| 20090183436 | TRIM PANEL RETENTION SYSTEM - A trim panel retention system for a vehicle interior includes serviceable trim clips holding trim panel to a base panel in an operating condition. A secondary retaining member extends from the trim panel and passes through a secondary retention opening in the base panel, overlapping the base panel adjacent to the secondary retention opening and spaced from the base panel. If the trim clips become disengaged due a collision and the trim panel separates from the base panel, the secondary retaining member engages the base panel to limit movement of the trim panel. | 07-23-2009 |

| 20100308276 | MULTIPLE FUNCTION, SELF-REPAIRING COMPOSITES WITH SPECIAL ADHESIVES - A system for self-repairing matrices such as concrete or cementitous matrices, polymeric matrices, and/or fibrous matrices, including laminates thereof. The system includes repair agents retained in and/or on vessels, such as hollow fibers, within the matrix. Upon impact, the vessel rupture, releasing the chemicals. For multi-layer laminates, the systems provides a total dynamic energetic circulation system that functions as an in situ fluidic system in at least one layer or area. The energy from the impact ruptures the vessels to release the chemical(s), and mixes the chemical(s) and pushes the chemical(s) and/or resulting compound through the matrix. The repair agents can withstand high temperatures, such as the heat of processing of many laminates, e.g., 250-350° F. | 12-09-2010 |

| 20090275076 | CELL SAMPLE PREPARATION METHOD AND APPARATUS - An apparatus and method for automatic thin-layer cell sample slide preparation without requiring human intervention are disclosed. According to one embodiment, a cell sample is measured to derive a cell sample measurement. An estimation of total cellularity of the cell sample is determined based upon the cell sample measurement. A differential volume of diluent is dispensed to the cell sample based upon the estimation of total cellularity of the cell sample to form a cell suspension. In one embodiment, a differential volume of the cell suspension and a differential volume of cell adherent may be combined based upon the estimation of total cellularity of the cell sample to form a cell mixture. A differential volume of the cell suspension or cell mixture (if an adherent is mixed with the cell suspension) is dispensed onto a surface of a sample slide. | 11-05-2009 |
