| 20100204891 | ACCELERATION CONTROL FOR VEHICLES HAVING A LOADER ARM - A control system for a vehicle having a loader arm, such as a skid steer loader, telescopic handler, wheel loader, backhoe loader or forklift, reads a load height sensor, a load weight sensor; dynamically calculates the static center of gravity of the combined vehicle and load; calculates the acceleration necessary to cause the dynamic center of gravity of the combined vehicle and load to extend exterior of the vehicle's stability polygon; and limits the acceleration of the vehicle to less than the acceleration necessary to cause the dynamic center of gravity of the combined vehicle and load to extend exterior of the vehicle's stability polygon. | 08-12-2010 |
| 20110088961 | ELECTRONIC THROTTLE ON CONTROL HANDLE - A steering and engine speed control mechanism for operating a vehicle. The control mechanism has a control handle mounted on the vehicle. The control handle is configured to deflect about an axis by movement of an operator's hand. A steering direction of the vehicle is related to a deflection angle of the control handle about the axis. An actuating element for changing the speed of the engine of the vehicle is attached to the control handle and is conveniently movable by an operator's digit to a plurality of positions to effect the desired speed of the engine. | 04-21-2011 |

| 20110117973 | RADIATED POWER CONTROL SYSTEMS AND METHODS IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION DEVICES - Embodiments include systems and methods for controlling radiation of radio frequency (RF) energy by a wireless communication device that includes a transmitter, an antenna, a vector field sensor, and a processing system. The transmitter produces an analog RF signal, and the antenna radiates the analog RF signal into an environment. The vector field sensor senses an intensity of a vector field resulting from the analog RF signal radiated by at least the antenna (and possibly other portions of the device). The processing system determines whether a value representing the intensity is greater than a first threshold, and when the value is greater than the first threshold, the processing system causes the radiated RF energy produced by the wireless communication device to be decreased. | 05-19-2011 |

| 20090056203 | BRANCHED CARBOXYLIC ACIDS AS FUEL LUBRICITY ADDITIVES - Certain branched carboxylic acids may serve as improved lubricity additive compositions in distillate fuels, and in particular for cold weather applications. Suitable branched carboxylic acids may include, but are not necessarily limited to, isostearic acid, neodecanoic acid, isononanoic acid, neononanoic acid, neoundecanoic acid, isovaleric acid, pivalic acid, and the like and mixtures thereof. The branched carboxylic acids may be used alone or together with straight chain carboxylic acids, and optionally with an aromatic solvent. | 03-05-2009 |

| 20100325944 | Additives for Cetane Improvement in Middle Distillate Fuels - The cetane number of middle distillate fuels may be increased using an additive composition including a polymer that may be a homopolymer or copolymer of olefins, and the like, where the polymer has a weight average molecular weight ranging from about 200,000 to about 5,000,000. The additive composition also includes a free radical initiator component, which may be an alkyl nitrate such as 2-ethylhexylnitrate (2-EHN), and/or a peroxide, such as t-butyl peroxide. In one non-limiting embodiment the amount of polymer in the additive composition is greater than the free radical initiator component. A solvent is also present, which the solvent may include alcohol, an alkyl substituted phenol and/or a heavy aromatic distillate. | 12-30-2010 |

| 20100199257 | Automated Partitioning of a Computation for Parallel or Other High Capability Architecture - A method and a system for transformation-based program generation using two separate specifications as input: An implementation neutral specification of the desired computation and a specification of the execution platform. The generated implementation incorporates execution platform opportunities such as parallelism. Operationally, the invention has two broad stages. First, it designs the abstract implementation in the problem domain in terms of an Intermediate Language (IL) that is unfettered by programming language restrictions and requirements. Concurrently, the design is evolved by specializing the IL to encapsulate a plurality of desired design features in the implementation such as partitioning for multicore and/or instruction level parallelism. Concurrently, constraints that stand in for implied implementation structures are added to the design and coordinated with other constraints. Second, the IL is refined into implementation code. With this invention, porting an implementation neutral computation to an arbitrary architecture can be automated. | 08-05-2010 |
| 20100205589 | Non-Localized Constraints for Automated Program Generation - A method and a system for non-locally constraining a plurality of related but separated program entities (e.g., a loop operation and a related accumulation operation within the loop's scope) such that any broad program transformation affecting both will have the machinery to assure that the changes to both entities will preserve the invariant properties of and dependencies among them. For example, if a program transform alters one entity (e.g., re-expresses an accumulation operation as a vector operation incorporating some or all of the loop's iteration) the constraint will provide the machinery to assure a compensating alteration of the other entities (e.g., the loop operation is reduced to reflect the vectorization of the accumulation operation). One realization of this method comprises specialized instances of the related entities that while retaining their roles as program entities (i.e., operators), also contain data and machinery to define the non-local constraint relationship. | 08-12-2010 |

| 20100250286 | QUANTIFICATION OF RESPONSES RECEIVED DURING MEDICAL TRIAGE - A method of determining a medical triage disposition for a person includes providing to a triage operator through a graphical user interface (GUI) of the computer: (i) a plurality of triage categories each including yes/no questions grouped into tiers that are ranked according to urgency and corresponding to a triage disposition; (ii) a selection of a relevant triage category based on a medical condition of the person; (iii) a quantification tool including follow-up questions related to symptoms, observations, and/or injury mechanisms, to enable the triage operator to quantify a level of severity of a symptom or injury related to yes/no questions of a subjective nature; wherein the triage operator determines a triage disposition for the person by providing triage to the person including: (i) asking, sequentially, the yes/no questions for the relevant triage category as displayed in the GUI; and (ii) asking follow-up questions from the quantification tool to determine whether a response to a yes/no question is properly considered “yes” or “no,” as stated in a response by the person. | 09-30-2010 |
