Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110122528DUAL SPINDLE STORAGE DEVICE - An apparatus and associated method are provided whereby first and second spindles operably rotate first and second overlapping storage discs, respectively. First and second data transfer members are operably disposed adjacent storage areas of the respective storage discs. An edge of the first disc moves in a prescribed close spatial separation from a rotating surface of the second spindle so that the second spindle strips windage, generated by the rotation of the first disc, away from the second data transfer member.05-26-2011

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20120090333METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR AN ELECTRICALLY COOLED PITCHER - Embodiments of the present invention relate to an apparatus that includes a thermoelectric cooling unit coupled to a power supply and a removable container configured for holding and dispensing a liquid. The thermoelectric cooling unit includes a heat sink and a thermoelectric cooling plate. The thermoelectric cooling plate includes first and second surfaces spaced apart from each other. The first surface expends thermal energy from the second surface to the heat sink. The container holds and dispenses a liquid. The container includes a thermally conductive portion that is removably positioned on the thermoelectric cooling unit by having frictional contact with the second surface of the thermoelectric cooling plate. The frictional contact is sufficient to result in transfer of thermal energy from the conductive portion of the container on to the second surface of the thermoelectric cooling plate and effectively cool the liquid in the container.04-19-2012

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110128162SYSTEM FOR THE DETECTION AND THE DEPICTION OF OBJECTS IN THE PATH OF MARINE VESSELS - System for detection and depiction of objects in the path of marine vessels and for warning about objects that may constitute a risk to the navigational safety. The system includes a sweeping unit for illumination of objects within the field of view of the system, including a light source which emits a beam within the field of view of the system, an optical sensor and pulse processing unit including optical detectors for monitoring of the beam output power and generation of a start pulse for measurement of distance, for detection/reception of radiant energy reflected from objects, including measurement of distance to the reflecting object(s) based on the time delay between emitted and reflected light, including energy and peak effect of the pulses. The sweeping unit sweeps the beam and the optical detector's instantaneous field of view over the sweep area, by means of first and second sweeping mechanisms, to obtain directional information related to the instantaneous radiation direction relative to the vessel.06-02-2011

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090326168Multiple component feed methods and systems - Multiple components are selected, conveyed, and measured in a polymerization system. A control system adjusts the system variables to the desired values. Portions of the components can be fed to a pre-contactor before introduction into the polymerization reactor. The catalyst component concentrations and residence times are tightly controlled in the pre-contactor to affect product properties. The pre-contactor can be a single or multiple combinations of a CSTR or plug flow pre-contactors.12-31-2009
