20090200099ELECTRIC POWER STEERING CONTROL SYSTEM - An electric power steering control system for a vehicle that has a steering device coupled by a steering assembly to at least one tire steered by the steering device. The control system controls a current in a motor for generating torque applied to the steering assembly. The control system comprises a feed-forward component that generates a torque target signal representative of the torque applied by the motor to the steering assembly. The torque target signal is proportional to a multiplication of a steering torque from the steering device. There is also a sensor component that senses the motor current and provides a motor current signal. A motor control component receives the torque target signal and the sensed motor signal. The motor current signal is driven towards a value wherein the torque target signal is equal to a multiplication factor of the motor current signal.08-13-2009

20120089631PROGRESSIVE EXPLORATION OF DATA RELATIONSHIPS - Parental dependency information for various data fields may be analyzed to create a data field hierarchy. Each of the data fields may be presented in a selectable list through an interface. Once a data field is selected, any immediate parent(s) and/or child(ren) field(s) of the active data element may be demarcated in the list according to the hierarchy. Additional data entry fields relating to the selected data field and its familial fields may also be displayed. Data in each of data fields may also be analyzed to identify fields with incomplete data. Systems and methods are provided.04-12-2012

20090056241MOISTURE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR BUILDING OPENINGS - Moisture management systems and methods are provided for managing moisture in a vicinity of an opening in a building wall. Such systems comprise a sill pan mountable in the building wall atop a horizontally-extending lower frame member of the opening. The sill pan may include: a base section having an upper surface which slopes downwardly and outwardly from a location interior to a lower flange portion of a window frame to an interstitial space between a sheathing layer of the building wall and an external building wall layer for directing moisture received thereon toward the interstitial space; and a plurality of transversely spaced-apart window-support members having upper surfaces located above the upper surface of the base section and oriented substantially horizontally for receiving a lower portion of the window frame. Such systems also comprise a lower vent mountable in the building wall outwardly of the sill pan. The lower vent may include: a vent component which defines a plurality of apertures that provide fluid communication between an exterior of the building wall and the interstitial space; and a hood shaped to extend downwardly and outwardly from a location above the apertures in the vent component and interior to the exterior building wall layer to a location external to the building wall.03-05-2009
20090183453APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING AIR FLOW IN A BUILDING WALL - An inter-panel ventilation apparatus is installed in a building wall between rows of siding, for providing air flow to and from an interstitial space between exterior and interior building wall layers. The inter-panel ventilation apparatus has a hood for carrying away water to an exterior of the building wall, and upper and lower apertured venting components respectively engaged with adjacent upper and lower siding panels. A plurality of inter-panel ventilation apparatus may be connected together with couplers to form a ventilation trim extending along a length of the building wall.07-23-2009
20090320384Water deviation unit for external wall fixtures - A water deviation unit for external wall features comprises a frame shaped plate adaptable to be attached to a sheathing of a composite external wall and a box like subassembly projecting outwardly from and connecting to the frame shaped plate and provided centrally with a relatively large aperture. The box like subassembly includes: 1) a pair of spaced apart walls extending outwardly and perpendicularly in vertical planes from adjacent sides of said relatively large aperture and continuing above the latter; 2) upper and lower means for inclining used to deflect outwardly the water and connected laterally respectively at a top and a bottom of the pair of spaced apart walls; and 3) means for controlling an entrance and a withdrawal from an interior of the composite external, disposed between and joining the spaced apart walls.12-31-2009

20110071801METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DISPLAYING A REPRESENTATION OF A TRAFFIC INTERSECTION - A method and apparatus for displaying a representation of a traffic intersection on a display of a computer is disclosed. The method involves receiving operator input defining a relative orientation between a first roadway and a second roadway, the first and second roadways forming an intersection area therebetween. The method also involves receiving an operator selection of a design vehicle that is expected to use the traffic intersection, the design vehicle being defined by a plurality of design vehicle parameters. The method further involves generating at least one turning path of the design vehicle through the intersection between the first roadway and the second roadway, and generating first vehicle extent locations associated with passage of the design vehicle along the at least one turning path. The method also involves generating an outer edge of the intersection area, the outer edge being generally aligned with selected ones of the first vehicle extent locations, and generating display signals for causing the computer display to display an image representing the traffic intersection.03-24-2011

20110246111Real-Time Monitoring, Feedback, Identification and Labeling Systems for Condom and Glove Products Quality Information and Methods Thereof - The present invention pertains to the technical fields of production and testing of condom and glove products. The invention specifically discloses a type of real-time monitoring, feedback, identification and consistent labeling system for quality information of condom and glove products. The system includes a collection module, a processing output module connected to the collection module, an application module connected to the processing output module, and also a query module. This system allows users (consumers) to obtain real-time collected product production data or pre-entered, encryption code or pre-entered information data from each product and to compare these data with pre-entered product performance indexes. The invention provides a solution to the problem of failure in individual product quality verification and its trace objectively and directly due to absence of independent information code that are applied in real time and that is in conformity to the corresponding product, thus preventing mixture of unqualified products with qualified products, intentionally or not, and partial or complete package recycling for resale to further endanger users' interest and block the implementation of supervision. Therefore, responsibility and self-discipline on the part of the manufacturer will be improved and both supervisory officials and consumers are told to further distinguish the product quality.10-06-2011

20110277204SAFETY BAND WITH COMFORT CUFF - A safety band is provided having a tubular outer shell and a tubular inner sleeve which projects into the outer shell and is concentric therewith. The inner sleeve is designed and constructed from a resilient material whereby when an appendage of a wearer is inserted into the inner sleeve of the safety band the inner sleeve expands upon donning and thereby inherently constricts about the appendage of the wearer thus maintaining the outer shell in a desired position on the appendage of the wearer. In another embodiment of the invention, a string of at least one light source encircles the outer shell and is fixed thereto. In another embodiment of the invention, the outer shell includes a zipper means for facilitating entry of an appendage of a wearer. A band of retroreflective material fixed to the outer shell is provided in another embodiment of the invention.11-17-2011
