| 20110214235 | PATIENT GURNEY HAVING CONFIGURABLE REGISTRATION CAPABILITIES - A patient support system includes a wheeled gurney having an upper support frame with at least one open side. A front support plate and a rear support plate are attached to the upper support frame, with the rear support plate spaced apart from the front support plate to correspond to the at least one open side. There is a first registration element positioned on the front support plate and a second registration element positioned on the rear support plate. The first and the second registration elements are repeatably moveable between a first registration configuration and a second registration configuration. A method of positioning a patient support on a gurney begins by identifying a registration feature on a surface of a patient support and then identifying a mating registration feature on wheeled patient gurney that corresponds to the registration feature. Next, there is a step of altering the configuration of the mating registration feature to permit the registration feature and the mating registration feature to engage when the patient support is placed on the wheeled patient gurney. The placing step is performed by a robot, for example. Alternatively, the placing step is performed in a radiation treatment room or performed while the patient support is supporting a patient undergoing a radiation therapy. | 09-08-2011 |

| 20090078327 | Combined Pressure, Temperature and Air Vent Device - A venting probe insertion chamber that is attached to a uniquely designed port which combines the attributes of a probe insertion chamber along with the ability to vent to atmosphere gasses that are present in piping system. This invention combines the functions of two existing products in an economically viable product. This inventive design performs all task required without the need for O-rings or sealing elements present on prior art products. Creating a simpler to manufacture and maintain device that allow for a user to obtain accurate readings of temperature and pressure while using a minimal amount of tooling. The user is able to remove the protective cap while using only a single tool to prevent dislodgement of the product from the associated port. Current state of the art can potentially place a user in harm as accidental dislodgement of their product can occur having only a single operator. | 03-26-2009 |
| 20090079138 | Replaceable Valve Shaft Sealing System - An improved replaceable valve shaft sealing system is disclosed that enables the operator to greatly reduce the maintenance needs of valves where rotational movement of a shaft, that is connected to the actual metering apparatus of the valve, actuates the opening or closing of the valve thereby regulating fluid flow. Such valves are subjected to differentiations in pressure, including the suction that occurs during pressure drops, temperature, which directly effects the valve body material and tolerances through thermal expansion, degradation of the sealing members due to presence of chemicals and absence of lubrication and wear due to the constant adjustment of the valve due to environmental variables, Current designs use O-rings to prevent the seepage of fluid into the valve body and though the rotating shaft, but current designs do little to prevent contamination of the lubrication into the fluid flow nor eliminate any of the axial loads that can cause O-rings to fail. Current designs are also not designed to be replaceable in the field with simple removal of the stem without removing the valve from the piping system. | 03-26-2009 |

| 20100030683 | METHOD FOR FINANCING AND DISTRIBUTING MEDIA PROJECTS - This invention is a computer-aided method that allows individuals to finance and speculate via advance purchases on the success of films, and various other media projects. To fund their projects, producers transmit or upload a project offering, consisting of future copies of the project with embedded rights to potentially participate in future revenue streams, to a programmed server and the programmed server accepts bids from consumers in the form of reservations to purchase these future copies. The price of the future copies does not change, only the potential revenue split, as applied to all future copies, resulting in a yield auction. The yield auction stays open until consumers and producers arrive at a mutually acceptable revenue split and all available future copies have been reserved. At that time, a group debit occurs, debiting consumers for their future copies and the funds are made available to the producer to make their project. After the project has been completed, the consumer receives a copy of the project they reserved during the yield auction and begins to receive any additional ad and sales revenues per each copy of the project per the terms that were agreed upon during the yield auction process. | 02-04-2010 |
