| 20090216364 | Systems and Methods for Efficiently Determining Item Slot Assignments - Techniques are described for assigning an item to a slot in an item storage facility, such as a warehouse or a distribution center. A plurality of scores are determined, each score associated with an item and slot pair, the slot chosen from a plurality of slots and each score representing a degree of conformity of the item to a desired sequence of item and slot pairs, wherein the degree of conformity is measured in a simulated pairing of the item with the slot chosen from the plurality of slots in a sequence of other item and slot pairs and a different slot is chosen from the plurality of slots for each simulated pairing with the item. The item is physically assigned to a best slot associated with a highest score among the plurality of scores. | 08-27-2009 |

| 20110042904 | CYLINDER HEAD GASKET ASSEMBLY - A static cylinder head gasket assembly includes an inner distance layer having an opening extending between opposite planar sides with the opening being configured to register with a cylinder bore of an internal combustion engine. A plurality of inner functional layers overlie each of the opposite sides of the inner distance layer. The inner functional layers have axially aligned, nested annular sealing beads extending about the opening in the distance layer. The gasket assembly further includes a plurality of outer functional layers separate from the inner functional layers. The outer functional layers have annular inner peripheries spaced axially from one another to provide a gap configured to receive at least a portion of the inner distance layer therein. The outer periphery of the inner distance layer is captured axially between the outer functional layers and thus, the inner distance layer is prevented from being disassembled from the outer functional layers. | 02-24-2011 |

| 20090143733 | PATIENT CONTROLLED ANALGESIA DEVICE AND METHOD OF ITS USE - A patient controlled analgesia device generally includes: a patient controlled analgesia pump and a biometric authentication system. The biometric authentication system generally includes a biometric pump controller coupled to the patient controlled analgesia pump that activates the patient controlled analgesia pump to deliver analgesia and a biometric switch adapted to receive a biometric input and operably coupled to the biometric pump controller to activate the biometric pump controller. A biometric authentication processor in the biometric pump controller activates the patient controlled analgesia pump to deliver analgesia only upon authenticating the biometric input received at the biometric switch. Optionally, the biometric pump controller also includes a dosing processor that limits delivery of analgesia according to a prescription. | 06-04-2009 |

| 20090327104 | SYSTEM FOR TRACKING AND PROVIDING VISIBILITY OF ORIGIN OF FOOD ELEMENTS - A method and apparatus which facilitates the application of GPS or other location-specific information directly to discrete units of food products. In one embodiment, a tractor pulls a harvesting apparatus which facilitates not only the harvesting and packaging of discrete food product units but also the application of location-specific time-stamped data directly onto the food product units or their packaging. Food product units planted in substantially parallel rows are cut from the ground by cutter personnel walking behind the moving apparatus, whereupon the cutters pass the food product to a cut product station atop the harvesting apparatus. The food product units are picked and packed by packer personnel situated atop the harvesting apparatus; during this step indicia is applied to the packaging (or the food product) which provides the association of GPS or other location-specific information with the discrete units of food products. | 12-31-2009 |

| 20090139168 | INTERIOR TRIM SYSTEM FOR USE OVER EXISTING MOLDING - An interior trim system comprising two-piece baseboards, baseboard end caps, window and door casings, crown moldings and window sill caps, the baseboards and crown molding formed with pre-mitered inside and outside corner pieces. The baseboards, end caps, casings and window sill caps can be installed over existing baseboards, casings and window sills without removing the original trim, and are glued into place with instant-hold glue. A template for accurately cutting the window sill cap is included in the system along with a miter guide provided for accurately cutting lengths of baseboards, casings, and crown molding. | 06-04-2009 |

| 20090044788 | ENGINE AIR BOOST SYSTEM - One implementation of an air boost system for an engine includes a boost device and an accumulator adapted to store pressurized fluid and selectively provide pressurized fluid to the boost device. A pump may deliver fluid under pressure to one or both of the accumulator and the boost device in at least some operating conditions. A first control valve may be disposed between the pump and the accumulator to control fluid flow to the accumulator, and a bypass may be provided between the pump and the first control valve. The bypass may, in at least some operating conditions, permit at least some of the pressurized fluid from the pump to bypass the accumulator and be delivered to the boost device. In one form, the accumulator is carried by the boost device in a compact unit. | 02-19-2009 |

| 20080245987 | Valve regulation for turbocharger - The present invention provides a two-stage turbocharger unit having a valve that will help to create a smooth transition of exhaust gas energy from the high-pressure turbine (HP) turbine to the low-pressure (LP) turbine. The LP and HP turbines are positioned such that the valve can be in one position to force all of the exhaust gas to flow through the HP turbine and when in another position to force all of the exhaust gas through the LP turbine. When the valve is placed in an intermediary position, the exhaust gas can be variably directed to flow through both turbines, with the percentage of exhaust gas flowing through each turbine being dependent on the position of the valve. | 10-09-2008 |
| 20090014674 | Valve regulation assembly - The present invention is directed to a bypass valve assembly having a valve housing with an inlet port, outlet port, and bypass port all formed within the valve housing. A valve member is operably connected to the valve housing and includes a first valve plate and second valve plate that face in substantially opposite directions from each other. The first valve plate articulates to form a tight barrier with the outlet port when the valve member is in a first position, and the second valve plate articulates to form a tight barrier with the bypass port when the valve member is in a second position. | 01-15-2009 |
| 20110094222 | Turbine regulating valve system - A regulated two-stage turbocharger system is described. The turbocharger system includes high-pressure and low-pressure turbocharger units in communication with one another. The turbocharger system includes a valve system having valve members that are independently controllable so as to selectively control the gas flow into the turbine portions of the high-pressure turbocharger and the low-pressure turbocharger units. The valve members are asymmetric, e.g., they possess differing areas (e.g., perimeters, diameters and/or the like) with respect to one another. | 04-28-2011 |
| 20110265471 | EXHAUST DRIVEN AUXILIARY AIR PUMP AND PRODUCTS AND METHODS OF USING THE SAME - One exemplary embodiment may include an engine breathing system including an exhaust driven auxiliary air pump to flow air directly into the exhaust side of the breathing system. | 11-03-2011 |
