20120085693AUTOMATIC TILTING OIL SKIMMER FRAME - An oil skimmer includes a frame for attaching a porous collection bag. The frame automatically tilts in response to water flow, relative to the frame, and the frame automatically returns to its original (“neutral”) position when the water flow ceases. In the tilted position, the frame orients a portion of the mouth of the bag below the surface of the water, so the bag collects floating contaminants. However, in the neutral position, the frame orients the mouth of the bag upward and such that the mouth is above the surface of the water to prevent previously captured contaminants from escaping from the bag and floating away. Optionally, the frame may be releasably locked in the neutral position to facilitate bag replacement or when no collection is desired. The skimmer may be mounted between hulls of a catamaran.04-12-2012

20090194093BAFFLE-TYPE GREASE FILTERS FOR KITCHEN VENTILATORS - A grease filter has upper and lower baffle assemblies that define tortuous paths for exhaust air flowing therethrough. The baffles in the upper assembly include a perforated metal strips and bent free edges to maximize grease extraction from the exhaust air. A hinge connects the upper and lower baffle assemblies and permits the assemblies to pivot from a closed position to an open position. In the open position, access is provided to all surfaces of the assemblies so that they can be efficiently cleaned.08-06-2009

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080292316Method and Apparatus for Reducing Crosstalk in a DWDM Transmission System - A method and apparatus is provided for transmitting a WDM optical signal. The method begins by modulating a plurality of optical channels that are each located at a different wavelength from one another with a respective one of a plurality of information-bearing electrical signals The channel spacings between adjacent ones of the plurality of optical channels are selected such that the optical channels give rise to selected FWM terms that lie outside a channel bandwidth of the optical channels. Each of the modulated optical channels is multiplexed to form a WDM optical signal. The WDM optical signal is then forwarded onto an optical transmission path.11-27-2008

20080218514METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR GENERATING AND INTERFACING WITH A HAPTIC VIRTUAL REALITY ENVIRONMENT - A method for generating a haptic interactive representation including the steps of defining a haptic interaction space and building a hierarchical construct, for use within the haptic interaction space, using a plurality of underlying constructs. In one embodiment the method includes determining the forces to be applied to a user by generating a haptic interactive, sensing a position of a user in real space, determining a haptic interface location in the haptic interaction space in response to the position of the user in real space and determining whether the virtual object collides with the haptic interface location. The invention also relates to a method for interacting with a haptic interactive representation. The method includes creating a haptic process having the haptic interactive representation, associating a callback with the haptic process, connecting to a second process which interacts with the haptic process and associating the callback which is associated with the haptic process with the second process. The method further includes requesting the callback by the second process, and returning, by the haptic process through the callback to the second process, at least one parameter associated with the haptic interactive representation.09-11-2008

20090201247Communications with a Haptic Interface Device from a Host Computer - The present invention comprises methods and apparatuses that can provide reliable communications between a computer and a haptic interface device. The methods and apparatuses can provide communication that is more secure against errors, failures, or tampering than previous approaches.

The host computer must be able to communicate with the haptic device in a robust and safe manner. The present invention includes a novel method of accomplishing such communication; a computer-readable medium that, when applied to a computer, causes the computer to communicate according to such a method; and a computer system having a host computer and a haptic device communicating according to such a method.08-13-2009

20110202856Systems and methods for interfacing with a virtual object in a haptic virtual environment - A user of a modeling application modifies an initial virtual object using a sketch drawn on one or more construction planes. Typically, construction planes are connected by an axis that intersects the virtual object. The user can draw a sketch on each construction plane, and the modeling application interpolates a shape along the axis between the sketches to determine what material in the virtual object is to be removed from it. In this manner, material may be removed to create a recess or hole in the virtual object or otherwise to slice away material from the object. A user can use two or more axes and construction planes to produce complex shapes from the initial virtual object. A user can also select a portion of a virtual object and mirror the selected portion. Modifications that the user makes in the selected portion are made correspondingly in the mirrored portion.08-18-2011
