| 20080295947 | METHOD FOR ULTRASONIC WELDING AND ULTRASONIC WELDING FASTENER AND JOINING SYSTEMS - There is provided a method for forming joints between components, comprising selecting the components; selecting an ultrasound emitting source; and exposing a region of contact between the components to ultrasounds emitted by the ultrasound emitting source, to form a melted phase, a structural interface at the region of the joint being formed by engagement of the melted phase with the components. The two components may be of similar or dissimilar materials. | 12-04-2008 |

| 20100208972 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PERFORMING X-RAY INSPECTION OF A LIQUID PRODUCT AT A SECURITY CHECKPOINT - A method, an apparatus and a system are provided for assessing at a security checkpoint the threat status of a liquid product, where the liquid product is comprised of a bottle at least partially filled with liquid. In accordance with a broad aspect, the level of fill is used as a factor in the determination of the threat status of the liquid product. In accordance with another broad aspect, an X-ray image of the liquid product is obtained and processed to derive a level of fill of the bottle and the threat status of the liquid product is determined at least in part based on the level of fill of the bottle. In accordance with yet another broad aspect, an X-ray image of the liquid product is processed to derive location information associated with a meniscus formed by the liquid in the bottle. An estimated length of a path followed by X-rays through the liquid held in the bottle is derived in part based on the location information and is used to determine the threat status of the liquid product. | 08-19-2010 |
| 20110051996 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PERFORMING X-RAY INSPECTION OF A PRODUCT AT A SECURITY CHECKPOINT USING SIMULATION - A method, an apparatus and a system are provided for deriving a characteristic of a product using X-rays. X-ray image data associated with the product is received, the X-ray image data being derived by performing an X-ray scan of the product using an X-ray imaging apparatus and conveying attenuation information resulting from interaction of X-rays with the product. A response of a reference product to X-rays is then simulated to generate simulated X-ray image data. The simulated X-ray image data and the received X-ray image data are then processed to derive one or more characteristics of the product. Information conveying the derived characteristic of the product is then released. In a specific implementation, the product is a liquid product comprised of a bottle at least partially filled with liquid and the derived characteristic of the liquid product is a threat status assessment associated with the liquid in the bottle. In another aspect, a simulation engine for simulating interactions between X-rays and objects is also provided. | 03-03-2011 |

| 20110140672 | BATTERY CHARGING METHOD AND SYSTEM WITH THREE-STAGE TEMPERATURE-COMPENSATED CHARGE PROFILE - A battery charging method and system with a temperature-compensated charge profile requires that, during a ‘bulk stage’, a regulated constant charge current is provided to the battery until the voltage across it increases to a predetermined ‘absorption stage voltage limit’, at which time charging transitions to an ‘absorption stage’. During the absorption stage, a charge current is provided which maintains the voltage across the battery at the absorption stage voltage limit, until: 1) the charge current falls to a predetermined current threshold, 2) the charge delivered to the battery during the absorption stage reaches a predetermined charge threshold, or 3) the difference in charge between two successive intervals of equal duration becomes zero, at which time charging transitions to a ‘float stage’. During the ‘float stage’, a regulated constant charge current is provided, such that the voltage across the battery varies with the temperature of the battery. | 06-16-2011 |

| 20090308286 | Shelf with Integrated Lighting and Support Outlet Feature - A shelf system incorporating embedded lighting and a nearly unobservable conductive wiring system, substantially creating an illusion that the shelf itself simply emanates light. Furthermore, the use of decorative members, such as bottles either providing actually support or provide the illusion of actually supporting shelf members resting upon them. Moreover, the invention allows for compatibility with various forms of standard shelving already in existence by allowing for the modification of these shelves to support the actual shelf members. | 12-17-2009 |

| 20110154593 | Car headlight cleaning device - A car headlight cleaning device has a container and a threaded cap. The container has a body adapted to store liquid therein, and includes a threaded neck, and a grid located proximal to said threaded neck. The threaded cap includes threads adapted to removably connect with the threaded neck of the container, and a sponge member therein, such that when the threaded cap is screwed upon the container the sponge member is pressed against the grid and the liquid can be wrung out therefrom. | 06-30-2011 |
