| 20090323163 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR LASER BEAM POINTING CONTROL - An method and system for laser beam tracking and pointing is based on a conventional position sensing detector (PSD) or quadrant cell but with the use of amplitude-modulated light. A combination of logarithmic automatic gain control, filtering, and synchronous detection offers high angular precision with exceptional dynamic range and sensitivity, while maintaining wide bandwidth. Use of modulated light enables the tracking of multiple beams simultaneously through the use of different modulation frequencies. It also makes the system resistant to interfering light sources such as ambient light. Beam pointing is accomplished by feeding back errors in the measured beam position to a beam steering element, such as a steering mirror. Closed-loop tracking performance is superior to existing methods, especially under conditions of atmospheric scintillation. | 12-31-2009 |
| 20100098426 | Electro-Optical Power Level Controller for Free-Space Optical Communication Links - Systems and methods are described for automatically controlling the received power in an optical fiber connected to a free-space optical communications terminal. The system effectively reduces the dynamic range of the received light, enhancing the performance of the communications channel in the face of wide power swings induced by atmospheric scintillation and beam pointing jitter. | 04-22-2010 |

| 20090217462 | CONSUMER PRODUCT PACKETS WITH ENHANCED PERFORMANCE - The present invention includes a consumer product packet comprising a capsule and a fill composition within the capsule. The capsule has a tack temperature of about 110° F. or higher and substantially dissolves in water within a predetermined time period at a temperature of about 70° F. or lower. In one example, the capsule comprises a film having at least one polymer, at least one plasticizer, and at least one temperature adjusting agent. Dependent on the fill composition, the consumer product packet may be used for any household or personal use. In one example, the fill composition is a detergent concentrate comprises one or more surfactants, one or more humectants, and a coalescing solvent which has hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) value from about 7 to about 9, wherein the ratio of the one or more humectants to the coalescing solvent is more than 1. | 09-03-2009 |
| 20100093595 | LIQUID CLEANING COMPOSITIONS - A cleaning composition according to one embodiment includes a surfactant system comprising a nonionic surfactant in combination with an anionic surfactant; water present in an amount from 0 to about 40 wt % based on a total weight of the cleaning composition; a solvent system comprising a polyalcohol, the solvent system being present in an amount effective to solubilize the surfactant system in the water; and an enzyme present in an amount of less than about 15 wt %; wherein the cleaning composition is in a form of a continuous phase, wherein the cleaning composition is characterized as exhibiting about a constant cleaning efficacy as measured using test procedure ASTM D4265 when the cleaning composition is added to 69 liters of exterior water in amounts ranging from about 9 to about 22 grams of cleaning composition. Methods for pretreating and cleaning laundry and nontextile surfaces are also presented. | 04-15-2010 |

| 20100061926 | HEATING SYSTEMS FOR HYDROGEN STORAGE MATERIALS - Auxiliary heating systems that can supply heat to a hydrogen storage material, which may comprise at least one hydridable material, located inside a hydrogen storage tank have been developed. These auxiliary heating systems involve the catalytic combustion of hydrogen and oxygen in a catalytic heater to produce heat and combustion products. The heat produced from the catalytic combustion may then be transferred, either indirectly or directly, to the hydrogen storage material to stimulate the release of additional desorbable hydrogen that may be stored in the at least one hydrdidable material. | 03-11-2010 |
| 20100075183 | SYSTEM AND METHOD OF DELIVERING HYDROGEN IN A VEHICLE - One exemplary embodiment includes a modular hydrogen storage system including discrete modules constructed and arranged so the hydrogen can be delivered from a discrete module independent of the rest of the system. | 03-25-2010 |
