| 20100229705 | MULTIPLE ACTUATING-FORCE SHEARING MACHINE - A method, and an apparatus, for operating a hydraulic shearing machine. For cutting a shearing-movement of at least one shear blade which is curved, starting from a starting-position under application of an overall actuating-force and for resetting of the shear blades which were moved for cutting to their starting-position after accomplishment of the shearing-movement, a reset-movement under application of an overall reset-force. The shearing-movement and the reset-movement are accomplished by a hydraulic actuating-mechanism comprising hydraulic cylinders, wherein the overall actuating-force and the overall reset-force being applied to the moved shear blades by at least one hydraulic cylinder of the actuating-mechanism. The magnitude of the overall actuating-force is adjustable by switching one or several hydraulic cylinders of the actuating-mechanism in and out of operation-mode. The method proposes that the positions of the curved shear blade are controlled by a control system by regulating the flow of hydraulic fluid to the hydraulic cylinders according to setpoints for a shear blade position versus time function and the overall actuating-force and overall reset-force requirements. | 09-16-2010 |

| 20100208260 | DIRECT DETECTION OF MARKERS IN PRESSURIZED HYDROCARBON FLUIDS - This invention generally relates to a method and apparatus for direct detection of one or more markers in pressurized hydrocarbon fluids. The apparatus includes a vessel ( | 08-19-2010 |
| 20100214373 | AUTHENTICATING A PRODUCT - This invention generally relates to a composition, an apparatus, and a method for authenticating a product. In particular, the invention relates to an ink composition for marking a product with a continuous inkjet printer. The composition includes a visible ink and a UV, visible, and/or IR marker. Marking includes depositing the ink composition on the product with the continuous inkjet printer. A marked product is authenticated with a hand-held apparatus that activates the marker in the mark with UV radiation. Activation of the marker in the mark changes the absorbance/reflectance of visible radiation by the mark without changing the visual appearance of the mark. Authenticity of the product is assessed by a change in absorbance or reflectance of visible radiation by the mark after activation of the mark. | 08-26-2010 |

| 20090023223 | PLUG FLOW SYSTEM FOR IDENTIFICATION AND AUTHENTICATION OF MARKERS - Devices and methods for extraction, identification, authentication, and quantification of one or more covert markers in a material are disclosed. An extraction system includes a first plug flow mixer for mixing a first fluid bearing a marker and transfer agent into a plug flow. The mixing and flowing of the immiscible liquids causes transfer of the marker from the fluid to the transfer agent. A splitter having filters of different surface energies separates the two immiscible liquids, the transfer agent bearing the marker. A second plug flow can be used to transfer the marker to a second transfer agent. The transferred marker is detected to authenticate the original fluid. The marker can be further isolated, activated, or reacted to perform detection, identification or authentication. With the device, a number of independent processing and analytic steps are combined onto a single, portable unit. | 01-22-2009 |

| 20090106210 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR DATABASE ORGANIZATION - A relational database having a plurality of records is organized by using a processing arrangement to perform a clustering operation on the records so as to create a number of clusters. At least one of the clusters is characterized by a selected metadata parameter. The clustering operation is performed to optimize a calculated value of a selected precision factor for the selected metadata parameter. The selected metadata parameter is selected to optimize execution of a database query and the value of the selected precision factor is related to efficiency of execution of the database query. | 04-23-2009 |
