| 20100044137 | POWERED FOLDABLE SCOOTER - A scooter has a platform on which a rider can stand, a front wheel attached to a steering system including an upstanding handle bar and rear wheel which is driven. The scooter can be folded at a hinge line across the platform so to allow it to collapse. A case for the scooter includes a front part and a rear part covering the front and rear wheels with the parts brought together by the collapsing of the platform. This folding action also uses a pivot link to move the front and rear wheels pivoted within the respective case parts to a folded position. The steering includes a headstock with the steering bar connected to the front fork by a drive coupling which converts the rotation of the steering bar about the generally vertical axis to the rotation of the fork about an inclined axis. | 02-25-2010 |

| 20100147594 | REVERSE NOZZLE DRILL BIT - A drill bit design that employs reverse flow nozzles through which a portion of the drilling fluid is diverted. This reverse or upward flow of drilling fluid creates a condition by which the extraction of drilling sludge (combination of drilling fluid and drilling cuttings) in the cutting area of the drill bit is more efficient and has a greater amount of flow than designs of prior art. This increased flow has the effect of more efficiently removing damaging cuttings away from the drill cutters, lubricating the drill cutters more efficiently, and cooling the drill cutters more efficiently. The end result is increased drilling uptime, increased drilling speed, and less frequent drill bit catastrophic failures. | 06-17-2010 |

| 20090262790 | METHOD OF RECOVERY FROM ACTIVE PORT TX FAILURE IN Y-CABLE PROTECTED PAIR - A method is provided for defect recovery in Y-cable protected pair connections in communication systems. A receiver at a remote end monitors for loss of signal on the single fiber optic cable arriving at the remote end, and transmits an RDI back to the local end where it is detected by each of two receivers, one on an active card and one on a standby card. When a persistent RDI is detected by each receiver, transmission of content is flipped from the active transmitter to the standby transmitter, without performing a full APS. If RDIs are no longer received from the remote end, then the defect was likely in the single transmitter of the active card or the single optical fiber leading from the active card to the Y-junction, and the local end realizes that switching transmission to the standby card resolved the problem and a full APS is performed. The invention allows for quick recovery from defects in portions of the Y-cable communication system which may not otherwise be correctable, or even detectable, by conventional higher level fault recovery protocols. | 10-22-2009 |
