Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100242308FOOTWEAR WITH INTERFACE FOR ATTACHING DEVICES - Footwear for use with a plurality of footwear-mounted devices, a combination of footwear and footwear-mounted devices, and footwear-mounted devices. In some cases, the footwear may include a heel portion and forefoot portion that may be independently coupled in a locked engagement with the footwear-mounted devices. In one embodiment, the footwear-mounted device may be slidably coupled with the heel receiver and/or the forefoot receiver with an insertion motion that is substantially coplanar with the footwear's sole.09-30-2010

20110175700CONDUCTIVE POLYMER ELECTRONIC DEVICES WITH SURFACE MOUNTABLE CONFIGURATION AND METHODS FOR MANUFACTURING SAME - Surface-mountable conductive polymer electronic devices include at least one conductive polymer active layer laminated between upper and lower electrodes. Upper and lower insulation layers, respectively, sandwich the upper and lower electrodes. First and second planar conductive terminals are formed on the lower insulation layer. First and second cross-conductors are provided by plated through-hole vias, whereby the cross-conductors connect each of the electrodes to one of the terminals. Certain embodiments include two or more active layers, arranged in a vertically-stacked configuration and electrically connected by the cross-conductors and electrodes in parallel. Several embodiments include at least one cross-conductor having a chamfered or beveled entry hole through the upper insulation layer to provide enhanced adhesion between the cross-conductor and the insulation layer. Several methods for manufacturing the present surface-mountable conductive polymer electronic devices are also provided.07-21-2011

20100076688BOREHOLE CHARACTERIZATION - In some embodiments, apparatus and systems, as well as methods, may operate to acquire borehole standoff data (03-25-2010
20100132434INTERCHANGEABLE MEASUREMENT HOUSINGS - Apparatus, methods for forming the apparatus, and methods for operating the apparatus provide a modular unit of hardware to make measurements in a well. The modular unit may include a housing arranged for placement in a drill-string element, where the housing includes a sensor and is structured such that the housing is transferable to another drill-string element without a calibration of the sensor during or after the transfer. The drill-string elements associated with the transfer may be of different sizes.06-03-2010
20100145621COMBINING LWD MEASUREMENTS FROM DIFFERENT AZIMUTHS - Apparatus, methods for forming the apparatus, and methods for operating the apparatus provide a value for a formation property or a borehole property from measurements obtained in a well. The value may be generated from determining a weighted average of the value for the formation property or the borehole property using both values corresponding to different azimuths and weights corresponding to different azimuths.06-10-2010
20100193676DETERMINING FORMATION CHARACTERISTICS - In some embodiments, apparatus and systems, as well as methods, may operate to irradiate a portion of a geological formation (08-05-2010

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100032238METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CLIMBING TREES - A climbing device having a main support member with a pair of ancillary support members connected to and extending outwardly at an angle from the main support member. The main support member has a brace at one end and a stop at the opposite end. A pair of cable supports are pivotally attached to the ancillary supports. The cable supports have slots that receive stops on a cable to releasably attach the cable to the climbing device.02-11-2010
