20110175365WIND-DRIVEN ELECTRIC GENERATOR STRUCTURE VIBRATION-DEADENING APPARATUS AND METHODS - The disclosure includes methods and apparatus for deadening the effects of vibrations in wind-driven electric generator supporting structures, and improving the ability of structures supporting wind-driven electric generators to operate in the presence of vibration-creating conditions. One or more various vibration-deadening structural element interconnecting or coupling apparatus can be included in the supporting structure for wind-driven generators for deadening the transmission of vibration between the structural elements to which they are connected.07-21-2011

James M. Hines, Houston, TX US

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110198788Shock wave generation, reflection and dissipation device. - An outer hard-shell casing for a protection device that has airspace between the outer shell and inner shell or surface. This outer shell is designed to generate a shock wave during an impact to the casing. The generated shock wave then reflects off of the inner surface or shell. The reflected shock wave then dissipates along the air channel and out of the exit vents before it can be absorbed into the inner hard shell of the base or other protection device.08-18-2011

Keith H. Hines, El Paso, TX US

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100199647HEAT UREA STRAINER FOR DIESEL ENGINE - A urea strainer includes a mesh for removing impurities from urea passing therethrough and heatable wires to heat the urea as it passes through the mesh. The urea is provided to an emission control system of a diesel engine.08-12-2010

Kevin Troy Hines, Austin, TX US

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100314438Durable, Reusable Routing Envelop - A durable, reusable routing envelope is provided that is environmentally friendly and provides a greatly extended lifetime compared to routing envelopes in current use.12-16-2010

Larry M. Hines, Austin, TX US

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100042976OPTIMIZING APPLICATIONS USING SOURCE CODE PATTERNS AND PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS - Methods, systems, and apparatus, including medium-encoded computer program products, can perform optimizing applications using source code patterns and performance analysis. A computer implemented method includes storing patterns of inefficiently coded statements; identifying source code comprising program statements; comparing the program statements with the patterns to identify program statements that are inefficiently coded; monitoring an execution of a compiled version of the source code to identify program statements that cause performance issues; and comparing the identified program statements that are inefficiently coded with the identified program statements that cause performance issues to determine program statements that are inefficiently coded and cause performance issues.02-18-2010

Leslie D. Hines, Forth Worth, TX US

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100180428Randomized circular grids for low-scatter EM shield - A randomized elliptical grid disposed on a sensor window for electro-magnetic and/or radio-frequency shielding of sensors, and a method of applying same. Grids may be made of electrically conductive or resistive material and may include elliptical or circular shapes. The shapes are in physical contact with each-other and preferably do not contain straight lines to reduce detection artifacts caused by the coating. Grid element shape, size, orientation, and grid pattern density may be randomized or varied across a sensor window.07-22-2010

Tara Hines, Mckinney, TX US

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090249391System and Method of Delivering Event Notifications - A method of delivering event notifications includes receiving data from a network-based calendar system at a notification system. The data indicates that a notification related to a calendar-based event is to be sent to a subscriber. The method also includes receiving presence information related to the subscriber from a presence system. The presence information indicates whether the subscriber is present at one or more of a plurality of subscriber devices. The plurality of subscriber devices includes a set-top box device. Further, the method includes sending an event notification related to the calendar-based event to the set-top box device when the presence information indicates that the subscriber is present at the set-top box device.10-01-2009
20090313657System and Method for Scheduling a Remote Recording - A method for scheduling a remote recording includes receiving a selection by a user of a web interface element associated with an Internet protocol television program to be broadcast by a provider. Additionally, determining that the user does not subscribe to the provider of the Internet protocol television program, providing the user with an ability to subscribe to the provider; and scheduling the television program to record.12-17-2009
20100161377EXPANDING A USER BASE FOR AN INFORMATION EXCHANGE SERVICE - A process for expanding a targeted service includes a subscription expansion application determining the information exchange services that an existing service user (ESU) uses. The application may then access the ESU's various contacts lists and/or address books to develop an initial list of prospective service users (PSUs). The ESU may specify which contact lists the application is authorized to access. The application may then filter the PSUs based on geographic availability of the targeted service. The application may then generate and send invitations to PSUs inviting PSUs to subscribe to the targeted service. The invitations may identify the ESU and may be sent electronically or by mail. The application may monitor new subscription requests attributable to an ESU's invitations. The ESU may be compensated by the service provider based on the number of new service requests. The compensation may include direct monetary compensation and/or reward points in an affinity program.06-24-2010
