| 20110104004 | SPORT BALL SANITIZER - An apparatus for sanitizing a sport ball includes a container that receives the sport ball and at least one germicidal light source coupled to the container. The at least one germicidal light source emits germicidal wavelength light onto the sport ball within the container during operation of the apparatus. Alternatively, the apparatus includes a germicidal light-transparent receptacle that receives the sport ball and a plurality of germicidal light sources coupled to the germicidal light-transparent receptacle. The plurality of germicidal light sources emit germicidal wavelength light, at least in part through the germicidal light-transparent receptacle, onto each location on the surface of the ball for at least a predetermined intensity-time. | 05-05-2011 |

| 20080223651 | Power train for a utility vehicle - A power train for a vehicle includes a gearbox with an input shaft and an output shaft and is configured such that the input shaft drives the output shaft at a single speed ratio in a first direction and a single speed ratio in a second direction. The output shaft is coupleable with the front and rear vehicle axles to separately drive each axle. Further, a continuously variable transmission is connected with an engine shaft and with the gearbox input shaft such that the engine shaft drives the input shaft within a range of speed ratios from less than 1 to greater than 3. Front and rear differentials are coupled with each axle and with the output shaft and drive the axles at different speed ratios such that a base surface drives the front axle independently of the front differential when at least one rear wheel rolls upon the surface. | 09-18-2008 |

| 20100095203 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR INCORPORATING VISUAL DELTAS FOR NEW DOCUMENTS BASED ON PREVIOUS CONSUMPTION - In one embodiment, a method includes obtaining a first document that includes at least a first section, and displaying the first document on a display screen. The method also includes determining when the first section has been consumed. Such a determination includes a determination of whether the first section has been displayed on the display screen. If the first section is determined to have been displayed on the display screen, the method also includes providing an indication that the first section has been consumed. | 04-15-2010 |

| 20090222742 | CONTEXT SENSITIVE COLLABORATION ENVIRONMENT - A system (and corresponding method) that enables establishment of an immersive collaborative environment is provided. The immersive collaborative environment represents a context-based virtual rendering of a user environment. More particularly, the virtual rendering can be associated with project or activity specific ‘rooms’ or ‘spaces.’ Within the virtual space, a resources such as data, applications and contacts can be made dynamically available to a user based upon the user context at any given moment. For example, the rendering can be employed in a business or other activity production workflow scenario thereby enhancing efficiency and productivity. | 09-03-2009 |
| 20090251457 | REACTIVE VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENT - A system (and corresponding method) is provided that enables virtual spaces to be created based upon user activity and populated with users associated with, interested in or active within the same areas as the user, thus facilitating serendipitous interactions and exchange of knowledge. The system dynamically binds user representations (e.g., avatars, links) into a virtual space that is associated with an activity or topic. Essentially, the system is capable of dynamically gathering or generating representations of users associated with a workflow or tasks within an activity, project or topic thereby enhancing collaboration between users with regard to communications as well as generation and sharing of data. | 10-08-2009 |
| 20090307189 | ASYNCHRONOUS WORKFLOW PARTICIPATION WITHIN AN IMMERSIVE COLLABORATION ENVIRONMENT - A system (and corresponding method) that enables establishment of a record associated with an immersive collaborative environment is provided. The record represents events and actions that occur within the virtual environment. Additionally, the system enables a user to modify the record following the initial capture. Upon modification, the record is ‘time-shifted’ such that the resultant record is a seamless chronological rendition of events and actions that occurred within the immersive collaborative environment or virtual workspace. | 12-10-2009 |

| 20090276492 | SUMMARIZATION OF IMMERSIVE COLLABORATION ENVIRONMENT - A system (and corresponding method) that enables automatic (and/or manual) summarization of significant events that occur within a collaborative discussion is provided. The summarization promotes efficient review and asynchronous participation where a user can trigger playback of a series of events that occurred within a discussion. The system can automatically summarize ‘high points’ or significant events from within an immersive collaborative environment. ‘World-marks’ or other tags can be employed to mark, locate and/or render the summarized content. | 11-05-2009 |

| 20110033946 | DETECTION OF SHORT-CHAIN FATTY ACIDS IN BIOLOGICAL SAMPLES - Described herein is a method of detecting and/or quantifying analytes, such as short-chain fatty acids. Analysis for the presence and/or quantity of the small molecule can be performed on a biological sample from a subject. In some embodiments, a liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) instrumentation is combined with a solid-phase extraction (SPE). Methods of derivatization can also be incorporated with LC-MS/MS and SPE instrumentation to detect and quantify target analytes. In addition to derivation, methods of reconstituting derivatized molecules can also be incorporated with LC-MS/MS and SPE instrumentation to detect and quantify target analytes. | 02-10-2011 |

| 20080295010 | Systems and Methods for Incorporating Data Into Digital Files - Software systems and methods may be provided for adding data, such as position information, to digital images stored on a computing device. A software system may be provided for integrating information from various sources on a computing device. In preferred embodiments, the software resides on a personal digital assistant (PDA) or other portable computing devices. The software may integrate information from a GPS device and a digital camera so that each image downloaded to the computing device is labeled with position information regarding where the image was taken. The software may automate and monitor downloading of images to the computing device. Once data is downloaded to the computing device, the software may automatically create a data record or allow a user to edit an existing data record to include the new images. | 11-27-2008 |
