| 20090249342 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR TRANSACTION QUEUE ANALYSIS - A method and system for determining a wait time for a transaction queue is disclosed. In the method, video data related to a first transaction queue is received. The video data is processed to determine a number of items presented by a first entity for a transaction in the first transaction queue. A total transaction time is estimated for the first entity based on the number of items presented by the first entity and a transaction time for each of the number of items. A wait time for the first transaction queue is determined based on the estimated total transaction time for the first entity. If the wait time for the first transaction queue is greater than a first threshold, then the availability of a second transaction queue is indicated to a second entity. | 10-01-2009 |

| 20120073971 | SELF-ASSEMBLY OF COATINGS UTILIZING SURFACE CHARGE - An apparatus and method for measuring the isoelectric pH for materials deposited on or otherwise affixed onto and in contact with an electrode surface, and a method for utilizing the isoelectric pH to form nanometer thickness, self-assembled layers on the material, are described. Forming such layers utilizing information obtained about the isoelectric pH values of the substrate and the coating is advantageous since the growth of the coating is self-limiting because once the surface charge has been neutralized there is no longer a driving force for the solid electrolyte coating thickness to increase, and uniform coatings without pinhole defects will be produced because a local driving force for assembly will exist if any bare electrode material is exposed to the solution. The present self-assembly procedure, when combined with electrodeposition, may be used to increase the coating thickness. Self-assembly, with or without additional electrodeposition, allows intimate contact between the anode, electrolyte and cathode which is required for successful application to solid-state batteries, as an example. | 03-29-2012 |

| 20090251099 | Passive over/under voltage control and protection for energy storage devices associated with energy harvesting - Described herein is, for example, a battery or capacitor over voltage (overcharge) and under-voltage protection circuit, that, for example, is adapted to not draw current from the battery or capacitor to be charged unless charge energy is detected and to not charge an energy storage device when an over-charge condition is sensed. The protection circuit may, for example, not be turned on unless an over voltage condition is present. Incoming energy to the system can be shunted to ground via a shunt load of various types including resistive loads and active components such as a zener diode. In some embodiments, no switching of the inbound power is required. Within limits, no regulation of inbound power is needed. When inbound power is sufficient to charge the battery or capacitor, regulation can occur via the applied shunt regulator if overcharge voltage conditions exist. Either type of charge source, voltage or current, can be used to provide charge energy. Combining said battery or capacitor over voltage (overcharge) and under-voltage protection circuit with electronic loads, such as wireless sensors, may lead to autonomously-powered wireless sensor systems. | 10-08-2009 |

The two sheets can then be quickly rolled for easy transport to a job site. | 03-05-2009 |
| 20090057474 | Method of winding sheets with preapplied seam tape - Provided is a method of rolling two single-ply membrane sheets having seam tape applied along one edge, for easy transport. The method comprises placing a first sheet on top of a second sheet, with the seam tape edge of each of said sheets being at the same end. The sheets are placed so that the seam tape of the first sheet does not overlay the seam tape of the other sheet. The two sheets can then be easily and quickly rolled for transport to a job site. | 03-05-2009 |
| 20090104407 | Prefabricated roofing panel composite - A prefabricated roofing panel composite includes a prefabricated cover board having a high-density polymer or predominantly polymer material core layer having a density between 6 lbs/ft | 04-23-2009 |
| 20090145331 | Process for mixing modified bitumen by extrusion - Provided is a method of mixing a modified bitumen composition and feeding one or more polymeric materials to an extruder, together with asphalt fed at more than one location along a length of the extruder. Improved mixing and elimination of asphalt melting in the production of rolled goods and other products is improved. | 06-11-2009 |
| 20090324923 | Proccesses for forming a fiber-reinforced product - A process for forming a reinforced product suitable for use as a roofing material is provided, comprising: (a) providing a composition comprising a matrix material; and (b) extruding the composition with an extruder to form a reinforced product, wherein a plurality of fibers is combined with the matrix material prior to or during the extrusion step. Also provided is a process for forming a reinforced product suitable for use as a roofing material, comprising: (a) forming a first layer comprising a first matrix material; (b) providing a plurality of fibers on the first layer; (c) forming a second layer comprising a second matrix material, above the plurality of fibers; and (d) combining the plurality of fibers with the first matrix material and/or the second matrix material, to form a reinforced product. | 12-31-2009 |
| 20100186454 | COOLING MEMBERS FOR FIBERIZING BUSHINGS AND METHOD - This invention involves apparatus and methods for making fibers by passing a molten material like glass, polymer, etc. through orifices or tips in a fiberizing bushing and then cooling the molten material coming from the tips and newly formed fibers using cooling tubes. The cooling tubes are made from precious metals and various alloys comprising precious metals, nickel and one or more of titanium, chromium, molybdenum, etc. The one or more fins attached to the top surface of a hollow tube to make the cooling tubes contain spaced apart gaps, notches and/or slots extending from the top edge of the fin to prevent warping of the fins and to make the cooling tube more bendable, adjustable during the operation of making fibers from molten material. | 07-29-2010 |
