20120066874 | Fastener having a flexible base - Fasteners comprising male and female assemblies. At least one of the male or female assembly may comprise a flexible base that flexes to conform to a non-planar mounting surface. The flexible base is bonded to the stud and/or the socket using techniques that provide a high degree of strength to withstand repeated engagement and disengagement of the fastener. Moreover, in certain embodiments the bonding techniques eliminate the need for mechanical means (for example, threads) to secure the stud to the flexible base. Mechanical tests show that the male assembly according to certain embodiments has 62% more strength than known male assemblies. | 03-22-2012 |

20100211337 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DETECTION USING MAGNETIC GRADIENT TENSOR - Locating and characterising a magnetised body involves moving a magnetic gradient tensor sensor relative to the magnetised body along a profile, or allowing the magnetised body to move along a profile past the sensor. Magnetic gradient tensor measurements are obtained at points along the profile. A rotational invariant calculated from the eigenvalues of the magnetic gradient tensor measurements is then used to locate and/or characterise the body. The rotational invariant can be the scaled moment of a point dipole representation of the magnetised body, or one third of the square root of the scaled moment. The rotational invariant is modelled and sufficient measurements obtained to over-determine parameters of the model. A system of linear equations resulting from a model of the gradient tensor elements is then solved using the determined values of parameters. | 08-19-2010 |
20110013481 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DETECTING MARINE DEPOSITS - Noise compensation in controlled source electromagnetics (CSEM) comprises measuring time-varying magnetic gradients of the marine environment subjected to CSEM. From the measured magnetic gradients, oceanographic electric and magnetic field noise is determined and used for noise compensation of CSEM measurements of electric and magnetic fields. Selection of magnetic gradient measurement provides improved measurement of oceanographic magnetic noise as other electromagnetic noise sources produce negligible magnetic gradients in the marine environment. Electric field noise is then predicted from the magnetic measurements. | 01-20-2011 |

20130017145 | METHODS FOR SYNTHESIZING METAL OXIDE NANOWIRESAANM Sunkara; Mahendra KumarAACI LouisvilleAAST KYAACO USAAGP Sunkara; Mahendra Kumar Louisville KY USAANM Kumar; VivekanandAACI LouisvilleAAST KYAACO USAAGP Kumar; Vivekanand Louisville KY USAANM Kim; Jeong H.AACI LouisvilleAAST KYAACO USAAGP Kim; Jeong H. Louisville KY USAANM Clark; Ezra LeeAACI LouisvilleAAST KYAACO USAAGP Clark; Ezra Lee Louisville KY US - A method of synthesizing a metal oxide nanowire includes the steps of: combining an amount of a transition metal or a transition metal oxide with an amount of an alkali metal compound to produce a mixture; activating a plasma discharge reactor to create a plasma discharge; exposing the mixture to the plasma discharge for a first predetermined time period such that transition metal oxide nanowires are formed; contacting the transition metal oxide nanowires with an acid solution such that an alkali metal ion is exchanged for a hydrogen ion on each of the transition metal oxide nanowires; and exposing the transition metal oxide nanowires to the plasma discharge for a second predetermined time period to thermally anneal the transition metal oxide nanowires. Transition metal oxide nanowires produced using the synthesis methods described herein are also provided. | 01-17-2013 |

20090123247 | Ultra high pressure machining spindle - A system and technique wherein an ultra high-pressure (UHP) stream of water passing through a calibrated orifice achieves high water velocity. The orifice would be made from an extremely hard material such as sapphire or diamond. This high velocity stream impacts on a driving fluid turbine impeller attached to a shaft forming an opposed high-speed tool, which results in very high rotational speed with very high available power to do work. Off/On Control of the system would be accomplished through an integrated ultra high-pressure valve system. | 05-14-2009 |

20110080602 | Optimizing To-Be Printed Objects During Print Job Processing - Methods for processing print jobs in rendering devices include representing multiple to-be-printed objects with fewer such objects before processing of the objects occurs. In this manner, processing and memory requirements are optimized. Examples include utilizing a single raster operation function of one object for an entirety of objects; using fewer raster operation functions than originally required for the entirety of objects; creating a no processing (NOP) situation; and effectively creating a mask. Other aspects include modifying raster operation functions of one or more objects to have fewer variables than originally specified by the print job. Printers having stored or accessible computer executable instructions for performing the steps are also disclosed as are host devices that may direct or control the printer to perform the same. | 04-07-2011 |

20090109459 | Processing Print Jobs - Methods for processing print jobs include flagging, or not, to-be-printed objects having PDL-specified math or logic functions requiring hard processing operations, such as two or more inputs. The math or logic functions preferably reside in ink attributes of display list objects corresponding to the to-be-printed objects. To-be-printed pages of the print job become divided into bands. Bands with to-be-printed objects therein have band display lists constructed in the event the to-be-printed objects become flagged. On a band-by-band basis, if bands have band display lists flagged with hard processing operations, contone bands become constructed. The contone bands result from color information blending between overlapping pixels of to-be-printed objects or an object and a contone page. A contone page includes color information of the to-be-printed page in a first color space. To-be-printed objects are rendered in a second color space in device specific page(s) of memory. | 04-30-2009 |

20140212852 | DISTORTION TRAINING TABLE - An apparatus and methods for training workers to recognize distortions. One example method includes positioning vacuum arms on a tilt-table top of a distortion training table situated in a horizontal position. The method further includes positioning locator arms on the tilt-table top in proximity to the vacuum arms, positioning a body panel on the locator arms to situate an inner surface of the body panel adjacent to each of the vacuum arms, applying suction to the inner surface of the body panel using the vacuum arms wherein the suction creates non-destructive distortions on an outer surface of the body panel, instructing the workers in tactile recognition of the distortions on the outer surface of the body panel, moving the tilt-table top from the horizontal position to a vertical position, and instructing the workers in visual recognition of the distortions on the outer surface of the body panel. | 07-31-2014 |

20090090762 | METHOD FOR CONTROLLING A FASTENER DRIVING TOOL USING A GAS SPRING - A portable linear fastener driving tool is provided that drive staples, nails, or other linearly driven fasteners. The tool uses a gas spring principle, in which a cylinder filled with compressed gas is used to quickly force a piston through a driving stroke movement, while a driver also drives a fastener into a workpiece. The piston/driver is then moved back to its starting position by use of a rotary-to-linear lifter, and the piston again compresses the gas above the piston, thereby preparing the tool for another driving stroke. The driver has protrusions along its edges that contact the lifter, which lifts the driver during a return stroke. A pivotable latch is controlled to move into either an interfering position or a non-interfering position with respect to the driver protrusions, and acts as a safety device, by preventing the driver from making a full driving stroke at an improper time. | 04-09-2009 |
