| 20110095249 | HYDRAULIC CRANE SYSTEM FOR LIFTING A CRANE ON A VEHICLE - A hydraulic crane system for lifting a crane on a vehicle. The system includes a hydraulic motor that is drivingly connected to a hydraulic pump and fluidly connected to a hydraulic line of a vehicle. A crane lifting device is hydraulically actuated by the fluid supplied by the hydraulic pump wherein a remote electronic controller can be utilized to provide a signal in order to depressurize the crane lifting device using an electrically actuated valve. | 04-28-2011 |

| 20110041710 | EGG SPINNER - A centrifugal egg separator that has a plurality of user-selectable discrete rotational speeds for performing a corresponding plurality of egg separation operations. Up to two speeds may correspond to centrifugal egg breaking: one for separating yolk and albumin from shell and chalazae and one for separating yolk, albumin, and chalazae from shell. Up to three speeds may correspond to separating components of broken eggs: one for separating out only albumin, one for separating out the yolk and albumin, and one for separating out the yolk, albumin, and chalazae. May be used with a customized food processor base. Various lid designs are included. | 02-24-2011 |

| 20090201504 | Hydrodynamic focusing for analyzing rectangular microbeads - A microfluidic apparatus having a one-dimensional or two-dimensional hydrodynamic flow system to control stable and proper digitally coded bead orientation through the optical detection area of a bioanalysis system. The hydrodynamic system include one core flow, which carries the rectangular barcode beads, and sheath flows, on the sides of or about or around the outer periphery of the core flow, pull the core flow into a proper orientation. The sheath flows, at much higher flow speed but lower volume flow rate, can be pushed or pulled by vacuum, gravity, or pressure. By this method, the coded bead will align themselves in line and flow reliably, without wobbling or flipping, in the core flow channel through the detection zone. By adjusting the relative flow rate of core flow and sheath flows, the coded beads flow reliably in the flow system, thus it can be decoded and detected by an optical system accurately. | 08-13-2009 |
| 20110007955 | Apparatus and Method for Barcoded Magnetic Beads Analysis - A Light Transmitted Assay Beads or digital magnetic microbead having a digitally coded structure that is partially transmissive and opaque to light. When hundreds or thousands of LITAB are settled down to the bottom of a microwell in a microplate or a planar surface, the barcode can be decoded by image processed accurately and reliable. Microplate is a standard bioassay format; each plate can have 96, 384, or 1536 patient samples. Therefore, a large number of targets in a sample can be analyzed in one single microwell. The image decoding algorithms comprise of four main processes (1) enhancement of image (2) segmentation of beads (3) extraction of barcode slits, and (4) decoding of barcodes. The bead image is taken from the bottom of an optically clear microplate, and barcode pattern can be decoded by image software. Therefore, the whole bead bioassay experiment can be performed in the microplate without taking the beads out. | 01-13-2011 |

| 20100232883 | POLYMER COATED NANOPARTICLE ACTIVATION OF OXIDANTS FOR REMEDIATION AND METHODS OF USE THEREOF - Methods of decreasing the amount of one or more contaminants in contaminated soil comprise introducing polymer-coated nanoparticles into the contaminated soil, optionally with other reagents. The polymer-coated nanoparticles exhibit an enhanced ability to migrate through the soil and provide greater control of the rate of activation of other chemicals, such as oxidants, in the contaminated soil. | 09-16-2010 |

| 20080234144 | Apparatus and method for digital magnetic beads analysis - A micro bead having a digitally coded structure that is partially transmissive and opaque to light. The pattern of transmitted light is determined by to decode the bead. The coded bead may be structured a series of alternating light transmissive and opaque sections, with relative positions, widths and spacing resembling a 1D or 2D bar code image. To decode the image, the alternating transmissive and opaque sections of the body are scanned in analogous fashion to bar code scanning. The coded bead may be coated or immobilized with a capture or probe to effect a desired bioassay. The coded bead may include a paramagnetic material. A bioanalysis system conducts high throughput bioanalysis using the coded bead, including a reaction detection zone and a decoding zone. Alternative method for barcode determination is based on barcode pattern image processes. Microbeads can also be settled down to the bottom of the well in a microplate, so the barcode can be decoded by image processed directly. Therefore, multiple-analyte tests can be performed in one single well. Microplate is a standard format; each plate can have 96, 384, or 1536 patient samples. The bead image is taken with a conventional microscope and optical detector from the bottom of an optically clear microplate, and barcode pattern can be decoded by image software. Therefore, the whole bead experiment can be performed in the microplate without taking the beads out. | 09-25-2008 |

| 20110282235 | SYSTEM FOR MEASURING A USER'S PERCENTAGE OF BODY FAT - A system for measuring percentage of body fat for a user. The system has: structure for measuring body hydration and generating a signal representing a measured hydration value; structure for selectively changing the measured hydration value to an adjusted hydration value based upon a first parameter to thereby reflect more accurately an actual hydration value for the user and generating a signal representing the adjusted hydration value; and structure for measuring body fat percentage using the signal representing: a) the measured hydration value; or b) the adjusted hydration value in the event that the structure for selectively changing the measured hydration value changes the measured hydration value based upon the first parameter. | 11-17-2011 |

| 20120086989 | BROWSER-BASED SCANNING UTILITY - A browser based scanning utility is provided that includes an applet delivery module for delivering an scanning applet to a web browser. A browser based capture application executes the scanning applet using the browser. The browser based capture application initiates a call. A web scanning module receives the call and activates one or more scanners for scanning one or more documents into specific image files. The web scanning module uploads the specific images to a document capture server for storage and maintenance | 04-12-2012 |
