| 20100211439 | Method and System for Predicting Audience Viewing Behavior - The present invention is directed to a method and system for predicting the behavior of an audience based on the biologically based responses of the audience to a presentation that provides a sensory stimulating experience and determining a measure of the level and pattern of engagement of that audience to the presentation. In particular, the invention is directed to a method and system for predicting whether an audience is likely to view a presentation in its entirety. In addition, the present invention may be used to determine the point at which an audience is likely to change their attention to an alternative sensory stimulating experience including fast forwarding through recorded content, changing the channel or leaving the room when viewing live content, or otherwise redirecting their engagement from the sensory stimulating experience. | 08-19-2010 |

| 20090034359 | STOPPED FLOW, QUENCHED FLOW AND CONTINUOUS FLOW REACTION METHOD AND APPARATUS - Microscale or nanoscale apparatus for stopped-flow, quenched flow or continuous flow reaction apparatus where fluids or gases are mixed in a device composed of parallel or serial assembly of the basic fluid-containing cell having a longitudinal axis, a cross-sectional area generally perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, and at least one connected crossing cell having a longitudinal axis, a cross-sectional area generally perpendicular to said longitudinal axis and a fluid motivating force interacting transversally with the fluids flow. | 02-05-2009 |
| 20100210029 | DEVICE AND METHODS OF DETECTION OF AIRBORNE AGENTS - Provided are methods, devices and systems that utilize free-surface fluidics and SERS for analyte detection with high sensitivity and specificity. The molecules can be airborne agents, including but not limited to explosives, narcotics, hazardous chemicals, or other chemical species. The free-surface fluidic architecture is created using an open microchannel, and exhibits a large surface to volume ratio. The free-surface fluidic interface can filter interferent molecules, while concentrating airborne analyte molecules. The microchannel flow enables controlled aggregation of SERS-active probe particles in the flow, thereby enhancing the detector's sensitivity. | 08-19-2010 |
| 20110120674 | TITANIUM-BASED THERMAL GROUND PLANE - Titanium-based thermal ground planes are described. A thermal ground plane in accordance with the present invention comprises a titanium substrate comprising a plurality of pillars, wherein the plurality of Ti pillars can be optionally oxidized to form nanostructured titania coated pillars, and a vapor cavity, in communication with the plurality of titanium pillars, for transporting thermal energy from one region of the thermal ground plane to another region of the thermal ground plane. | 05-26-2011 |

| 20090213512 | OVER-VOLTAGE PROTECTION CIRCUIT - An over-voltage protection circuit is disclosed herein for protection against over-voltage of an energy storage device while charging. The circuit operates within the operational limits of a battery-operated device, such as a mobile or handheld device. The over-voltage protection circuit comprises an over-voltage protection device, and an over-voltage protection controller. The controller allows current to flow to the over-voltage protection device only when an energy storage device is experiencing over-voltage. In allowing current to flow to the over-voltage protection device only when the voltage across the energy storage device is above a predetermined voltage, power conservation is achieved | 08-27-2009 |

| 20090072816 | Rotary Magnetic Encoder Assembly, Chip and Method - A rotary magnetic encoder assembly that has a freewheeling rotatable exciter magnet onboard that excites a magnetic field sensor region of an encoder chip when magnetic interaction between the exciter magnet and rotating encoder shaft causes the exciter magnet to rotate. In one embodiment, a drive magnet carried by the shaft magnetically couples with the exciter magnet because the medium therebetween has low magnetic permeability enabling rotation substantially in unison with the shaft. The exciter magnet is disposed in an onboard retainer pocket that accurately locates the magnet relative to the sensor region of the encoder chip. In one preferred embodiment, the exciter magnet retainer pocket is disposed onboard the encoder chip, such as by being formed as part of the package body of the chip that can be integrally formed or as part of a module that is mountable on the chip. | 03-19-2009 |

| 20090096254 | Vehicle Headliner And Method Of Manufacture - Disclosed is a headliner for preventing an assist grip located proximate a curtain side airbag (CSA) from detaching from a motor vehicle frame during deployment of the CSA. The headliner can include a substrate layer with an assist grip aperture dimensioned such that an assist grip attachment end can extend through the substrate layer and attach to sheet metal located adjacent to a back side of the headliner. Proximate to the assist grip aperture is a weakened region within the substrate layer that affords for headliner to bend and/or tear around the assist grip during deployment of the CSA. In addition, a fabric layer attached to and extending across the substrate layer is provided wherein the fabric layer covers the weakened region within the substrate layer. In some instances, the weakened region is a plurality of slits within the substrate layer, each of the slits extending in a generally outward direction from the assist grip aperture. | 04-16-2009 |
| 20100320734 | VENT ASSEMBLY - The present invention discloses a retention apparatus for a fin subassembly used in connection with a vent assembly of a vehicle including a headliner assembly mounted to an interior vehicle body structure. A curtain side airbag is disposed between the headliner assembly and the vehicle body structure. The headliner is configured to be displaced by the curtain side airbag upon airbag deployment so as to provide a safety feature for passengers of the vehicle. The vent assembly includes a trim cover, a retainer ring and a fin subassembly. The trim cover is mounted to a vehicle headliner and the trim cover having a predetermined inside diameter. The fin subassembly having a plurality of fins configured to direct airflow from an air duct and also having an extended actuator operatively connected to the fins to permit simultaneous and identical movement of the fins. The fin subassembly is mounted in the retainer ring and the retainer ring is rotatably mounted in the trim cover to allow the retainer ring and fin subassembly to freely rotate. The extended actuator having a length greater than that of the predetermined inside diameter of the trim cover to prevent the fin subassembly from detaching from the vent assembly as a whole upon curtain side airbag deployment. | 12-23-2010 |
