20160063974 | Instrument Case - An instrument case for violins and violas provides an accessory-receiving region next to an instrument-receiving region in order to allow a shoulder rest to remain connected to the instrument when placed in the case. The case is formed by a bottom shell and a top shell, with the bottom shell being defined by a lateral surface. The instrument-receiving region, interior to the bottom shell, is delineated by a rim, an upper interior wall, and an elevated surface. The accessory-receiving region, just below the instrument-receiving region, is delineated by the elevated surface, lower interior wall, and the floor. The instrument-receiving region can be divided into a neck portion and a body portion, with the accessory-receiving region being positioned directly below the body portion. As a result, accessories such as shoulder rests can remain attached to violins when placed into the present invention. | 03-03-2016 |

20110040045 | REVERSIBLE DERIVATIZATION OF POLY (ARYL ETHER KETONES) - The embodiments of the present disclosure present systems and methods for the reversible solubilization of (aryl ether ketones) (PAEKs). A thioacetalization process is employed to modify the PAEKs into poly (aryl ether thioacetals) which, unlike PAEKs, are substantially soluble in common solvents. This modification allowing selected analysis techniques to be more easily performed on PAEKs1 such as gel permeation chromatography. The thioacetalization may be reversed through a deprotection reaction to recover the original PAEK without substantial degradation, allowing for non-destructive characterization of the PAEK. Advantageously, the thioacetalization process is generally applicable to a broad range of PAEKs, unlike presently known methods of solubilizing PAEKs. Solubilization of PAEKs further expands the utility of the PAEKs, opening up additional routes to chemical modification of PAEKs, as well as allowing for the possibility of processing PAEKs from solution. | 02-17-2011 |

20110170959 | TRIPLE-PRONGED GROUND IMPROVEMENT TOOL AND DEPLOYMENT ARRAY - A method is given which it is believed will lead to better ground treatment results for both engineering and environmental purposes. The novel advancement over conventional equipment and machines (called pokers) suggested herein is that rather than simply deploying a single ground improvement poker at a time, a triangular array of three pokers, deployed from a single mobile carrier, be activated in the ground together and simultaneously at a particular location. Considerable synergetic advantages are anticipated not only by the mutual interaction of multiple machines in close proximity, but also by the ability to excite the three individual pokers at different frequencies and/or phase relationships with respect to their partners. In the special case of the equipment previously disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 6,554,543 further enhancements in ground improvements are anticipated by assiduously selecting the pressures at which water or fluids are pumped into or out of the three individual prongs of the composite array of cooperating hydrodynamically assisted vibrators. A deployment pattern devised for this particular triple-pronged tool is given which will allow full and efficient contiguous coverage of any area requiring treatment. | 07-14-2011 |

20090260315 | PRE-LOADING OF BUILDING SITES OVER COMPRESSIBLE STRATA - A method and associated apparatus are given for a better approach to the pre-loading technique currently used to improving otherwise unsatisfactory ground conditions so that a site may be used to support an engineered structure or building. The method allows for pre-loading of a site to proceed where there are preexisting buildings on adjoining properties without causing damage to, or interference with, those properties while at the same time allowing full utilization of the building area. This involves using sections of sheet piling to isolate and contain ground movements in the subject site from having any influence on adjacent land, thus preventing damage to neighboring property. Apparatus to effectively support minimal lengths of sheet piling by means of a novel adjustable anchoring system is given. Apparatus for a novel monitoring system to provide comprehensive data on the progress of ground improvement is also given. Both pieces of apparatus are fully recoverable upon completion of pre-loading and are then reusable for similar future work. | 10-22-2009 |
20090283434 | ESTABLISHING THE INTEGRITY OF CONTAINER CONTENTS - A method and associated apparatus are given for a novel way to overcome the difficulty of achieving absolutely certainty that the contents of a cargo container have not been accessed between the time it is packed and sealed at its point of origin and the time it is reopened at its destination. The concept is rather than to try to make the container impregnable, is to make certain that if the integrity of a container is violated, then than fact will be recorded without fail. The method consists of placing the cargo inside a secure enveloping structure, the physical continuity of which cannot be cut, or interrupted however briefly, without authorities being alerted. To achieve this the enveloping structure is made of semiconducting material. Immediately prior to sealing the contents at the point of origin a monitoring device housed inside the envelope is switched on. This device will monitor and record the temperature compensated electrical conductivity of the enveloping structure on a frequent and continual basis for the entire period of transit, the output of which will alert authorities of any interruption of continuity. The semiconductive material from which the secure envelope is made may be rigid and/or transparent. The envelope may be in the shape and size proportions of a typical metal freight container to facilitate its transportation to its destination in one of these common carriers. | 11-19-2009 |
20110185002 | DEFINITION OF UNIVERSAL CONSTANTS BY POSITIVE INTEGERS - A method is given to facilitate discovery of the positive integers which may be the numerator and denominator which form the basis of some universal constants. Solutions are given for both π, the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter, and ε, the base of the natural logarithm. A short computer code is provided as a simple tool for finding the two integers if they exist. It is suggested that reduction of these integers to the one or more primary numbers of which they are composed might be a useful tool in the quest to find a link between the separate physical models of the universe. | 07-28-2011 |
