Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100298483Opacifying pigment particle - An opacifying pigment that includes a pigment particle having an average particle diameter of from 0.005 to 5 microns and an index of refraction of at least 1.8 such as, for example TiO2, at least partially encapsulated in polymer is provided. Also provided are processes for forming the encapsulated pigment particle and compositions including the encapsulated pigment particle.11-25-2010

20090022306Encoding Status Signals in DC Voltage Levels - System and method for encoding status signals in DC voltage levels is provided. The value of a status indicator received on status signals are encoded as a series of pulses, and the voltage level from a power source, such as a power supply or a rechargeable battery, is modulated in accordance with the series of pulses. In an embodiment, the voltage level from the power source is varied between two levels, both of which are acceptable power levels. The drops in the voltage levels represent the value of the status indicator. On the receiving end, the power signal is translated into a logical voltage level and converted to a digital value. The digital value is decoded into the status indicator.01-22-2009

20110181288Trace explosives personnel screening system - A detector system with a portal including a plurality of output ports that direct a plurality of output airstreams in an essentially horizontal direction, and a plurality of intake ports that pull in air. The system also includes at least one concentrator coupled to at least one of the intake ports, and a detector coupled to the concentrator. The horizontally oriented output airstreams and multiple intake ports provide a system that can rapidly screen multiple people for explosives and other substances.07-28-2011

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100032214Composite Enhanced Metallic Drilling Riser System - An offshore composite enhanced metallic drilling riser is equipped to enable preloading of the composite shell and the metallic riser. A riser has steel end connectors and a continuous metallic inner liner, encased in a composite shell. A segmented hyperboloid shaped profile is located near each of the end fittings for preloading of the composite and the metallic riser. In one version, both halves of the hyperboloid shape are capable of axial movement by adjusting jack bolts connected to one of the hyperboloid halves. One of the halves is limited in axial movement while the other half moves axially away from the restricted half, the movement simultaneously generates the composite pre-load and the metallic riser pre-load. The other version uses fluid pressure between mating faces of the segments to push them apart.02-11-2010
20100230856APPARATUS, SYSTEM, AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING A COMPOSITE TUBULAR USING A STIFFENED MANDREL - A stiffened mandrel used in the manufacture of a composite tubular. The mandrel is placed on a filament winding machine and is comprised of an outer and inner shell. A pressure source is connected to the mandrel to exert a tensile force on the outer shell to stiffen the mandrel and thereby prevent sagging and bending of the mandrel. The stiffened mandrel allows for the manufacture of a composite tubular without undesirable flexing, wrinkling, or contamination of the uncured composite.09-16-2010
20110073324Self Sealing Hydraulic Coupler - A hydraulic coupler for providing fluid communication between adjacent members that includes a two way check valve formed from a double headed poppet set in a hollow cylinder with corrugated bellows like walls. Contoured bores are provided in the cylinder ends and the poppet heads are profiled to match the contour of the bores. When the heads are seated in the bores they form a sealing surface to block fluid from flowing through the coupler. Compressively preloading the cylinder before assembly provides a sealing force between the heads and the bores. Axially compressing the cylinder with respect to the poppet unseats the heads from the bores to form a flow path through the coupler.03-31-2011

20110071476SAFETY SYRINGE - A safety syringe adapted consists of an outer casing that supports a conventional hypodermic needle and an inner casing which supports a blunt cannula that is disposed inside the inner lumen of the hypodermic needle. The inner casing is keyed to the outer casing by one or more pins that engage helical tracks formed along the inner surface of the outer casing. Rotation of the inner casing relative to the outer casing advances the inner casing so that the blunt cannula is moved from a retracted position within the needle to an extended position in which the blunt end of the cannula extends beyond the tip of the needle.03-24-2011

20120000878Oval-Neck Bottle - A bottle of one-piece construction includes a body having a shoulder, a neck finish and a neck extending from the shoulder to the neck finish. The shoulder and neck finish each have circular cross sections around respective axes, which preferably are coincident with a central axis of the bottle. A major portion of the neck has an oval cross section around a third axis, which preferably is coincident with the central axis, smoothly blending into the circular cross sections of the shoulder and neck finish. The oval cross section preferably is generally elliptical, having outwardly convex end portions and outwardly convex side portions extending between the end portions. The neck preferably has a substantially uniform wall thickness.01-05-2012

20090002950Multi-layer electrically isolated thermal conduction structure for a circuit board assembly - A thermal conduction structure is integrated into a multi-layer circuit board to thermally couple a power electronic device to a heatsink while electrically isolating the power electronic device from the heatsink. The thermal conduction structure includes a stack of alternatingly insulative and conductive layers, a first set of vertical vias that thermally and electrically join the power electronic device to a first set of conductive layers, and a second set of vertical vias that thermally and electrically join the heatsink to a second set of conductive layers that are interleaved with the first set of conductive layers.01-01-2009

20100130844Thin-Film Micro Electrode Array And Method - A thin-film microelectrode array tailored for long-term, minimally invasive cortical recording or stimulation and method are provided. The microelectrode array includes a flexible element that is movable between a first contracted configuration and a second expanded configuration. An array of contacts is provided on the flexible element. The contacts are engagable with a cortical surface with the flexible element in the expanded configuration. A link operatively connects the array of contacts to a control module. The link is capable of transmitting at least one of cortical recordings and cortical stimulation signals thereon.05-27-2010
