20110262822CONTROLS GIVING -25.degree. C FREEZE START CAPABILITY TO A FUEL CELL SYSTEM - A method for shutting down a fuel cell system including operating a fuel cell stack. the method includes providing an increased cathode air flow so as to dry fuel cell membranes in the stack until a first desired level of high frequency resistance is achieved, rehydrating the cell membranes of the stack until a second desired level of high frequency resistance is achieved, and operating the stack with a decreased cathode input relative humidity until a third desired level of high frequency resistance is achieved.10-27-2011
20110264317SELF-LEARNING SATELLITE NAVIGATION ASSISTED HYBRID VEHICLE CONTROLS SYSTEM - A self-learning assisted hybrid vehicle system that includes a main power source for providing power to the vehicle, a supplemental power source for providing supplemental power for providing power to the vehicle and an electric motor or other mechanical system for driving the vehicle. The system also includes a self-learning controls unit that receives and stores information from a plurality of inputs associated with the vehicle. The self-learning controls unit uses the information to make predictions about future driving conditions of the vehicle to efficiently utilize the power sources of the hybrid vehicle.10-27-2011

20110210163Package Having An Adhesive-Based Reclosable Fastener And Methods Therefor - A reclosable package for a plurality of products is described herein. The reclosable package includes an adhesive-based fastener that utilizes a low tack adhesive and pivotably connected first and second compartments, each compartment configured to receive the plurality of products therein. The adhesive-based fastener includes opposing portions of resealable adhesive on interior surfaces of the first and second compartments respectively, so that the interior surfaces can be pivoted together to close the reclosable package.09-01-2011
20110211778Reclosable Fasteners, Packages Having Reclosable Fasteners, and Methods for Creating Reclosable Fasteners - A UV-curable pressure sensitive adhesive, a package having an adhesive-based reclosable fastener including the pressure sensitive adhesive, and a method of forming the package is described herein. The package includes a cavity and opposing panels configured to cover an opening to the cavity. The reclosable fastener is a UV-cured pressure sensitive adhesive comprised of one or more UV-curable acrylic oligomers, one or more tack control components, and, optionally, an elastomeric material. An adhesive component ratio defines an effective ratio made up of the weight percent of the UV-curable acrylic oligomer relative to the sum of the weight percents of the tack control component and elastomeric component, where the ratio provides a fastener with a first peel adhesion and subsequent peel adhesions effective to form the adhesive-based fastener into a reclosable fastener.09-01-2011
20110213092Low-Tack, UV-Cured Pressure Sensitive Adhesive Suitable for Reclosable Packages - UV-cured pressure sensitive adhesive including one or more UV-curable acrylic oligomers, one or more tack control components, and, optionally, an elastomeric material is described herein. The adhesive includes an adhesive component ratio of the various adhesive components effective to provide desired first peel adhesions and subsequent peel adhesions.09-01-2011

20080207795Binder Formulations Utilizing Furanic Components - Broadly, the invention provides for a cold-box aggregate binder typically being a mixture of phenolic or urea resin and a furanic material selected from one or more of the group consisting of 08-28-2008
20080207796Furanic resin aggregate binders and method - Broadly, the invention provides for newly available bio-derived formaldehyde free furanic materials for aggregate binding. The specific example case is aggregate binding for forms used in the metal casting process. The new materials make possible higher productivity and lower phenol, formaldehyde, urea, and/or furfuryl alcohol content in the metal casting form-making process. It is expected that the formulations will work well in other aggregate binding situations as well.08-28-2008
20080217801Apparatus for forming aggregate composite forms - Broadly, the invention provides for apparatus to form and gas-cure composite and or aggregate materials while controlling the flow of compound at a desired concentration and pressure.09-11-2008
20080221236Furanic grouts - Broadly, the invention provides for newly available essentially formaldehyde-free furanic materials for lower-staining, higher reactivity, chemically resistant grout formulations.09-11-2008
20090105377RESINS, LOW TEMPERATURE FORMULATIONS, AND COATINGS DERIVED THEREFROM - A series of resins were synthesized using a range of bio-based materials to control the molecular architecture, and therefore the properties, of the inventive resins. The utility of these resins was demonstrated in the formulation of powder coatings, such as β-hydroxy amide crosslinked and hybrid types. Generally, the bio-based resins flowed out on heating faster than conventional petrochemically-based resins, allowing the use of lower temperatures in the curing oven than is typically possible and a more active catalyst system, especially in the carboxylic acid-epoxy crosslinked hybrid coatings formulations.04-23-2009
20100081774FORMALDEHYDE FREE BINDERS - New polyols; oligomers, and polymers made from the polyols; and binders made from the new polyols, oligomers, or polymers that can be used in binders, where the binders typically include one or more polyols, and a polyfunctional acid or a polyfunctional nitrile.04-01-2010

20090003729Fiducial artifact detection and compensation algorithm - Defects in an image forming system may give rise to scratched fiducials, missing fiducial regions, or other defects in an image that can run parallel to the process direction. The present disclosure provides for a fiducial compensation method and system for detecting defects thereby allowing spatial tone reproduction curves to be calculated and applied to a digital image in order to eliminate printed streaks due to a photoreceptor's non-uniformities.01-01-2009
20100097621METHOD FOR ACCURATELY FINDING A PHYSICAL LOCATION ON AN IMAGE BEARING SURFACE FOR TONER IMAGES FOR OPTIMAL STREAK CORRECTION - A method for determining a location on an image bearing surface of an image printing system where a toner image is to be printed is provided. The method comprises generating a first signal from a detector that is configured to detect a reference mark on the image bearing surface, and a second signal from a clock system that counts. incremental movements of the image bearing surface, determining a first value that correlates the first signal and the second signal, where the first value corresponds to a value of the second signal at a start of characterization of the image bearing surface, and determining a second value using the first value, where the second value provides the location on the image bearing surface where the toner image is to be printed.04-22-2010
