Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20120109547COMPREHENSIVE METHOD OF ELECTRICAL FLUID HEATING SYSTEM FAULT DETECTION AND HANDLING - A method and system are provided to eliminate the risk of over temperature concerns associated with electrical heating devices, which if undetected may result in an electrical over temperature condition. The electrical heating system may be applied to the detection and control structure of other automotive electrical loads where thermal concerns may exist. The electrical heating system combines several layers of fault detection strategies, to form a unique comprehensive approach to prevent and detect potential electrical fault conditions, which if undetected and/or controlled may result in an electrical over temperature condition.05-03-2012

20080219959Support Having Nanostructured Titanium Dioxide Film And Uses Thereof - The present invention relates to supports for bioassays and the use thereof in cell culturing and in cell-based methods and assays. More precisely, the invention provides solid materials coated with films of nanostructured titanium dioxide suitable for the immobilisation of viruses and for cell-adhesion. The nanostructured TiO2 film-coated support of the invention is particularly useful for the preparation of microarrays for genetic and phenotypic analysis.09-11-2008

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110301835PORTABLE VACATION/TRAVEL PLANNER, AND FAMILY TOUR GUIDE DEVICE - A portable device for planning a vacation/business travel itinerary, which begins with customizable itinerary templates that utilize a stored database of destination information, including a country's regions/cities, tourist sites, and other sites of interest located therein, and a corresponding photographic library. One such template returns itineraries based upon: duration, arrival/departure cities, total number of cities to be visited, and intensity of touring. The software assists users during travel by providing cueing of itinerary segments, along with directions, and on-demand pre-recorded audio tours to enhance site tour experiences. En route detours from planned sites are supported for spontaneous additions/substitutions. Country-specific information includes city/regional maps, public transportation information, key word/phrase language translation capability, and yellow/white page phone listings. Password protected device-to-device linking permits family members to track each other by GPS location of the other's device. Internet capability permits inclusion, within itineraries, of reservation-specific information for air-travel, hotels, and events.12-08-2011

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100094480APPARATUS AND A METHOD FOR A POWER TRANSMISSION SYSTEM - An apparatus for reducing subsynchronous resonance phenomena in a power transmission system. A determining arrangement determines components of the voltage from stator windings of a generator with one or more discrete frequencies. A calculating arrangement calculates, on a basis of the result of the determining, a voltage to be added to the voltage from the stator windings for reducing phenomena in the power system and an arrangement adapted to add the voltage calculated to the voltage from the stator windings.04-15-2010

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110030187Pool Skimmer Accessory System - A pool skimmer accessory system comprises a skimmer accessory for enabling the removal and replacement of a pool skimmer cover and retrieval of a skimmer from a pool skimmer chamber. The skimmer accessory includes an elongate shaft member with a handle portion disposed at a first end thereof and a tapered region disposed at a second end thereof. Disposed in or adjacent to the tapered region is a cut-out section that extends toward the interior of the shaft member. The accessory allows a user to access a pool skimmer and skimmer cover from a safe distance such that the user is not directly subjected to debris or dangerous insects or animals that may be concealed under the skimmer cover.02-10-2011

20100101160Method and Apparatus for Increasing the Energy Dissipation of Structural Elements - According to one embodiment, the energy dissipation of a structural element is increased by inserting one or more resisting elements into the structural element at any time during or after construction of the structural element. The continuous resisting elements are rigidly attached to the structural at one end and connected to the structural element by and through a damping material over at least a portion of its length. When a dynamic force is applied to the structural elements, such as may result from wind or earthquakes, there will be a strain in the structure, in a direction parallel with the longitudinal direction of the resisting elements. In this way, the forces and deformations within the structure will result in a relative motion between the structural element and resisting element, a substantial portion of which is ultimately transmitted by and through the damping material layer. In transmitting such a force and movement through the damping material layer, a portion of the energy associated with such force and movement is dissipated.04-29-2010
