| 20100147272 | EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION COOLER COOLANT PLUMBING CONFIGURATION - A cooling system for an engine is disclosed. In a first embodiment, the cooling system may comprise a heat exchanger, a pump coupled to the heat exchanger, an EGR cooler coupled to the pump, and a first valve coupled to the EGR cooler and the heat exchanger. When the first valve is in a first position, the first valve directs a coolant to the heat exchanger and when the first valve is in a second position, the heat exchanger is bypassed and coolant flows directly to the pump. It is an advantage for a cooling system to utilize a valve to maximize the rate a coolant flows throughout the system when the valve is in an open position and also to warm up an engine when the valve is in a closed position. | 06-17-2010 |

The disk of smallest and largest diameter being a first and last disk, respectively, and the two disks of intermediate diameter being medial disks. A plurality of word sets are imprinted outwardly along a radius, in circumferentially spaced relation on the outermost portion, of each of the disks. The disks may be rotated to position one of the word sets on each disk along a common radius of the sentence wheel for forming a sentence. Pronouns or proper nouns are imprinted on the first disk, nouns are imprinted on the last disk, and auxiliary verbs, modal auxiliaries, and verbs are imprinted on the medial disks. | 01-27-2011 |

| 20100130072 | INTEGRAL BONDING ATTACHMENT - An integral bonding attachment includes an insulated section of a conductive wire with an exposed, uninsulated section. A sleeve covers the insulated and uninsulated sections of the conductive wire, and the sleeve includes a flattened section encasing at least a portion of the uninsulated wire section to form a generally integral structure with the core of the conductive wire. At least one generally tubular section is positioned at an end of the flattened section to engage the insulated section of the conductive wire. An aperture may pass simultaneously through the inner core and flattened sleeve section for attaching the integral bonding attachment to a structure. | 05-27-2010 |

| 20080295252 | Mattress Construction with Filamentary Fasteners - At least one major surface of the core is covered with an inner layer of insulation, and at least one outer layer of material. The outer layer is secured to the inner layer by inserting flexible filament type fasteners through the hollow needle of an installation tool. If the core is made of foam, filamentary fasteners may also be used to secure the inner layer. The insulation layers are ultimately covered and secured in place by a fabric panel which conceals and secures the other components. Filamentary fasteners may also be used to secure a pillow top edge or a top panel to the mattress. | 12-04-2008 |

| 20080254941 | Controlling the operating states of a torque converter clutch in an automatic transmission - A method for controlling a torque converter clutch in an automatic transmission of a vehicle that includes an engine, an accelerator pedal and wheels, the converter clutch alternately connecting and disconnecting the engine and transmission when the clutch is engaged and disengaged. The method includes determining that the vehicle is either ascending a grade or operating in a loaded condition, determining that the clutch is engaged, determining whether the vehicle is operating in a curve, preventing disengagement of the clutch if the vehicle is either ascending a grade or operating in a loaded condition and the vehicle is operating in a curve, and allowing disengagement of the clutch if the vehicle is neither ascending a grade nor operating in a loaded condition. | 10-16-2008 |
| 20090143196 | Avoiding Coasting Downshift Torque Reversal in an Automatic Transmission - A method for controlling a coast down downshift that is produced in an automatic transmission by disengaging an off-going control element and engaging an oncoming control element, including the steps of determining a first desired pressure magnitude of the off-going control element and a first desired pressure magnitude of the oncoming control element, executing the current downshift using said first desired pressure magnitudes, determining during execution of the current downshift corrections of said first desired pressure magnitudes that occur during the current downshift, determining a second desired pressure magnitude of the off-going control element and a second desired pressure magnitude of the oncoming control element, using said corrections and the second desired pressure magnitude to determine a subsequent desired pressure magnitude of the off-going control element and a subsequent desired pressure magnitude of the oncoming control element, and executing a downshift using said subsequent desired pressure magnitudes. | 06-04-2009 |

| 20090309724 | Intrusion detection system for underground/above ground applications using radio frequency identification transponders - The present invention is directed to an underground as well as above ground system and method of determining the intrusion into a security zone. One or more transceivers would transmit a unique electromagnetic signal which would power a response from one or more RFID transponders. Each of the transponders would transmit a unique code to the transceiver indicating that there has been no intrusion in the vicinity of that transponder. Failure of a transponder to receive a signal produced by a transponder, would indicate the existence of an intrusion. The transponders as well as the transceivers can be provided in a PVC pipe buried in the ground, or provided in or on a structure located on or above the ground. | 12-17-2009 |

| 20090075183 | Technique for Determining Mask Patterns and Write Patterns - During a method for generating a third mask pattern to be used on a photo-mask in a photolithographic process, first features are added to a first mask pattern to produce a second mask pattern. A majority of the first features may have a size characteristic larger than a pre-determined value, and that the first features are topologically disconnected from second features in the first mask pattern that overlap third features in a target pattern. Moreover, the first features may be added at positions which are determined based on the gradient of a first cost function depending, at least in part, on the first mask pattern and the target pattern. Then, the third mask pattern may be generated based on the second mask pattern, where the photo-mask corresponds to the third mask pattern. | 03-19-2009 |
