| 20100332079 | CONSTANT FORCE CONTROL METHODOLOGY FOR SHOCK ABSORPTION - A Constant Force Control methodology and system utilizing integrated sensors and unique control algorithms to determine required applied force to mitigate shock events in an adaptive energy absorption system, typically comprising of a spring and an adjustable energy absorber or damper element. By utilizing an expected acceleration profile and event duration for an anticipated shock event an acceleration amplitude can be determined from a measure impact velocity. From this and a measured payload mass a system controller can determine the force necessary to be applied by the energy absorber in order to stop the payload over the full desired length of the available energy absorber stroke in order to minimize the forces experienced by the payload. | 12-30-2010 |
| 20110035118 | METHOD OF DETERMINING IMPACT SEVERITY AND ADAPTIVE IMPACT ATTENUATION - An adaptive energy absorption system for a vehicle seat is disclosed, utilizing an adaptive energy absorber or variable profile energy absorber (VPEA) for mitigating occupant injury due to extreme vehicle movement (e.g., during a vehicle shock event), and/or for mitigating vibration experienced by an occupant of the vehicle seat during normal vehicle operating conditions. The adaptive energy absorption system achieves the aforementioned objectives for a wide range of occupant weights and load levels. An alternate configuration of a dual-goal energy absorption system is also disclosed that enables both shock mitigation and vibration isolation. | 02-10-2011 |

| 20110146309 | CHLORINE GAS PRODUCTION - Embodiments of the present disclosure include a process for the production of chlorine gas. For the various embodiments, the process includes compressing a gas mixture of vaporized liquid chlorine and a feed gas containing chlorine to form a compressed gas. Chlorine in the compressed gas is condensed into liquid chlorine. A first portion of the liquid chlorine is vaporized to provide a heat of condensation to condense chlorine from the compressed gas into liquid chlorine. A second portion of the liquid chlorine is vaporized to provide both the vaporized liquid chlorine for the gas mixture and a heat of condensation to cool a tail gas from the process. A chlorine gas product from the vaporized first portion of the liquid chlorine is also produced. | 06-23-2011 |

| 20120018353 | MEAT SORTATION - A system and method for sorting animal protein is provided. The method includes determining a desired characteristic of a cut of meat from an animal portion and associating the desired characteristic with an attribute of the animal portion. The attribute is ascertained and the animal portion is sorted based on the ascertained attribute. Like animal portions are grouped together for further processing as a group. | 01-26-2012 |
