Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100316784Liquid Coffee Concentrates And Methods Of Making Thereof - Methods for stabilizing liquid coffee concentrates are provided that form a coffee beverage that has a substantially consistent acidity profile. In one aspect, the methods blend a liquid coffee concentrate base with an edible alkali source in an amount effective to artificially increase a pH of the liquid coffee concentrate base. The liquid coffee concentrate base is aseptically processed and thermally treated at elevated temperatures for a time sufficient to artificially drive acid generating reactions in the liquid coffee concentrate to completion to form a stabilized liquid coffee concentrate.12-16-2010

20110238292METHOD OF OPERATING A NAVIGATION SYSTEM - A method of operating a navigation system is disclosed. A request for an emergency stop for a vehicle is obtained. The current position of the vehicle is determined and an emergency profile representing a time until stop is generated. A maximum distance that may be traveled within said time until stop is determined and an emergency stop location within the maximum distance is identified.09-29-2011

20090074254SYSTEM AND METHODS FOR DYNAMICALLY GENERATING EARTH POSITION DATA FOR OVERHEAD IMAGES AND DERIVED INFORMATION - Distributed adaptive geopositioning includes an objective architecture for imagery geopositioning. The positioning is distributed to fulfill the need to perform accurate geopositioning whenever and wherever it is needed. The positioning is adaptive to implement the idea that geopositioning is a dynamic, not static, quality of geospatial intelligence, for which accuracy can be improved over time as more data is collected and ingested. Focus is placed on the need for improved geopositioning throughout all areas of geospatial intelligence exploitation, not just for specific products or tools. Legacy data is re-computed to align with the geopositioned imagery and also benefits from improved accuracy.03-19-2009

20100282167Linear Deposition Source - A deposition source includes a crucible for containing deposition material and a body comprising a conductance channel. An input of the conductance channel is coupled to an output of the crucible. A heater heats the crucible so that the crucible evaporates the deposition material into the conductance channel. A heat shield comprising a plurality of heat resistant material layers is positioned around at least one of the heater and the body. A plurality of nozzles is coupled to an output of the conductance channel so that evaporated deposition material is transported from the crucible through the conductance channel to the plurality of nozzles where the evaporated deposition material is ejected from the plurality of nozzles to form a deposition flux.11-11-2010
20100285218Linear Deposition Source - A deposition source includes at least one crucible for containing deposition material. A body includes a conductance channel with an input coupled to an output of the crucible. A heater increases a temperature of the crucible so that the crucible evaporates the deposition material into the conductance channel. A plurality of nozzles is coupled to an output of the conductance channel so that evaporated deposition material is transported from the crucible through the conductance channel to the plurality of nozzles where the evaporated deposition material is ejected from the plurality of nozzles to form a deposition flux. At least one of the plurality of nozzles includes a tube that is positioned proximate to the conductance channel so that the tube restricts an amount of deposition material supplied to the nozzle including the tube.11-11-2010

20100031878Vacuum Deposition Sources Having Heated Effusion Orifices - The present invention provides deposition sources that can efficiently and controllably provide vaporized material for deposition of thin film materials. Deposition sources described herein can be used to deposit any desired material and are particularly useful for depositing high melting point materials at high evaporation rates. An exemplary application for deposition sources of the present invention is deposition of copper, indium, and gallium in the manufacture of copper indium gallium diselenide based photovoltaic devices.02-11-2010
20100159132Linear Deposition Source - A deposition source includes a plurality of crucibles that each contains a deposition material. A heat shield provides at least partial thermal isolation for at least one of the plurality of crucibles. A body is included with a plurality of conductance channels. An input of each of the plurality of conductance channels is coupled to an output of a respective one of the plurality of crucibles. A heater increases a temperature of the plurality of crucibles so that each crucible evaporates the deposition material into the plurality of conductance channels. An input of each of a plurality of nozzles is coupled to an output of one of the plurality of conductance channels. Evaporated deposition materials are transported from the crucibles through the conductance channels to the nozzles where the evaporated deposition material is ejected from the plurality of nozzles to form a deposition flux.06-24-2010

20100196568FRYER ATMOSPHERE CONTROL FOR MOLD FORM FRYER - A mold form fryer utilizing a top conveyor that transports snack pieces through a constant velocity oil stream without the need of a bottom mating mold or conveyor. Herein, the form fryer having a fryer housing for controlling the frying atmosphere is provided with a top conveyor disposed above a fryer oil pan positioned longitudinally through the fryer. Uncooked snack pieces are provided to the fryer oil pan by a bottom entrance conveyor. A steam shield separates a front-end vestibule from the downstream portion of the fryer housing, and inert gas manifolds introduce inert gas into the front-end vestibule, thereby providing a sufficiently low oxygen and sufficiently low condensable gas or steam environment near the product submerging point.08-05-2010
