| 20090002163 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR IMPROVING RFID TAG READING PERFORMANCE - A system and a method for improving the reading range of RFID tags and detecting objects without placing RFID tags on them, through placement of the tags in optimal positions with respect to other elements responsive to electromagnetic waves that are naturally present in the environment of use of the RFID tags. RFID tags are placed in optimal positions with respect to metal surfaces on an object to be detected to enhance their readability based on reflective contributions of the RFID signal from the metal surfaces. Detection of objects possessing metal surfaces without RFID tags placed on them are achieved by placing an RFID tag behind a reader in a reader assembly and relying on the RF energy reflected from the metal surface of the object. | 01-01-2009 |

| 20110265730 | Apparatus for the cultivation of molluscan shellfish and other marine species - The invention is an apparatus for the cultivation of marine species, particularly molluscan shellfish such as oysters. The shellfish are cultivated within a rotating cylinder featuring water-permeable walls, and positioned at the water surface by buoyant chambers such that a portion of the cylinder is immersed while the remainder is exposed to the atmosphere. The rotational position of the cylinder is advanced by way of a passive mechanical interaction driven by changes in local water elevations (e.g. tide cycles), thereby creating a repetitive and systematic exposure of the entirety of the cylinder wall to atmospheric desiccation. Furthermore, the rotation of the cylinder promotes a gentle tumbling of the shellfish within, thereby improving product shape and uniformity of growth, as well as enhancing the clearing of accumulating sediments and/or metabolic wastes. | 11-03-2011 |

| 20080211304 | Intermediate bus architecture with a quasi-regulated bus converter - A dc-dc converter system comprises a quasi-regulated bus converter and plural regulation stages that regulate the output of the bus converter. The bus converter has at least one controlled rectifier with a parallel uncontrolled rectifier. A control circuit controls the controlled rectifier to cause a normally non-regulated mode of operation through a portion of an operating range of source voltage and a regulated output during another portion. The bus converter may be an isolation stage having primary and secondary transformer winding circuits. For the non-regulated output, each primary winding has a voltage waveform with a fixed duty cycle. The fixed duty cycle causes substantially uninterrupted flow of power during non-regulated operation. Inductors at the bus converter input and in a filter at the output of the bus converter may saturate during non-regulated operation. | 09-04-2008 |
| 20110176333 | Power Converter with Isolated and Regulation Stages - In a power converter, the duty cycle of a primary winding circuit causes near continuous flow of power through the primary and secondary winding circuits during normal operation. By providing no regulation during normal operation, a very efficient circuit is obtained with a synchronous rectifier in the secondary operating at all times. However, during certain conditions such as start up or a short-circuit, the duty cycle of the primary may be reduced to cause freewheeling periods. A normally non-regulating isolation stage may be followed by plural non-isolating regulation stages. To simplify the gate drive, the synchronous rectifiers may be allowed to turn off for a portion of the cycle when the duty cycle is reduced. A filter inductance of the secondary winding circuit is sufficient to minimize ripple during normal operation, but allows large ripple when the duty cycle is reduced. By accepting large ripple during other than normal operation, a smaller filter inductance can be used. | 07-21-2011 |

| 20100031144 | APPARATUS, SYSTEM, AND METHOD FOR CONTEXTUAL VISUAL SEARCH - Disclosed are an apparatus, system, and method for visual contextual searching in a computer application that has a graphical user interface (GUI). The apparatus includes a selection module that defines a selection area of the GUI that is displayed on the computer display. The user provides the necessary input defining the selection area using an input device such as a mouse to define the boundary of the selection area. A topic module determines a set of topics related to the GUI elements that are displayed within the selection area defined by the user. The topic module may make the association using a visual map. A display module then displays these results for the user in a results section that is shown on the display. The apparatus may apply filter rules to restrict the number and types of topics that the display module lists. Users may also associate topics with a particular GUI element or disassociate topics with a particular GUI element. | 02-04-2010 |
