| 20090277716 | CONSTRAINED LAYER, COMPOSITE, ACOUSTIC DAMPING MATERIAL - A constrained layer, composite structure for damping acoustic vibrations includes an extensional layer comprised of a first polymeric material, and a constraining layer of a second polymeric material. The modulus of elasticity of the constraining layer is greater than that of the extensional layer. In use, the structure is disposed on the surface of an article in which acoustic vibrations are to be damped so that the extension layer overlies the surface. Also disclosed are methods for preparing the structure, including automated methods. | 11-12-2009 |

| 20120041490 | VARIABLE OFFSET SPINE FIXATION SYSTEM AND METHOD - A minimally invasive system and method for coupling a spinal rod to a plurality of bone anchors implanted into a plurality of vertebral bodies. A plurality of bottom-loading polyaxial anchor seat assemblies having different vertical heights are chosen to pop over the heads of the implanted bone anchors and a spinal rod is more easily introduced and secured to the bone anchors. The variety of different heights that characterize the plurality of polyaxial anchor seat assemblies allows a surgeon to intraoperatively choose the appropriate offset for a particular spinal level during spinal corrections. | 02-16-2012 |

| 20120043449 | CLAMP ASSEMBLY - A clamp assembly comprising two brackets. Each bracket may include an elongated end, a curved section adjacent the elongated end, a channel formed by the curved section, and a mating surface adjacent the channel. When the mating surfaces of each bracket are in mating contact with each other, the channels of each bracket are substantially aligned with each other to form a shaft aperture. The brackets may be fitted together via a tongue and groove configuration and are coupled by way of mechanical fasteners at connection points on each bracket. Each bracket may comprise a coupling area that is configured to engage a mechanical fastener. The clamp assembly mounts to a shaft comprising a plurality of notched segments, wherein each notched segment has a cross-sectional shape that is substantially similar to the shaft aperture cross-sectional shape. The shape of the shaft aperture and the cross-sectional shape of the shaft may be a rounded rectangle, so that the mounted clamp assembly will not rotate around the shaft when rotational force is applied thereto. The plurality of notched segments may be rotated angularly relative to each other. | 02-23-2012 |
| 20120104770 | REGENERATIVE POWER CHARGING FOR ELECTRICITY GENERATION SYSTEMS - An electricity generation system includes a generator, which comprises a rotor and a stator. Rotation of the rotor relative to the stator causes the generator to generate electricity. The rotational speed of the rotor is proportional to the power of the generated electricity. An excess power monitor is provided for determining when the power of the electricity generated by the generator exceeds a power demand. An energy regenerator is coupled to the excess power monitor. The excess power monitor diverts excess power to the energy regenerator when the power of the electricity generated by the generator exceeds the power demand. The energy regenerator converts the excess power into potential energy. The potential energy is stored in an energy storage coupled to the energy regenerator. The energy regenerator may be an air compressor and the energy storage may be one or more compressed air canister. Alternatively the energy regenerator may be a battery charger and the energy storage may be one or more battery. One or more additional flywheel may be coupled to the rotor of the generator to increase the rotational momentum (kinetic energy) of the rotor. | 05-03-2012 |

| 20110094589 | METHOD OF CONTROLLING SOLENOID VALVE - A method of solenoid valve control includes measuring voltage across the solenoid valve and current through the solenoid valve, and using the results to aid in controlling the solenoid valve. For instance, one or both of the measured values may be used to determine when actual engagement of the solenoid valve occurs. An initial lower voltage and lower current can be used, and then as conditions change, the changes in condition can be accounted for by increasing voltage and current to maintain the desired response time of the solenoid valve. By measuring and controlling voltage and current less of a margin can be used, both in setting voltage/current levels and in selecting the time over which a pull voltage/current is utilized. This reduces the wasted energy in the system, as well as reducing the temperature rise in the solenoid valve. | 04-28-2011 |

| 20080290099 | Colorant Container - A container suitable for holding a fluid includes a body defining an interior volume and having a torso portion having a substantially square-shaped cross section, a shoulder portion joined above the torso portion and including a plurality of shoulder walls that define a substantially square cross-section, and a base portion, which may have a substantially square or octagonal cross section. The container body may be formed with indentations at each of its four bottom corners that are shaped to give the container relief from detrimental piercing contact with the lugs that are provided in the bottom of some square retention buckets used on commercial paint shakers. The body may be made substantially or entirely of polyethylene terephthalate. The container is particularly suited for colorants and pigment dispersions for tinting coatings and for shaking colorants and pigment dispersions prior to dispensing into a tinting machine. | 11-27-2008 |

| 20120042741 | MECHANICAL ACTUATOR - A mechanical actuator for translating rotational motion to linear motion. The actuator includes a motor, a screw assembly, a bearing assembly, and first and second lubrication systems. The screw assembly includes a housing, a threaded screw shaft disposed within the housing, a nut assembly, and an extension tube. The threaded screw shaft is rotatable by the motor. The nut assembly is arranged to move in either direction along a longitudinal axis of the threaded screw shaft when the threaded screw shaft is in rotational motion, thereby moving the extension tube between an extended position and a retracted position. The bearing assembly is arranged to provide support to at least a portion of a length of the threaded screw shaft. A pathway of the first lubrication system is remote and isolated from a pathway of the second lubrication system. | 02-23-2012 |
