| 20120058523 | TEMPERING OF CELLULOSIC BIOMASS - The present invention is directed to improved systems and methods for reducing costs and increasing yields of cellulosic ethanol. In particular, the present invention provides plants genetically transformed for increased biomass, expression of lignocellulolytic enzyme polypeptides, and/or simplification of harvesting and downstream processing. Also provided are methods for processing biomass from these transgenic plants that involve less severe and/or less expensive pre-treatment protocols that are typically employed. Such methods allow, among other things, reduced costs associated with externally applied lignocellulolytic enzyme polypeptides. | 03-08-2012 |

| 20120056421 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SECURING A NUT TO AN OIL PAN - An oil pan nut configured to be secured to an oil pan includes a hub having an upper surface configured to support a mating surface of the oil pan, and a column integrally connected to the hub. A passage is formed through the hub and the column. The column is configured to be crimped over the upper surface of the hub in order to compressively sandwich at least a portion of the mating surface of the oil pan between the crimped column and the upper surface of the hub. | 03-08-2012 |

| 20120096630 | Impact Shock Absorbing Material - The invention is shock absorbing material to be incorporated into protective gear or clothing. The impact shock absorbing material is a laminated material, having a shear-thickening layer and a shock absorbing layer. The shock absorbing layer is a honeycomb material with cell walls. The shear-thickening layer shunts the local impact forces over a greater area of the underlying shock absorbing layer, thereby reducing the force at the point of impact. The vertical walls of the honeycomb layer buckle under the incoming force, thereby diffusing the direction of force away from direct alignment with the body wearing the impact-shock-absorbing material. Protective gear made of the impact shock absorbing material significantly reduces forces imparted to the body as a result of a fall, blow, or other sudden impact. | 04-26-2012 |

| 20110312455 | RADIAL DAMPING MECHANISM AND USE FOR BELT TENSIONING - A tensioner for an endless power transmitting element in a drive system is disclosed that includes an arm rotatable about an axis and having a sleeve that includes a ramp face or contoured face, a damper cup having a protrusion and a plate, a spring case that houses the sleeve of the arm and the damper cup with the damper cup's plate mated with the ramp face or contoured face of the sleeve. During wind-up of the tensioner, a normal force is applied to the damper cup's protrusion that moves the plate along the ramp face or contoured face in a first direction, and in the first direction the ramp face or contoured face pushes the damper cup generally radially outward into the spring case to provide frictional damping. | 12-22-2011 |
| 20120058847 | TENSIONER WITH EXPANDING SPRING FOR RADIAL FRICTIONAL ASYMMETRIC DAMPING - A tensioner is disclosed that may be part of a power system where the tensioner provides tension to an endless power transmitting element such as a belt, chain, or other continuous loop. The tensioner has an arm that is rotatable about a first axis and includes an arm arbor having a slot therethrough, a bushing having a protrusion and being positioned adjacent the arm arbor with the protrusion received in the arm arbor's slot, and a spring coupled to the arm urging the arm to rotate about the first axis into tensioning engagement with a power transmitting element. The spring is positioned where it can radially expand into contact with the protrusion of the bushing as the arm is rotated in a direction opposite the direction of tensioning engagement such that the bushing is urged radially outward relative to the arm arbor to provide frictional damping. | 03-08-2012 |

| 20120114850 | PRECISION GROUND CONCRETE MASONRY BLOCKS AND SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR THE HIGH-SPEED APPLICATION OF MORTAR/GROUT TO PRECISION GROUND CONCRETE MASONRY BLOCKS AND SELF-LEVELING INSTALLATION OF CONCRETE MASONRY SYSTEMS - A concrete block includes a top surface including one or more regions having a higher surface height that is then precision ground to the desired height. The one or more regions having a greater height may include a tapered front face of between 30 to 60°. A recess or pocket may also be provided in the top surface of the block in front of the precision ground higher height adjustment pads. One or more high-speed mortar/adhesive applicators includes a mortar/adhesive holding device, for storing a quantity of mortar/adhesive as well as a powered mortar/adhesive applicator, for moving the mortar/adhesive stored in the holding device to one or more applicator devices. The one or more mortar/adhesive applicator devices include an extruder nozzle surrounded by a generally “U” shaped pivoting channel element, for establishing at least the width of a bead of mortar/adhesive being applied to a surface of an object. | 05-10-2012 |
