| 20100010841 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR AUTOMATICALLY DETERMINING TRAVEL PRODUCT PRICE REBATES - A computer-implemented system and method are provided for automatically determining rebate eligibility for purchased products. In one example, the purchased products may be travel-rebated products such as booked air travel itineraries. A database stores purchase information associated with purchased products purchased at corresponding purchase prices. A product administration system having a computer software-based product administration application interacts with the database and purchase information of a first purchased product is compared with purchase information of subsequently purchased products. The product administration application interacts with the database to determine if the first purchased a product matches a subsequently purchased product based on a set of matching criteria. The first purchased product may be eligible for a rebate if the product administration application determines that the subsequently purchased product was purchased at a lower purchase price than the purchase price for the first purchased product. | 01-14-2010 |

| 20110294221 | CONTROL BRACKETING AND RESULTS HOLD - An automated immunoassay analyzer, or assay system, provides for frequent testing of control samples to verify that before and after a series of tests of patients' samples, the operation of the test equipment is accurate, thereby ensuring that the results of the series of patient tests are accurate. Operating the immunoassay analyzer in this manner will delay reporting clinical test results until the results are confirmed as accurate. This operation can be performed automatically by a random access immunoassay analyzer. | 12-01-2011 |

| 20090250397 | WATER SOFTENER WITH INTEGRATED WATER FILTRATION - Systems and methods for filtering and softening water in combination are disclosed. The systems may include a water filtering system, having a water filter and a water softening system connected to the water filtering system. In addition, a controller may be connected to the water filtering system and the water softening system via wired or wireless connections. The methods may include filtering incoming water, monitoring the hardness of the incoming water, and softening the incoming water when the water hardness is above a maximum level. Furthermore, the performance of the water filtering system may be altered in response to the performance of the water softening system. In addition, the performance of the water softening system may be altered in response to the performance of the water filtering system. | 10-08-2009 |

| 20090205431 | REINFORCED ELASTOMERIC DIAPHRAGM - A diaphragm is provided that includes a plurality of zonal portions that define reinforced and non-reinforced areas of the diaphragm. A first zonal portion extends from a marginal edge portion toward a central portion and is formed of a fabric material. A second zonal portion extends from the first zonal portion toward the central portion and is formed of an elastomer. A third zonal portion defines the central portion and is formed of a fabric material. The combination of reinforced and non-reinforced portions provides for a decrease in the radial tension (spring rate) of the diaphragm and helps prevent undesired changes to the flow control valve flow setpoint. | 08-20-2009 |
| 20100006165 | HYDRAULICALLY ACTUATED PNEUMATIC REGULATOR - A hydraulically actuated pneumatic regulator is configured to receive hydraulic fluid from a hydraulic source and pressurized air from a pressurized air source to control air pressure downstream of the pneumatic regulator. The hydraulically actuated pneumatic regulator includes a valve element, an actuator, and pneumatic-to-hydraulic servo. The actuator is adapted to receive one or more pneumatic control signals supplied by the pneumatic-to-hydraulic servo, and is operable, in response to the pneumatic control signals, to control the air pressure downstream of the pneumatic regulator. | 01-14-2010 |
| 20100301238 | BI-DIRECTIONAL OVERPRESSURE SHUT-OFF VALVE - A valve assembly includes a valve body, a valve element, a valve actuator, and a fluid-operated switch. The valve body defines a flow passage. The valve element is disposed at least partially within the flow passage and is moveable between an open position and a closed position. The valve actuator is coupled to the valve element and is responsive to pressurized fluid supplied thereto and vented therefrom to move the valve element between the open position and the closed position, respectively. The fluid-operated switch has a first fluid inlet, a second fluid inlet, a third fluid inlet, an actuator port, and an actuator vent port. The fluid-operated switch is in fluid communication with the valve actuator and is operable to selectively supply pressurized fluid to the actuator via the actuator port, and vent the pressurized fluid from the actuator via the actuator port and the actuator vent port. | 12-02-2010 |
