In one use, a resin component, a catalyst component and a first end of a rock-bolt are positioned in a bore hole. The torque nut is threaded onto the opposite end of the rock-bolt. Rotation of the torque nut rotates the rock-bolt, mixing the components. After the components set, increased torque is applied to the torque nut to fracture the insert and move the nut up the threaded end of the rock-bolt against roof stabilizing components. | 11-03-2011 |

| 20080222594 | Method and apparatus for aligning multiple outputs of an FPGA - Each data lane connected to a FPGA and forming part of a SFI channel may be trained independently to enable the outputs from the FPGA to be aligned. In operation, a known fixed pattern is repeated on each of the data lanes with the exception of the data lane being trained. The short fixed pattern is smaller than an SERDES capture range so that the SERDES may temporarily lock onto the short fixed pattern for all data lanes other than the lane being trained. Training data is then transmitted on the lane being trained and the preskew delay for that lane is adjusted until the receiving component indicates that the lanes are aligned. This process may iterate to find acceptable preskew delay values for all lanes. By training the lanes one at a time and using a short repeating pattern on the untrained lanes, the SERDES may register that the untrained lanes are operating correctly so that the feedback from the SERDES is related only to the lane being trained. | 09-11-2008 |

| 20090243270 | VEHICLE FRAME WITH STRESS RELIEF FEATURE - A vehicle frame includes a plurality of hollow tubular members welded together. An opening in a side wall of the frame which receives a door or window of the vehicle is bordered by at least two hollow tubular members which are interconnected by a non-tubular, reinforcing corner member. The reinforcing corner member includes a pair of solid parallel plates spaced apart by a perpendicular cross-member. Each plate of the reinforcing corner member has integral first and second elongated portions extending on either side of a continuous curve therebetween which has a substantially constant radius of curvature such as to define a smooth transition between the integral first and second elongated portions of the plate. The reinforcing corner member distributes stress away from the curved corner and to the tubular members, thereby preventing stress concentration at a joint between the two tubular members surrounding the opening in the frame. | 10-01-2009 |

| 20110313722 | RETURN PULSE SHAPE ANALYSIS FOR FALLING EDGE OBJECT DISCRIMINATION OF AEROSOL LIDAR - A LIDAR optical remote sensing system and method analyzes the falling edge profile of a return LIDAR signal that may be indicative of an object or an aerosol cloud, which is generally more diffuse. Using the falling edge profile permits burnthrough to an object that may be obscured by the aerosol cloud. The profile is compared against at least one threshold that may correspond, in various embodiments, to a negative slope of the falling edge, an integrated power under the falling edge, or a range estimate error for varying transmitted power values, varying transmitted pulse lengths and/or varying receiver detector field of view values. | 12-22-2011 |

| 20100199302 | DIGITAL COMMUNICATION SYSTEM WITH SECURITY FEATURES - A digital communication system is disclosed, that allows a display of override content to interrupt a display of ongoing content on one or more display units. Ongoing content, such as advertisements, news, entertainment, or other relevant information, is provided on the display units until an urgent or security-related alert is required, and display of override content becomes necessary. Override content can include information relevant to the security of a passenger or passer-by viewing the display. Override content can relate to security threats such as accidents, major delays, fire, missing children, terrorist activity, or other content deemed adequately pertinent to warrant interrupting the display of ongoing content. | 08-05-2010 |

| 20100000686 | Roll holder for tape dispenser and Tape Dispenser Assembly Therewith - The present invention discloses a roll holder for tape dispenser and a tape dispenser assembly therewith. The roll holder comprises a cylindrical body and an annular portion made from a material having a high friction coefficient, the annular portion being fixed inside the cylindrical body. The roll holder tape dispenser is supported by a shaft. Two cylindrical bodies are connected to a roll of tape, one at each extremity of the tape spool by press-fitting. The shaft passes through the annular portion and the friction occurring between the shaft and annular portion induce a tension in the tape when the tape is unwound from the roll. | 01-07-2010 |

| 20100084737 | Tunable Semiconductor Component Provided with a Current Barrier - This invention pertains to a color coatings blender apparatus to be used for color composition customization for the application of color coatings on 2D and 3D surfaces. The apparatus is comprised of a main body and interchangeable inserts all with central blender chambers and primary and secondary ports, and interchangeable spindles; the configurations of which are governed by coating technical characteristics. This invention integrates gradient specific programmable computer digital processes to function as internal editors, manipulate information and present the operator with multiple options and production overrides. This invention will make data analysis more interactive by utilizing existing external software applications as editors and expanding the process of visual communications for multiple purposes. While the blender apparatus, complete with external selectable appurtenances, can be used manually, it can also be combined with a programmable computer for producing physical gradient layers. | 04-08-2010 |
