20080314727Microporous Membrane for Flash Distillation - A microporous membrane for flash distillation comprising at least three layers having distinct properties is disclosed. Generally, the membranes contain outer layers of relatively small pore size, with an interior layer with relatively large pore size.

20100218595PARTICULATE FILTER AND METHOD OF USE - A particulate filter particularly suited for analytical gravimetric weighing applications is disclosed. The particulate filter includes a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) media supported by a ring and yields stable microgram and submicrogram weighing results. The support ring may be PTFE, metal foil, or another non-hygroscopic polymer such that the mass of the filter does not vary with changes in atmospheric moisture. The filter simplifies the discharge of electrostatic charge buildup such that when a conductive filter media is combined with a conductive ring device, the discharge may be accomplished by placing the filter on a grounded weighing pan or other surface. The particulate filter can simplify filter identification by including identification symbols imprinted on each side of the filter media. Due to the chemically inert qualities of its components, the particulate filter is particularly suited for extraction techniques used during the detection of polycyclic hydrocarbons as is conducted in emissions and ambient air testing.09-02-2010

20100091286Filter Design for Colorimetric Measurement - A color detector includes a light source configured to generate light with a spectrum of wavelengths; a plurality of filters in optical communication with the light source, wherein each filter is configured to pass a bandwidth of wavelengths around a different peak wavelength; and a plurality of photodetectors, each configured to receive light passed through a respective filter of the plurality of filters. The bandwidth of each filter is configured to Correspond to a bandwidth of a curve from a set of standard color matching functions. A method for improving color detection accuracy in a color detector includes matching a bandwidth passed by each of a plurality of color filters with a bandwidth and peak wavelength of a Commission Internationale de I'Eclairage (CIE) color matching function; and separately detecting an amount of light passed by each the filter.04-15-2010
20100321694COLOR DETECTOR HAVING AREA SCALED PHOTODETECTORS - A color detector includes a light source, a filter, and a photodetector. The photodetector outputs a signal proportional to the amount of a predetermined color of light that passes through the corresponding filter. When used in an array, each filter may have different transmission characteristics, and each color signal may have a different magnitude and/or signal-to-noise ratio. This may be corrected for by adjusting the area of each of the photodetectors and corresponding filters. In other words, the areas if the photodetectors may be configured to equalize the color signal of a reference color and thereby maximize the signal-to-noise ratio of the color signals the sensor is intended to measure. The area of the photodetector may be based on a response curve of the photodetector as a function of wavelength, a response curve of the filter as a function of wavelength, and the amount of light as a function of wavelength generated by the light source, among other factors.12-23-2010

20100281442TECHNIQUE FOR DETERMINING CIRCUIT INTERDEPENDENCIES - Embodiments of a device (such as a computer system or a circuit tester), a method, and a computer-program product (i.e., software) for use with the device are described. These systems and processes may be used to statistically characterize interdependencies between sub-circuits in an integrated circuit (which are referred to as ‘aggressor-victim relationships’). In particular, statistical relationships between the aggressors and victims are determined from values of a performance metric (such as clock speed) when the integrated circuit fails for a group of state-change difference vectors. Using these statistical relationships, a worst-case sub-group of the state-change difference vectors, such as the worst-case sub-group, is selected. This sub-group can be used to accurately test the integrated circuit.11-04-2010

20090141053Printing methods and apparatus - The identical printing of a stack of sheets (e.g., paper) is performed by vertically stacked inkjet printing units, each of which prints sheets at a printing speed. All sheets are fed from a stack along an infeed path at a feeding speed which is faster than the printing speed. The sheets are sequentially introduced into the respective printing heads, e.g., by the actuation of a gate mechanism disposed in the infeed path. After the sheets have been printed in the printing units at the slower printing speed, and after the print medium has been fixed, the sheets are discharged from the printing units and fed along a common outfeed path at the higher feeding speed. For variable-data printing, raster image processing is performed by assigned separate RIP computer units to process respective batches of the pages of the printing job.06-04-2009

20090102114SHEET FEEDING METHOD AND MECHANISM WITH DOUBLE SHEET DETECTOR - A feeder head includes suction belts to sequentially feed top sheets from a stack of sheets (e.g., paper). Before the belts receive suction and drive power, a suction cup raises the top sheet at a location between the belts to produce a corrugated shape in the top sheet which induce separation of a second sheet that might be adhered to the top sheet. A double sheet detector includes a pair of rollers forming a nip through which a fed sheet passes, causing the rollers to separate. The amount of separation is transmitted to a transducer which generates a signal proportional to the sheet thickness. Signals from the transducer are frequently sensed and averaged, so that signal variations resulting from irregularities in the shape of the rollers are canceled out.04-23-2009

20090000339CHANNELED MOISTURE MANAGEMENT SOCK - An improved moisture transfer interface for knit products, such as socks. The interface requires a first knit portion comprising predominately hydrophilic yarn and a second knit portion comprising predominately hydrophobic yarn. The first and second knit portions each possess elongated fingers of their respective yarns which are interlocked with one another. Moisture that is absorbed by the hydrophilic first knit portion is wicked into the hydrophobic second knit portion and subsequently evaporates. The interlocked fingers provide a more effective moisture transfer interface than a non-fingered interface.01-01-2009
