| 20090326723 | IRRIGATION CONTROL SYSTEM - An irrigation control system and method for controlling irrigation based on weather data. Weather data such as wind, temperature, solar radiation, humidity, and rainfall, may be collected at one or more weather stations for a region. The weather data may be compiled on a computer and transmitted to a paging broadcast service. The weather data may then be transmitted by the paging broadcast service to controller interfaces associated with irrigation systems throughout the region. The controller interfaces may adjust irrigation controllers associated with the irrigation systems based on the weather data such that the proper amount of water is applied. This allows the water to be used more efficiently and the health of the landscape to be improved. | 12-31-2009 |

| 20100063629 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR RECIRCULATING PARTS - This invention relates to a system and method for feeding and recirculating parts for vision-based pickup. The system and method have a feeder that automatically recirculates parts that are not picked by a robot. The system has a feeder bowl, ramp and interchangeable picking plate, all of which may be vibrated to both feed parts and cause recirculation. | 03-11-2010 |

| 20090081138 | CANCER CHEMOPROTECTIVE COMPOSITIONS AND NATURAL OILS AND METHODS FOR MAKING SAME - Cancer chemoprotective compositions containing reduced oil-content extraction meals made from plants containing natural oils and glucosinolates. The oil content of the extraction meals may be reduced using batchwise or continuous supercritical fluid extractions. Also provided are glucosinolate-rich compositions containing purified glucosinolates isolated from plant materials. The glucosinolate-rich compositions may be made by reducing the oil content of a plant materials containing natural oils and glucosinolates and isolating the glucosinolates from the reduced oil-content plant materials using a membrane extraction. Natural oils containing isothiocyanates are also provided. The natural oils are well-suited for use in skin and hair care products. | 03-26-2009 |

| 20090110819 | Surface Coating Process - A method of forming a film is provided. Nanoparticles are deposited on a surface of a substrate using a liquid deposition process. The nanoparticles are linked to each other and to the surface using linker molecules. A coating having a surface energy of less than 70 dyne/cm is deposited over the film to form a coated film. The coated film has an RMS surface roughness of 25 nm to 500 nm, a film coverage of 25% to 60%, a surface energy of less than 70 dyne/cm; and a durability of 10 to 5000 microNewtons. Depending on the particular environment in which the film is to be used, a durability of 10 to 500 microNewtons may be preferred. A film thickness 3 to 100 times the RMS surface roughness of the film is preferred. | 04-30-2009 |

| 20080274281 | Vapor deposited functional organic coatings deposited on a halogen-containing substrate - We have developed an improved vapor-phase deposition method and apparatus for the attachment of organic films/coatings containing a variety of functional groups on halogen-containing substrates. The substrate surface is halogenated using a vaporous halogen-containing compound, followed by a reaction with at least one organic molecule containing at least one nucleophilic functional group. Halogenation of the substrate surface and subsequent reaction with the organic molecule are carried out in the same process chamber in a manner such that the halogenated substrate surface does not lose its functionality prior to reaction with the nucleophilic functional group(s) on the organic molecule. | 11-06-2008 |
