| 20090140100 | REUSABLE ORBITAL VEHICLE WITH INTERCHANGEABLE CARGO MODULES - A reusable module is affixed atop a reusable orbital vehicle (OV). Various configurations of the reusable module have identical external dimensions in the region of attachment to the OV to permit interchangeability. Different configurations can accommodate a variety of missions of different type and duration. A variety of cargo modules of different configurations allow cargo to be uplifted into orbit. In one embodiment, the cargo module is an unpressurized cargo module in which the cargo is exposed to the environment of space during the unloading process. The cargo module may also be a pressurized cargo module. In an alternative embodiment, the cargo module may include both a pressurized cargo module and unpressurized cargo module. | 06-04-2009 |
| 20100051751 | REUSABLE ORBITAL VEHICLE WITH INTERCHANGEABLE MODULES - A reusable module is affixed atop a reusable orbital vehicle (OV). Various configurations of the reusable module have identical external dimensions in the region of attachment to the OV, aerodynamic characteristics, and mounting configurations to permit interchangeability. Different configurations can accommodate a variety of missions of different type and duration. The module may be a cargo module, a satellite payload module or a passenger module. The passenger module is provided in a variety of configurations to accommodate a different number of passengers and cargo based on mission parameters. | 03-04-2010 |

| 20100010399 | HYDRO DRIVEN MASSAGING APPARATUS - A water pressure driven massage apparatus for massaging portions of the human body includes a housing adapted to be placed in an ordinary shower enclosure while a user is in the shower. A water pressure operated power device is rotatably mounted in the housing, and a shower water diverter valve selectively delivers water under pressure to a nozzle that directs a jet of water to impinge upon and rotatively drive the water pressure operated power device. The power device is connected to a gear reduction drive train that converts the rotary motion of the water pressure operated power device to reciprocal motion A rod extends through the housing of the massage apparatus, and the rod is reciprocally driven by the gear reduction drive train. The outer end of the reciprocating rod is adapted to be attached to, or configured into the shape of, a variety of massaging devices. | 01-14-2010 |

| 20090132408 | Auction for financially settled contracts - Various embodiments show a system for conducting an auction for a plurality of financially settled contracts: The system may comprise at least one processor. The at least one processor may be programmed to receive a plurality of first participant bids from a first participant and a plurality of second participant bids from a second participant. The at least one processor may also be programmed to match a batch of bids to create a plurality of awarded bids. The contracts may include, for example, an oil contract, a coal contract, a natural gas contract, an electricity contract, a weather contract, a weather-related events contract, a commodities contract, location specific service contracts (e.g., passenger contract and/or freight contracts). | 05-21-2009 |
