Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100325099User friendly notification system for favorable or desired sea conditions - A process, which provides for retrieving, computing, and storing available sea state condition data and user selected parameters notifies the user when his or her parameters are met. This embodiment computes forecasted sea state condition values to derive forecasted averages, and compares those averages to user selected thresholds for the selected locations. This embodiment proactively notifies users when desired sea state conditions will be met thus providing a more effective and safe way to plan on the water activities.12-23-2010

20100250119SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR THE DISPLAY OF INFORMATIONAL WAYPOINTS - Provided are methods and systems for automatically inserting intermediate waypoint information between travel critical waypoint information in an electronic waypoint list. The electronic waypoint list may contain travel critical waypoint information representing a planned track for a ship, an aircraft, a train or a terrestrial motor vehicle such as a truck. Two collinear, travel critical waypoints are received and inserted into the electronic list of waypoints. The location of an intermediate waypoint is then determined from a database containing records of a plurality of waypoints. If the location of the intermediate waypoint exists on a line between the at least two collinear, travel critical waypoints, then the intermediate waypoint is inserted in the electronic list of waypoints. If not, then the intermediate waypoint is discarded and another waypoint is examined to see if it exists on the line. The process is repeated until al of the intermediate waypoints have been reviewed and added or reviewed and rejected.09-30-2010

20090132601Identifying Opportunities for Effective Expansion of the Content of a Collaboration Application - Within a document collaboration system, such as a wiki application, a logging component operates in association with a server. The logging component automatically creates and maintains a log of interactions between the server and users of the document collaboration system. The content of the log has a predictable format. In one embodiment, an analysis component identifies, from the log, entries associated with a failed search for a document in the collaboration system database. The terms not represented in the database are identified from the failed search entry. In this manner, statistics related to frequently unsuccessful search terms are generated and utilized as a basis for identifying opportunities for effective expansion of the content of the collaboration application.05-21-2009
20090132651Sensitive Information Handling On a Collaboration System - On a document collaboration system, such as a wiki, the content of postings to the collaboration system is monitored for sensitive information. Under some embodiments, when instances of such sensitive information are detected, an e-mail is sent to the user that posted the collaboration page posting. In other embodiments, a message is then sent to a person associated with the entity that indicates that the information placed on the collaboration page is confidential information or is related to an asset of the entity. In further embodiments, individual people are assigned responsibility for monitoring the use of certain instances of sensitive information on the collaboration system. Each user is only notified when the instances they are responsible for appear on a collaboration page. In other embodiments, if a collaboration page includes an instance of sensitive information, access to the collaboration page is changed such that fewer people can access the collaboration page.05-21-2009

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20120126122HIGH REPETITION RATE PHOTOCONDUCTIVE TERAHERTZ EMITTER USING A RADIO FREQUENCY BIAS - A terahertz generation system that emits pulsed THz radiation and incorporates a rapidly oscillating, high voltage bias across electrodes insulated from a photoconductive material. The system includes an ultrafast optical pulse source configured to generate an optical pulse having a duration between about ten picoseconds and ten femtoseconds, the pulse further having a repetition rate of about one megahertz or higher. The system further includes a photoconductor configured to receive the optical pulse from the ultrafast optical pulse source and to generate a terahertz frequency pulse, the photoconductor having insulated electrodes. The system still further includes a radio frequency generator configured to apply an electric field to the photoconductor via the insulated electrodes.05-24-2012

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100074979Methods and Systems for Manufacturing Composite Parts with Female Tools - Methods and systems for manufacturing fiber-reinforced resin parts are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a method for manufacturing a fiber-reinforced resin part includes positioning a plurality of fibers on a mold surface of a female tool, and covering the fibers with a sealing layer. The method further includes pressing a portion of the covered fibers against an interior transition region (e.g., an internal radius) of the mold surface. While the portion of covered fibers is pressed against the interior transition region, air is removed from between the sealing layer and the mold surface to draw at least a partial vacuum between the sealing layer and the mold surface.03-25-2010

20080283177Tensioning device for composite structures - An apparatus to prepare a preform for fabrication includes a mandrel, anchoring groove, anchoring device, tensioning groove, and tensioning device. The mandrel receives the preform. The mandrel has a first mandrel end and a second mandrel end. The preform has a first preform end and a second preform end. The anchoring groove is disposed at the first mandrel end. The anchoring device is configured and located to urge the first preform end towards the anchoring groove to secure the first preform end therebetween. The tensioning groove is disposed between the first mandrel end and the second mandrel end. The tensioning device is configured and located to urge a portion of the preform into the tensioning groove.11-20-2008
