, or both, have a fluorocarbon coating.03-10-2011
