| 20090058058 | INFLATORS AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING INFLATORS - A closure assembly for an inflator comprises a housing and an outlet plate disposed within the housing. The outlet plate has an outlet opening configured to receive a burst disk. The outlet plate is joined to the housing by a deformation resistance weld. The deformation resistance weld is formed by contacting the outlet plate with a first electrode, contacting an exterior portion of the housing with a second electrode, and applying a voltage through the first and second electrodes to adhere a portion of the housing to a portion of the outlet plate. | 03-05-2009 |

| 20090307027 | Repair order management - Systems and methods used by automobile service centers to manage repair orders are disclosed. The repair order management system retrieves information pertaining to the processing of the repair orders from one or more service center databases. The retrieved information is processed by the system to generate one-line summaries for each repair order. The one-line repair order summaries are displayed on one or more screens of a secure web-based user interface. The displayed one-line repair order summaries are automatically updated to reflect updates to the repair orders. The one-line repair order summaries allow service personnel at the automobile service center to quickly obtain concise information on each repair order and thereby, expedite processing of repair orders. | 12-10-2009 |

| 20090184710 | Capacitor switches for nmr - NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) capacitor switches allow for adjusting the resonant frequency ranges of NMR measurement circuits by inserting or removing capacitors having different values into the circuits. A change of position of a single switching member is used to change the contact state of at least two capacitors. In some embodiments, at least two pairs of external contacts are disposed at distinct longitudinal levels along a channel, and a slider including multiple longitudinally-spaced capacitors is moved longitudinally within the channel to establish electrical contact between the external contact pairs and different capacitors along the slider. In other embodiments, two capacitor columns are disposed along the channel, and a movable longitudinal member establishes electrical contact between the two columns at different longitudinal levels along the columns. In some embodiments, capacitor covers or intracapacitor blocks are provided to protect the capacitors. An auxiliary inductor may also be inserted into the circuits. | 07-23-2009 |

| 20110209140 | AUTOMATED DEPLOYMENT AND SERVICING OF DISTRIBUTED APPLICATIONS - Deployment and servicing tasks associated with multi-tier, distributed applications, application environments and data centers are automated so that a person does not have to manually perform these tasks. All of the information describing and defining the distributed service is modeled and stored in a re-useable service template that can be used to drive an automated system to programmatically deploy and manage the service over time. Deployment and servicing of a distributed application can be automated using re-useable models that capture hardware and workload definitions. The re-useable models in the form of service templates enable delta-based servicing of the application. The service can be deployed to one or more physical machines, one or more virtual machines or to a combination thereof. A default deployment plan can be customized with instance-specific customizations of service parameters. | 08-25-2011 |

| 20090230956 | SWITCHABLE MANUAL/MOTOR-DRIVEN NMR TUNING SYSTEMS AND METHODS - According to some embodiments, motor-tuned nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) probes may be tuned manually without overcoming the tuning motor holding force. An NMR probe includes a switchable manual-mode/motor-driven mode capacitance-adjustment assembly for adjusting the capacitance of a variable capacitor connected to an NMR RF coil. The capacitance-adjustment assembly includes a tuning shaft coupled to the variable capacitor through a gear assembly, and a mode-switching coupler coupled to the tuning shaft. The mode-switching coupler includes a first terminal coupled to a piezoelectric motor, and a second terminal coupled to the tuning shaft. In the manual mode, a user pushes up the tuning shaft, decoupling the two terminals of the mode-switching coupler and thus decoupling the motor from the tuning shaft. The user then manually rotates the tuning shaft. In the motor-driven mode, a spring tensioner presses the two terminals of the mode-switching coupler together, coupling the motor to the tuning shaft. | 09-17-2009 |

| 20090136355 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR JOINING TURBINE BLADES - A blade assembly including an outboard blade segment is provided. The outboard blade segment includes an outboard blade shell, first and second outboard bulkheads situated within the outboard blade shell, and an outer box supported by and aligned by the outboard bulkheads. The blade assembly also includes an inboard blade segment including an inboard blade shell, first and second inboard bulkheads situated within the inboard blade shell, and an inner box supported by and aligned by the inboard bulkheads. Further, the inner and the outer boxes are tapered to facilitate insertion of the inner box into the outer box and coupling of the inner and outer boxes. | 05-28-2009 |
| 20110083605 | RESIN APPLICATION AND INFUSION SYSTEM - An application and infusion system for applying a resin to one or more fiber tows and for infusing the fiber tows with the resin, wherein each of the fiber tows is moving at a respective fiber speed. The application and infusion system includes a deposition and infusion system comprising one or more nozzles configured to deposit the resin on a respective one of the fiber tows. The system further includes a controller configured to control a flow rate of the resin through each of the nozzles relative to the fiber speed of the respective ones of the fiber tows. Other aspects of the application and infusion system are also provided. | 04-14-2011 |
