| 20090315267 | SEAL SYSTEM IN SITU LIFETIME MEASUREMENT - A sealing system for sealing between two members includes a polymer seal disposed between the two members, a measurement device, and an evaluation unit. The measurement device is at least partially disposed within the polymer seal, is configured for measuring an aspect of the polymer seal indicating sealing performance of the polymer seal, and is configured for creating a signal corresponding to a measured aspect of the polymer seal. The evaluation unit is configured for evaluating the signal corresponding to the measured aspect of the polymer seal and for determining a sealing performance capability of said polymer seal. | 12-24-2009 |
| 20090317028 | SEAL ASSEMBLY IN SITU LIFETIME MEASUREMENT - A bearing system for bearing between two members including a polymer bearing disposed between the two members, a measurement device disposed within the bearing for measuring an aspect of at least one of the bearing and the environment between the two members, the device creating a signal related to the measured aspect and a communication device for communicating the signal away from the polymer bearing. | 12-24-2009 |
| 20100059937 | SEAL ASSEMBLY - A seal assembly, includes a seal element including at least one seal lip, a wiper element including a wiper lip, and a structural element attached to the seal element and the wiper element, the seal assembly being configured for functioning under pressure in an amount greater than 500 pounds per square inch. | 03-11-2010 |

| 20100052267 | SEAL ASSEMBLY - A sealing assembly for a shaft includes a sealing component, a first ring, a second ring, and at least one energizer. The first ring is annularly disposed about the shaft, the first ring having at least one first protuberance interfittable with the sealing component. The second ring is annularly disposed about the shaft in facing opposition to the first ring, the second ring having at least one second protuberance interfittable with the sealing component. The at least one energizer energizes the seal component, the at least one energizer being adjacent the at least one first protuberance or the at least one second protuberance. | 03-04-2010 |

| 20100187324 | Method and System for Scent Delivery - A scent-delivery system is disclosed that utilizes as least one of (1) a venturi-effect delivery device for promoting evaporation of volatile compounds or (2) a pendulum for energy-efficient movement of solid or liquid forms containing the volatile compounds. When the venturi-effect delivery device is used, a flow of air therethrough drives the evaporation of volatile compounds. The pendulum can be used to move the venturi-effect delivery device to generate the relative movement between the air and the device, hence creating a “flow” of air. | 07-29-2010 |

| 20090193358 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR FACILITATING INFORMATION ACCESS DURING A MODAL OPERATION - One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that facilitates accessing information during a modal operation. The system operates by presenting an initial window for an application to a user in a display. The system then presents a subsequent window in the display for another function related to the application. During this process, the system presents these two windows in proximity to each other, and ensures that this proximity is maintained, even across user changes to one or both windows. At a later point, during operation, the system receives an input from the user that results in a modal operation for the application that restricts user changes to and/or user control of the initial window during the modal operation. Despite this modal operation, the system remains able to receive a subsequent input for the subsequent window from the user and, in response, update information displayed in the subsequent window during the modal operation. This allows the user to continue to access application information despite the modal operation. | 07-30-2009 |
| 20090248594 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DYNAMIC ADAPTATION OF USER EXPERIENCE IN AN APPLICATION - Some embodiments of the present invention provide a system that executes an application. During operation, the system physiologically monitors a user of the application with a set of sensors as the application executes. Next, the system assesses a mental state of the user based on physiological data collected from the sensors. Finally, the system changes the behavior of the application based on the assessed mental state to facilitate use of the application by the user. | 10-01-2009 |
