| 20100025544 | Aircraft backup control - A method is disclosed for controlling an aircraft when the hydraulic system of the aircraft has been compromised. The method may include resealing at least one gain vector of a digital fly-by-wire, lower-order, full-state feedback control in at least one axis. The gain(s) may then used by a digital control to modulate engine thrust. In this manner, engine thrust modulation may be used for stabilization and control of control-configured aircraft without requiring a substantial change in piloting technique. | 02-04-2010 |

| 20110024558 | Ball wheel for an aircraft - A ball drive assembly for a vertical takeoff and land aircraft of the type having a plurality of supports extending outwardly from a central aircraft body. The ball drive assembly for one of the supports has a ball wheel housing containing a spherical, rigid ball, a drive shaft extending into the ball, a first driver for initiating rotating movement of the ball with respect to the ball wheel housing, and a second driver for initiating swiveling left and right movement of the ball so that it twists laterally of the ball wheel housing. Two motors are connected to the drivers, for operating them to rotate the ball with respect to the ball wheel housing, and effect both straight line movement and turning movement of the assembly. | 02-03-2011 |

| 20090276239 | VALIDATED HEALTHCARE CLEANING AND SANITIZING PRACTICES - A validated healthcare facility cleaning and sanitizing system provides a comprehensive and systematic approach to cleaning and sanitizing practices at a hospital or other healthcare facility. The validated hospital cleaning system identifies hospital vectors of contamination; that is, sources through which hospital acquired infections (HAIs) may be spread. The validated system defines a plurality of modules within a healthcare facility, each having an associated cleaning process map designed to meet the particular cleaning and/or sanitizing needs and challenges faced by that module. Various stages of the cleaning process map include validation points, at which certain parameters designed to ensure proper cleaning and/or sanitizing of the module are verified. | 11-05-2009 |
| 20120024080 | APPARATUS, METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CALIBRATING A LIQUID DISPENSING SYSTEM - An apparatus, method and system providing for calibration and/or control of a liquid dispensing system is disclosed. The hand-held calibration auditing tool includes a flow meter ( | 02-02-2012 |

| 20090157472 | Personalized Retail Information Delivery Systems and Methods - A personalized shopping system can provide for delivery of relevant information that is responsive to the needs and desires of shoppers. Any suitable information can be delivered including, but not limited to, advertisements. By taking one or more preferences or parameters of the shopper into account, the advantages of targeted advertising and/or other information delivery can be achieved with reduced adverse effects on shoppers. To the contrary, the shoppers may benefit from the system, since it is configured to address the needs of the shopper, rather than the needs of only the manufacturer, retailer, advertiser, or other information purveyor. The system can evaluate whether to present information at various opportunities based on the shopper's media preferences. Further, the system may respond to user requests for information. The system may be configured to provide navigational guidance, such as a map through a retail location, for use by a shopper. | 06-18-2009 |

| 20120103528 | APPARATUS FOR CREATING AN ENCASED CABLE SEAM - An apparatus for creating an encased cable seam includes a transportable support frame with a roll of encased cable material supported by a support bar, boom and spindle. Heating units supported by the frame heat the bottom surface of the membrane portion of the encased cable material. The encased cable material released from the roll toward the substrate to create an overlapping seam of the encased cable material on the membrane substrate of a roof deck. The apparatus includes a handle and a roller, whereby the roller presses the encased cable material causing a welded bond as the handle moves the apparatus forward. | 05-03-2012 |

| 20100114372 | METHOD OF CLEANING A SURFACE USING AN AUTOMATIC CLEANING DEVICE - A method of cleaning a surface using an automatic cleaning device may include learning, by an automatic cleaning device, one or more cleaning methods. Each cleaning method may be associated with a code corresponding to a radio frequency identification tag positioned in a vicinity of a surface to be cleaned. The method may also include receiving, by the automatic cleaning device, a target code from a target radio frequency identification tag positioned in a vicinity of a target surface to be cleaned, determining the cleaning method associated with the target code and applying the associated cleaning method to the target surface when the target radio frequency identification tag is detected. | 05-06-2010 |
| 20110108064 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR MOVEMENT OF AN AUTOMAIC CLEANING DEVICE USING VIDEO SIGNAL - A method of cleaning an area using an automatic cleaning device may include receiving, from a video camera, information associated with an edge located on a surface, determining, by an automatic cleaning device, a position of the automatic cleaning device on the surface relative to the edge and using the received information to move the automatic cleaning device from the determined position along a path so that the automatic cleaning device cleans the surface along the path. The path may be substantially parallel to the edge, and the edge may be located a distance from a reference point on the automatic cleaning device during movement of the automatic cleaning device. | 05-12-2011 |
| 20110112714 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR MOVEMENT OF ROBOTIC DEVICE USING VIDEO SIGNAL - A method of navigating an area using a mobile robotic device may include receiving, from a video camera, information associated with an edge located on a surface, determining, by a mobile robotic device, a position of the mobile robotic device on the surface relative to the edge and using the received information to move the mobile robotic device from the determined position along a path. The path may be substantially parallel to the edge, and may be located a distance from a reference point on the mobile robotic device during movement of the mobile robotic device. | 05-12-2011 |
