| 20110249432 | Lighting Device with Variable Controls and Operation - A multi-spectrum emitting device is provided including one or more emitters configured to emit in a first spectrum and a second spectrum. Devices include a switching mechanism with at least two switching elements. The switching mechanism may be configured to require simultaneous activation of the at least two switching elements in order to change emissions from the first spectrum to the second spectrum. The first spectrum may be a non-visible light spectrum and the second spectrum may be a visible light spectrum. Devices may also include a tactile feedback mechanism that provides different tactile feedback for different emission modes of the device. | 10-13-2011 |

| 20110027436 | USE OF THIOESTER FLAVORS TO IMPROVE THE FLAVOR QUALITY OF READY-TO-DRINK COFFEE UPON RETORTING AND STORAGE - The invention relates to a thermally processed ready to drink liquid coffee product having an improved flavor quality after thermal processing and storage due to the incorporation of a thioester flavor precursor at a concentration of 0.005 to 7 mg/kg. Preferably, the flavor precursor is furfurylthioacetate, methylthioacetate or prenylthioacetate or combinations thereof and not limited to the above. The invention also relates to a process for preparing the improved flavor quality of a thermally processed coffee product. | 02-03-2011 |

| 20090157239 | Vertical Gust Suppression System for Transport Aircraft - A method for vertical gust suppression due to turbulence for an aircraft having at least one of direct lift control surfaces or pitch control surfaces. The method includes sensing atmospheric turbulence, measuring the sensed atmospheric turbulence to generate turbulence data, generating a command based on the turbulence data, and applying the command to aircraft controls to actuate the direct lift control surfaces or the pitch control surfaces based on the turbulence data. Therefore, an aircraft response to the actuation of the direct lift control surfaces or the pitch control surfaces reduces a vertical acceleration, a pitch acceleration, a pitch rate, a pitch attitude or a structural load of the aircraft due to the turbulence. Thus, the method reduces the effects of vertical gusts of wind on the aircraft, improves the comfort level for aircraft passengers and crew, and reduces diversions the aircraft may take to avoid the turbulence. | 06-18-2009 |

| 20110103391 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR HIGH-PERFORMANCE, LOW-POWER DATA CENTER INTERCONNECT FABRIC - A system and method are provided that support a routing using a tree-like or graph topology that supports multiple links per node, where each link is designated as an Up, Down, or Lateral link, or both, within the topology. The system may use a segmented MAC architecture which may have a method of re-purposing MAC IP addresses for inside MACs and outside MACs, and leveraging what would normally be the physical signaling for the MAC to feed into the switch. | 05-05-2011 |

| 20080258011 | DECELERATION PLATFORM - A platform for the aerial delivery of payloads into aquatic environments has a staged v cross-section formed by two walls extending from an end part. The portions of the two walls adjacent to the end part diverge from it at an angle θ and, together with the end part, form the tip of the platform. The remaining portions of the two walls, remote from the end part, form the body of the platform, and diverge at an angle φ that is greater than the angle θ. When the platform is deployed onto the surface of a fluid, it initially experiences a period of low deceleration as the tip penetrates the surface, followed by a period of higher deceleration, as the body contacts the surface. | 10-23-2008 |

| 20080261862 | Materials and Methods for Modulating Signalling by Alpha-V Integring Molecules - It is disclosed that the αvβ5 integrin mediates the proliferative signal provided by CD23 to pre-B cells. The region of CD23 which interacts with αvβ5 has been defined, and found to interact with a site on the integrin distinct from that which binds RGD. The invention provides methods for disrupting the interaction between CD23 and αvβ5 and methods of screening for chemical entities capable of disrupting this interaction. | 10-23-2008 |

| 20080245974 | METHOD OF INTRODUCING MATERIAL INTO A SUBSTRATE BY GAS-CLUSTER ION BEAM IRRADIATION - Method of infusing or introducing material into a substrate using a gas cluster ion beam. The method includes maintaining a reduced-pressure environment around a substrate holder and holding a substrate securely within that reduced-pressure environment. A gas-cluster ion beam formed from a pressurized gas mixture including an inert gas and at least one other atomic or molecular specie is provided to the reduced-pressure environment and accelerated. In one embodiment, the method includes irradiating the accelerated gas-cluster ion beam onto one or more surface portions of the substrate to form an infused region or gas-cluster ion-impact region therein by introducing part or all of the atomic or molecular specie into the surface. In another embodiment, the method includes modifying at least one electrical property of the surface of the substrate by irradiating the accelerated gas-cluster ion beam onto one or more surface portions of the substrate. | 10-09-2008 |

| 20090026757 | RISER ASSEMBLY AND METHOD OF ASSEMBLY THEREFOR - An improved gas riser assembly for transmitting gas from an underground gas service line to a meter manifold includes an elongated plastic tube having a first end and a second end. The first end is adapted to be connected below ground to the underground gas service line and the second end is adapted to be disposed above ground. A protective casing is annularly received about the elongated plastic tube. The protective casing has a first end adapted to be disposed below ground and a second end disposed above ground. An adapter is sealingly connected to the second end of the elongated plastic tube for fluidly connecting the elongated plastic tube to the meter manifold. The adapter is also sealingly and weldiessly connected to the second end of the protective casing. To assemble the gas riser, an insert member of the adapter is connected to the second end of the elongated plastic tube. The insert member with the elongated plastic tube connected thereto is inserted into the second end of the protective casing until the insert member protrudes from the first end of the protective casing. A cover member of the adapter is threadedly connected to the insert member. The cover member is threadedly advanced along the insert member to capture a radial flange of the protective casing between the cover member and the insert member thereby securing the insert member and the cover member to the protective casing. | 01-29-2009 |
