| 20080253062 | POWER PEDESTAL AND BASE ASSEMBLY THEREFOR - A base assembly is provided for a power pedestal including an elongated housing and a plurality of electrical conductors enclosable by the elongated housing. The elongated housing has a first end and a second end disposed opposite and distal from the first end. The base assembly includes a power pedestal base member having a first end and a second end disposed opposite and distal from the first end. The second end of the base member is structured to be coupled to a platform. A connecting mechanism, such as a hinge assembly, is disposed at or about the first end of the base member and removably couples the first end of the elongated housing to the base member without a number of separate fasteners, thereby facilitating removal of the elongated housing from the base member. An electrical bus mount may be removably coupled to a mounting surface of the base member. | 10-16-2008 |
| 20080304212 | SYSTEM AND METHOD OF ENABLING POWER OUTPUT FROM A POWER PEDESTAL - A system enables power output from a power pedestal. The system includes a number of power pedestals, a card reader structured to receive credit or debit card information from a credit or debit card, and a first interface to another system structured to approve a transaction based upon the credit or debit card information. A processor cooperates with the card reader and the first interface to initiate and receive approval of the transaction from the other system. A user interface device cooperates with the processor to input a time duration to power one of the number of power pedestals responsive to the received approval. A second interface to the number of power pedestals cooperates with the processor and is structured to enable power output from such one of the number of power pedestals for the inputted time duration. | 12-11-2008 |
| 20090023354 | METHOD OF MANUFACTURING A LIGHTING BOLLARD ASSEMBLY - The present invention provides methods of manufacturing a bollard light assembly that provides a choice of light output by being size-adaptable depending on the choice of light output. The methods comprise, in pertinent part, selecting an elongated light and interposing a number of lens rings and light deflectors which correspond to the length of the selected elongated light. Also provided is a lighting bollard assembly manufactured according to the methods of the present invention. | 01-22-2009 |

| 20100296230 | POWER PEDESTAL AND SYSTEM EMPLOYING SAME - A power pedestal provides power to a vehicle and a structure disposed separate from the vehicle. The power pedestal includes a housing having an exterior, a first end fixed to a platform, and a second end disposed opposite and distal from the first end. A meter socket assembly is housed by the housing. At least one first branch circuit breaker and a second main circuit breaker are electrically connected to the meter socket assembly within the housing. At least one of the at least one first branch circuit breaker is electrically connected to the vehicle by a corresponding one of a number of first electrical conductors. The second main circuit breaker is electrically connected to the structure by a second electrical conductor. A meter, which is electrically connected to the meter socket assembly, measures electric energy consumed by the vehicle and the structure. | 11-25-2010 |

| 20080276948 | Chewing article for oral tobacco delivery - A chewing article for oral tobacco delivery includes a mouth portion and a handle portion. Preferably, the mouth portion includes a mouthpiece containing tobacco material and a cap. The mouthpiece includes at least one perforation that selectively releases the enclosed tobacco material when chewed, sucked, or manipulated. The handle portion is attached to the mouth portion. | 11-13-2008 |
| 20090025741 | Tobacco-free oral flavor delivery pouch product - Provided is a tobacco-free oral flavor delivery pouch product that provides and engaging and flavorful experience to a user. The pouch product includes a porous pouch wrapper and an inner filling material. The inner filling material can include a non-tobacco, botanical component, at least one functional ingredient and a solid flavor component dispersed throughout the inner filling material. The pouch product delivers multiple textures to the user's mouth. | 01-29-2009 |

| 20090052689 | Deconvolution Methods and Systems for the Mapping of Acoustic Sources from Phased Microphone Arrays - Mapping coherent/incoherent acoustic sources as determined from a phased microphone array. A linear configuration of equations and unknowns are formed by accounting for a reciprocal influence of one or more cross-beamforming characteristics thereof at varying grid locations among the plurality of grid locations. An equation derived from the linear configuration of equations and unknowns can then be iteratively determined. The equation can be attained by the solution requirement of a constraint equivalent to the physical assumption that the coherent sources have only in phase coherence. The size of the problem may then be reduced using zoning methods. An optimized noise source distribution is then generated over an identified aeroacoustic source region associated with a phased microphone array (microphones arranged in an optimized grid pattern including a plurality of grid locations) in order to compile an output presentation thereof, thereby removing beamforming characteristics from the resulting output presentation. | 02-26-2009 |
