| 20110150680 | Disposable Pumping System and Coupler - A coupling system for receiving a push rod includes a housing defining an internal channel having a sloped wall, and a piston received within the internal channel. The piston includes at least one flexible member arranged within the channel to be acted upon by the sloped wall to engage the push rod. The only external force required to couple the push rod is an axial force on the piston in a direction. The only external force required to de-couple the push rod is an axial force on the piston in an opposite direction. | 06-23-2011 |

| 20100244566 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONFIGURING A POWER DEVICE - A system and method for directing a user to configure a power device via an alphanumeric user interface is provided. The power device may include data storage storing a plurality of operational parameters. The method includes acts of prompting, during an initial power-up of the power device, a user to enter an indication of quality of power supplied to the power device, receiving the indication via the user interface, determining a first value for each of the plurality of operational parameters of the power device based at least in part on the indication and applying each first value of the plurality of operational parameters to the power device. | 09-30-2010 |
| 20100246101 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ALTERING A USER INTERFACE OF A POWER DEVICE - A system and method for altering a user interface of a power device is provided. The user interface includes an interface structure. The method includes acts of receiving user preference information, determining additional configuration information of the power device, adapting the interface structure based at least in part on the user preference information and the additional configuration information and providing at least a portion of the adapted interface structure to a user via the user interface. | 09-30-2010 |
| 20100250192 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ESTIMATING AN EFFICIENCY OF A POWER DEVICE - A method for estimating an efficiency of a power device includes identifying a state of operation of the power device, measuring power-related information produced by the power device, and determining an estimated efficiency of the power device based in part on the state of operation of the power device and power loss parameters associated with the power device by using the measured power-related information. Other methods and devices for measuring efficiency are further disclosed. | 09-30-2010 |

| 20110120078 | VARIABLE AREA FAN NOZZLE TRACK - A variable area fan nozzle for a high-bypass gas turbine engine includes a first track slider movable relative to the hinge beam along a first interface. A second track slider is movable relative to the first track slider along a second interface that is more closely controlled than the first interface. A VAFN cowl is mounted to the second track slider. | 05-26-2011 |
| 20110120079 | VARIABLE AREA FAN NOZZLE STIFFENERS AND PLACEMENT - A nacelle assembly for a high-bypass gas turbine engine is disclosed and includes a variable area fan nozzle (VAFN) including at least one second fan nacelle section movable relative to the first fan nacelle section to modify an area of the bypass flow path. At least one stiffener is mounted between the first fan nacelle section and the second fan nacelle section. The stiffeners modify mode shapes and natural frequencies to substantially reduce or eliminate flutter within operating ranges that are produced by unsteady aerodynamic loads. | 05-26-2011 |
| 20110120080 | VARIABLE AREA FAN NOZZLE COWL AIRFOIL - A nacelle assembly for a high-bypass gas turbine engine includes a variable area fan nozzle having a first fan nacelle section and a second fan nacelle section. The second fan nacelle section being axially movable relative the first fan nacelle section to define an auxiliary port to vary a fan nozzle exit area and adjust fan bypass airflow, the second fan nacelle section includes at least one cowl with an inner portion, an outer portion and a multiple of stiffeners therebetween to increase a flutter margin. | 05-26-2011 |
| 20110120081 | VARIABLE AREA FAN NOZZLE BEARING TRACK - A variable area fan nozzle for a high-bypass gas turbine engine includes a first track slider movable relative to the hinge beam along a first interface. A second track slider is movable relative to the first track slider along a second interface that includes a bearing assembly. A VAFN cowl is mounted to the second track slider. | 05-26-2011 |

| 20100291519 | TRAINING SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ATHLETES - The system monitors a user's key physical movements when performing a particular activity, such as a golf swing, and signals visually and/or aurally when a single (or several) error(s) is/are committed, for the purpose of encouraging faster learning of fundamentally sound physical skills. Mental conditioning is achieved when the effects of repeatedly listening to the specially constructed and authored audio conditioning programs during practice sessions and games are combined with the above described physical monitoring effects of the system. Better physical execution of a selected technique or skill results, and the user experiences the benefits of mental conditioning on his/her playing performance. | 11-18-2010 |

| 20120123309 | Orthotic device and method of manufacture - An orthotic device having a thin, flexible material defining a plantar wall and lateral, medial and posterior sidewalls. A fastening mechanism releasably secures the lateral and medial sidewalls together. In some embodiments, the plantar wall defines a laterally extending distal trimline positioned distal of the first metatarsal head and proximal of the third, fourth and fifth metatarsal heads when the foot is secured within the orthotic device. In other embodiments, the device includes a heel post having a distal terminal edge with a medial portion extending into the arch proximal to the navicular bone and a lateral portion positioned proximal of the arch. In still other embodiments, an elongate strip of padding material projects inwardly below and proximate the medial malleosus and the lateral malleosus and is positioned to inhibit withdrawal of the calcaneous bone. A method of manufacturing an orthotic device is also disclosed. | 05-17-2012 |
