| 20090117012 | Air Treatment Device Utilizing A Sensor For Activation And Operation - The present invention provides a system for detecting a malodor and dispensing an air treatment when needed. In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the system includes a selection mechanism which allows the user to choose how the system dispenses the air treatment, a sensor, a timing control circuit coupled with the sensor, and a delivery system coupled with the timing control circuit. Upon detection of a malodor by the sensor, the sensor communicates with the timing control circuit which, in turn, communicates with the delivery system to dispense the air treatment. In another exemplary embodiment of the present invention, an air-freshening system is shown that combines a continuous dispensing system with a sensing dispensing system. | 05-07-2009 |
| 20090185952 | AIR TREATMENT DEVICE UTILIZING A SENSOR FOR ACTIVATION AND OPERATION - In an exemplary embodiment, the present invention includes at least one reservoir with a delivery mechanism in communication therewith. The delivery mechanism draws an air treatment material from the reservoir and provides the air treatment material in response to a decreased level of active air treatment material or the detection of a malodor. Additionally, the delivery mechanism includes a control system and a detection system. The control system activates the detection system at a timed interval or in response to a change in one or more ambient conditions (e.g., motion, temperature, light, humidity, etc.). Once activated, the detection system samples the environment for either the level of active air treatment material or the quality of the environment. | 07-23-2009 |
| 20100059601 | Energy conserving vapor-dispersing device with optional repeating off cycles - An electrical vapor-dispersing device is described that vaporizes volatizable material continuously and uninterrupted when first plugged into an AC electrical source, but upon operation of an initiator switch begins cycling fixed “OFF/ON” periods preset at from about 6 to about 18-hours to conserve both energy and volatizable material. In the preferred embodiment, an LED signals when the total elapsed “on-time” reaches a set value and refill of the volatizable material is required. The device is returned to constant operation only by unplugging from the electrical source and plugging back in to the electrical mains, or by electrical power failure/interruption. | 03-11-2010 |

Upon detection of a malodor by the sensor, the sensor communicates with the timing control circuit which, in turn, communicates with the delivery system to dispense the air treatment. In another exemplary embodiment of the present invention, an air-freshening system is shown that combines a continuous dispensing system with a sensing dispensing system. | 05-06-2010 |
| 20100119408 | ACTIVE DISPENSING SYSTEM AND METHOD - The present invention provides a system for dispensing a volatizable material when needed. In an exemplary embodiment, the system includes a sensor to detect malodors, where the sensing of a malodor is used to activate fragrance emission when needed, and not, when not needed. In an exemplary embodiment, the sensor is able to distinguish between different malodors in different locations, such that a single system may be used in different locations. In an exemplary embodiment, the system includes an indicator configured to indicate to the sensor the type of malodor to detect to activate fragrance emission. In an exemplary embodiment, the indicator is included with the container of volatizable liquid, either mechanically or electrically. | 05-13-2010 |

| 20080279044 | Ultrasonic Ranging in the Near Zone - An ultrasonic ranging device for ultrasonic ranging in the near zone. The device may include a transducer for generating an ultrasonic signal and for detecting an echo signal. The device may also include a processor for calculating the distance to a target object based on a first time period defined by a first set of ultrasonic signals when the target object is located outside the near zone and a second time period defined by a second set of ultrasonic signals when the target object is located within the near zone. The processor may also adjust the amplitude of the generated ultrasonic signal until the first set of ultrasonic signals is detected at the transducer. | 11-13-2008 |
| 20090315278 | Measurement Systems Having Seals With Pressure Relief - Embodiments of systems include primary and secondary seals, and pressure-relief devices that are configured and positioned so that the secondary seals can have maximum rated capacities substantially less than those of the primary seals. | 12-24-2009 |
| 20100030935 | Modbus Register Data Reformatting - A Modbus data protocol register formatting system and method are disclosed. The system and method provide for the Modbus communications protocol request and recall of data stored in a register in the data base native format, and the conversion of the data into a different requested format. The system and method similarly provide for the writing of data into a device register from a known variable format into the data base native format. The ability to convert the data by a format converter after recalling the data, or before storing the data, obviates the need to store or write data in different or multiple formats. The inventive method uses a modified register mapping that comprises defined mapping elements identifying the data address location, the requested data format, along with the data variable. The register mapping is fully variable to provide for a wide range of data formats and data address formats. The inventive system uses, in addition to the Modbus master and slave devices, a format converter that converts the data recalled into the requested data format, or converts the data to be written into the slave device native data format. | 02-04-2010 |

| 20110010632 | COMPUTER INTERCONNECTION SYSTEM - A computerized switching system for coupling a workstation to a remotely located computer. A signal conditioning unit receives keyboard and mouse signals generated by a workstation and generates a data packet which is transmitted to a central crosspoint switch. The packet is routed through a crosspoint switch to another signal conditioning unit located at a remotely located computer. The second signal conditioning unit applies the keyboard and mouse commands to the keyboard and mouse connectors of the computer as if the keyboard and mouse were directly coupled to the remote computer. Video signals produced by the remote computer are transmitted through the crosspoint switch to the workstation. Horizontal and vertical sync signals are encoded on to the video signals to reduce the number of cables that extend between the workstation and the remote computer. The signal conditioning units connected to the workstations include an onscreen programming circuit that produces menus for the user on a video display of the workstation. | 01-13-2011 |

| 20090265272 | MONEY TRANSFERS UTILIZING A UNIQUE RECEIVER IDENTIFIER - Methods, systems, and machine-readable media are disclosed for financial transfers utilizing a unique identifier to facilitate flexible payment options for the transaction. According to one embodiment, a pull transaction model can be implemented. According to such embodiments, a money transfer can be initiated in a conventional manner via an agent of a money transfer facilitator. The sender of the transfer can provide an identifier for the transaction to the recipient. The recipient can in turn use the identifier, in combination with functionality of a mobile wallet application of a mobile device to request or “pull” the money transfer to an account associated with the mobile wallet application. In this way, the recipient can receive the transfer to the mobile wallet account even if the sender does not know that such a delivery is available. | 10-22-2009 |
