| 20120006759 | Method and system for removal of trihalomethane from water supplies - A method of and system for treating water to reduce the level of trihalomethanes includes the water to be treated (WTBT) being sprayed through a nozzle to aerate the WTBT to increase the air/water interface therein reducing the level of trihalomethanes in the water. In one embodiment, the pressure of the WTBT in the nozzle is adjusted and the nozzle is selected to have a nozzle orifice such that the droplet size of the water to be treated from the nozzle is less than 150 microns SMD. In addition, the nozzle is spaced from a holding tank for receiving and collecting the sprayed water such that the surface of the treated water is a minimum of four meters from the nozzle. | 01-12-2012 |

| 20090250613 | Chemically-Selective Detector and Methods Relating Thereto - In accordance with certain embodiments of the present disclosure, a method for adjusting the spectral detectivity of a thermal detector is described. The method includes coating the light sensitive portion of a thermal detector with a first material to reduce the response of the detector. The first material is coated with a second material that is thermally thin and has spectral absorption characteristics. The second material is coated with a third material that is thermally thick, whereby the spectral absorbance of the second material as filtered by the third material primarily determines the thermal conversion of the thermal detector. | 10-08-2009 |

| 20110090342 | MULTI-MODE IMAGING IN THE THERMAL INFRARED FOR CHEMICAL CONTRAST ENHANCEMENT - A system and method for analyzing a sample is disclosed. At least a portion of the sample is illuminated with modulated light from a light source, such as an infrared light source. Infrared energy from the sample is monitored with an infrared detector as the sample is being illuminated with the modulated light. The AC response of the infrared energy is analyzed to determine at least one of emission data or reflection data about the sample. The emission data or the reflection data can be used to enhance chemical contrast between varying substances on the sample. | 04-21-2011 |

| 20080234556 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SENSING RESPIRATORY ACTIVITIES USING SENSOR IN LYMPHATIC SYSTEM - A respiratory monitoring system includes an implantable lymphatic sensor configured to be placed in a lymphatic vessel, such as the thoracic duct or a vessel branching from the thoracic duct, near the diaphragm. The implantable lymphatic sensor senses a signal indicative of respiratory activities. Examples of the signal include a diaphragmatic activity signal indicative of movement of the diaphragm and a transthoracic impedance signal indicative of pulmonary volume. In one embodiment, the respiratory monitoring system is incorporated into a cardiac rhythm management system that controls cardiac therapy delivery using the signal sensed by the implantable lymphatic sensor. | 09-25-2008 |
| 20080294228 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR CONTROLLED STIMULATION OF LYMPHATIC FLOW - A device and method for controllably augmenting the flow of lymphatic fluid through one or more lymphatic vessels. The device may utilize various means of modulating the flow of lymph, including neural, mechanical and/or chemical stimulation and could be a stand-alone device or be incorporated into any cardiac, neuromodulation and/or drug delivery device. | 11-27-2008 |

| 20090095770 | DUAL FUNCTION DISPENSING HEAD FOR CARBONATED BEVERAGE MACHINE - A dispensing head incorporates multiple constant flow valves for controlling the flow of multiple liquids, e.g., syrup and carbonated water fed to a dispensing nozzle. The valves are normally closed and are opened by inlet pressures above selected threshold levels. Once open, the valves maintain the liquid flows at substantially constant flow rates and pressures, irrespective of variations of liquid input pressures and viscosities. A closure mechanism serves to close the valves at inlet pressures both above and below the threshold levels. The closure mechanism may be deactivated to simultaneously allow the valves to assume their modulating functions at inlet pressures above the threshold levels. | 04-16-2009 |

| 20090089171 | METHOD FOR USING ENVIRONMENTAL CLASSIFICATION TO ASSIST IN FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT AND SERVICES - Managing risks of crop production can be performed by understanding the relative performance of different agricultural inputs under the same or similar environmental conditions. In addition, managing of crop production risks can be performed by understanding variations in the performance of the same agricultural inputs over a range of environmental conditions. By being able to describe and understand these variations in performance, decisions can be made which are consistent with overall business and/or production objectives and limit risk associated with variations in environmental conditions. In addition to producers there are other stakeholders in the crop production process, such as financial institutions, insurance providers, users of crops produced, and input suppliers. These and other stakeholders can provide financial incentives to producers for managing crop production risks through use of environmental classification and/or genotype-by-environment information. | 04-02-2009 |

| 20090003808 | Ecowave 1.2 - The ECOWAVE 1.2 is an infrared heater that can produce heat in a more efficient manner than other infrared heaters on the market today. We have utilized specific short wave infrared bulbs and specifically manufactured and oriented heat dissipation material, and housing, to capture the maximum amount of infrared waves emitted from the heat source thus providing an optimum ambient temperature rise for a minimal amount of electricity consumed. We have also designed a heater core, in two separate configurations, that can be used in a multitude of capacities depending on the size of the heating case desired, heat required and space available. | 01-01-2009 |

| 20100324972 | REAL-TIME, DEMAND-BASED DYNAMIC PRICING SYSTEM AND METHOD - Systems and methods for providing real-time dynamic pricing information for a product based on receipt of a price queries from consumers at point-of-sale. The system receives price queries for a product provided by a consumer at point-of-sale by way of use of a mobile communicating device such as cellphone. The system maintains a database of received price queries. A preset price query threshold value associated with the product is retrieved in response to a received query. A price query count is extracted for the product, the price query count being the number of price queries generated in a predefined sample period. A product price is calculated in real time based on a comparison between the price query count and the threshold values. The consumer may be provided with discounts or coupons based on marketing campaign parameters derived from the price query. | 12-23-2010 |
