20110247009DISTRIBUTING EVENTS BETWEEN AN INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENT PROCESS AND ANOTHER PROCESS - A method for inter-process communications between an integrated development environment (IDE) process and a separate process. The IDE process and separate process are communicably coupled using an inter-process communication module that provides inter-process call channels for transporting messages between the IDE process and separate process, and adds a transport layer comprising routing information to the messages. A caller performs an action that raises an event that includes a requested operation to the IDE process, where the requested operation is only supported by the separate process. The IDE process sends a command message to the separate process using a first call channel that includes information for performing the requested operation. The requested operation is performed by the separate process. A return message is then sent by the separate process using a second call channel to the IDE process.10-06-2011

20110001007METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CONTROLLING SWAYING OF AN OBJECT - A method of configuring a mount or of controlling sway in an object to be mounted includes configuring isolators of the mount to put a center of elasticity of the flexible mount at a desired height relative to a base of the mount. This desired distance may be at a location of expected minimum clearance between the object to be mounted and the structure expected to surround the object to be mounted and is the center of rotation of the flexible mount. The location of the center of elasticity also may be farther from the base than a center of mass or gravity of the object to be mounted. An equation relating the location of the center of elasticity as a function of isolator material properties and of angle between the isolators and the base may be used to analytically predict the location of the center of elasticity and the center of rotation.01-06-2011

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110243667Method and Apparatus For Building Support Piers From One or Successive Lifts Formed In A Soil Matrix - A method and apparatus for forming a support aggregate pier having compacted aggregate lifts in a soil matrix, includes an elongate, hollow tube with a bulbous leading end bottom head element that is forced or lowered into the soil matrix. The hollow tube includes a mechanism for releasing aggregate from the lower head element of the tube as the tube is lifted in predetermined increments. The same hollow tube is then lowered or pushed in predetermined increments to vertically compact the released aggregate in thin aggregate lifts, while forcing a portion of the compacted aggregate transaxially into the soil matrix at the sidewalls of the cavity. The process may be repeated to form a series of compacted aggregate lifts comprising an aggregate pier or the process may include forming only a single lift for the aggregate pier while densifying adjacent matrix soils and imparting lateral stress in these soils. 10-06-2011
