| 20110093360 | Automated Gifting - Systems and methods provide a facility for automated gifting. The facility receives from a gifter an identification of a gift recipient, an indication of an occasion, and selection criteria. The facility automatically selects a proposed gift for the indicated occasion based on at least the received selection criteria and, in the absence of further direction from the gifter, sends the gift to the recipient. | 04-21-2011 |

| 20100030407 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR AUTOMATICALLY CONTROLLING TAKE-OFF THRUST IN AN AIRCRAFT - A system and method for enabling a flight management computer (FMC) on a jet aircraft to automatically select the proper take-off thrust to use for a specific aircraft operating at a specific airport, and using a specific runway. A Model/Engine Database (MEDB) is created that assigns a specific aircraft configuration code to the aircraft, based on the model, engine and other factors specific to the aircraft. The aircraft configuration code is used by the FMC to query an Airport/Runway lookup table database that is loaded into the FMC. The Airport/Runway lookup table database provides a take-off thrust code indicating the take-off thrust to be used for the aircraft, based on the airport it is about to depart from, and the specific runway that it is assigned to use. The FMC uses the take-off thrust code to automatically select a specific take-off thrust to be used during the take-off phase of flight. | 02-04-2010 |
| 20110093141 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR AUTOMATICALLY CONTROLLING TAKE-OFF THRUST IN AN AIRCRAFT - A method for automatically selecting a take-off thrust setting for an engine of a jet powered mobile platform that has a flight management computer (FMC) that makes use of a configuration code. The configuration code is provided from a first set of information relating to operational parameters of the mobile platform. A database in communication with the FMC stores information pertaining to different locations from which a take-off operation can be performed. The FMC accesses the configuration code and the database to determine a take-off thrust setting to apply during the take-off operation at a specified one of the locations. The FMC also determines if an operator has overridden an automatic selection of the take-off thrust. | 04-21-2011 |

| 20080253944 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR INTRODUCING FUEL OIL INTO A STEAM REFORMER WITH REDUCED CARBON DEPOSITION - A system and method for creating reformate with decreased carbon deposition. The system is made up of a steam source, a superheater, a fuel injection device, a prereformer, and a reformer with catalyst linings. The system functions to superheat steam while maintaining the fuel at a lower temperature prior to injection and mixing with the steam. After injection and mixing, the steam and fuel mixture is then passed through a prereformer where catalysts treat a portion of the fuel and steam mixture. After these portions are treated with a catalyst, the mixture is passed through to a reformer where further treatment of the material by catalyst takes place. | 10-16-2008 |

| 20100021578 | Apparatus For Forming And Heat Treating Structural Assemblies - There are provided an apparatus and an associated method for manufacturing superplastically formed structural assemblies from preforms. The apparatus includes first and second co-operable dies structured to define a die cavity therebetween for at least partially receiving the preform, at least one heater in thermal communication with the die cavity for heating the preform to a forming temperature, and at least one injector in fluid communication with the die cavity. The injector is structured for injecting pressurized gas into the die cavity to urge the preform against one of the dies to form the preform into the structural assembly. Further, at least one of the injectors is structured for injecting a quenchant into the die cavity to thereby heat treat the structural assembly while distortion of the structural assembly is being at least partially restrained by at least one of the dies. | 01-28-2010 |

| 20100299653 | SERVICEABILITY AND CONFIGURATION MANAGEMENT - Many current computer software platforms support user customization and version upgradability. Unfortunately, upgrading a computer software platform may result in significant loss of user customization data. Additionally, it may be advantageous for users to export and import their customization data to share as customized business solutions with other instances of the computer software platforms. Accordingly, a technique for creating and importing a configuration package and a technique for creating and utilizing an update package is disclosed herein. The configuration package allows configuration data of elements within a computer software platform to be exported and imported. The update package allows elements to be exported within the update package. The update package may be utilized in upgrading, overwriting, and/or creating a new instance of elements. When an existing element is upgraded with an update element within the update package, the existing element's original configuration may be retained. | 11-25-2010 |

| 20090054939 | Automated External Defibrillator (AED) With Context-Sensitive Help - A defibrillator system is disclosed including an operational state input, a user-operated information request input, and a user guidance output. The defibrillator system can be implemented as an AED, a manual defibrillator, or as a defibrillator trainer. The defibrillator system further utilizes the state and request inputs to determine a context-sensitive rescue information which is provided to the output. | 02-26-2009 |
| 20110257695 | PINCH CASE FOR DEFIBRILLATOR ELECTRODE PADS AND RELEASE LINER - A defibrillator electrode assembly with a slot-like storage case is described which protects the pads prior to use and retains them in either an electrically connected or electrically disconnected configuration. When the electrode assembly is slidably inserted into the case, an optional pinch clip within the case presses electrodes on opposite sides of a thick release liner into electrical contact with each other. | 10-20-2011 |

| 20110063769 | EQUIVALENT ALPHA PLANE FAULT DETERMINATION FOR A MULTI-TERMINAL POWER APPARATUS - Current differential protection is provided for a multi-terminal power apparatus, such as a power transmission line. Currents measured at each of the multiple terminals are used to calculate a differential current and a restraining current, which are then converted into a first equivalent current and a second equivalent current of an equivalent two-terminal power apparatus. In the equivalent two-terminal power apparatus, a differential current derived from the first and second equivalent currents is substantially equal to the differential current of the original multi-terminal power apparatus. Similarly, a restraining current derived from the first and second equivalent currents is substantially equal to the restraining current of the original multi-terminal power apparatus. The first and second equivalent currents may be used in an alpha plane analysis to determine whether or not to trip the multi-terminal power apparatus. | 03-17-2011 |

| 20110021186 | RECTIFIER CIRCUIT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, SUCH AS FOR USE IN CELL SITE POWER SYSTEMS - Systems, apparatus, methods, and manufactures for conserving power in a communications system such as a communications service cell site or cell site. The methods include adjusting the RF coverage of the cell site antenna, selective control of the RF output transmit power, selective control of the communications bit rate, transfer of communications to other cell sites, adjustment of indicators such that mobile devices transfer communications to other cell sites, and reallocation of logical slots between radios in the cell site. In some examples, the cell site employs a power controller. The power controller may utilize a switching circuit to produce two different voltages from a single battery string during a commercial power failure with improved conversion efficiencies. In another example, a power controller may manage multiple rectifiers so that the rectifiers operate more efficiently, such as with approximately equal runtime and with regular testing. | 01-27-2011 |
