20090204345METHOD FOR THE OPTIMIZATION OF STRESS DISTRIBUTION IN ACOUSTIC THERMOGRAPHY APPLICATIONS - In a method for the optimization of stress distribution on an object to be tested for flaws by ultrasound excitation and evaluation based on resulting surface temperature distribution, —a simulation is performed under test conditions on a CAD model of the object prior to a testing an object, —vibrational spectra and modal vibrational forms are calculated, —local mechanical stresses are determined from the vibrational modes, whereby—modes to be excited for the real test are selected from the entirety of the occurring modes such that, —the mechanical stress lies in a selected region above a predetermined minimum stress to enable a reliable proof of defect, —the mechanical stress in all other regions of the inspection part, in particular on easily damaged component structures, is smaller than a predetermined maximum stress by a predetermined factor, in order not to damage the component at weak points.08-13-2009

20100218775SOUND-ATTENUATING EARMUFF HAVING ISOLATED DOUBLE-SHELL STRUCTURE - An earmuff assembly with a double-shell structure is disclosed for use with a sound-attenuating circumaural headset. The earmuff assembly comprises a cup-shaped outer shell mounted on a resilient outer sealing ring and a cup-shaped inner shell mounted on a resilient inner sealing ring. By means of the two sealing rings the outer and the inner shells are brought into abutment with the head surface around an ear of a wearer. Both shells are structurally rigid. The sound attenuation performance is maximized by isolating the inner shell from the outer shell.09-02-2010

20090070213Method, system, and apparatus for providing supplemental content for a social expression product - A digital experience method, system, and apparatus provides greeting cards in a traditional retail store for selection by a card purchaser. The card purchaser selects one or more digital experiences to enhance or complete the thought of the selected card. The selection of a digital experience can occur through the use of a computing device in the retail store or remotely via the Internet. The purchaser scans an identification code or selects a digital representation of the greeting card at the computing device and is presented with digital experiences that are best suited to the selected card. In addition, the card purchaser may view or select from a full-line of digital experiences without scanning or selecting the digital representation of the card. Information relating to the digital experience is included in the card. The card is transmitted to a recipient, and the recipient receives accesses the digital experience based on information provided in the greeting card. The digital experience may be provided to the recipient using a digital delivery device.03-12-2009

20110267038SHUNT SENSOR AND SHUNT SENSOR ASSEMBLY - The present disclosure describes configurations for current shunt sensors and current shunt sensor assemblies having improved electromagnetic cross-talk rejection that can be used in single-phase/split-phase and poly-phase power metering applications. Some embodiments of the current shunt sensors and current shunt sensor assemblies reduce the need for a shielding material around current shunt sensors in single-phase/split-phase and poly-phase power metering applications. Some embodiments of the current shunt sensors achieve improved electromagnetic cross-talk rejection through a substantially symmetrical arrangement of component parts along the primary path of current flow. Some embodiments of the current shunt sensors achieve improved electromagnetic cross-talk rejection by symmetrical configurations that, in operation, induce complementary parasitic currents or voltages that substantially cancel each other out and do not substantially affect primary current flow through the current shunt sensor.11-03-2011
