| 20090162390 | Molecular Scaffolds for HIV-1 Immunogens - Methods and compositions are provided which employ chimeric polypeptides having at least one heterologous epitope for a human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) neutralizing antibody. These chimeric polypeptides behave as molecular scaffolds which are capable of presenting the various heterologous HIV-1 epitopes.

| 20110025497 | OCCUPANCY SENSORS PROGRAMMED TO DETERMINE LOSS OF LAMP LIFE AS LAMP IS USED - Programmable occupancy sensors that control the on/off operation of a fluorescent lamp automatically determine loss of lamp life as the lamp is used. The programmable occupancy sensors can provide lamp life status and can automatically alert a user when a lamp is nearing its end of life and should be replaced. The occupancy sensors are also programmable to automatically maximize lamp life and energy savings by selecting an optimal time delay from among a number of selectable time delays at which to operate the sensor. The selection is based on an occupancy pattern sensed by the sensor over a given period of time. The optimal time delay, which prevents the lamp from turning off immediately after last sensing occupancy, extends lamp life by limiting the number of lamp off/on transitions, which shortens lamp life, in view of overall energy usage and lamp usage. | 02-03-2011 |

The electric motor for driving the scroll compressor is not an induction motor, but rather a line fed permanent magnet synchronous motor is utilized. Such motors have a higher overall efficiency, and thus will be more efficient at reduced capacity operation. | 02-04-2010 |
| 20100028184 | TEMPERATURE PROTECTION SWITCH BIASED AGAINST SCROLL COMPRESSOR SHELL - A sealed compressor is provided with a temperature sensor biased against an outer surface of its shell. By biasing the temperature sensor against the shell, good contact between the temperature sensor and the shell is ensured. Also by use of molded material around the senor, the sensor is insulated from ambient air, increasing the accuracy of the sensor. | 02-04-2010 |
| 20100050673 | OIL RETURN ALGORITHM FOR CAPACITY MODULATED COMPRESSOR - A control for a compressor motor is programmed to operate the motor at at least one low capacity and at least one higher capacity. The control is operable to estimate an amount of oil which will have migrated from said compressor shell, at least when the compressor is operating at the lower capacity rate. The motor control moves the compressor motor from the lower capacity to at least one higher capacity once the estimated quantity of oil exceeds a predetermined limit.

| 20110070114 | OIL RETURN VALVE FOR A SCROLL COMPRESSOR - A valve for selectively allowing the return of oil from a discharge plenum to a suction plenum includes a passage which is selectively opened or blocked by a valve spool. The valve spool sees a pressure from a discharge pressure location upstream of a discharge check valve on one face, and a discharge pressure from a discharge plenum on an opposed face. While the compressor is running, the two pressures should be relatively equal. The face which sees the pressure from the chamber upstream of the check valve is larger than the face which sees the pressure from the discharge plenum. Thus, when the compressor is running, the valve spool is biased to a first position at which it allows oil return from the discharge plenum to the suction plenum. However, upon shutdown of the compressor, the pressure in the chamber upstream of the discharge valve drops. The valve spool will be driven to a second position at which it blocks communication for oil return. | 03-24-2011 |

The substrate has a thickness of between about 1.3 and 1.6 micrometers measured at a distance of four micrometers from the blade tip, a thickness of between about 2.2 and 2.7 micrometers measured at a distance of eight micrometers from the blade tip, a thickness of between about 3.8 and 4.9 micrometers measured at a distance of sixteen micrometers from the blade tip, a ratio of thickness measured at four micrometers from the blade tip to the thickness measured at eight micrometers from the blade tip of at least 0.55 and a ratio of thickness measured at four micrometers from the blade tip to the thickness measured at sixteen micrometers from the blade tip of at least 0.30. | 01-21-2010 |
| 20110120973 | RAZOR BLADES AND RAZORS - Razors are described herein. In some instances the razors include a safety razor blade unit comprising a guard, a cap, and at least two blades with parallel sharpened edges located between the guard and cap. A first blade defines a blade edge nearer the guard and a second blade defines a blade edge nearer the cap. The first blade has a cutter force greater than the cutter force of the second blade. In some instances the razors provide a comfortable shave having improved closeness. | 05-26-2011 |

| 20110214643 | FUEL HEATING SYSTEM AND METHOD - This disclosure relates a system for heating fuel supplied by a common rail fuel supply to an internal combustion engine. The system includes a high pressure fuel line, plural fuel injectors connected in series along the high pressure fuel line in the common rail, and a continuous low pressure passage including a heat exchanging portion in close proximity to the high pressure fuel line. A heated fluid source is operative to fluidly communicate with the continuous low pressure passage and circulate heated fluid to heat fuel present in the high pressure fuel line prior to, and during a cold start operation of the internal combustion engine. Other embodiments relate to a method of providing fuel to an internal combustion engine that includes sensing the temperature of fuel supplied to a fuel system and determining whether the sensed fuel temperature is greater than a predetermined value. The method includes circulating heated fluid in a continuous low pressure circuit to heat fuel present in a high pressure fuel line if the sensed fuel temperature is less than or equal to a predetermined value, and evacuating fluid for heating fuel from a portion of the continuous low pressure passage and fluidly connecting the evacuated portion of the continuous low pressure passage to a fuel leakage detection device if the sensed fuel temperature is greater than the predetermined value. | 09-08-2011 |

| 20090267701 | QUADRATURE MODULATOR AND CALIBRATION METHOD - A quadrature modulator and a method of calibrating same by applying a first test tone signal to an in-phase modulation branch input of the modulator and a ninety degree phase-shifted version of the first test tone signal to a quadrature modulation branch input of the modulator. The carrier leakage level in an output signal of the modulator is measured and in response base band dc offset voltages are adjusted to minimize the carrier leakage. A second test tone signal is applied to the in-phase modulation branch input and a ninety degree phase-shifted version of the second test tone signal to the quadrature modulation branch input. The level of an undesired upper sideband frequency component in the output signal is measured and in response base band gains the in-phase and quadrature modulation branches and a local oscillator phase error are adjusted to minimize the undesired side band. | 10-29-2009 |
