| 20100076719 | EMMISSIVITY TEST INSTRUMENT FOR OVERHEAD ELECTRICAL TRANSMISSION AND DISTRIBUTION - This invention relates to an emissivity test instrument for measuring the emissivity of overhead electric transmission conductors. The emissivity test instrument includes a vacuum chamber, a data acquisition module connected to the vacuum chamber and adapted to receive data therefrom, and a computing device. The vacuum chamber is adapted to seat a test sample therein. The computing device is connected to the data acquisition module and is adapted to perform a test on a test sample and generate a test results report. | 03-25-2010 |

| 20090060672 | Multiple Operation Gear Manufacturing Apparatus With Common Work Axis - A gear production apparatus for producing a gear from a blank includes a blank retainer rotatably supporting and selectively driving the blank about a work axis. An axially moveable first stock supports a first tool for rotation about a first axis extending substantially perpendicular to the work axis. An axially moveable second stock supports a second tool for rotation about the second axis. The second tool is moveable in two additional degrees of freedom such that the second axis is rotatable about a third axis and the second tool is axially translatable along the second axis. The second tool is moveable with the second stock along a line extending substantially perpendicular to and intersecting the work axis. The first stock is moveable to engage the first tool with the blank to form rough teeth. The second stock is moveable to engage the second tool with the blank. | 03-05-2009 |
| 20090241728 | ELECTRIC DUAL INPUT CLUTCH TRANSMISSION - A dual transmission includes a first input shaft, a second input shaft, a first input clutch adapted to drivingly couple a power source to the first input shaft and a second input clutch adapted to drivingly couple the power source to the second input shaft. First, third and fifth drive gears are driven by the first input shaft. Second, fourth and sixth drive gears are driven by the second input shaft. First, second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth driven gears selectively drive a countershaft. The first through sixth drive gears are in meshed engagement with the corresponding first through sixth driven gears. First through sixth synchronizer clutches are individually associated with the respective first through sixth drive or driven gears to provide first through sixth gear drive ratios to the countershaft. Each synchronizer clutch is selectively actuated by an associated first through sixth electric actuator. | 10-01-2009 |
| 20100024582 | POWER TRANSMISSION ASSEMBLY WITH FACE MOUNTED BI-DIRECTIONAL SHIFT CLUTCHES - A power transmission assembly includes an input member adapted to receive drive torque from a source of torque, an output member adapted to provide drive torque to an output device and a bi-directional roller clutch including a first ring fixed for rotation with one of the input and output members. A second ring is spaced apart from the other of the input and output members. Rollers are positioned in aligned cam tracks formed in facing surfaces of the first and second rings. Neither the first ring nor the second ring support the input member or the output member on the other. The second ring may circumferentially index relative to the first ring for causing the rollers to ride up the cam tracks and force the second ring to frictionally engage the other of the input and output members, thereby establishing a drive connection between the input and output members. | 02-04-2010 |
| 20100313706 | COMPACT TRANSFER CASE WITH BEVELOID GEARSET - A power transmission device for a four-wheel drive vehicle having a power source and first and second drivelines includes an input shaft adapted to be driven by the power source. A first output shaft is rotatable about a first axis and adapted to transmit torque to the first driveline. A second output shaft is adapted to transmit torque to the second driveline and is rotatable about a second axis. The first and second axes do not extend parallel to each other. A transfer unit includes a first cylindrically-shaped gear rotatably supported on the first output shaft and a second conically-shaped gear fixed for rotation with the second output shaft. The first and second gears are in constant meshed engagement with each other. | 12-16-2010 |

| 20090202967 | COMPUTER-BASED EVALUATION TOOL FOR ORGANIZING AND DISPLAYING RESULTS OF DATASET ANALYSIS - A study that has a set of questions asked of a number of respondents and a set of corresponding answers. An evaluation tool evaluates every answer to a selected question to identify key terms therein, and develops a corresponding key term cloud based on the identified key terms of the selected question. The cloud is a visual representation of the identified key terms such that each key term appears in the cloud in a relative manner based on an attribute of the key term with regard to the answers. The tool displays the developed cloud for the selected question with the answers for the selected question, and a study evaluator views the relatively appearing key terms in the displayed cloud. Based thereon, the evaluator discerns trends in the answers to the selected question. | 08-13-2009 |
| 20090202973 | COMPUTER-BASED EVALUATION TOOL FOR ORGANIZING AND DISPLAYING RESULTS OF STUDY INTERVIEW - A study that has a set of questions asked of a number of respondents and a set of corresponding answers. An evaluation tool evaluates every answer to a selected question to identify key terms therein, and develops a corresponding key term cloud based on the identified key terms of the selected question. The cloud is a visual representation of the identified key terms such that each key term appears in the cloud in a relative manner based on an attribute of the key term with regard to the answers. The tool displays the developed cloud for the selected question with the answers for the selected question, and a study evaluator views the relatively appearing key terms in the displayed cloud.

| 20090024685 | High Speed and Efficient Matrix Multiplication Hardware Module - A matrix multiplication module and matrix multiplication method are provided that use a variable number of multiplier-accumulator units based on the amount of data elements of the matrices are available or needed for processing at a particular point or stage in the computation process. As more data elements become available or are needed, more multiplier-accumulator units are used to perform the necessary multiplication and addition operations. To multiply an N×M matrix by an M×N matrix, the total (maximum) number of used MAC units is “2*N−1”. The number of MAC units used starts with one (1) and increases by two at each computation stage, that is, at the beginning of reading of data elements for each new row of the first matrix. The sequence of the number of MAC units is {1, 3, 5, . . . , 2*N−1} for computation stages each of which corresponds to reading of data elements for each new row of the left hand matrix, also called the first matrix. For the multiplication of two 8×8 matrices, the performance is 16 floating point operations per clock cycle. For an FPGA running at 100 MHz, the performance is 1.6 Giga floating point operations per second. The performance increases with the increase of the clock frequency and the use of larger matrices when FPGA resources permit. Very large matrices are partitioned into smaller blocks to fit in the FPGA resources. Results from the multiplication of sub-matrices are combined to form the final result of the large matrices. | 01-22-2009 |

| 20110004551 | CONSOLIDATED PAYMENT ACCOUNT SYSTEM AND METHOD - The present invention provides a system and method for providing and/or facilitating complete on-line payment services while protecting the privacy of the transaction participants. The comprehensive payment service is based upon a consolidated account used to store value acquired through on-line transactions. The invention provides private payment numbers for protecting the identities of the participants and includes processes for authenticating participants, authorizing transactions, and settling payments. Thus, the present invention enables merchants to effectively accept non-standard forms of payment without changing their current payment infrastructures and enables the provision of value for purchases at any network merchant using any source of value. | 01-06-2011 |
