20090322504 | Multizone capacitive anti-pinch system - An anti-pinch assembly is used for a closure panel movable between open and closed positions on a motor vehicle. A controller operably connected to the closure panel controls operation thereof. A position sensor connected to the controller indicates the position of the closure panel between the open and closed positions. A capacitive sensor mounted on the vehicle and connected to the controller provides an output signal to the controller indicative of the presence of a foreign object in the path of the closure panel. The controller varies the function of the capacitive sensor through a plurality of threshold levels as a function of the position of the closure panel as indicated by the position indicator. In a critical zone of travel with the closure panel nearing the closed position, the capacitive sensor can be utilized in either a contact mode or a non-contact mode or a combination of both. | 12-31-2009 |

20160117852 | Enabling Consumers to Customize a Piece of Artwork - A piece of artwork defined using a vector image format can be customized by the consumer. The consumer can select patterns to be applied to the shapes of the artwork as well as manipulate the appearance of the patterns once applied to the shapes. The manipulations can include translation, rotation, scaling, and inversion of the patterns. The manipulations that a consumer makes can be recorded so that they can be reapplied to a version of the artwork having a desired size. Multiple shapes can be grouped to facilitate applying and manipulating a pattern consistently across the grouped shapes. Relative values for manipulations can be generated to facilitate applying the manipulations consistently across versions of the artwork that have different aspect ratios. | 04-28-2016 |

20120132124 | SPAR Based Maritime Access Vehicle - The invention relates to a spar based vessel for accessing offshore installations and vessels, including wind farm turbines, in which the centre of gravity of the vessel is positioned below the centre of buoyancy, which is positioned below the operational waterline, the operational waterline occurs at low cross-sectional area vertical struts, and the vertical struts support a topside structure for passengers. Active ballast control system and location of the propulsive elements permits the vessel to travel in spar orientation by positioning the vector of propulsion to lie in the same horizontal plane as the transverse centre of drag of the vessel. A docking system permits safe connection of the vessel to offshore installations, including wind turbines of generic design. | 05-31-2012 |
