| 20090210175 | Ultrasonic Leak Test System and Method - A leak detection system has a test frame for receiving a vehicle. An ultrasonic transmitter is placed within the vehicle under test. One or more robotic arms are disposed within the test frame and comprise ultrasonic receivers which detect ultrasonic energy emitting from the vehicle under test. The robotic arms connect to the ceiling of the test frame and move the ultrasonic receivers along the areas of the vehicle in which leakage may be expected to occur. A method in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure comprises the steps of placing an ultrasonic transmitter into a vehicle, scanning a vehicle identification number of a vehicle under test, placing an ultrasonic transmitter into the vehicle under test, moving the vehicle under test into a test frame, verifying a proper orientation of the vehicle for testing, activating robotically-controlled ultrasonic receivers, collecting leak test data, storing leak test data received from the ultrasonic receivers, and comparing the leak test data received to a normal leak test signature. | 08-20-2009 |

| 20090022856 | Oral pouch products with immobilized flavorant particles - An oral pouch product includes an immobilized flavorant comprising one or more flavorants and an immobilizing matrix disposed around the flavorants and containing slightly water soluble β-cyclodextrin, gum Arabic, and/or a starch. In addition, a method for preparing the oral pouch product is described, which includes (a) preparing an immobilized flavorant by mixing a flavorant and one or more matrix-forming materials comprising slightly water soluble β-cyclodextrin, gum Arabic, and/or a starch in a solvent to form a mixture; optionally heating the mixture; and drying the mixture to form a dried immobilized flavorant; and (b) incorporating the dried immobilized flavorant into an oral pouch product. | 01-22-2009 |
| 20090035414 | Method of flavor encapsulation through the use of a drum coater - A method of coating flavorants on oral pouch products is provided. A drum coater containing oral pouch products is rotated. A flavoring solution is sprayed to coat the oral pouch products while the oral pouch products are tumbling in the rotating drum. | 02-05-2009 |

| 20110114638 | LID FOR CONTAINERS AND METHODS - A plastic lid for a container includes a body having an outer periphery with a lip constructed and arranged to releasably attach to the container. A tab extends from the lip. The tab includes a tab boundary including first and second peripheral edges joined at a radiused portion. The tab also includes a floor within the tab boundary. There is at least one depression within the floor. The first peripheral edge has an incline increasing from the radiused portion to the lip. The second peripheral edge is substantially flat from the radiused portion to the lip. A plastic storage device includes the plastic container with the plastic lid. | 05-19-2011 |

| 20090000268 | THERMONUCLEAR PLASMA REACTOR FOR ROCKET THRUST AND ELECTRICAL GENERATION - A reactor system produces plasma rocket thrust using alpha-initiated atomic fuel pellets without the need for a critical mass of fissionable material. The fuel pellets include an outer layer reactive material to alpha particles to generate neutrons (e.g., porous lead or beryllium), an under-layer of fissionable material (e.g., thorium or enriched uranium), and an optional inner core of fusion material (e.g., heavy water ice, boron hydride). The pellets are injected one at a time into a charged reaction chamber containing a set of alpha beam channels, possibly doubling as ion accelerators, all directed toward a common point. Alpha particles converging on each successive pellet initiate an atomic reaction in the fissionable under-layer, via a neutron cascade from the pellet outer layer, producing plasma that is confined within the chamber. This may be enhanced by atomic fusion of the optional inner core. The resulting high-energy plasma creates electrostatic pressure on the chamber and is allowed to exit the chamber through a port. An ion accelerator at the exhaust port of the chamber accelerates outgoing plasma ions, possibly with added reaction mass, to generate the rocket thrust. An electric circuit that includes the charged chamber may collect the electrons in the plasma to help power the ion accelerator(s). | 01-01-2009 |
