| 20100258105 | EGG-SHAPED OUTDOOR COOKER - A non-ceramic, light-weight egg-shaped outdoor cooker made from formed sheet metal includes a double-walled kettle, with an inner wall spaced and insulated from an outer wall by an insulating layer. A domed lid is constructed similarly to the double-walled kettle and is hinged to the top of the kettle. By spacing the inner wall from the outer wall and providing an insulating layer, heat transfer to the outside of the cooker is greatly slowed. By constructing the structure of sheet metal, instead of ceramic, the cooker is light-weight, rugged, and economical to manufacture. | 10-14-2010 |

| 20090249973 | GUIDEWAY TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM WITH INTEGRATED MAGNETIC LEVITATION SUSPENSION, STABILIZATION AND PROPULSION FUNCTIONS - A networked guideway transit system uses permanent magnet repulsion with induction-based repulsion within the networked guideway transport system, which can levitate passively with motion. Magnetic levitation technology is used to replace wheels as the primary means of vehicle suspension. The networked guideway transit system uses the permanent magnets to provide primary lift and uses electrodynamic repulsion to create centering forces at most operational speeds while integrating linear motor functions with the electrodynamic centering function. Further, the networked guideway transit system uses no moving parts in the guideways, which enhances reliability in the guideways. | 10-08-2009 |

| 20100199876 | GUIDEWAY SWITCH APPARATUS FOR MAGNETICALLY LEVITATED VEHICLES - A switch is used, at the divergent zone, to cause the vehicle bogie to follow one path or the other in the guideway. This is accomplished by substituting an attracting magnetic array on the side that the vehicle bogie is desired to follow. The switch may operate without moving parts, so there is no inertial penalty to limit operational frequency. The switch is designed to fail gracefully in the absence of activation power or control signals. Further, the switch is designed to ensure that there would be no derailment or dropping of a vehicle. | 08-12-2010 |
