| 20110031325 | DRIPLESS ROTARY SPRINKLER AND RELATED METHOD - A rotary sprinkler includes a housing supporting a nozzle and a nozzle tube, the nozzle tube located axially adjacent an orifice of the nozzle with an axial gap therebetween. A water-deflection plate assembly is carried by the nozzle tube for rotation relative to the nozzle tube. The housing is formed with an exterior substantially annular funnel surrounding the nozzle and forming a collection trough for collection of excess water, and the housing formed with one or more apertures directing excess water in the collection trough to an internal area surrounding the orifice to be aspirated through the gap into a stream of water emitted from the nozzle orifice and through the nozzle tube such that the excess water is distributed by the water-deflection plate along with water emitted from the nozzle orifice. | 02-10-2011 |

| 20100116938 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR JOINING COMPOSITE STRUCTURAL MEMBERS AND STRUCTURAL MEMBERS MADE THEREBY - A composite structural member includes first and second composite sections spliced together by an overlapping composite splice member. | 05-13-2010 |
| 20110281114 | Method of Making A Composite Sandwich Structure and Sandwich Structure Made Thereby - A composite sandwich structure is made by compacting a first multi-ply composite facesheet and assembling a layup, including sandwiching a core between the compacted first facesheet and a second multi-ply composite facesheet. The layup is compacted and the first and second facesheets are co-cured with the core. | 11-17-2011 |

| 20090320487 | Systems and methods for reducing noise from jet engine exhaust - Jet engine nozzles with projections (e.g., chevrons) and injected flow, and associated systems and methods are disclosed. A method in accordance with one embodiment includes generating a first flow of gas with a jet engine, delivering the first flow through a nozzle having a trailing edge perimeter that includes multiple projections extending in an aft direction, and injecting a pressurized second flow of fluid into the first flow proximate to the projections. In other embodiments, other mixing enhancement devices (e.g., vortex generators) are carried by the projections. It is expected that the combination of the projections and the mixing enhancement devices will reduce engine exhaust noise levels below the levels achievable with either projections or injected flow individually. | 12-31-2009 |

| 20090249459 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR RECEIVING REQUESTS FOR TASKS FROM UNREGISTERED DEVICES - Embodiments of a system and method for receiving task requests from unregistered devices are described. Embodiments may include a communication interface service configured to receive from a communication device a message indicative of a request to perform a task. The communication interface service may determine that the communication device is not registered with an existing account that provides information for performing said task. The communication interface service may obtain identification and authentication information for an existing account via a communication channel. The existing account may be an account for that is accessible via a network-based interface. The communication channel through which the identification and authentication information is received by the communication interface service may be any communication channel that does not include the network-based interface of the existing account. Additionally, the communication interface service may use the identification and authentication information for performance of the task using the existing account. | 10-01-2009 |

| 20090108906 | CABLE DRIVER USING SIGNAL DETECT TO CONTROL INPUT STAGE OFFSET - A system, apparatus and method are arranged for monitoring an input signal for a line driver and determining if a valid data signal is present. When the input signal is determined to be an invalid data signal, an offset is introduced into the input stage of the line driver to prevent noise induced toggling of the output of the line driver. When the input signal is determined to be a valid data signal, the offset is removed from the input stage since inclusion of the offset can introduce undesirable duty cycle distortion in the output of the line driver. By dynamically adding or removing the offset from the input stage of the line driver, invalid signals are prevented from toggling the output of the line driver while preserving a clean data transmission for valid signals. | 04-30-2009 |
| 20090108907 | SIGNAL DETECTOR OUTPUT FOR CABLE DRIVER APPLICATIONS - The present disclosure relates to a system, apparatus and method for a line driver circuit to generate a signal detect (SD) signal when an invalid data signal is detected at its input. An invalid signal may be present either when no signal is available or when the line driver circuit or another component in the system (e.g., a crosspoint switch, a multiplexer, etc.) fails. The SD signal is coupled to an external controller that can either power down the line driver circuit to save power when no signal is available, or change over to a different line driver circuit or other component of the system when a failure is identified. When the input signal is determined to be a valid data signal via the SD signal, the line driver circuit can be enabled for operation. The described systems, apparatus and methods can save the user from having to directly control the line driver power state, especially in systems with large router configurations that may include hundreds of line drivers. | 04-30-2009 |
| 20090309611 | CABLE DETECTOR - A cable detector includes one or more peak detectors that detect when a termination impedance is missing from the output of a line driver. A peak detection signal is asserted when signals on a transmission line exceed a threshold level. A fault condition is asserted when the peak detection signal is asserted for a sufficient length of time to indicate that an actual fault is detected. The time period required for detecting a lost or missing line termination is longer than the time periods for any one of the pathological conditions to avoid a false positive detection. After the peak detection signal is de-asserted, the fault condition will be maintained until another sufficient length of time has expired without a peak detection. | 12-17-2009 |

| 20090124169 | CNC ABRASIVE FLUID-JET MILLING - A method and apparatus for milling a desired pocket in a solid workpiece uses an abrasive fluid-jet by moving and suitably orienting the abrasive fluid-jet relative to the workpiece. The method includes defining a path of the abrasive fluid-jet necessary to mill a desired pocket in the solid workpiece. The path is defined by a number of parameters. The parameters include a translation velocity, a fluid pressure, and an abrasive fluid-jet position and orientation relative to the workpiece. Generating a command set is according to the defined path and is configured to drive a computer numerical control manipulator system. | 05-14-2009 |
