20100024290 | FUEL USABLE TO CONTROL THE EMISSIONS AND/OR OPACITY OF GAS RELEASED INTO THE ATMOSPHERE - A fossil-fuel-fired system, which includes an emissions-control-agent dispenser, a furnace, an emissions monitor and, optionally, a controller, is disclosed. The emissions-control-agent dispenser provides a prescribed amount of organic-emissions-control agent, such as, for example, an opacity-control agent to the fossil-fuel-fired system. The furnace includes an exhaust communicating with the atmosphere. The emissions monitor is capable of measuring at least one property of the flue-gas communicated through the exhaust to the atmosphere. For example, when an organic-emissions-control agent is an opacity-control agent, the emissions monitor has the capability of at least measuring opacity. When included, the controller communicates with at least the emissions-control-agent dispenser and the emissions monitor. | 02-04-2010 |
20100024693 | FOSSIL-FUEL-FIRED SYSTEM HAVING REDUCED EMISSIONS AND METHOD OF OPERATING THE SAME - A fossil-fuel-fired system, which includes an emissions-control-agent dispenser, a furnace, an emissions monitor and, optionally, a controller, is disclosed. The emissions-control-agent dispenser provides a prescribed amount of organic-emissions-control agent, such as, for example, an opacity-control agent to the fossil-fuel-fired system. The furnace includes an exhaust communicating with the atmosphere. The emissions monitor is capable of measuring at least one property of the flue-gas communicated through the exhaust to the atmosphere. For example, when an organic-emissions-control agent is an opacity-control agent, the emissions monitor has the capability of at least measuring opacity. When included, the controller communicates with at least the emissions-control-agent dispenser and the emissions monitor. | 02-04-2010 |
20100024697 | PREPARATION OF FUEL USABLE IN A FOSSIL-FUEL-FIRED SYSTEM - A fossil-fuel-fired system, which includes an emissions-control-agent dispenser, a furnace, an emissions monitor and, optionally, a controller, is disclosed.

20090096696 | RFID TAG WITH A MODIFIED DIPOLE ANTENNA - In general, the disclosure describes an RFID tag designed such that the tag is both covert and not easily blocked from the interrogation signal by the hand or other body part of a person. In particular, the RFID tag is designed to have a long, narrow aspect that allows placement of the tag in locations on or in a book that are inconspicuous to the casual observer while extending beyond a hand of a person holding the book by the spine on or near a geometry centerline. The RFID tag includes a dipole segment and a loop segment coupled to the dipole segment. The loop segment of the modified dipole antenna provides the antenna with larger signal strength than conventional dipole antennas. Moreover, the conductive loop segment also provides improved impedance matching capabilities to allow the modified dipole antenna to match the impedance of an integrated circuit (IC) chip of the RFID tag. | 04-16-2009 |
20090121880 | APPLICATORS AND APPARATUSES FOR APPLYING RADIO FREQUENCY IDENTIFICATION (RFID) TAGS - Applicators, apparatuses, and methods for applying a radio frequency identification (RFID) tags to items, particularly books and other library items. | 05-14-2009 |
20120068823 | MAGNETOMECHANICAL MARKERS FOR MARKING STATIONARY ASSETS - An article, system and method related to a magnetomechanical marker used to mark stationary assets. Magnetomechanical markers can be arranged in clusters and associated with stationary assets, including assets buried underground. Markers can be associated with an asset by being attached to the asset, arranged in a particular spatial relationship with the asset, or in any other appropriate way. A portable locating device can be used to generate an alternating magnetic field to activate the magnetomechanical marker and thus locate the asset. | 03-22-2012 |
20120233046 | PROVIDING STATIONERY ASSET INFORMATION - A method and system for providing stationary asset information. A method includes receiving a request from a user for information related to stationary assets in a geographic area, collecting information related to stationary assets in the geographic area from at least one entity, converting the information and providing the converted information to the user. A system includes a first computer arranged to support an electronic user interface, wherein a user can request information related to stationary assets in a geographic area through the electronic user interface; and between the second computer and at least one entity. The second computer is arranged to collect information related to stationary assets in the geographic area from the entity. The information may be collected from a plurality of entities and may relate to assets located above or underground. | 09-13-2012 |
20120325359 | FLEXIBLE MAGNETIC CORE ELECTRONIC MARKER - An electronic marker and method of making an electronic marker for marking obscured articles. The marker includes a core made of flexible, and sometimes high permeability magnetic material and a solenoid disposed around the core. A capacitor is electrically coupled with the solenoid, and the marker is tuned to respond to a signal at a characteristic resonant frequency. The marker can attached to a conduit to be buried underground. The marker can further include a radio frequency identification chip. | 12-27-2012 |
