| 20090025721 | Powder inhaler devices - An improved inhalation device is provided for facilitating inhalation by a patient of powder medicaments contained in a receptacle. The inhalation device includes a staple assembly comprising a plunger and staple that are securely and robustly coupled to one another. Embodiments of the inhalation device have a cap that prevents or reduces the amount of dust and grime entering into the device. The cap is additionally configured to prevent or reduce inadvertent and unintentional operation of the device. The body portion and first casing portion of certain embodiments of the inhalation device are sealably coupled, restricting or reducing undesirable flow pathways that have an adverse effect on the operation of the device. | 01-29-2009 |

| 20100221993 | STORAGE CONFIRMATION WITH PREDETERMINABLE STORAGE ATMOSPHERE - The invention relates to a storage configuration having a predeterminable storage atmosphere, comprising a storage chamber for receiving a plurality of storage product carriers for storage product, which can be delivered to a feeding and removal opening for the storage and removal of the storage product using a transport apparatus, and further comprising an air-conditioning apparatus, which associated with the storage chamber and exhausts air from the storage chamber, treats it, and injects it back into the storage chamber via exhaust and injection openings provided on the storage chamber. The exhaust and injection openings are disposed such that the air flows through the storage chamber in the vertical direction. | 09-02-2010 |

| 20100062176 | Boundary layer disruptive preconditioning in atmospheric-plasma process - The boundary layer of a substrate is exposed to a low-energy inert-gas atmospheric plasma that disrupts the layer's bonds, thereby permitting the removal of most oxygen from the surface of the substrate. The substrate is then passed through an exhaust section to remove the disrupted boundary layer prior to conventional plasma treatment. The subsequent plasma treatment is carried out in conventional manner in a substantially oxygen-free environment. As a result of the invention, the high surface-energy levels provided by plasma treatment are more lasting and plasma applications requiring a substantially oxygen-free environment are more efficient. | 03-11-2010 |

| 20100196748 | System and Apparatus for Monitoring Large Battery Stacks Using Wireless Sensor Networks - Monitoring individual cells within large battery stacks used in alternative fuel vehicles is provided using wireless sensor networks. In one embodiment, a battery stack comprised of a plurality of cells includes a plurality of wireless sensor nodes each electrically connected to a corresponding one of the plurality of cells. Each of the wireless sensor nodes includes a sensor circuit for measuring individual performance characteristics for cells to which the wireless sensor nodes are connected. This cell-specific performance data may then be wirelessly transmitted to an external node, which is coupled to a vehicle battery management system configured to determine at least one of a state of charge, state of health and remaining useful life data for the overall battery stack based on the performance characteristics of the battery stack's individual cells. | 08-05-2010 |
| 20100283432 | Vehicle Timing Apparatus - The present invention relates to a timing apparatus and methods of its use in quantifying the time parameter of being away from a vehicle. The timing apparatus having a menu included with a set of numbers corresponding to user selectable time parameters, a control knob adjustable to designate a selected time parameter from the set of numbers, the selected time parameter representing the time until the vehicle will be turned back on, and a sensor connected to the control knob and a microprocessor, the sensor providing a proximate selected position of the control knob in reference to the set of numbers, the selected position representing the selected time parameter. | 11-11-2010 |
