| 20080306799 | Method and system for providing maintenance & management services for long-term capital assets, equipment or fixtures by providing a warranty - A method includes the steps of diagnosing existing conditions of long-term capital assets, equipment or fixtures, providing a performance warranty on the long-term capital assets, etc. The performance warranty is negotiated and signed prior to on-site inspection so as to transfer from owner to a provider the risk of maintaining performance of the long-term capital assets, etc. during a performance warranty term and within a standard or performance. Optionally, the performance warranty includes a condition warranty which guarantees conditions of the long-term capital assets, equipment or fixtures by component at the end of the performance maintenance warranty so as to guarantee the long-term capital assets, equipment or fixtures will operate for another extended period after the performance warranty, without performing by the provider any further maintenance thenafter. | 12-11-2008 |

| 20090268936 | POSITION SENSING APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR ACTIVE HEADWORN DEVICE - An active headworn device that includes a position sensing device used to determine whether the headworn device is in an extended state upon a user's head or in a contracted state off of the user's head. The position sensing device may be coupled with a microcontroller adapted to power up or power down the active headworn device based on a signal from the position sensing device. The position sensing device may various devices such as a Hall-effect device used in combination with a magnet or a LED in combination with a detector. The movement of the headworn device between positions changes the distance between components of the position sensing device such that the device signals the microcontroller to power up or down the active headworn device. The microcontroller may mute a portion of circuitry prior to the powering up or down the active headworn device to prevent undesirable feedback. | 10-29-2009 |

| 20090269765 | Compositions And Methods For Detection Of Small Molecules Using Dyes Derivatized with Analyte Responsive Receptors in a Chemiluminescent Assay - Compositions, methods, and systems for detecting small molecules using chemiluminescent signaling assay technology are provided. One system provided herein comprises a chromophore; an oxalate ester, a peroxide, and a modulating agent, wherein the modulating agent will perturb a chemiluminescent signal generated by an interaction among the chromophore, the oxalate ester, and a peroxide; and the perturbation will occur in response to an analyte. One method provided herein comprises combining a chromophore, an oxalate ester, a peroxide, and a modulating agent, wherein: the modulating agent will perturb a chemiluminescent signal generate by an interaction among the chromophore, the oxalate ester, and a peroxide; and the perturbation will occur in response to an analyte. Another method provides a calorimetric or fluorometric signal response in the presence of an analyte. | 10-29-2009 |
