| 20090034361 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MIXING FLUIDS - Methods and fluid delivery systems mix fluids together. A blender of the system receives and blends at least two chemical compounds together for delivery to one or more vessels, tanks or process tools, such as chemical baths that facilitate processing (e.g., cleaning) of semiconductor wafers or other components. A first fluid enters into a bore of a mixing chamber of the blender through an aperture in a wall of the chamber to enable blending of the first fluid with a second fluid injected into a central region of the bore. | 02-05-2009 |

| 20090121860 | Method and apparatus for remotely monitoring a site - The present invention is directed to providing systems and methods for remotely monitoring sites to provide real-time information which can readily permit distinguishing false alarms, and which can identify and track the precise location of an alarm. In embodiments, monitoring capabilities such as intrusion/fire detection and tracking capabilities, can be implemented through the use of multistate indicators in an interface which permits information to be transmitted using standard network protocols from a remote site to a monitoring station in near real-time. In embodiments, communications can be handed from the centrally located host monitoring station to a mobile monitoring station (for example, a laptop computer in a responding vehicle, such as a police or fire vehicle). Additional embodiments include the measurement of environmental parameters such as temperature, carbon monoxide and differential air pressure to detect, monitor and manage a fire event. These measurements along with selected controllable output devices deployed in a space, such as sprinkler control valves and individually or zoned sprinkler heads, are used to initiate and control fire suppression technology both locally and remotely. For instance, a system of the present invention may detect a fire and cause a sprinkler system to disburse water in a facility. | 05-14-2009 |

| 20120071802 | Systems, Devices, and Methods for Mechanically Reducing and Fixing Bone Fractures - A fracture reduction is mechanically achieved by supporting a body region having the bone fracture on a frame. A first reduction mechanism on the frame is operated to apply to the bone fracture a first predefined force reduction vector that returns the bone fracture to a corrective alignment in a first anatomic orientation, while also mechanically maintaining the corrective alignment in the first anatomic orientation. Independently, a second reduction mechanism on the frame is operated to apply a second predefined force reduction vector that returns the bone fracture to a corrective alignment in a second anatomic orientation different than the first anatomic orientation without altering the corrective alignment in the first anatomic orientation, while mechanically maintaining the corrective alignment in the second anatomic orientation. The fracture reduction is mechanically fixed by mechanically guiding the placement at least one bone fixing device into the reduced bone fracture. | 03-22-2012 |
