| 20110149477 | SOLID ELECTROLYTIC CAPACITOR AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURE - An improved solid electrolytic capacitor and method of forming a solid electrolytic capacitor is described. The method includes forming an anode comprising a valve metal or conductive oxide of a valve metal wherein an anode lead extension protrudes from the anode. A dielectric is formed on the anode and a cathode layer is formed on the dielectric. The anode, dielectric, and cathode layer are encased in a non-conducting material and the anode lead extension is exposed outside of the encasement at a side surface. A conductive metal layer is adhered to the anode lead extension which allows termination preferably by electrically connecting a preformed solid metal terminal, most preferably an L shaped terminal, to the conductive metal layer at the side surface. | 06-23-2011 |

| 20080236097 | NOISE ISOLATING UNDERLAYMENT - A noise-reducing substrate for use in a flooring system, the flooring system having a subfloor and a decorative upper layer. The substrate comprises a series of edge butted panels, each of which has a bottom surface, a top surface and side surfaces. Each panel's top surface and oppositely facing bottom surface are parallel to each other and are spaced apart by the thickness of the substrate. A profile in the bottom surface of the substrate changes the substrate's effective stiffness and improves the noise isolation of the substrate compared to the stiffness and noise isolation of the panel without the profile. Additionally, the profile reduces the weight of the panel, thereby reducing manufacturing and installation costs. When the substrate is positioned between the subfloor and the decorative top layer, the material hardness and the flat profile of the upper surface provide a platform with the strength and texture required to allow for installation of the decorative floor layer without the need for an additional rigid backing material. Such a system greatly improves the impact noise reduction on a variety of floor/ceiling systems while keeping the installation cost low and the adding very little to the total system thickness. | 10-02-2008 |
| 20080251198 | ACOUSTICAL SOUND PROOFING MATERIAL WITH CONTROLLED WATER-VAPOR PERMEABILITY AND METHODS FOR MANUFACTURING SAME - A laminated structure appropriate for use in constructing walls, floors, ceilings or doors, has a selected area and in one embodiment comprises two external layers of one or more materials such as, but not limited to, gypsum, at least one internal constraining layer having less than said selected area, and two or more internal layers of a viscoelastic glue separated by said at least one internal constraining layer, wherein each of said layers of viscoelastic glue is patterned to cover a selected percentage, but not all, of said area of said laminated structure thereby to allow moisture to pass through said structure. | 10-16-2008 |

| 20100268956 | Efficient and secure data currentness systems - Indicating data currentness includes, on any date of a sequence of dates, issuing a proof indicating the currentness status of the data during a particular time interval. The proof may be a digital signature. The time interval may be in the form of a current date and an amount of time. The proof may include a digital signature of the time interval. The proof may include a digital signature of the time interval and the data. The proof may include a digital signature of the time interval and a compact form of the data, such as a hash. Indicating data currentness may also include distributing the proofs to a plurality of unsecure units that respond to requests by users for the proofs. Indicating data currentness may also include gathering a plurality of separate pieces of data and providing a single proof for the separate pieces of data. The data may be electronic documents. | 10-21-2010 |

| 20090144743 | Mailbox Configuration Mechanism - An email configuration system may use a topology database to determine if a change request results in a valid configuration. The topology database may contain a definition of an enterprise email system, including forests, servers, and individual mailboxes. If a valid configuration is found, a change request may be scheduled and implemented. The email configuration system may store the change request so that a change may be undone at a later time. Changes may be implemented to the enterprise mail system by changing the topology definition and running an analysis of the current topology and a desired topology. | 06-04-2009 |
