| 20080296907 | ELECTRIC VEHICLE WITH REGENERATION - An electric powered vehicle has a rechargeable power source coupled to at least one electric motor through a controller. The motor(s) are coupled to a drive train for converting the rotational movement of the motor(s) into linear motion of the vehicle. At least one generator is coupled to the motor(s) for generating a first electric potential for recharging the power source. On the front surface of the vehicle is an air passage that channels air movement to a fan when moving in a forward motion. The fan rotates in response to the air movement and is coupled to a fan generator that turns in response, generating a second electric potential for recharging the power source. The tips of the fan blades are equipped with magnetic material and a series of electro-magnets are configured in proximity of the blades so they can be sequentially energized in absence of air movement to rotate the fan and generating the second electric potential in absence of air movement. The motor(s) and generators will function as a braking system to slow the vehicle when needed and generate electric potentials for charging the power source. | 12-04-2008 |

| 20100233989 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR MODELING, MONITORING, ESTIMATING AND CONTROLLING POWER CONSUMPTION IN BATTERY-OPERATED DEVICES - A remote battery-operated device operates in accordance with a first set of operating parameters. During operation, power consumption information is generated and transmitted via a data network to a remote location for later use. In one embodiment, the remote location transmits one or more modified parameters back to the battery-operated device which control subsequent operation of the device. In this manner, power consumption within the device may be controlled to achieve a predetermined or desired operating lifetime. | 09-16-2010 |

The first set of operating parameters enable operation of the battery-operated device in a first operating mode. The processing system calculates an observed battery life for the device based on the received historical power consumption data and a power capacity value representing a power capacity of the battery resident in the device. This observed battery life may be output to a user and used to determine whether the device will meet a predetermined operational life. If not, parameters for the device can be modified and a new projected battery life calculated (simulation), with the new modified parameters controlling power consumption in the device. | 09-16-2010 |
| 20100235121 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR MODELING, SIMULATING, ESTIMATING AND CONTROLLING POWER CONSUMPTION IN BATTERY-OPERATED DEVICES - A computer-based processing system simulates and estimates power consumption (i.e., battery life) in a battery-operated based on a set of operating parameters which is intended to control operation of the battery-operated device in a first operating mode. In the event the estimated/projected battery life fails to meet a predetermined desired battery life (i.e., operational life of the device), one or more operating parameters may be modified and power consumption is again calculated. Several iterations may occur. When a desired battery life is achieved, the battery-operated device is configured with a final set of operating parameters and, when deployed the device operates in accordance with the configured parameters. | 09-16-2010 |

| 20100222864 | NEUROVASCULAR STENT AND METHOD - A stent designed for catheter delivery to a target neurovascular site via a tortuous path, in a contracted state, and deployment at the target site, in an expanded state, is disclosed. The stent includes a plurality of expandable tubular members, where member is composed of a continuous wire element forming a plurality of wave segments, and segment contains a pair of opposite looped peaks having a wave shape such that the distance between adjacent sides of a wave, on proceeding from a peak toward opposite peaks, increases monotonically with an inflection point therebetween. The expandable tubular members are joined through adjacent peaks by axial connectors. Radial expansion of the stent from a contracted to expanded state is accommodated by movement of adjacent wave-segment peaks away from one another, without significant change in the axial dimension of the stent. Also disclosed are a system incorporating the stent, and a method of treating a neurovascular abnormality. | 09-02-2010 |

| 20100281708 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR REMOVING WATER FROM HIDE OF CATTLE - An apparatus and method for a water removing roller device for removing excess water from the hide of a cattle, which uses pliable urethane roller stacks that can be attached by an arm structure. The roller structure can be mounted on a hinge to an arm thereby allowing the structure to swivel. The arm can be attached to a stationery device with a hinge, which is also allowed to swivel. A tension device, for example, a spring or a hydraulic cylinder can be attached to the back of the arm and connected to the stationery device to provide enough tension on the structure to keep the rollers in contact with the cattle hide, thereby pressing out the water allowing it to run off prior the blood plasma saving section. | 11-11-2010 |
