| 20110027767 | Anthropomorphic mannequin - The anthropomorphic mannequin includes a skeletal portion made from relatively hard, rigid material, organ and muscle portions made from softer, compressible, and extensible materials, and a skin portion made from compressible and extensible materials. Extensible materials are attached to a core structure and distributed in middle and outer layers of the anthropomorphic model and connect skeletal members to simulate the movement and feel of soft tissue and muscles across the joints. An elastic cord connected across the joints produces a life-like feel to the touch. The anthropomorphic mannequin allows flexion, extension, side bending, and rotation at appropriate joints to simulate human joint movement. The mannequin provides a training dummy for those who have to physically manipulate a human patient. | 02-03-2011 |

| 20100325134 | ACCURACY MEASUREMENT OF DATABASE SEARCH ALGORITHMS - A system, method and program product for evaluating search algorithms. A method is provided that includes: defining a population of searches and database records from a search history database; applying a sampling method and direct sampling rates to each search/record pair in the population using a computing system, wherein search/record pairs having a higher variability relative to the population are assigned a relatively higher probability; randomly sampling a direct sample of search/record pairs with the computing system using the direct sampling rates to increase a likelihood of obtaining search/record pairs having the higher variability; running a search algorithm and measuring errors for the direct sample and/or for an associated indirect sample; and calculating an estimated error rate for the search algorithm using inverse probability weighting. | 12-23-2010 |

| 20100236661 | Industrial container filling lance - The industrial container filling lance is an elongate pipe having a hose connector allowing connection of a hose from a fluid source to the lance, a ball valve for regulating flow of fluid through the pipe, and a fill spout for delivery of the fluid to an industrial container. The lance is disposed atop a hinged slide clamp attached to a telescoping lance support assembly, which extends vertically from a pedestal base. The elongate locking handle, rotated in the open position, allows the lance to be swung upward away from a fill container, and alternatively allows the lance to be longitudinally positioned precisely over a container to be filled. The elongate locking handle can be rotated over the lance to prevent movement of the lance during the container filling procedure. A rotating lock collar on the support stand assembly secures the support height while allowing angular rotation of the lance. | 09-23-2010 |

| 20100328984 | PIEZO-EFFECT TRANSISTOR DEVICE AND APPLICATIONS - A piezo-effect transistor (PET) device includes a piezoelectric (PE) material disposed between first and second electrodes; and a piezoresistive (PR) material disposed between the second electrode and a third electrode, wherein the first electrode comprises a gate terminal, the second electrode comprises a common terminal, and the third electrode comprises an output terminal such that an electrical resistance of the PR material is dependent upon an applied voltage across the PE material by way of an applied pressure to the PR material by the PE material. | 12-30-2010 |
| 20110133603 | COUPLING PIEZOELECTRIC MATERIAL GENERATED STRESSES TO DEVICES FORMED IN INTEGRATED CIRCUITS - A coupling structure for coupling piezoelectric material generated stresses to an actuated device of an integrated circuit includes a rigid stiffener structure formed around a piezoelectric (PE) material and the actuated device, the actuated device comprising a piezoresistive (PR) material that has an electrical resistance dependent upon an applied pressure thereto; and a soft buffer structure formed around the PE material and PR material, the buffer structure disposed between the PE and PR materials and the stiffener structure, wherein the stiffener structure clamps both the PE and PR materials to a substrate over which the PE and PR materials are formed, and wherein the soft buffer structure permits the PE material freedom to move relative to the PR material, thereby coupling stress generated by an applied voltage to the PE material to the PR material so as change the electrical resistance of the PR material. | 06-09-2011 |

| 20110223652 | PIEZOELECTRIC-BASED NANOPORE DEVICE FOR THE ACTIVE CONTROL OF THE MOTION OF POLYMERS THROUGH THE SAME - Apparatus, system, and methods are provided for utilizing piezoelectric material for controlling a polymer through a nanopore. A reservoir is formed filled with conductive fluid. A membrane is formed that separates the reservoir. A nanopore is formed through the membrane. The membrane comprises electrical conductive layers, piezoelectric layers, and insulating layers. The piezoelectric layers are operative to control a size of the nanopore for clamping/releasing a polymer as well as to control the thickness of part of the membrane when a voltage is applied to the piezoelectric layers. Combinations of clamping/releasing the polymer and changing the thickness of part of the membrane can move a polymer through the nanopore at any electrically controlled speed and also stretch or break a polymer in the nanopore. | 09-15-2011 |
| 20110224098 | Nanopore Based Device for Cutting Long DNA Molecules into Fragments - Apparatus, system, and method are provided for cutting a linear charged polymer inside a nanopore. A first voltage is applied to create an electric field in a first direction. A second voltage is applied to create an electric field in a second direction, and the first direction is opposite to the second direction. When the electric field in the first direction and the electric field in the second direction are applied to a linear charged polymer inside a nanopore, the linear charged polymer is cut at a location with predetermined accuracy. | 09-15-2011 |
