Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100113785REGIOSPECIFIC SYNTHESIS OF NICOTINE DERIVATIVES - Methods of synthesizing nicotine analogs and derivatives are described. The methods are particularly useful for the regioselective production of enantiomerically pure nicotine analogs having substituents at the C4 position. Intermediates useful for the synthesis of such compounds are also described.05-06-2010
20100331323SYNTHESIS AND REGIOSELECTIVE SUBSTITUTION OF 6-HALO- AND 6-ALKOXY NICOTINE DERIVATIVES - The present invention provides active compounds for modulating nicotinic acetylcholine receptors and methods of making the same. The methods of preparing the active compounds utilize different intermediate compounds.12-30-2010

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20120132682Duty belt system - One example of the invention describes a belt that is to be used by uniformed professional field personnel (e.g. law enforcement, fire, park department, search and rescue, private security, utilities personnel, military, etc.). Some examples of the invention introduce many new features which allow for improved access, comfort, reliability, ruggedness and cosmetics. In one embodiment, the description describes a metal rail on a belt, to which accessories attach. The other items of the inventions are the details of the buckle and its various designs. Other attachments and accessories, plus various setups and arrangements for the belts and buckles, are also presented here. For example, the elastomeric belt variation helps the user, when sitting, with the belt on.05-31-2012

20110301757ADAPTABLE CONTAINER HANDLING ROBOT WITH BOUNDARY SENSING SUBSYSTEM - An adaptable container handling robot includes a chassis, a container transport mechanism, a drive subsystem for maneuvering the chassis, a boundary sensing subsystem configured to reduce adverse effects of outdoor deployment, and a controller subsystem responsive to the boundary sensing subsystem. The controller subsystem is configured to detect a boundary, control the drive subsystem to turn in a given direction to align the robot with the boundary, and control the drive subsystem to follow the boundary.12-08-2011

20100169533MULTI-PORT SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ROUTING A DATA ELEMENT WITHIN AN INTERCONNECTION FABRIC - The present invention relates generally to a generic fabric interconnect system and method for providing a data path between and among nodes and processing elements within an interconnection fabric. More specifically, there is provided a device accessible by a host processor for expanding access over a first bus to a second bus, the first bus and the second bus each being adapted to separately connect to respective ones of a plurality of bus-compatible devices, each device which comprise a link, a first circuit adapted to couple between the first bus and the link, and a second circuit adapted to couple between the link and the second bus, the first circuit and the second circuit each being operated as a bridge and being operable to (a) send outgoing information serially through said link in a form different from that of the first bus and the second bus (b) approve an initial exchange between the first bus and the second bus in response to pending bus transactions having a characteristic signifying a destination across a device, and (c) allow the host processor, communicating through the first bus, to individually address different selectable ones of the bus-compatible devices on the second bus: (i) using on the first bus substantially the same type of addressing as is used to access devices on the first bus, and (ii) without first employing a second, intervening one of the bus-compatible devices on the second bus.07-01-2010
20120131255MULTI-PORT SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ROUTING A DATA ELEMENT WITHIN AN INTERCONNECTION FABRIC - A method and structure(s) for providing a data path between and among nodes and processing elements within an interconnection fabric are described. More specifically, a device comprising a first circuit configured to couple between a first bus and a link is described. The circuit may be configured to operate as a bridge, support PCI configuration cycles, send outgoing information serially through the link in a format different from that of the first bus, and allow a host processor, communicating through the first bus, to selectively address one or more remote devices to which the device is configured to allow access. In some embodiments, the first circuit may support “spoof-proof” data protocols, and the device may operate in multiple modes including root bridge, leaf bridge, and gateway mode. Multiple addressing models may also be used.05-24-2012
