Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110063167USING MAGNETOMETER WITH A POSITIONING SYSTEM - A mobile station determines an approximate latitude using a measured feature of the Earth's magnetic field. An approximate longitude may also be determined. The mobile station uses the approximate latitude and longitude, if determined, to assist in determining a position fix for the mobile station, e.g., by determining a list of visible satellites in a satellite positioning system (SPS) during search and acquisition of satellite signals and/or using the approximate position as a seed position in the position computation. The feature of the Earth's magnetic field may be, e.g., inclination or vertical intensity, and may be determined using data from a three-dimensional magnetometer and a three-dimensional accelerometer. An instantaneous value of the magnetic field feature may be averaged to reduce the affects of motion and the presences of large metallic masses.03-17-2011
20110227787ANTI-SPOOFING DETECTION SYSTEM - Spoofing of a satellite positioning system is detected by receiving position location data from multiple sources. The received data is compared and inconsistent data is marked. A position location is estimated based on the received position location data, while accounting for the marked inconsistent data.09-22-2011

20110159214GOLD-COATED POLYSILICON REACTOR SYSTEM AND METHOD - A reaction chamber system, and related devices and methods for use in the system, are provided in which reduced power consumption can be achieved by providing a thin layer of gold on one or more components inside a reaction chamber. The reaction chamber system can be used for chemical vapor deposition. The gold coating should be maintained to a thickness of at least about 0.1 microns, and more preferably about 0.5 to 3.0 microns, to provide a suitable emissivity inside the reaction chamber, and thus reduce heat losses.06-30-2011
20110203101CHUCK AND BRIDGE CONNECTION POINTS FOR TUBE FILAMENTS IN A CHEMICAL VAPOR DEPOSITION REACTOR - A chemical vapor deposition reactor system includes one or more tube filaments connected to a bridge, each tube filament being connected to a chuck. The chuck-to-filament connection can include a seed formed on an end of the tube filament, the seed being connected to a protrusion of the chuck, or the filament may be formed directly onto the chuck. For the bridge-to-filament connection, a flat cross bridge or a rectangular bridge is connected with corresponding openings in the filament. Use of these connections can maintain electrical connectivity and thus resistive heating of the tube filaments during operation of the reactor system.08-25-2011

20110268372Side-gusseted bag and method for manufacturing same - A side-gusseted bag has two front walls which are joined by a side gusset at a longitudinal side provided with a reclosure. The side gusset is folded-over outwards in the region of the reclosure in such a manner that the side gusset ends at its folded-over section at the associated longitudinal side. The reclosure running in the longitudinal direction is fastened to an inner surface of the side gusset at the folded-over section. A method for manufacturing a side-gusseted bag is also provided.11-03-2011

20080293000VARIABLE ORIFICE GAS FLOW MODULATING VALVE - A temperature control system for a gas appliance utilizes an improved variable orifice gas flow modulating valve (11-27-2008
20100001087VARIABLE OUTPUT HEATING CONTROL SYSTEM - A variable output heating control system includes a user interface, an operating parameter sensor, a controller, a combination control valve, a plurality of variable flow valves, and a plurality of burners. The user interface allows a user to enter operating parameters, such as a set temperature. The operating parameters sensor provides measured parameters, such as a measured temperature. The controller receives the set temperature and the measured temperature and generates commands to control the flow of gas, based on the set temperature and the measured temperature. The combination control valve shuts off the flow of gas from an external gas source based on a command from the controller. The plurality of variable flow valves vary the flow of gas that is received from the combination control valve and supplied to the burners. The plurality of burners provide heat based on the combustion of gas that is received from the plurality of variable flow valves.01-07-2010
