20100180828	Portable Pet Refreshment Device - A single-serving, liquid or water filled, disposable container, particularly suited to provide portable refreshment for pets during walking or exercising. The device includes an integrated clip, particularly suited for easy attachment and removal from a pet's leash, pet owner's belt loop, fanny-pack, pocketbook, exercising equipment, etc. To provide pet refreshment, the device is unclipped from its tether, and a peel-back lid reveals the liquid, provided in a flat-bottomed container, suitable for placement on ground or floor. When the pet has consumed the liquid, the device can be discarded. The intention is for the device to be provided in multi-packs, and that all materials used can be recycled. The container size and serving portion are intended to be enough to provide refreshment, but must be lightweight enough to not hinder either the pets or owners movement during walking or exercising.	07-22-2010

20090020523	Systems and Methods for Providing Localized Heat Treatment of Metal Components - Systems and methods for providing localized heat treatment of metal components are provided. In this regard, a representative method includes: identifying a portion of a metal component to which localized heat treatment is to be performed; shielding an area in a vicinity of the portion of the metal component; and directing electromagnetic energy in the infrared (IR) spectrum toward the portion of the metal component such that the portion is heated to a desired temperature and such that the area in the vicinity of the portion that is subjected to shielding does not heat to the temperature desired for the heat treatment.	01-22-2009
20090094832	Heat treating apparatus and method of using same - An apparatus and method for heat treating the welded area of a repaired gas turbine engine component uses first and second heating elements. The heating elements each include an insulating tube supported by a support rod and wrapped with a conducing wire. One of the heating elements is sized to fit inside a recess in the gas turbine engine component, adjacent to the welded area, while the second heating element is placed outside the recess, but also adjacent to the welded area, thereby heating the welded area from two sides.	04-16-2009

20090065494	Systems and methods for providing localized heat treatment of gas turbine components - Systems and methods for providing localized heat treatment of gas turbine components are provided. In this regard, an exemplary method includes: identifying an area of a gas turbine component to which localized heat treatment is to be performed; positioning a resistance heating element, sized and shaped to transfer heat to the area, adjacent the area; electrically coupling a current-limiting power controller to the resistance heating element; and locally heating the area using the resistance heating element, with power being provided to the resistance heating element via the current-limiting power controller.	03-12-2009
