| 20090327191 | Magnetic screening system network - A magnetic screening system uses directional gradiometers with high resolution and accuracy to measure magnetic field signatures of target objects (e.g., gun, knife, cell phone, keys) in a volume of interest. The measured signatures can be compared to signatures of known objects stored in a local database. Various mathematical processes may be used to identify or classify target object signatures. In a network of magnetic screening systems, the magnetic screening systems can transmit signatures to a central signature database, and a management computer can share the central signature database with all of the magnetic screening systems on the network. The magnetic screening system can operate in multiple modes, such as a tracking mode, measurement mode, calibration mode, and self-test mode. Calibration may be performed in a substantially continuous manner to allow calibration parameters to be adjusted during system operation (e.g., tracking mode) to compensate for changes in conditions that may impact calibration parameters. Through use of unique processes and designs, the magnetic screening system can achieve a high rate of processing persons for target objects. | 12-31-2009 |

| 20090250138 | METHOD FOR MANAGING STORAGE OF GASEOUS HYDROGEN - The present invention discloses methods for managing the storage of gaseous hydrogen and increasing the utilization rate of gaseous hydrogen stored in a cascade storage system. In order to increase the hydrogen utilization rate of the cascade storage system, after dispensing gaseous hydrogen to a hydrogen vehicle, gaseous hydrogen is transferred via a compressor from at least one storage vessel at a lower pressure to at least one storage vessel at a higher, dispensable pressure. The methods of the present invention economically and efficiently increase the utilization rate of gaseous hydrogen stored in a cascade storage system. | 10-08-2009 |

| 20110052353 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR COLLECTING AND TRANSPORTING OIL WELL DRILL CUTTINGS - Sludge having drill cuttings produced while drilling an oil well are moved from a shaker screen to a holding tank. The sides of the holding tank slope toward each other and form a half circle trough at the bottom of the tank. A discharge opening is aligned with the trough, and a conveyer is located in the trough for moving sludge in the holding tank toward the discharge opening. A second incline conveyer or high suction vacuum source is coupled to the discharge opening to move sludge from the discharge opening of the holding tank into a container or drying system. A drying system is coupled between the high suction vacuum source, a container and the discharge opening to separate fluids from the sludge. A drying system located near the discharge end of an inclined conveyor and between the end and a container separates fluids from the sludge. | 03-03-2011 |

| 20110139893 | LOW FREQUENCY SYNTHETIC JET ACTUATOR AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THEREOF - A system and method for lowering the structural natural frequency of a synthetic jet actuator is disclosed. A synthetic jet actuator is provided that includes a first plate, a second plate spaced apart from the first plate and arranged parallelly thereto, and a spacer element configured to space the first plate apart from the second plate and define a chamber along with the first and second plates. The spacer element includes at least one orifice formed therein such that the chamber is in fluid communication with an environment external to the chamber, and the spacer element is constructed to deform in a bending motion in response to a deflection of at least one of the first and second plates. | 06-16-2011 |
| 20110162823 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR REMOVING HEAT FROM ELECTRONIC DEVICES USING SYNTHETIC JETS - An apparatus for removing heat comprises a heat sink having a cavity, and a synthetic jet stack comprising at least one synthetic jet mounted within the cavity. At least one rod and at least one engaging structure to provide a rigid positioning of the at least one synthetic jet with respect to the at least one rod. The synthetic jet comprises at least one orifice through which a fluid is ejected. | 07-07-2011 |

| 20110316416 | Apparatus and Method for Reducing Acoustical Noise in Synthetic Jets - Apparatus and method are provided for reducing acoustical noise when cooling a device, such as a lamp system. The apparatus includes at least a set of a first synthetic jet and a second synthetic jet. The first and second synthetic jets are responsive to respective actuating signals having a phase difference (e.g., 180°) between one another chosen to reduce acoustic noise produced by the first and second synthetic jets when cooling the device. | 12-29-2011 |
