| 20090322849 | USE OF REGISTRATION MARKS AND A LINEAR ARRAY SENSOR FOR IN-SITU RASTER OUTPUT SCANNER SCAN LINE NONLINEARITY DETECTION - A method for detecting, in-situ, a cross-process linearity error in an image printing system that prints on an image bearing surface movable in the process direction is provided. The method includes placing marking material to form of a row of registration marks on the image bearing surface, detecting a position in a cross-process direction of each registration mark in the row using a linear array sensor that extends in the cross-process direction, and determining a correction function with a processor using the positions of the registration marks as detected by the linear array sensor to compensate for an error in the positions in the cross-process direction of the registration marks. The row of registration marks extends in a cross-process direction transverse to the process direction. | 12-31-2009 |

| 20100212253 | Method for capturing, channeling, concentrating and harnessing the dynamic pressure energy of wind, within a structure - A method of capturing, channeling, concentrating and harnessing the dynamic pressure energy of wind, within a structure for the first time, to operate any type, form, size or shape of pressure operable device, including but not limited to, automatic, pressure relief dampers, vents, openings or valves and any applicable electrical power generator. This method includes structures built as single pressure vessels where all of the interior areas can communicate. Single strong vessels will operate at uniform pressures and withstand substantially higher winds and the associated increased dynamic pressure challenges, than structures with interior areas that do not communicate. Further resistance can be accomplished by adding automatic openings at the vessel's outer edge surface that will relieve interior pressure buildups to outdoors, before uncontrolled pressures cause catastrophic structure failure. Previous attempts failed to detect this dynamic pressure energy and mistakenly using automated systems and static pressure theory and sensors. | 08-26-2010 |
| 20110272034 | Method and apparatus to utilize wind energy within a structure - Method and apparatus for utilizing wind energy within a structure with at least one external surface and at least one internal surface within an internal area that has at least one external surface separating said internal area from an outside that employ various channels to operate any wind powered device and/or any machine device connected with this wind powered device. This method and apparatus also includes structures built as single pressure vessels where the internal areas can communicate and operate at uniform pressures to withstand substantially higher wind pressure challenges; than structures with internal areas that do not communicate. Further structure protection to high winds is accomplished by adding pressure relief valves at the vessel's external surface to relieve wind pressures from within the structure. This is the first use of this readily available, free, unlimited, uninterruptable wind pressure energy within structures. | 11-10-2011 |

| 20090175591 | MULTIMEDIA SCHEDULER - A song and ad scheduler supporting clip-based and stream-based scheduling of multimedia items generates several hours of schedule in advance. Having multiple channel capability, the scheduler uses as inputs: the channel, associated playlists, rotation pattern for the channel, and associated programming rules to produce a schedule of multimedia items for the channel. Initially, the scheduler produces a schedule for each channel of predetermined length; then it periodically revisits the channel to add more songs, keeping the schedule to the desired length. Length of the initial playlist is configurable. The scheduler uses a producer-consumer model for distributing work. Producer threads periodically scan the system for work to be done. When a producer thread encounters work to be done, e.g. adding to the schedule of a channel, the producer thread places a work request into a queue. Worker threads consume the work requests by fulfilling the requested work. | 07-09-2009 |
