20120125443WATER COLLECTION AND DISTRIBUTION MONITORING SYSTEM AND METHODS - The invention relates to a grey water reclamation system and methods therefor. Grey water is captured from a source, such as a sink, and stored in a main body containing a pump. The grey water is transported to a flush tank for use with a toilet. The system provides for use of a mixture of fresh water and grey water without interrupting the service to the user. Usage of grey water is maximized without completely eliminating the fresh water as a component that ensures service when grey water is unavailable.05-24-2012

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090002782SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONVERTING OVER-RANGE COLORS - A method includes dividing an input range of color values of a first color space into a plurality of sub-ranges, wherein at least one of the sub-ranges comprises an over-range color value. The method also includes determining for each sub-range a level of accuracy in converting color values within each sub-range. The method further includes determining a processing step to be applied to input color values in each sub-range based on the determined level of accuracy.01-01-2009
20110075222SMOOTHLY CHANGING GRAY LEVELS IN COLOR TRANSFORMS - Systems and methods, including computer software products, for processing gray colors in a conversion between color spaces involve identifying a non-pure gray color value in a color space that represents a substantially gray color. The methods further include converting the non-pure gray color value to a corresponding pure gray color value in the color space. The methods also include determining a first difference vector between the non-pure gray color value and the corresponding pure gray color value. The methods further include determining a distance between the corresponding pure gray color value and a selected color value. The corresponding pure gray color value represents a nearest pure gray color value to the selected color value. The methods also includes determining a correction factor based on the first difference vector and the distance and applying the correction factor to the selected color value to produce a corrected color value.03-31-2011

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110284023ORTHODONTIC FLOSSER - An orthodontic flosser comprising an elongated handle and a head coupled to the handle at a vertical angle is disclosed. A first and second projection extend from the head for suspending floss, the first projection is sized for insertion of floss between a wire affixed to a tooth and the tooth. A source spool of fresh floss is configured to feed fresh floss incrementally into suspension between the first and second projections while a take-up bobbin is configured for taking up used floss and applying tension to the suspended floss. A button may be used for releasing the source spool to rotate, and for holding the source spool against rotation. The source spool and take-up bobbin may be disposed in separated chambers to reduce cross contamination.11-24-2011

20090283433FREE STANDING OR ATTACHABLE DESIGNER FORM - A free standing or attachable designer form is disclosed. According to one embodiment a front section comprises a first piece of material, the first piece of material having a first front side and a first back side. A back section comprises a second piece of material, the second piece of material having a second front side and a second back side. A middle section comprises a flexible sheet having a third front side and a third back side, wherein the third front side of the flexible sheet is attached to the first back side of the first piece of material and the third back side of the flexible sheet is attached to the second back side of the second piece of material. A first end has a first closure attached thereto, a second end having a second closure attached thereto, and the first end and second end attach using the first closure and second closure.11-19-2009

20090005858INTEGRATION OF MARKERS INTO BAR ARMS USING A WARM-FORMING PROCESS - A stent having a body capable of visualization under X-ray fluoroscopic techniques. The stent body includes radiopaque strut members. The stent body can also have a radiopacity gradient along the length of the stent body.01-01-2009
20120035709ENDOPROSTHESIS HAVING FOOT EXTENSIONS - Endoprosthesis for delivery in a body lumen is provided. The endoprosthesis includes an annular element defined by a set of interconnected strut members, each strut member including a first end and a second end. The first end of selected pairs of circumferentially-adjacent strut members of the annular element are interconnected to define apices proximate a first longitudinal side of the annular element and the second end of selected pairs circumferentially-adjacent strut members are interconnected to define apices proximate a second longitudinal side of the annular element. At least one of the selected pairs of circumferentially-adjacent strut members has a modulator disposed proximate the apex defined there between, the modulator having a first mode to allow expansion of the annular element from an unexpanded configuration toward an expanded configuration and a second mode to resist contraction of the annular element from the expanded configuration toward the unexpanded configuration.02-09-2012
