20080241375 | METHOD FOR PREPARING SURFACE-MODIFIED SEMICONDUCTIVE AND METALLIC NANOPARTICLES HAVING ENHANCED DISPERSIBILITY IN AQUEOUS MEDIA - Water-dispersible nanoparticles are prepared by applying a coating of a multiply amphipathic dispersant to the surface of a hydrophobic nanoparticle comprised of a semiconductive or metallic material. The multiply amphipathic dispersant has two or more hydrophobic regions and two or more hydrophilic regions, and is typically polymeric. Preferred polymeric dispersants are comprised of (1) a hydrophobic backbone with hydrophilic branches, (2) a hydrophilic backbone with hydrophobic branches, or (3) a backbone that may be either hydrophobic or hydrophilic, and substituted with both hydrophilic and hydrophobic branches. Monodisperse populations of water-dispersible nanoparticles are also provided, as are conjugates of the water-dispersible nanoparticles with affinity molecules such as peptides, oligonucleotides, and the like. | 10-02-2008 |

20110065561 | Leaflet Production - A leaflet is produced from a pre-printed sheet of material by folding the sheet with at least one crease-line along the line of advancement of the sheet but preferably with two or more such crease-lines so that the sheet is fan-folded. The crease-lines are squeezed by a roller nip and then the sheet is fed into a diametral slot in a mandrel of elliptical cross-section. The leading edge of the sheet is gripped within the slot and then the mandrel is rotated to wind the sheet around the outer surface thereof. The wound sheet is then removed from the mandrel and is squeezed through a roller nip so as to form a substantially flat folded leaflet. The leaflet may be converted to a booklet by joining together the overlying sheets along one folded edge of the compressed leaflet and slitting open the other folded edge of the compressed leaflet. | 03-17-2011 |

20130276366 | DENSIFIED ORGANIC MATERIAL FOR LANDSCAPING, METHOD OF MANUFACTURE AND METHOD OF APPLICATION - A formed densified organic material for use as landscape mulch and method of manufacture and application are disclosed. The formed densified organic material is made by drying a loose mixture of mulch material and compressing the loose mixture of mulch material into a formed densified organic material. The method of apply includes: placing formed densified organic mulch on the ground at spaced locations; adding moisture to the densified organic mulch, allowing the densified organic mulch to absorb the moisture, causing the densified organic mulch to expand and reconstitute back into its original state of loose mulch; and spreading the loose mulch as required. The formed densified organic material has a moisture content of less than approximately 20 percent, a density greater than approximately 40 pounds per cubic foot, and a weigh less than approximately 5 pounds. | 10-24-2013 |

20130140785 | Vehicle Axle - A traverse strut for use in a twist beam axle assembly is provided. The traverse strut extends along a length and presents a central section; a pair of end sections; and a pair of intermediate sections between the central section and the respective end sections. At least a portion of the central section has a first wall thickness, at least a portion of each end section has a second wall thickness that is greater than the first wall thickness and at least a portion of each intermediate section has a third wall thickness that is greater than the second wall thickness. Additionally, at least two of the central, intermediate and end sections is work hardened. The transverse strut has improved performance and lower weight as compared to other known transverse struts. | 06-06-2013 |

20100280783 | CALIBRATION OF THE ACCELEROMETER SENSOR OF A REMOTE CONTROLLER - A method and a video game system are disclosed for maintaining the readings of the accelerometer sensor of the remote controller used in conjunction with the video game system consistent over different controllers and different styles of play. The video game system looks at a predetermined time period, when the largest difference in the acceleration vectors for each frame is within a small limit, indicating that the player is holding the controller relatively idle. Then, the video game system averages the acceleration vectors over this time period, and the inverse of the magnitude of this average is used as a normalization constant. | 11-04-2010 |

20090260623 | Aeorosolization apparatus with air inlet shield - An aerosolization apparatus comprises a housing defining a chamber having a plurality of air inlets. The chamber contains an aersolizable pharmaceutical formulation or is sized to receive a receptacle which contains an aerosolizable pharmaceutical formulation. A shield covers at least one of the air inlets or a portion of at least one of the air inlets. The shield prevents blockage of the air inlet by a user grasping the apparatus and inadvertently covering the air inlet. An end section is associated with the housing. The end section is sized and shaped to be received in a user's mouth or nose so that the user may inhale through the end section to inhale aerosolized pharmaceutical formulation that has exited the receptacle. | 10-22-2009 |
