| 20090142201 | Hydraulic flow control system and method - Apparatus and methods are provided for controlling a double-acting hydraulic cylinder during a load-induced rod-extending operation, where the cylinder is activated by fluid supplied from a reservoir by a pump, and the cylinder has a rod end, a head end, a piston connected to a rod for engaging the load, the cylinder piston being urged toward the rod end by the load during the operation. The apparatus includes a cylinder activating circuit including an activation valve for providing a flow path from the pump to the cylinder head end; a flow regeneration circuit fluidly connecting the cylinder rod end and the cylinder head end and configured for providing flow from the cylinder rod end to the cylinder head end during rod extension, the regeneration circuit including a regeneration flow valve; and a controller operatively connected to the regeneration flow valve and the activation valve, the controller being responsive to rod-extending rate demands from an operator to control the activation valve to provide flow from the pump to the head end and to control the regeneration valve to provide flow from the rod end to the head end. The cylinder activating circuit also includes a return flow path and a return valve positioned in the return flow path and configured to control flow from the cylinder rod end to the fluid reservoir. Both the activation valve and the return valve are controllable by the controller independently from the regeneration flow valve. | 06-04-2009 |

| 20110215961 | Optimized Multistatic Surveillance System - A multistatic radar surveillance system includes transmitter elements and receiver elements arranged according to a zone to be monitored, and a command and control unit that configures the elements and collects information relating to objects detected by the receiver elements. Each transmitter element transmits a signal, the bandwidth of which is substantially equal to the totality of a frequency band B allocated to the system. Each transmitter element transmits a common waveform to all of the transmitter elements, and the waveform is modulated by a binary signal specific to the element in question, this signal allowing each of the receiver elements receiving a signal to identify the transmitter element at the source of this signal. The coding applied to the waveform is defined so that the spread spectrum caused to the signal transmitted by the latter does not exceed the frequency band B allocated to the system. | 09-08-2011 |

| 20100198790 | UPDATING ELEMENTS IN A DATA STORAGE FACILITY USING A PREDEFINED STATE MACHINE, WITH SERIAL ACTIVATION - A technique for updating elements in a data storage facility, including a single server or a multi-server system, such as by providing updated internal code packages to the elements. The update is performed using a fixed state machine, where the elements are updated in a coordinated manner within the constraints of the state machine. In a multi-server device, code packages are distributed to elements associated with the different servers in one traversal of the state machine, during distribute states of the state machine. The distributed code packages are activated in activate states of the state machine in multiple traversals of the state machine, so there is a serial activation. The code packages can be grouped in a flexible way by configuring an external update bundle used by the state machine. The distributing of the code is based on the grouping. | 08-05-2010 |

| 20120034017 | ANTIPERSPIRANT COMPOSITIONS AND PRODUCTS - The perceived visual appearance of skin such as axilla skin, as indicated by tone, radiance and/or smoothness, is improved significantly by topical application of an antiperspirant composition that is a roll-on emulsion that comprises a dihydric or trihydric humectant and/or a glyceride oil. and a mica pigment, The visual appearance can be further enhanced by incorporating into the composition a particulate microfine aluminium oxide and/or a silicone elastomer. The mica-containing compositions are advantageously applied from a roll-ball dispenser in which the depth of film of fluid on the rolling ball is controlled, such as by a spider spaced inward of the ball and/or the flow of fluid within the ball housing is perturbed such as by a castellated sealing ring and/or a shallow bead outward of the sealing ring within the ball housing. | 02-09-2012 |

| 20110222777 | Systems And Methods For Automatically Determining 3-Dimensional Object Information And For Controlling A Process Based On Automatically-Determined 3-Dimensional Object Information - An image containing one or more types of objects to be located is analyzed to locate linear features within the image. The objects have edges having known spatial relationships. The linear features and identified virtual lines are analyzed to find groups of linear features and/or virtual lines that have one of the known spatial relationships. These relationships can include parallel edges, edges that meet at certain angles or angle ranges, the number of lines meeting a vertex and the like. The identified group is compared with projected 2-dimensional representation(s) of the object(s) to determine whether any additional lines appear in the image that are part of the located object. In various exemplary embodiments, two or more hypotheses for how the identified group of linear features maps to the 3-dimensional representation of the object can be generated. The best fitting hypothesis becomes the recognized 3-dimensional shape and orientation for that object. | 09-15-2011 |
