| 20100247860 | Configuration for Increasing the Bond Strength Between a Structural Material and Its Reinforcement - A method of coarse enameling material, such as the surface of conventional rebar, which increases adhesion between the surface and a matrix, such as a cement-based mortar or concrete, in which the material is embedded. In one embodiment, a glass fit is fired onto a surface to achieve an enamel finish, the finish is then cooled and heat softened. A refractory material, such as dry portland cement, is applied to the heat softened enamel, and the resultant coarse coating is then fired and cooled to produce a final hard coarse enameled surface. The reaction of the refractory component in the coarse enameled surface upon insertion in fresh mortar or concrete prevents the formation of soft precipitates at the interface of the cementitious matrix and the coarse-enameled reinforcement. One embodiment involves adding portland cement Type I-II to a softened glass frit as a final coating over an initial base coating that if fired on the steel to prevent corrosion of the underlying steel. The coarse topcoat of enamel produces a strong chemical bond between it and a concrete or mortar matrix and the base coat of enamel eliminates or significantly reduces the potential for corrosion. | 09-30-2010 |

| 20100272529 | Indirect Cooling of a Rotary Cutting Tool - An indirect cooling system for a rotating cutting tool uses a cryogenic coolant that is delivered to a cavity formed on the back surface of the cutting element, providing cooling near the cutting edge of the element. Because the total flow rate of the working fluid is low (less than 0.08 Liters/min/cutting edge), the fluid can be safely vented to atmosphere from the cavity, and as a result, no specialized coolant recovery or ventilation equipment is needed. The cavity may be formed with fins to enhance the heat transfer between the cutting element and the coolant, and coolant may additionally be sprayed directly onto the exterior surface of the element to cool the tool-chip interface. The indirect cooling system may be used for hard to machine metals and composites, as well as the machining of conventional materials without the use of traditional cutting fluids. | 10-28-2010 |

The coolant delivery tube couples with a cryogenic manifold located in a standard tool holder in the end of the spindle. The cryogenic manifold couples the cryogen to a tool that is mounted in the tool holder. Before a tool change operation, the coolant delivery tube is raised to disconnect it from the cryogenic manifold, and to turn off the flow of cryogen to the delivery tube. | 10-28-2010 |

| 20110104481 | Automatic toilet flush blocker - A biodegradable paper cover that temporarily blocks the “eye” of a motion sensor on an automatic toilet providing complete flush control to the user: Motion sensor toilets often flush when it is not desirable, such as when a person is on it. This is especially true for young children because their stature does not block the sensor consistently. According to research, the unexpected flush is one of children's biggest fears. This can lead to refusal to use the toilet, high anxiety, or annoyance for any aged person. The blocker is placed over the “eye” to temporarily disable the automatic flush of the toilet. When the blocker is removed the toilet returns to normal functioning and flushes. The blocker is disposed of in the toilet where it dissolves. It eliminates the untimely flush, as well as the potential transfer of germs. The blocker provides complete flush control to the user. | 05-05-2011 |

| 20100200473 | FRAGILE PREMIUM SEPARATOR - Upstream and downstream grippers clamp to one or more seal zones on a bandolier of packaged premiums, such that the downstream gripper(s) and upstream clipper(a) are on opposite sides of a wakened separation line. The upstream and downstream gripper(s) are independently displaced by motive devices in a downstream direction. Further displacement of the downstream gripper(s) relative to the upstream gripper(s) causes the separation line to tear, thus separating an end premium package from the rest of the bandolier. In one embodiment, the grippers clamp to the seal zones at locations offset from the bandolier axis and to one side thereof, thus causing a gradual tearing along the separation line and easier, less stressful separation. | 08-12-2010 |

| 20100332321 | Method and System for Providing Advertising Through Content Specific Nodes Over the Internet - Methods and systems for providing advertising content over the Internet through a hierarchical content-specific node structure and pricing advertising delivery over each node independently. Independent delivery and pricing allows an advertiser to pay more for advertisements delivered to a narrowly targeted audience likely to be interested in the goods or services offered by the advertising entity and to pay less for advertisements directed at a more general audience who may or may not have an interest in the goods or services offered. The less content specific the node is, the less targeted the advertisement will be, and therefore, the less valuable the advertisement will be to the advertising entity. Targeted advertising to multiple levels of content specific nodes is enabled. | 12-30-2010 |
