| 20110289443 | Behavioral Training and Development - Behavioral changes may be generated by providing tools that allow a user to 1) gain awareness of the alignment and misalignment between beliefs, intentions, promises or actions; 2) identify actions to take to restore alignment and create value-added change; 3) define and structure practice to build skills in the above and 4) track progress in achieving resolution of underlying issues and problems. Such tools may include visualizations of a user's progress toward a particular behavioral change goal and a user's relationship status and relationship quality with other individuals. Additionally, a tool may be provided to provoke the user into evaluating his or her own traits, thoughts and thought processes. The behavioral training may be performed at an individual level as well as for organizations or other groups of individuals. In one example, a coaching hierarchy may be defined that leverages the experiences of more experienced individuals for all less experienced trainees while maintaining manageable training assignments for each coach. | 11-24-2011 |

| 20120136470 | PROCESS FOR IMPROVING THE PRODUCTION OF PHOTOVOLTAIC PRODUCTS - Methods and apparatuses for manufacturing photovoltaic products include an assessment of each product in a production line for suitability, and assigning a grade based either on assessment of the product at that step, comparison to statistical analysis of assessment results of previous products at that step or comparison of previous assessment results of past steps compared to statistical analysis of cumulative assessment results of past products at those steps. Products can be associated into groups for processing as a group based on the grades and downstream equipment can be adjusted based on the grade of the group to bring the group within determined tolerances. | 05-31-2012 |

| 20090171966 | CONTENT DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM AND METHOD - A method and system for the secure distribution of content to authorized persons. A content provider uploads encrypted content to the system and specifies the institutions or individuals to which the content is to be provided and release conditions under which it is to be made available. Encrypted content is made available to a recipient together with a decryption code, if the identity of the recipient can be confirmed through a validation procedure and if the release conditions are met. The release conditions may include a time and date at which the release is to occur. The encrypted content has an associated sample which may be streamed to the recipient so as to permit the recipient to assess whether to download the fill encrypted content or not. In one embodiment, the validation procedure includes biometric validation of the identity of the recipient. | 07-02-2009 |

| 20080289006 | MEDIA FILE DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM AND METHOD - A file distribution method and system for distributing media files to authorized recipients. The method and system exploit the advantages of peer-to-peer file distribution protocols, such as BitTorrent, while maintaining security and control over the file distribution. A server farm containing a plurality of servers is placed behind the security of a distribution system, preventing unauthorized client devices from accessing the media files stored on the server farm. Media files are fragmented and stored on each of the plurality of servers within the server farm. Each server on the server farm features at least one IP address and each server is pre-seeded with a complete copy of the fragmented media file. Fragments are distributed to requesting authorized clients in accordance with a peer-to-peer file distribution protocol. | 11-20-2008 |

| 20120065680 | SUTURE ANCHOR - A bone anchor is described having pre-attached suture material. After insertion, lateral wings can be deployed on the bone anchor to prevent anchor pull-out. The suture may be attached at the tip of the anchor by tying it to a wire hook secured in a cavity in the anchor tip. The anchor may be inserted and deployed using an anchor inserter that is configured to apply an axial force to the anchor, thereby deforming the anchor to form the lateral wings. | 03-15-2012 |

| 20100198258 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ATTACHING SOFT TISSUE TO BONE - Disclosed herein are methods and devices for securing soft tissue to a rigid material such as bone. A bone anchor is described that comprises an anchor body with expandable tines and a spreader that expands the tines into bone. Also disclosed is a bone anchor that comprises a base and a top such that suture material may be attached to apertures in the anchor top or else compressed between surfaces on the base and top to secure the suture to the anchor. Also described is an inserter that can be used to insert the bone anchor into bone and move the spreader relative to the anchor body attach suture material. Also described is an inserter that can be used to insert the bone anchor into bone and move the anchor top relative to the anchor body or anchor base to attach to or clamp suture material there between. Methods are described that allow use of single bone anchor to secure tissue to bone or also to use more than one bone anchor to provide multiple lengths of suture material to compress a large area of soft tissue against bone. | 08-05-2010 |
| 20110112550 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SECURING TISSUE TO BONE - Disclosed herein are methods and devices for securing soft tissue to a rigid material such as bone. A tissue capture anchor is described that comprises an anchor body and a spreader such that tissue may be captured or compressed between outside surfaces on the anchor and spreader and inside surfaces of a bone hole to secure the tissue within the hole. A bone anchor is described that comprises an anchor body with expandable tines and a spreader that expands the tines into bone. The spreader captures tissue via a suture loop at the distal end of the bone anchor. Also described is an inserter that can be used to insert the anchor into bone and move the spreader within the anchor to expand the anchor and capture the tissue between the anchor and the bone. Methods are described that allow use of single bone anchor to secure tissue to bone or also to use more than one bone anchor to provide multiple lengths of suture material to compress a large area of soft tissue against bone. | 05-12-2011 |

| 20100126202 | ICE BIN STORAGE WINDOW - A refrigerator includes a refrigerator housing, a fresh food compartment disposed within the refrigerator housing, a door for providing access to the fresh food compartment, and an ice bin at the door, the ice bin having a window for viewing an ice level within the ice bin. An ice storage bin includes an ice storage bin body having an insulated front, a back, a bottom, opposite sides, and an open top, and a first window pane and a second window pane positioned at the front of the ice storage bin to allow for viewing the ice level within the ice storage bin. There may be an air gap between the first window pane and the second window pane. | 05-27-2010 |
| 20110302950 | ICE MAKER AND ICE STORAGE COMPARTMENT AIR FLOW SYSTEM - A refrigerator has an air duct that brings a supply of chilled air to an air flow pathway that leads to an ice maker. A low profile impeller within the pathway forces the chilled air toward the ice maker. A curved vane guides the flow of air towards the ice maker. An impinger with a plurality of nozzles focuses the air flow from the impeller onto the ice maker. | 12-15-2011 |

| 20090260813 | Method for Terminating or Reducing Water Flow in a Subterranean Formation - This invention relates to a method of reducing the deleterious effects of water production in a subterranean formation by placing an aqueous phase polymer and/or resin, which at a designated set up time, solidifies and blocks water conduits. This invention pertains specifically to a method of conditioning well bores and placing the polymer and displacing the polymer and/or resin to establish post treatment gas and oil permeability. Novel polymers and/or resins for use as a water barrier are disclosed, typified by phenoformaldehyde containing 1-2 weight % of at least one of sodium bisulphite, sodium metabisulphite or mixtures thereof. The method includes selecting a well having sizable hydrocarbon reserves with a production history of decrease of oil or gas production with concurrent increase of water production. | 10-22-2009 |
