Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20120180898SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR FILLING A PLURALITY OF ISOLATED VEHICLE FLUID CIRCUITS THROUGH A COMMON FLUID FILL PORT - A vehicle having multiple isolated fluid circuits configured to be filled through a common fill port includes a first fluid circuit disposed within the vehicle, the first fluid circuit having a first fill port, a second fluid circuit disposed within the vehicle, and a conduit defining a fluid passageway between the first fluid circuit and second fluid circuit, the conduit including a valve. The valve is configured such that the first and second fluid circuits are fluidly coupled via the passageway when the valve is open, and are fluidly isolated when the valve is closed.07-19-2012

20120056420CONNECTOR ASSEMBLY - A connector assembly that provides fluid communication between a first conduit and a second conduit. The connector assembly includes a first coupler, a retainer, and a second coupler. The retainer is carried by the first coupler. The second coupler has a groove. When the first and second couplers are brought together, they fluidly communicate with each other and the retainer is received with the groove so that the first and second couplers are prevented from unintentionally coming apart.03-08-2012
20120104746QUICK CONNECTOR ASSEMBLY - A quick connector assembly that provides fluid communication between a first conduit and a second conduit. The quick connector assembly includes a housing and a retainer. The housing has a first end that connects with the first conduit, has a second end that connects with the second conduit, and has a fluid passage that extends between the first and second ends. The retainer is carried by the housing and has a portion located in the fluid passage of the housing.05-03-2012

20090155451ANTIMICROBIAL COATING SYSTEM - An antimicrobial coating system, a film-forming composition, and an antimicrobial film. In some embodiments, the antimicrobial coating system can include a film-forming composition comprising a polymer having an effective molecular weight, and an effective amount of an antimicrobial agent dispersed within the polymer. The film-forming composition can form a water-insoluble, biocidal antimicrobial film when applied to a surface.06-18-2009
20100196796ROLL-GOOD FUEL CELL FABRICATION PROCESSES, EQUIPMENT, AND ARTICLES PRODUCED FROM SAME - Fabricating roll-good fuel cell material involves laminating first and second bonding material webs having spaced apart windows to first and second surfaces of a fuel cell membrane web. First and second active regions of the membrane web are positioned within the respective bonding material windows. Third and fourth gasket material webs having spaced apart windows are respectively laminated to the bonding material on the first and second membrane web surfaces. The bonding material windows align with the respective gasket material windows so that at least some of the bonding material extends within the respective gasket material windows. Fluid transport layer (FTL) material portions cut from fifth and sixth FTL material webs are laminated to the respective first and second active regions. The FTL material portions are positioned within respective gasket material windows and contact the bonding material extending within the respective gasket material windows.08-05-2010

20120209579Statistical Modeling and Analysis of Fuel-Related Factors in Transportation Industries - Techniques involving modeling and analysis of operational metrics in transportation industries are disclosed. Representative methods involve defining a set of fuel consumption performance factors having a potential to impact vehicle fuel economy. Fuel consumption performance factors are received, and categorical variables are identified from at least a subset of the fuel consumption performance factors to create one or more categorical groupings. The fuel consumption performance factors associated with at least one of the categorical groupings are processed to identify a hypothetical maximum fuel economy or “baseline” for the at least one of the categorical groupings, and to identify fuel economy deduction coefficients based on the fuel consumption performance factors that adversely impact the hypothetical maximum fuel economy. Models are created based on the hypothetical maximum fuel economy and the fuel economy deduction coefficients to predict fuel economy for vehicles in the at least one of the categorical groupings.08-16-2012
