A process for preparing an article includes applying the composition to the surface of a substrate and removing the aqueous carrier to form a hybrid metal oxide coating on the surface of the substrate. | 06-25-2009 |
| 20090163656 | HYBRID VEHICLE SYSTEMS - A hybrid film-forming composition is prepared by forming an aqueous mixture including an organofunctional silane, a metal chloride, and an acid, and boiling the mixture. A base is added to the aqueous mixture to substantially neutralize the mixture and to form a hydroxide of the metal. A colloidal suspension including the metal hydroxide and a siloxy compound is formed. A peroxide-based solution is added to the suspension to form a suspension including a peroxide of the metal. The suspension is allowed to equilibrate at room temperature. The suspension is boiled at a pressure greater than atmospheric pressure to form a hybrid film-forming composition including the condensation product of a siloxy compound and a metal peroxide. A coating formed from the hybrid film-forming composition may be hydrophobic or hydrophilic. | 06-25-2009 |

| 20100172715 | Floating Tapping Plate and Pocket - A floating fastener base and pocket are disclosed. The base and pocket permit the adjustable positioning of a stud, such as a striker bolt, prior to final assembly and tightening. A floating fastener base has one or more flanges which fit within a pocket created by one or more respective flange receptacles formed on a substrate. The floating fastener base is inserted into the floating fastener base pocket. This provides a fastening base for a stud wherein the fastening base and the stud are positionally adjustable prior to final retention of the stud, typically accomplished by tightening of the stud. | 07-08-2010 |

| 20090205703 | APPARATUS AND METHOD OF MOUNTING AND SUPPORTING A SOLAR PANEL - The present invention generally relates to a simple and cost effective device and method for mounting and supporting solar panels. A solar panel according to the present invention is supported from the backside via a plurality of elongated support members. The elongated support members may have open V-shaped or W-shaped arrangements and may be adhered to the solar panels through strong, flexible glue or double-sided tape that withstands significant environmental loads, such as wind uploading, yet remain flexible enough to minimize stress concentrations in the solar panels. The support members may be attached to a solar panel by a support member attachment module incorporated into an automated solar panel production line. A plurality of solar panels may be field mounted to a solar panel support structure having one or more piles or the like with at least a lower and upper transverse support rails spanning the plurality of solar panels. | 08-20-2009 |

| 20100169485 | Directory viewports - The illustrative embodiments provide for filtering LDAP requests and server responses. A viewport server is configured with filtering rules for responses from a directory server where the responses are generated to fulfill requests from a client application. The filtering rules determine which data is to be forwarded to the client application. One or more responses are intercepted from the directory server to the client application. The one or more intercepted responses are filtered according to the filtering rules to produce a set of filtered responses. The set of filtered responses are then sent to the client application. | 07-01-2010 |

| 20110169412 | REFLECTOR FOR A LIGHTING ASSEMBLY - A lighting assembly utilizing a reflective body for use with a light source to uniformly disperse the light from the light source. The reflective body includes a lower array of first reflectors arranged about a central axis. Each of the first reflectors form an obtuse angle with the next adjacent first reflector. The reflective body also includes an upper array of second reflectors arranged about the central axis. Each of said second reflectors include a left face and a right face. The upper array defines obtuse angles between next adjacent second reflectors. Additionally, reflex angles are defined between the left and right faces of the second reflectors. The combination of angles evenly disperse the light supplied from the light source to provide a pleasant glow for illuminating an area below the lighting assembly without causing hot spots. | 07-14-2011 |
