20090277902Lid Having A Utensil - A lid for use with a jar having an opening includes a closure member configured to cover the jar opening when the closure member is fastened to the jar. The lid includes an attachment member coupled to the closure member to selectively fasten the closure member to the jar. A catch is coupled to the closure member that extends toward the jar when the closure member is fastened to the jar. The lid includes a utensil having a use end and an opposed attachment end. A hook extends from the utensil attachment end so as to rotatably couple the utensil to the catch, each hook being removable from the catch only when the utensil is generally parallel to the closure member. The utensil has a length that prevents the utensil from being generally parallel to the closure member when the closure member is fastened to the jar.11-12-2009

20110150408CABLE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM HAVING SPOOLS ARRANGED ON PARALLEL TRACKS - A cable management system includes a mounting member defining at least two substantially parallel tracks and at least two spools. Each spool includes an engagement member located at the proximate end of the spool and an annular flange coupled to the distal end of the spool. The engagement member is configured to releasably engage with one of the tracks. Each spool is independently mountable to the tracks using the engagement member. Each of the tracks has a central portion on a first face of the mounting member and at least one insertion portion. The insertion portion is substantially perpendicular to and contiguous with the central portion of the track. When the spools are mounted on the mounting member, the spools are positioned such that their respective engagement members are engaged with the central portion of the track.06-23-2011

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110054689ROBOTS, SYSTEMS, AND METHODS FOR HAZARD EVALUATION AND VISUALIZATION - A robot includes a hazard sensor, a locomotor, and a system controller. The robot senses a hazard intensity at a location of the robot, moves to a new location in response to the hazard intensity, and autonomously repeats the sensing and moving to determine multiple hazard levels at multiple locations. The robot may also include a communicator to communicate the multiple hazard levels to a remote controller. The remote controller includes a communicator for sending user commands to the robot and receiving the hazard levels from the robot. A graphical user interface displays an environment map of the environment proximate the robot and a scale for indicating a hazard intensity. A hazard indicator corresponds to a robot position in the environment map and graphically indicates the hazard intensity at the robot position relative to the scale.03-03-2011

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080318496METHODS OF CRYSTALLOGRAPHICALLY REORIENTING SINGLE CRYSTAL BODIES - A method of changing the crystallographic orientation of a single crystal body is disclosed that includes the steps of characterizing a crystallographic orientation of the single crystal body and calculating a misorientation angle between a select crystallographic direction of the single crystal body and a projection of the crystallographic direction along a plane of a first exterior major surface of the single crystal body. The method further includes removing material from at least a portion of the first exterior major surface to change the misorientation angle.12-25-2008

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090305206OFF-ICE EDGE TRAINER AND METHOD - An off-ice edge trainer includes a platform having at least one substantially planar surface that is arranged at a first angle relative to horizontal and at a second angle relative to the horizontal. The first angle and the second angle are greater than 0°. The first angle is configured to cause a user standing on the at least one substantially planar surface of the ice-skating training system to shift their weight to a predetermined portion of a skate blade.12-10-2009

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100005821System and Method for Controlling a Refrigeration Desuperheater - A system for controlling a desuperheater includes a first temperature sensor coupled to a refrigerant discharge gas line of a compressor; and a controller operatively coupled to at least the first temperature sensor, the compressor, and the desuperheater. The controller controls the desuperheater based at least in part on temperature data received from the first temperature sensor.01-14-2010

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110139075System and Method for Production of Predatory Mites - The insect inoculation system and method optimizes the conditions wherein host insect cadavers are infected by a selected parasite. Host insect cadavers are exposed to the selected parasite within the inoculation chamber. The inoculation chamber is configured to optimize the parasite infection and reproduction process. The insect parasites produce multiple offspring which remain in the infected insect cadavers. At the end of the inoculation process, the infected cadavers are removed from the chamber and the insect parasites are harvested and used in bio-pest control processes.06-16-2011
