20080259533POWER DISTRIBUTION UNIT WITH TWO POLE CIRCUIT BREAKER - A power distribution unit includes a two pole circuit breaker having a first pole electrically coupled to an x-phase circuit portion of the power distribution unit and having a second pole electrically coupled to a y-phase circuit portion of the power distribution unit. The two pole circuit breaker is so designed that both of the two poles of the circuit breaker trip simultaneously and open even when an undesired electrical condition exists on the portion of the power distribution unit electrically coupled to only one of the poles.10-23-2008
20100198535POWER DISTRIBUTION UNIT MONITORING NETWORK AND COMPONENTS - A system to monitor power loading in a plurality of power distribution units. The system includes a power monitoring gateway with a port configured to communicate with an internet protocol network using an internet protocol address. The power monitoring gateway is also configured to communicate with the plurality of power distribution units through a communication link that does not use internet protocol addressing. The communication link in some embodiments is a wireless link. In other embodiments, the communication link uses a single pair of wires with the power monitoring gateway and the power distribution units configured in a daisy chain topology.08-05-2010

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100138935Detection of cellular stress - We provide reporter gene constructs incorporating nucleic acid sequences from a promoter region of a gene or set of genes whose expression is modified in response to external or internal changes in the cellular environment such as biochemical stress or toxic conditions. The promoters are operatively linked to nucleic acid sequences chosen on the basis of the ease with which their transcription and/or translation products may be assayed so that the reporter gene constructs can provide a system capable of detecting intracellular conditions. Also described are transfected cell lines including the constructs and transgenic non-human animal models including the constructs.06-03-2010

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100039340RF WAVEFORM MODULATION APPARATUS AND METHOD - The disclosed system, device and method for a signal modulation apparatus generally includes a first signal generator suitably configured to generate a first continuous wave radio frequency (RF) signal, and a second signal generator suitably configured to generate a second continuous wave RF signal. A dual-circular polarized antenna may be adapted to receive the first continuous wave RF signal into a right-hand port and the second continuous wave RF signal into a left-hand port, where the signals are combined into a modulated RF signal in the dual-circular polarized antenna.02-18-2010

20090326570Treated needle holding tube for use in tattooing - The present invention is directed to a device for use in tattooing, and more particularly to one or more hard coated or treated needle holding tubes to be used in tattooing human and/or animal skin. An ordinary tattooing needle holder, also referred to as a tattooing tube, of practically any shape or design, may be improved by treating select surfaces of the tattooing tube that are exposed to tremendous frictional force from an oscillating tattooing needle. The tubes herein disclosed exhibit significantly improved life-span, reduced friction, increased lubricity, and reduced material degradation over traditional tube designs, resulting in cost savings to a commercial tattoo artist and increased safety for recipients of tattoos.12-31-2009

20090024423System and Method for Automated Vehicle Tracking - A system and method for enhancing revenue of vehicle dealerships by increasing both the number of service appointments made by customers at the dealership as well as the number of those appointments which are kept by customers. A computer automated, Internet-based method is provided for supervising the appointment making and the service providing process at vehicle service locations. Service department activity at multiple service locations maintained by a single dealership or by multiple dealerships can be monitored so that material and labor resources can be efficiently allocated and managed between the multiple locations.01-22-2009

20110295980METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING ENHANCED STREAMING CONTENT DELIVERY WITH MULTI-ARCHIVE SUPPORT USING SECURE DOWNLOAD MANAGER AND CONTENT-INDIFFERENT DECODING - A system, apparatuses and methods are provided to download and process data and other content streamed over a wide area network using one or more dynamically fetched, material specific, data handlers (e.g., download assistants). A download assistant fetches a data stream from a remote location and processes the streamed data iteratively using buffers and multi-threaded processes through the decoder (e.g., codec), allowing source material-specific processing of the data as it is streamed from one or more download sources as well as content-indifferent and platform-indifferent decoding. To minimize versioning issues, payload construction for secure delivery is simplified to packing and encrypting a directory tree containing any number of files or other digital media into an archive and, when needed, dividing a payload into multiple files or archives with a descriptor that lists the archives.12-01-2011

20120135821Golf Club Heads Or Other Ball Striking Devices Having Distributed Impact Response - A ball striking device, such as a golf club head, includes a face having a ball striking surface configured for striking a ball and a body connected to the face and extending rearwardly from the face. The body has an impact-influencing structure in the form of a channel positioned on at least one surface of the body. A majority of a force generated by impact with a ball is absorbed by the impact-influencing structure, and a majority of a response force generated by the head upon impact with the ball is generated by the impact-influencing structure. The face may have increased stiffness as compared to existing faces, and may include a stiffening structure to create the increased stiffness, such as a porous or cellular stiffening structure.05-31-2012
