| 20090097936 | LOW-PROFILE WHEEL CHOCK ASSEMBLY - A low elevational profile of each of a pair of first and second wheel chocks for restraining a current “low-drag” motor vehicle in a carrier, such as a railway car, is derived from each wheel chock having an internally webbed, elongated stepped-box body terminated with a relatively short rectangular box having its inner wall integrally formed with the stepped-box body. The body of the first chock is essentially a mirror-image of the second chock body. The low profile of a wheel chock allows each to be positioned under a vehicle the rocker panel of which has its lower edge only 148 mm (5.82 inches) above the surface upon which the vehicle's tire rests, so that the installed chock height is reduced to 47.6 mm (1.87″) under the components of the vehicle's body. The assembly may include a pair of “active” chocks; or, one active chock and one anchor chock. A single window in the upper portion of the stepped-box provides access for a strap of a wheel harness, which strap is wrapped around a torque tube in an active chock. The torque tube in one chock is rotatable in a direction opposite to that of the torque tube of the other chock. With a pair of active chocks, hooks on straps of a prior art harness are eliminated because it is difficult and time-consuming to manipulate a tire harness with its straps and hooks to secure the tire between the wheel chocks. When one chock is an anchor chock, one end of the strap is provided with a hook which is anchored to a rod or tube which is substituted for the rotatable torque tube. | 04-16-2009 |

| 20090316747 | ENERGETIC MATERIAL DETECTOR - A method of detecting energetic materials, such as explosives, includes energizing a sample area that contains particles of energetic materials. In the method, temperature characteristics from the sample area are monitored, and a temperature released from exothermic decomposition of the particles is detected. The method further includes analyzing the detected temperature to determine the presence of the exothermic compound which caused the decomposition. | 12-24-2009 |

| 20090184881 | STRUCTURAL FEED APERTURE FOR SPACE BASED PHASED ARRAY ANTENNAS - A structural phased array antenna and method for manufacturing are disclosed. An integrated structural antenna aperture can be used to reduce net weight, cost, and volume where an array of antenna elements are incorporated into a structural member, e.g. in a spacecraft. A structural material layer, such as a structural foam, may be used with the array of individual antenna element cavities machined into the layer. The antenna element cavities are lined with a conductive material, such as plated aluminum. Facesheets may be bonded to the front and/or backside of the structural material layer in order to increase strength and/or stiffness using an RF transparent material. The array of antenna elements may be coupled to filters at the back side of structural material layer. | 07-23-2009 |

| 20100248661 | Activatable data transmitter system - A method of combining three types of technologies: wireless communication, a stand alone independent activatable power source and one or more sensors or detectors to form an Activatable Data Transmitter device (ADT) that can capture and transmit environmental data proximal to the ADT. In any specific application or use the sensor type and power component would be coupled or integrated with a wireless transmitter. Multiple and various ADT types would be employed in spaces or places where no battery or wired power source exists, access is difficult or impossible, use of wired power or wired signal or both would be expensive or impossible or some combination thereof. As part of the invention the ADTs would forward the sensed data to a Receiver System either directly for use, processing and/or display or via a Data Repeater. | 09-30-2010 |
