Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090019922METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR OIL LEAK TESTING - A method and apparatus to test for oil leaks in an engine component after being machined. The method and apparatus include a wash station that washes the engine component after being machined, and a buffer that heats the engine component to a first temperature. An oil leak test station tests the engine component at about the first temperature for oil leaks.01-22-2009

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080268193Aqueous media disposable transport and containment material - A waste containment composite material has a low strength water impermeable barrier layer, a high strength water sensitive layer, and a printed polymer reinforcement pattern applied to the water sensitive layer as a mechanical support layer. Examples of barrier layers include wax, polylactic acid, and other polymers. Examples of water sensitive layers include polyvinyl alcohol. The printed pattern of low permeability polymer support network is applied during the blowing process of the dual layer material.10-30-2008

20110256605CELLS WITH NON-NATURAL PHYSIOLOGIES DERIVED BY EXPRESSING LIGHT-POWERED PROTON PUMPS IN ONE OR MORE MEMBRANES - Methods and procedures for designing and constructing microbes with the ability to harvest light energy are described. In certain embodiments, these methods and procedures are used to construct a photosynthetic yeast based on proteorhodopsin (PR) expression. Proteorhodopsin is a light powered proton pump used by some ocean bacteria to scavenge light energy. By illuminating single yeast cells expressing PR, controlled amounts of energy can be delivered to these cells. A light-harvesting yeast is a unique bioenergetics research platform for investigating the interplay of biofuel production, cellular ATP levels, and the proton-motive-force (pmf). Also, a strain of yeast with light-boosted biomass to biofuel conversion efficiency possesses direct industrial and commercial utility.10-20-2011

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090201530PRINT JOB SEPARATION APPARATUS AND METHOD - An apparatus and method are disclosed for separating print jobs. Print jobs may be separated by alternating between outputting entire print jobs in straight and askew orientations. Print jobs may also be separated by outputting jobs in a straight orientation and outputting a separator page between each print job in an askew orientation. In one embodiment, separator pages may be input from a specified input tray that may contain sheets of a different color than that used for print jobs.08-13-2009
20110206244SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ENHANCED BIOMETRIC SECURITY - Embodiments of the invention provide biometrics systems having enhanced security. Embodiments of the invention provide facial recognition systems implemented for access control purposes, such as a biometrics access control system for an electronic device, in which modified and/or additional challenges via a facial recognition system are made prior to granting access to the protected device.08-25-2011
20110243123Noise Reduction During Voice Over IP Sessions - An approach is provided that, upon receiving a keyboard event, reduces a volume of an audio input channel from a first volume level to a lower volume level. After the volume of the audio input channel is reduced, the approach waits until a system event occurs, with the system event based at least in part on the occurrence of a nondeterministic event. The volume of the audio input channel is then increased from the lower volume level to a higher volume level when the system event occurs10-06-2011

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090308222GUITAR SUPPORT - In order to allow a two-sided instrument case to also serve as a stand for guitars and the like, when the case is in its open position, a flat plate having a central notch in one end is adapted to be supported between the open case side so it is closely spaced relative to the hinge which joins the case sides. When the case is moved to the closed position, the plate may either be removed for storage in the case with the instrument, or may be alternatively positioned so that it may be folded into a closed position within the case.12-17-2009

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100210867Addition of a Methyl Hydrogen Terephthalate Reactor to a Dimethyl Terephthalate Process - An MHT reactor is added to a DMT process to eliminate the majority of the DMT/MHT recycle back to the DMT reactor, allowing for an increase in capacity to the DMT reactors.08-19-2010

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100198644System and method for computer-aided coordination of presentation events - A system and method for the automated scheduling, coordination, and management of meetings, briefings, and other presentations. The meeting coordination application described herein is a centralized system for meeting planning. The meeting coordination application receives data from a customer database, a human resources database, and a scheduling database. On the basis of this data, the meeting coordination application proposes or selects presenters for the meeting. The meeting coordination application selects the presenters on the basis of their personal availability and their knowledge base as compared to the topics proposed by the customer for the meeting. The meeting coordination also acts as a logistical tool for scheduling the meeting, coordinating tasks relating to reserving the meeting space, generating catering instructions, arranging and confirming transportation for meeting attendees, conducting a post-meeting survey, and collecting survey responses and other information to update a historical database describing organizational meetings.08-05-2010

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100020518RF shielding arrangement for semiconductor packages - A packaging for semiconductor modules such as multi chip modules (MCM). At least one via is created on saw street region of a substrate having circuit components. The substrate is transfer molded and the transfer molded substrate is partially singulated from a first surface along with the via to create a groove. The partially singulated substrate including the groove on the saw street region and the via is coated or plated with a conducting material for RF shielding. Accordingly, the conducting material and a ground terminal of the substrate are connected through the via on the substrate.01-28-2010
