| 20100078079 | Outdoor sillcock mounting kit - The outdoor sillcock mounting kit is positioned around a pipe that is connected to a sillcock. The kit is utilized prior to adding finishing material to the outer wall of a home or building. The kit permits adjustments to the pipe and the sillcock when necessary due to a change in the dimensions of the finished material added to the outer wall, especially those outer finished walls that add brick, stucco, and other types of building materials. The kit has three components, two sleeves of the same basic shape and size except one sleeve is longer. The longer sleeve can be utilized with the third component, which is a block-shaped cover. The cover is utilized with rectangular-type finishing material on the outer wall, and fits over the longer sleeve. | 04-01-2010 |

| 20110070594 | Method for Detecting Escherichia coli - Described herein are methods of detecting an infection and for detecting the presence or absence of microorganisms, for example, wound pathogens in a sample, by contacting a sample with an enzyme produced and/or secreted by the bacteria, and detecting modification or the absence of modification of the substrate, as an indicator of the presence or absence of the enzyme in the sample. The present invention also features a biosensor for detecting the presence or absence of bacteria in a sample. | 03-24-2011 |

| 20080257924 | VEHICLE ARTICLE CARRIER HAVING SWING IN PLACE CROSS BARS - A vehicle article carrier system having a pair of swingable cross bars. The cross bars can be placed in a first configuration in which they extend perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the vehicle. They can easily be released and re-secured in a different configuration wherein they take the form of low profile side rails. A particular advantage is that when the cross bars are moved into their positions perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the vehicle, each of the cross bars is raised to an elevated position. This provides additional clearance above the outer body surface for articles being supported on the cross bars. | 10-23-2008 |
| 20080308590 | VEHICLE ARTICLE CARRIER HAVING SINGLE SIDED RELEASABLE AND STOWABLE CROSS BARS - A vehicle article carrier adapted to be mounted to an outer body surface of a motor vehicle. The carrier has a pair of cross bars that can each be stowed on corresponding pairs of support elements when the cross are not needed for use without the need to completely detach either of the cross bars from their associated support elements. A rear one of the cross bars has a single sided release feature that enables both end supports at opposite ends of the rear cross bar to be simultaneously unlocked or locked from a rear pair of support elements from either end support. The rear cross bar can also be slidably positioned along the rear pair of support elements to better configure the cross bars to support variously sized articles thereon. | 12-18-2008 |
| 20110138585 | PHOTOVOLTAIC SUPPORT FRAME RAIL SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR USE WITH PHOTOVOLTAIC PANELS - A lockable clamping system for use in securing photovoltaic (PV) panels to a frame rail component, wherein the frame rail component includes structure for engaging with a portion of the lockable clamping system. The lockable clamping system may have a clamp member having a body portion, with the body portion having a bore. A fastener may be operatively coupled to the clamp member and may extend through the bore in the clamp member generally perpendicular to the clamp member. The fastener may have a head portion having a key shaped recess, the key shaped recess configured to allow rotation of the fastener only via predetermined security key shaped to engage with the key shaped recess. The clamp member and the fastener may cooperatively operate to clamp adjacently positioned edges of a pair of PV panels to the frame rail component by engagement of a portion of the fastener with a portion of the frame rail component, while rotation of the clamp member is inhibited except through the use of the predetermined security key. | 06-16-2011 |

| 20100080669 | Operator Input Device for a Robotic Surgical System - An input device for a robotic surgical instrument includes an operator input on a handle that is rotatably supported by a supporting link structure. A primary winding of a rotary transformer is fixed to the supporting link structure and connected to an electric power source. A secondary winding is fixed to the handle. An axial passage extends through the primary and secondary windings. An optical data transmitter is connected to the operator input to transmit data from the operator input through the axial passage. The secondary transformer winding provides power to the optical data transmitter without physical contact. An optical data receiver fixed to the supporting link structure receives data from the optical data transmitter transmitted through the axial passage in the rotary transformer without physical contact. The transmission of power and data without physical contact allows the handle to rotate continuously. | 04-01-2010 |

| 20110047110 | OVERCODING-AND-PARING: A BUFFERLESS CHUNKING PROCESS AND USES THEREOF - The invention provides a computer-implemented chunking process (named “OP”) to assign and physically associate unique spatial representations (“chunk codes”) in one representational (coding) space (“chunk coding space”) with unique temporal sequences of spatial codes (“items”) in another coding space (“item coding space”). OP differs from all prior chunking processes in that, for any particular item sequence, it activates a unique chunk code for that sequence during presentation of that sequence's first item, even if other sequences from the input domain may begin with the same item. | 02-24-2011 |

| 20090176020 | Apparatus and method for treating and impregnating porous structures - Apparatus and method for treating by injecting a fluid treatment material into the bodies of porous structures such as those formed from concrete, brick, stone, marble, and wood. The apparatus for use in the method includes an applicator head having an inner chamber and an outer chamber surrounding the inner chamber both of which chambers are connected with a vacuum source. The inner chamber is also connected with a source of pressurized liquid treatment material. The method is non-invasive in that the fluid treatment material impregnates the porous structure without the need to break open, destroy, repair, or replace any part of the structure, and includes the steps of engaging the structures with the applicator head, drawing a vacuum on at least the outer chamber to secure the applicator head to the structure, and supplying the pressurized liquid treatment material to the inner chamber to and onto the surface of the structure to impregnate the structure to be treated. | 07-09-2009 |
