Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110300002Ceramic Element - A heating element can comprise a ceramic material doped with various elements. The heating element can be heated by forcing a fuel to flow through the ceramic material, where the fuel interacts with the dopants. The interaction can produce energy in the form of heat. Inventive aspects of the present material include apparatus and methods for modulation of the heat energy, physical features providing for an increase in the rate of heat release, optimization of materials and material morphology for quantity and efficiency of heat release and provision for fueling and maintenance.12-08-2011

20080294842IMPLEMENTING FEEDBACK DIRECTED DEFERRAL OF NONESSENTIAL DASD OPERATIONS - A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided for implementing feedback directed deferral on nonessential direct access storage device (DASD) operations. A kernel DASD I/O manager maintains a queue depth count value for a DASD unit and maintains a busy flag that indicates when the queue depth count value is greater than a predefined threshold. The kernel DASD I/O manager defers optional operations responsive to the busy flag being set for the DASD unit.11-27-2008

20090037201Care Provider Online Interview System and Method - Audio and video data associated with an answer to an interview question associated with care is received from a care provider. The audio and video data associated with the answer to the interview question is stored. At least a portion of the stored audio and video data is selectively output in response to a request for the audio and video data. In some embodiments, a portion of a profile of a care provider is output in response to a request. The profile includes audio and video data associated with answers by the care provider to a set of care-related interview questions. Information associated with a subscription to a care provider service is received. The entire profile of the care provider is output after receiving the information associated with the subscription.02-05-2009

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080215473Method for Positively Identifying Livestock and Use Thereof In Legal Instruments Relating Thereto - The present invention comprises a method for identifying individual animals, and for using such identification in the creation of a secured interest therein. It relies on a unique and immutable characteristic of each animal, together with a system for representing such characteristic by a symbolic indicator. The symbolic indicator is used in instruments that create or relate to an interest in the animal, to facilitate subsequent identification of the animal, and execution of the secured interest by the secured creditor and search of recorded interests by third parties.09-04-2008

20080226680Method and composition for delivery of medicants to animals - According to the present invention, a vaccine or pharmaceutical-containing composition is applied to the muzzle area of the animal, which will then naturally use its tongue to clean itself. This behavior will cause the animal to deposit applied composition to the mucosa of the nasal and oral cavities, thus meeting the need for a simple, effective, and efficient vaccination or treatment method.09-18-2008

20110132398METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ANTI-FOULING AN ANEMOMETER - An apparatus and method for adaptive materials arranged in a variety of orientations and with a wide range of attachment configurations to induce structural vibrations at extremely high frequencies. These mechanical vibrations cause fouling agents to become detached and accordingly “clean” an otherwise dirty element or wire of a hot-wire anemometer, planar or curvilinear sensor surface, or display surfaces. They also can be made to vibrate at such frequencies with such intensities that local droplets of water are either shaken off or instantaneously cavitate, thereby allowing the elements to be used in all weather conditions.06-09-2011

20100172076Sliding Front Carriage for an Information Handling System Chassis - An information handling system chassis includes a chassis base, a carriage, and a carriage sliding system. The chassis base is configured to house a plurality of first electrical components. The carriage is configured to house one or more second electrical components such that a user may access the one or more second electrical components from a front side of the chassis. The carriage sliding system is configured to slidably couple the carriage to the chassis base such that the carriage can be slided forward to an access position and rearward to a storage position. In the storage position of the carriage, a front area of the chassis base configured to receive one or more first electrical components is covered by the carriage, whereas in the access position of the carriage, at least a portion of the front area of the chassis base is not covered by the carriage.07-08-2010
