| 20090210747 | FAULT ISOLATION SYSTEM AND METHOD - A mechanism for isolating failures in a digital system is provided. In one embodiment, a fault table is defined for each unit in the system. Related faults are ordered within the table to reflect the time-order in which the faults would be activated during operation of the associated unit. When multiple related faults are reported for a given unit in the system, the fault that is first located when a linear search of the corresponding fault table is conducted is considered the source of the failure within the unit. If faults are reported for multiple units, the source of the failure for the system is identified using at least one of primary and second priority values assigned to the faults, timestamps obtained when the faults are reported, and an order in which the faults are logged. | 08-20-2009 |

| 20100246748 | NUCLEAR FUEL ASSEMBLY WITH PIVOT DIMPLED GRIDS - A soft pivot dimple nuclear fuel assembly grid that utilizes a “dog bone” shaped window cutout and radius coining of edges perpendicular to coolant flow, to reduce the susceptibility of fuel rod leaking during the reactor operation. Radius coining allows the fuel rod to smoothly transition over the radiused edge to the flat rod contact section of the dimple. The symmetric “dog bone” shape enables the dimple to pivot during rod loading resulting in improved alignment between the dimple and the fuel rod, thereby minimizing scratching. The “dog bone” shape also allows for a large contact area dimple to be softer than a typical dimple which reduces contact stresses and fretting wear during reactor operations. | 09-30-2010 |

| 20090320234 | Carpet cleaning wand having uniform air flow distribution - A novel suction head for a carpet cleaning wand wherein either or both of two designs are utilized. Each design utilizes a generally fan shaped internal suction channel that fares smoothly between an exhaust channel of substantially round cross section and lips of an intake opening having a much wider and substantially rectangular cross section. The internal suction channel utilized by one design is formed with a cross section that is non-uniform when viewed along the direction of air flow through the wand, which is a dramatic contrast to the uniform cross sections of known current designs. Another design utilizes an internal airfoil interrupting the internal suction channel along its centerline for diverting the air flow more towards the outside edges of the internal suction channel. | 12-31-2009 |

The system includes a pistol grip having front and rear handles, a barrel containing an injectable fluid, and a bottle mount integrated with the barrel for receiving and securing a bottle holder, the bottle mount including a conduit running from a spike tip that punctures a bung of the bottle into the barrel. The system further includes a needle coupling attached to the barrel adapted to receive and secure a needle and a plunger for assisting in drawing an injectable fluid from a bottle into the barrel and for forcing the injectable fluid out of the barrel. A ratcheting mechanism incrementally advances a selectable ultra-low dose of injectable fluid out of the barrel upon a full stroke of the pistol grip. A full stroke is defined as advancing the plunger forward by squeezing the front and rear handles together until the ratcheting mechanism stops the plunger from further advancing yet still allows the front and rear handles to be fully squeezed. | 07-01-2010 |
