| 20100237853 | CURRENT MEASURING DEVICE - A current sensor is provided for non-invasively measuring electrical current in an electrical conductor. The current sensor includes a housing having a Hall effect device and circuitry for transmitting a signal indicative of the current flowing through the electrical conductor. The current sensor includes a base having a surface for supporting an electrical conductor. A magnetic shielding member is coupled to the surface to shield the Hall effect device from stray or external magnetic fields. A compliant member is coupled to the magnetic shielding member opposite the surface. The compliant member compresses to allow the current sensor to accommodate a large variety of electrical conductor sizes. The compliant member further acts to bias the electrical conductor against the Hall effect device. | 09-23-2010 |

| 20100192864 | Knock-Down Bird Feeder with Interlocking Port - An elongated, tubular bird feeder comprising one or more pairs of interlocking feeder ports, where the feeder ports are of identical constructions, such that each feeder port mates with an identical feeder port. Each port defines an external perch and an external shield that is curved to fit the contour of the tube, a neck which fits tightly into an opening in the tube, and a reduced diameter portion that defines an end face, from which projects two interlocking features: a horizontally-oriented blade member; and a vertically-oriented generally sector-shaped member. When two ports are pushed together into diametrically-opposed side openings in the tube, with end faces located proximate one another, the two sector members will be located adjacent one another to define an essentially semi-circular upper region, and the two blades will be located next to one another to define an essentially horizontal blade member. | 08-05-2010 |

| 20090282678 | Methods of Maintaining Turbine Discs to Avert Critical Bucket Attachment Dovetail Cracks - Methods of to maintaining turbine discs prone to cracks in bucket attachment dovetails are disclosed. In one embodiment, wherein a turbine disc comprises a plurality of bucket attachment dovetail regions, one or more of the bucket attachment dovetail regions comprises a cooling slot, and each cooling slot comprises edges and adjacent surfaces, a method comprises inspecting the one or more of the bucket attachment dovetail regions comprising a cooling slot to confirm that each bucket attachment dovetail region meets predetermined minimum standards. The method further comprises blending the edges of the at least one of the cooling slots. The method further comprises polishing the edges of the at least one of the cooling slots. The method further comprises peening the edges of the at least one of the cooling slots. The method further comprises coating the edges and adjacent surfaces of at least one of the cooling slots. | 11-19-2009 |

| 20080273422 | METHOD FOR CHARACTERIZING SHEAR WAVE FORMATION ANISOTROPY - A method of characterizing shear wave anisotropy in a formation includes obtaining crossed-dipole waveforms from a borehole penetrating the formation over a range of depths and frequencies, determining far-field slowness in a fast-shear and slow-shear direction using a low-frequency portion of the crossed-dipole waveforms, and determining near-wellbore slowness in the fast-shear and slow-shear directions using a high-frequency portion of the crossed-dipole waveforms. The method also includes marking a selected depth of the formation as having intrinsic anisotropy if at the selected depth the far-field slowness in the fast-shear direction is less than the far-field slowness in the slow-shear direction and the near-wellbore slowness in the fast-shear direction is less than the near-wellbore slowness in the slow-shear direction. The selected depth is marked as having stress-induced anisotropy if the far-field slowness in the fast-shear direction is less than the far-field slowness in the slow-shear direction and the near-wellbore slowness in the fast-shear direction is greater than the near-wellbore slowness in the slow-shear direction. | 11-06-2008 |

| 20110123752 | Thermoplastic Shelf Talker Labels - A sheet of printed labels where the facestock and the liner are microperforated around and through the depth of the perimeter of each of the labels provided in the sheet of printed labels. An attachment pattern or feature is provided on one or both of the facestock or shelf area to facilitate attachment of the shelf taker. Combining the microperforations along the perimeter with a connecting smooth full cut portion provides a smooth full cut for ease of removal of the label from the sheet and removal of the facestock from the liner. | 05-26-2011 |
| 20110154699 | Preprinted Roll-On Shrink-On Label - The present invention describes a label comprising a shrinkable film material section with a leading end, a trailing end, an upper edge portion and a lower edge portion, where the upper edge portion and the lower edge portions extend between the leading end and the trailing end of the section, wherein the section is wrapped around an article with the leading end secured to the article with a patterned adhesive, and the adhesive is confined to a narrow region of the leading end such that the trailing end overlaps and is secured to the leading end by the patterned adhesive, and the adhesive is also confined to a narrow region of said trailing edge, allowing the section to encircle the article in an initially unshrunken or first condition such that when a catalyst is subsequently applied to the section, the section shrinks around the article and is thus securely adhered to the article by the adhesive at both the leading end and the trailing end of the film section. The section may be comprised of foamed, cellular, or stabilized film and may also include a liner. | 06-30-2011 |
