| 20110081260 | PRESSURE WASHER PUMP AND ENGINE SYSTEM - A pressure washer system includes an internal combustion engine and a water pump. The internal combustion engine includes an engine block forming a chamber and a cover for the chamber. The cover has an area designed to hold a lubricant. Additionally, the engine includes a crankshaft within the chamber. The water pump includes a pumping mechanism, an inlet, an outlet, and a fluid passage. The pumping mechanism is powered by the crankshaft. Water enters the pump through the inlet and exits the pump through the outlet. The fluid passage extends between the inlet and the outlet. A portion of the fluid passage is formed in the cover of the engine. Heat transfers from the lubricant of the engine to the water of the water pump during operation of the pressure washer system. | 04-07-2011 |
| 20110081261 | PRESSURE WASHER PUMP AND ENGINE SYSTEM - A pressure washer system includes an engine block, a water conduit, a water pump, and a spray gun. The engine block is for a horizontally-shafted internal combustion engine, and has a chamber therein. The chamber is designed to contain oil for cooling and lubricating the internal combustion engine. The water conduit has a garden hose connector on an end thereof, and is fastened to the engine block. As such, heat transfers from the engine block to a flow of water passing through the water conduit during operation of the internal combustion engine. The water pump is coupled to the water conduit, where the flow of water is driven by the water pump. The spray gun is coupled to the water pump, where the flow of water exits the pressure washer system via the spray gun. | 04-07-2011 |

| 20090070128 | Community-based community project content creation system and method - A method and system of community-based project content creation are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method includes generating user profiles, associating first user with a first user profile, generating project profiles, each project profile associated with at least one user profile, associating the first user with a first project profile, designating a privilege level associated with a second user profile, and generating as online project collaboration between the first project profile and the second user profile based on the privilege level. The method may also include generating community building activities. The method may also include personalizing the first user profile. The method may further include generating a search associated with the user profiles and/or the project profiles. In addition, the method may include generating a post-publishing activity associated. | 03-12-2009 |
| 20090070426 | CONTENT CONTRIBUTION AND PLACEMENT THROUGH EXTERNAL SOCIAL COMMUNITIES - A method and system for content distribution and placement through external social communities is disclosed. In one embodiment, a method includes building a work of authorship through a collective coordination of authors of the work of authorship in a community environment, providing a portion of content of the work of authorship on an external social community through a feed from the community environment to the external social community, processing a response of a user of the external social community in contributing to the work of authorship, and integrating the response of the user of the external social community in the work of authorship. The method may include providing the feed as of a Real Simple Syndication feed, as an embeddable widget, and/or an activity announcement based on an update of the work of authorship in the community environment. | 03-12-2009 |

| 20090203291 | SYSTEM TO DIRECT MOVEMENT OF A DANCING FIGURE - The present invention provides for an interactive figure with several pivot regions in the ankles, knees and hips. Two drive mechanisms are housed within a base to drive movement of the lower portion of the figure while an additional drive mechanism is included within the torso of the doll to drive movement of the arms and head. Additionally, gear mechanisms are included within the base and the figure to transfer movement from the drive mechanisms to the figure along with various electronics. In response to a user's input or a preprogrammed play routine, the figure will respond with various movement and audio content. | 08-13-2009 |
| 20100068969 | VEHICLE WITH CONTROLLED MOTORIZED MOVEMENTS - A toy vehicle is provided having a wheel base, a chassis, and a cab. The wheel base has pairs of rear wheels. The chassis is attached to the wheel base about a horizontal rotational axis which is capable of raising and lowering the chassis from a first position to a second position. The cab is pivotally attached to the chassis such that the cab is able to remain in a substantially horizontal position when the chassis is moved. The cab further includes a pair of joints that secure arms, which have at the end a wheel. The joint enables the arms to move when the chassis moves. When moving the cab, the vehicle transforms between the first and second positions, where the wheels attached to the arms are able to move with the cab. | 03-18-2010 |
| 20100151767 | FIGURE WITH CONTROLLED MOTORIZED MOVEMENTS - A toy figure with controlled motorized movements is provided having a head, two arms two legs and a tail which are pivotally and/or rotatably attached to a chassis. Mechanisms and electronics are included to move the head, arms, legs and tail in a variety of play patterns and movements. | 06-17-2010 |
| 20110053457 | VEHICLE WITH CONTROLLED MOTORIZED MOVEMENTS - A toy vehicle is provided with front and rear wheelbase mechanisms. Both are movably secured to a chassis, but the front mechanism moves two front segments positioned within two channels on the chassis and the rear mechanism moves a rear segment with a rear axle pivotally secured to a lower portion of the rear segment. The segments include rotatable wheels. There is also provided a motor and a clutch. The clutch is in communication with the front and rear wheelbase mechanisms. The motor when moved in a first direction engages the clutch to direct the front wheelbase mechanism to raise and lower the front segments. The motor when moved in a second direction engages the clutch to direct the rear wheelbase mechanism to raise and lower the rear segment and rear axle. | 03-03-2011 |
