| 20110222048 | DOPPLER ASYMMETRIC SPATIAL HETERODYNE SPECTROSCOPY LIGHT DETECTION AND RANGING RECEIVER - Obtaining global tropospheric vertical wind profiles by directly detecting atmospheric winds using space borne, airborne and/or ground station platforms is accomplished by a DASH interferometer in the back-end of a Doppler wind LIDAR. In the front-end of the Doppler wind LIDAR, a laser illuminates an atmosphere and a telescope collects backscattered laser light return signals from the laser illuminated atmosphere. The DASH interferometer processes return signals from the atmosphere, forming an interferogram and determines from the interferogram a Doppler shift of the return signals, which is equivalent to determining the line of sight wind speed of the Doppler wind LIDAR observation, by measuring the frequency shift caused by winds. From this determination, global and/or non-global atmospheric wind profile data are transmitted over a communications network in either real-time and/or non-real-time, to facilitate weather forecasting, weather modeling, weather avoidance navigation, atmospheric research, hurricane warnings, operations systems selections and deployment of operational assets. | 09-15-2011 |

| 20090198425 | TRAILER SWAY CONTROL WITH REVERSE SENSORS - Reverse proximity sensors are used to determine an angle between a towed trailer and the towing vehicle. The trailer sway control determines a trailer angle of sway based upon proximity sensor readings from the reverse proximity sensors and from a sensor reading of an angle of turn of a steering wheel of the towing vehicle. Provided the determined trailer angle of sway exceeds a range that can be tolerated, a controller sends instructions to apply necessary braking to the vehicle or trailer to mitigate the trailer sway. | 08-06-2009 |

| 20110232854 | METHOD OF MAKING A COATING AND A COATED ACOUSTICAL PANEL USING DEGRADED FIBERS - An acoustical panel is made by applying a thin, acoustically-transparent coating to an acoustical base mat. A pulp is made from one or more fillers, a fibrous filler, a binder and water. A thickener solution is prepared from a thickener and water. A portion of the pulp and the thickener solution are mixed under high shear conditions to degrade the fibrous filler and form a smooth coating. The coating is applied to and distributed over a base mat and the coated base mat is then cut and dried to form a coated acoustical panel. The panel is free of visible mineral nodules on the surface of the coating. Optionally, the pulp is a portion of a pulp used to make the base mat. Other embodiments include the use of recycled dust or fine particles of the acoustical panel obtained from cutting or shaping the base mat or coated panels. | 09-29-2011 |
