| 20090255067 | MANUALLY-OPERATED RAMP FOR HANDICAPPED ACCESS - A manually operated ramp assembly includes a ramp platform and a drive assembly. The ramp platform is moveable between a stowed position and a deployed position, and the drive assembly is coupled to and affords movement of the ramp platform. A shaft extends away from the drive assembly and defines a shaft axis. The shaft is coupled to the drive assembly to cause movement of the ramp platform between the stowed position and the deployed position in response to rotation of the shaft about the shaft axis. A handle is disposed at a distal end of the shaft for manual rotation of the shaft about the shaft axis. A biasing member biases the ramp platform toward the stowed position. | 10-15-2009 |

| 20100089180 | SAMPLING DEVICE AND METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ITS USE - Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide a sampling device, system, and method. The sampling device includes a sample inlet nozzle fluidly coupled to a dilution body. A carrier fluid delivery conduit is also fluidly coupled to the dilution body. In one implementation, the carrier fluid delivery conduit is coupled to a source of heated carrier fluid. Carrier fluid is delivered around a perforated portion of the sample inlet nozzle, in one configuration. In some cases, the sampling device includes a mixing device configured to produce laminar flow of carrier fluid about a fluid sample. In other cases, the mixing device produces turbulent flow of carrier fluid and fluid sample. Systems including the sampling device include, in some implementations, a sample separator, such as an inertial droplet separator. In further implementations, systems including the sampling device further include an atmospheric dispersion simulator. | 04-15-2010 |

| 20100318357 | VOICE CONTROL OF MULTIMEDIA CONTENT - Techniques are described for managing various types of content in various ways, such as based on voice commands or other voice-based control instructions provided by a user. In some situations, at least some of the content being managed includes content of a variety of types, such as music and other audio information, photos, images, non-television video information, videogames, Internet Web pages and other data, etc., which may be managed via the voice controls in a variety of ways, such as to allow a user to locate and identify content of potential interest, to schedule recordings of selected content, to manage previously recorded content (e.g., to play or delete the content), to control live television, etc. This abstract is provided to comply with rules requiring it, and is submitted with the intention that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims. | 12-16-2010 |
| 20100332994 | NETWORK-ACCESSIBLE CONTROL OF ONE OR MORE MEDIA DEVICES - A content management (CM) system is provided to centrally control operation of one or more connected devices by issuing control requests and/or data requests. In some situations the connected device(s) include devices that control presentation of television programming-related content, such as digital video recorder (“DVR”) devices and media center devices, and in other situations may include other types of media devices and/or other electromechanical (“E/M”) devices that may be centrally controlled, such as E/M devices for home automation that may operate independently or in conjunction with the media devices. In some situations, the CM system communicates with the connected devices via a network and using appropriate protocol(s), and may be accessed remotely via a network so as to allow a user to remotely operate the CM system. The CM system may further control searching, identification, selection, and presentation of pieces of media content by the connected device(s). | 12-30-2010 |
