Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080275604METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR SELECTIVELY MONITORING VEHICLE SYSTEMS AND FOR CONTROLLING VEHICLE SYSTEM PARAMETERS - A method for selectively monitoring one or more vehicle systems is disclosed. The method includes recognizing, at the vehicle, an activation device that is configured to trigger predetermined setting(s) for the one or more vehicle systems. The telematics unit transmits to a secure server a signal indicative of the fact that the activation device is in use. Access to the secure server for monitoring the one or more vehicle systems via an Internet-enabled program is selectively enabled. A system for monitoring one or more vehicle systems is also disclosed. Further, a method for controlling vehicle system parameters is disclosed herein.11-06-2008

20080200894ABSORBENT ARTICLE WITH LOTION COMPRISING A POLYPROPYLENE GLYCOL MATERIAL - An absorbent article, such as a catamenial device, comprises a liquid pervious topsheet, the topsheet having an inner surface oriented toward the interior of the absorbent article and an outer surface oriented toward the skin of the wearer when the absorbent article is being worn. The absorbent article includes a backsheet joined to the topsheet, the backsheet having an inner surface oriented toward the interior of the absorbent article and an outer surface oriented toward the garment of the wearer when the absorbent article is being worn. The absorbent article includes an absorbent core disposed between the topsheet and the backsheet, the absorbent core having an inner surface oriented toward the skin of the wearer when the absorbent article is being worn and an outer surface oriented toward the garment of the wearer when the absorbent article is being worn. The absorbent article includes a lotion composition applied to at least a portion of the inner surface of the topsheet, the inner surface of the backsheet, and/or a substrate or surface thereof disposed between the inner surface of the topsheet and the inner surface of the backsheet, wherein the lotion composition comprises a polypropylene glycol material.08-21-2008
20090209930ABSORBENT ARTICLE - An absorbent article for wearing in an undergarment. The absorbent article can include a nonwoven. The nonwoven can have a nonwoven body facing surface. The nonwoven can have a main body portion and pair of spaced apart flaps associated with the main body portion. Part of the main body portion can have a hydrophilic zone that is more hydrophilic than a portion of the flaps. The absorbent article can have film having a film garment facing surface wherein at least part of the film garment facing surface faces the nonwoven body facing surface.08-20-2009
20090221978ABSORBENT ARTICLE WITH LOTION COMPRISING A POLYPROPYLENE GLYCOL MATERIAL - An absorbent article, such as a catamenial device, comprises a liquid pervious topsheet, the topsheet having an inner surface oriented toward the interior of the absorbent article and an outer surface oriented toward the skin of the wearer when the absorbent article is being worn. The absorbent article includes a backsheet joined to the topsheet, the backsheet having an inner surface oriented toward the interior of the absorbent article and an outer surface oriented toward the garment of the wearer when the absorbent article is being worn. The absorbent article includes an absorbent core disposed between the topsheet and the backsheet, the absorbent core having an inner surface oriented toward the skin of the wearer when the absorbent article is being worn and an outer surface oriented toward the garment of the wearer when the absorbent article is being worn. The absorbent article includes a lotion composition applied to at least a portion of the outer surface of the topsheet, wherein the lotion composition comprises a polypropylene glycol material.09-03-2009

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090095446SYSTEM, METHOD, AND APPARATUS FOR PULSED-JET-ENHANCED HEAT EXCHANGER - A pulsed-jet active flowfield control actuation system enhances the rate of heat transfer and heat removal in a heat exchanger for better management of thermal loads. The pulsed jet actuators impart an unsteady component of velocity to the working fluid of the heat exchanger. This design increases the convective heat transfer, and avoids increases in heat exchanger volume and weight for a given performance value.04-16-2009
20100089031SYSTEM, METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR VECTORING NOZZLE EXHAUST PLUME WITH EXTERNAL ACTUATION - A vectoring nozzle with external actuation generates thrust vectoring by applying mechanical or fluidic actuation, or both, on the nozzle deck, external sidewalls, and/or air vehicle aft body to produce changes in the aft body flowfield and/or exhaust plume. An external mechanical sidewall may be integrated into a nozzle deck or side walls without the need for engine bleed to supply fluid injectors. An external fluidic vectoring system uses injectors or plasma devices located aft of the nozzle exit to vector the exhaust plume with no external moving parts. Elements of both mechanical and fluidic systems may be combined for a given application.04-15-2010
20110048025NOZZLE PLASMA FLOW CONTROL UTILIZING DIELECTRIC BARRIER DISCHARGE PLASMA ACTUATORS - Dielectric barrier discharge plasma actuators are used to manipulate exhaust flow within and behind a jet engine nozzle. The dielectric barrier discharge plasma actuators may be used to direct cooling airflow near the surface of the nozzle to reduce heating of the nozzle, create thrust vectoring, and reduce noise associated with the exhaust flow exiting the nozzle.03-03-2011

20090110472FLOATING PIN JOINT ASSEMBLY - A floating pin joint assembly pivotally connects a lift arm between spaced frame members. The lift arm includes a bushing with bearing surfaces supported on the pin for relative movement. Extending end portions of the pin are supported on bearing surfaces defined by collars connected to the frame members by inserts press fit into the frame members. Removable cover plates connected to the inserts contain the axial movement of the pin and permit removal of the pin and other components from the assembly. The load bearing surfaces are disposed within a lubricated chamber extending between the cover plates.04-30-2009
