| 20080291426 | OPTICAL MEASUREMENT OF SAMPLES - We disclose apparatus that includes: (a) an enclosure including an aperture; (b) a prism mounted in the enclosure so that a surface of the prism is exposed through the aperture; (c) an optical assembly contained within the enclosure, the optical assembly including a radiation source and a radiation detector, the source being configured to direct radiation towards the prism and the detector being configured to detect radiation from the source reflected from the exposed surface of the prism; and (d) an electronic processor contained within the enclosure, the electronic processor being in communication with the detector. The apparatus can be configured so that, during operation, the electronic processor determines information about a sample placed in contact with the exposed surface of the prism based on radiation reflected from the exposed prism surface while it is in contact with the sample. | 11-27-2008 |
| 20090237647 | PREPARING SAMPLES FOR OPTICAL MEASUREMENT - We disclose an apparatus comprising: a hand-portable optical analysis unit including an optical interface; and a device configured to receive and releasably engage the hand-portable optical analysis unit. The device comprises: a housing; a sample unit in the housing; and a resilient member configured to bias the sample unit and the hand-portable analysis unit towards each other when the hand-portable optical analysis unit is received in the device to compress a sample disposed between the sample unit and the optical interface of the optical analysis unit. Methods of analyzing samples are also disclosed. | 09-24-2009 |

The apparatus can be configured so that, during operation, the electronic processor determines information about a sample placed in contact with the exposed surface of the prism based on radiation reflected from the exposed prism surface while it is in contact with the sample. | 06-03-2010 |
| 20100302546 | OPTICAL MEASUREMENT OF SAMPLES - A portable device includes a base unit, an extension, and a mirror. The base unit includes a light source, a light detector, and at least one window through which light exits from, and is received by, the base unit. The extension is configured, during use, to be attached to the base unit and to extend from the at least one window, in a direction away from the base unit, the extension defining at least a portion of a sample volume in fluid communication with gases substantially surrounding one or more of the extension and the base unit. The mirror is attached to the extension at a distance from the at least one window. An optical path is defined between the mirror and the at least one window such that light from the light source moves through the sample volume along the optical path, and the mirror is aligned to reflect the light back to the at least one window for detection by the light detector. | 12-02-2010 |

| 20110218064 | BALL WITH ANOMALIES - A bouncy ball includes anomalies which, when bounced upon, causes the ball to bounce irregularly. The anomaly may comprise a solid protrusion formed integrally with an outer skin of the ball or a separate plug filled into a pocket formed in the outer skin. The shape of the protrusion may be partially spherical. The solid protrusion may also include elongate grooves, flat surfaces or any other desired shape, such as a star. The bouncy ball may also include a secondary bladder with inflatable anomalies. The secondary bladder is coupled to a generally spherical inner tube which may be formed with grooves to receive the secondary bladder. Outer skins may be coupled over the secondary bladder and inner tube. | 09-08-2011 |

| 20110100778 | PRESSURE PLATE - A pressure plate for use in a friction clutch assembly comprises a substantially flat annular coupling face for frictional engagement with a coupling face of a clutch plate and one or more discontinuities formed in the coupling face of the pressure plate. The discontinuity(ies) decrease a greater relative proportion of the surface area closer to an inner radius of the coupling face of the pressure plate than an outer radius of the coupling face of the pressure plate to increase a mean effective radius of the surface area. The discontinuity(ies) include a generally circumferential groove around an inner portion of the coupling face of the pressure plate and, at each end of the generally circumferential groove, a wiper portion of the coupling face of the pressure plate extending inwardly toward an axis of rotation of the pressure plate(s). | 05-05-2011 |

| 20090157703 | DISPLAY DEFINITIONS INTERFACE FOR AVIONICS COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEMS - A method for displaying data in an avionics communications system is disclosed. The method generates an ARINC 661 definition file and a user database from one or more user-defined inputs for a communications management function of an aircraft. To convey information relating the one or more user-defined inputs with at least one display of the aircraft, the method links one or more display attributes of the user database with the ARINC 661 definition file. Based on user interactions with the at least one display, the method updates display data of the at least one display using the contents of the ARINC 661 definition file and the user database. | 06-18-2009 |

| 20120072344 | TECHNIQUES FOR TRANSACTION ADJUSTMENT - Techniques are provided for transaction adjustment. A payment device, having an offline balance, is presented to an offline terminal in connection with a putative transaction. If an irregularity with the putative transaction is detected, the offline balance is adjusted responsive to the detection. In one aspect of the invention, such adjustment can be carried out, via offline-terminal interaction, substantially without the use of a security module and cryptographic keys in the offline terminal. | 03-22-2012 |
