Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090260167PICK-UP DEVICE - A pick-up device for picking up debris or other objects that includes a base to which an operating handle is attached by way of a swivel. A supply of sticky elements is releasably held to the base by retaining structure. The supply includes a plurality of tacky sheets arranged in a stack that are attached to a backing member. The structure for holding the supply to the base may comprise retainers and tabs, pins frictionally engaged in corresponding apertures, hook and loop elements or clips forming part of the base. The tablet-like supply includes an outermost sheet having a tacky surface to which debris or objects are held. An exhausted sheet is peeled from the stack to expose the tacky surface of an adjacent sheet.10-22-2009

20110175746SCANNER FOR VIBRATION MAPPING - A method of detecting motion in components that form part of a structure. The method includes flooding a first component with transmitted radio frequency signals and receiving reflected radio frequency signals from the first component with an antenna. The method further includes generating a first set of intermediate frequency signals based on differences between the transmitted radio frequency signals and the reflected radio frequency signals and measuring the first set of intermediate frequency signals. The method further includes flooding a second component with transmitted radio frequency signals and receiving reflected radio frequency signals from the second component with an antenna. The method further includes generating a second set of intermediate frequency signals based on differences between the transmitted radio frequency signals and the additional reflected radio frequency signals and measuring the second set of intermediate frequency.07-21-2011
20110175768RELATIVE VIBRATION MEASUREMENT - A method of detecting motion in a load bearing member on a machine. The method includes positioning a Doppler radar detector on the machine and orienting the Doppler radar detector such that the Doppler radar detector floods the load bearing member transmitted radio frequency signals. The method further includes receiving reflected radio frequency signals from the load bearing member with an antenna and generating intermediate frequency signals based on differences between the transmitted radio frequency signals and the reflected radio frequency signals. The method further includes measuring the intermediate frequency signals.07-21-2011

20090115843Interactive Television System and Method - A system and method for simulating a user's participation at an event. The system and method including providing a virtual queue or line for meeting and obtaining an autograph of a celebrity, attending a live event and/or for purchasing an item. The system and method include providing video and audio content to a remote user device, such as a television or a computer, for display on the monitor. A plurality of video cameras positioned in and around a line for obtaining an autograph provide a respective plurality of video and audio feeds that are broadcast to users of the system. An interface selectively changes the feed shown on the user's device to simulate movement in the line toward the celebrity until the user is able to view the celebrity autograph an item specifically designated for the user. The item can be merchandise, such as a CD, DVD, photograph or poster, selected by the user. The system mails the autographed item to the viewer and can also provide a recording of the autograph session.05-07-2009
