| 20090324328 | MANHOLE COVER SECURITY AND REMOVAL - A manhole cover includes a security device, preferably located beneath an upper surface thereof. A cover removing apparatus includes a magnetic element to hold the cover, when a pin of the apparatus is engaged with the security device of the cover. A push force, which may be applied through a port in the upper surface of the cover, for example, by the pin member, can deform, and thereby unlock, a spring-loaded locking member of the security device. The security device may further include at least one elongate member, which is caused to move from a first position to a second position, by the push force, in order to disengage the cover from a manhole, so that the cover may be removed from the manhole. | 12-31-2009 |

| 20090267246 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MANUFACTURING LENTICULAR PLASTICS BY CASTING - A method and apparatus for producing a lenticular plastic sheet from a material resin having a first surface and an opposite second surface employs a patterned chill roller having an outer surface defining a lenticular pattern thereon disposed adjacent and parallel to a nip roller so as to define a nip therebetween. A material resin is extruded onto the chill roller while in a molten state and begins to cool forming a sheet. Thereafter, the sheet passes into the nip so that the first surface of the sheet is in contact with the lenticular pattern of the chill roller. The lenticular pattern of the chill roller is subsequently transferred to the sheet. | 10-29-2009 |

| 20120112076 | REMOTE DETECTION OF RADIATION - Various embodiments of the present invention provide a method of detecting inaccessible radiation sources by measuring corresponding ions and excited molecules created by radiation, using LIDAR technology. The LIDAR system of the present invention employs a pulsed laser transmitter, a telescope receiver, and associated control and acquisition systems. Light propagates out from the laser transmitted and is directed into the volume surrounding the radioactive source, or the “ion cloud.” The ion cloud absorbs the transmitted light, which induces the non-fluorescing ions to fluoresce. Light from the ion cloud is then backscattered and the telescope receiver subsequently collects the photons from the backscattered light. The intensity of the fluorescence (determined by the photon count) is measured, which provides an indication of the number density of the ionized atoms. Algorithms can then be used to relate the measured ionization rates to the source activity. | 05-10-2012 |
