20080210806Winder Roll Starting Apparatus with Pressure Device for Thick Webs - A winder has a scraper mounted about the axis of a winder drum for circumferential movement. The scraper has a semi-cylindrical concave surface which extends in the cross machine direction, the concave surface meets a second surface to form a scraping edge. The scraping edge engages the winder drum, scraping a web from the surface of the winder drum and pressing the web into engagement with double-sided sticky tape on a winder core with the concave surface.09-04-2008

20090052635Method for Accessing Data Via Voice - A method for providing access to data via a voice interface. In one embodiment, the system includes a voice recognition unit and a speech processing server that work together to enable users to interact with the system using voice commands guided by navigation context sensitive voice prompts, and provide user-requested data in a verbalized format back to the users. Digitized voice waveform data are processed to determine the voice commands of the user. The system also uses a “grammar” that enables users to retrieve data using intuitive natural language speech queries. In response to such a query, a corresponding data query is generated by the system to retrieve one or more data sets corresponding to the query. The user is then enabled to browse the data that are returned through voice command navigation, wherein the system “reads” the data back to the user using text-to-speech (TTS) conversion and system prompts.02-26-2009

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110262302BIO TURBO TECHNOLOGY OF REMOVING ETHYLENE GAS - The present invention provides with a method of purifying air with significant content of ethylene gas. Bacteria, pathogens, molds, fungus and ethylene gas are removed by using ozone and air filtration technology. This process is useful for storages and production facilities where ethylene might be harmful for perishable products.10-27-2011
20110283729ENERGY MIST SHIELD - The purpose of Energy Mist Shield is to protect refrigeration condenser coils from getting moisture during evaporative misting process and to protect condenser coils from damaging with harmful mineral deposits contained in water and to ensure the cleaning requirements of condensers such as dirt, leaves and debris.11-24-2011

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20130086591SYSTEM, METHOD AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR CONTROLLING A PROCESS USING A PROCESS MAP - In accordance with embodiments, there are provided mechanisms and methods for controlling a process using a process map. These mechanisms and methods for controlling a process using a process map can enable process operations to execute in order without necessarily having knowledge of one another. The ability to provide the process map can avoid a requirement that the operations themselves be programmed to follow a particular sequence, as can further improve the ease by which the sequence of operations may be changed.04-04-2013

20100014779METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR REDUCING ARTIFACTS IN IMAGE DETECTION - An imager captures light reflecting off an object of interest and generates two or more images of the object. A controller identifies one or more non-interpretation regions in one of the captured images and uses the non-interpretation regions to reduce a number of artifacts in a final image.01-21-2010

20090078858ORIENTATION DETERMINATION UTILIZING A CORDLESS DEVICE - A system for generating orientation information includes a reflector, an image collection system, and a processor. The image collection system is configured to collect at least two sets of image data, where one set of image data includes a stronger indication of the reflector than the other set of image data. The two sets of image data are collected using at least one reflector with some orientation-specific characteristic or a reflector integrated into a device that includes some orientation-specific structural feature. Once collected, the two sets of image data are used to generate orientation information related to the reflector. In particular, orientation information related to the reflector is generated by taking the difference between the two sets of image data.03-26-2009
20100001950POSITION DETERMINATION UTILIZING A CORDLESS DEVICE - A system for generating position information includes a reflector, an image collection system, and a processor. The image collection system is configured to collect at least two sets of image data, where one set of image data includes a stronger indication of the reflector than the other set of image data. The two sets of image data can be collected in many different ways and may include using a retroreflector as the reflector. The two sets of image data are used to generate position information related to the reflector. In particular, position information related to the reflector is generated by taking the difference between the two set of image data. Because one set of image data includes a stronger indication of the reflector than the other set of image data, the difference between the two sets of image data gives a definitive indication of the reflector's position.01-07-2010

20090106333BACKING UP A PROTOCOL ORDER ASSOCIATED WITH GENETIC TESTING - Computerized methods and systems for creating and documenting protocol orders in a molecular diagnostic laboratory environment are provided. Utilizing the methods and systems described herein, protocol statements may require values to be entered in association therewith prior to permitting access to subsequent protocol orders. Accordingly, more accurate test runs and, consequently, more accurate test results, may be achieved. Additionally, as values associated with protocol statements are electronically captured, in accordance with embodiments hereof, such values may be searched to evaluate trends or identify protocol orders and/or results that may be affected by a later discovered error or the like. Moreover, backing up a protocol order includes providing a backup protocol order for selection, in the event that an alternative test result is desired.04-23-2009

20100091250LIGHT UNIFORM DEVICE AND DLP PROJECTION SYSTEM COMPRISING THE SAME - The invention provides a light uniform device and a digital light processing (DLP) projection system applying the said light uniform device. The light uniform device comprises a light incident surface, a light emergent surface and a light uniform portion defined therebetween. The light incident surface and the light emergent surface have a first contour and a second contour, respectively. And a first projection image of the second contour that is projected onto a projection plane forms a rotational angle about a longitudinal axial direction corresponding to a second projection image of the first contour projected onto the projection plane. Thereby, the light sources may simply be disposed in the projection system to provide uniform light beams that entirely cover the DMD (digital micromirror device) after being uniformed by the light uniform device. Neither of the light sources need to be inclined following with the DMD, nor is additional relay lens needed in imaging.04-15-2010
