| 20080246250 | Gauge mount for motorcycle - A gauge mount for a motorcycle with a gauge encasement attached to a triple tree and one or more gauge mount locations attached to the gauge encasement. The gauge mount locations are located on the rearward facing side of the triple tree, facing the seat of the motorcycle. Each gauge mount location is adapted to receive a gauge housing. Each gauge housing connects a gauge to the gauge encasement. The gauges are preferably tilted upward to be more easily viewed by the rider while operating the motorcycle. | 10-09-2008 |

| 20110077783 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DESIGN AND CONTROL OF ENGINEERING SYSTEMS UTILIZING COMPONENT-LEVEL DYNAMIC MATHEMATICAL MODEL - A control system comprises a controller for positioning an actuator in a working fluid flow and a model processor for directing the controller as a function of a model feedback. The model processor comprises an output module, a comparator and an estimator. The output module generates the model feedback as a function of a constraint, a model state and a model input describing fluid parameters measured along the working fluid flow. The comparator generates an error by comparing the model feedback to the model input. The estimator generates the constraint and the model state, such that the error is minimized. | 03-31-2011 |
| 20110230981 | DESIGN AND CONTROL OF ENGINEERING SYSTEMS UTILIZING COMPONENT-LEVEL DYNAMIC MATHEMATICAL MODEL WITH MULTIPLE-INPUT MULTIPLE-OUTPUT ESTIMATOR - A control system comprises an actuator, a control law and a processor. The actuator positions a control surface and the control law controls the actuator. The processor comprises an open loop module, a corrector, a comparator, and an estimator, and generates an output vector to direct the control law. The open loop module generates the output vector as a function of a state vector and an input vector. The corrector generates a corrector vector as a function of the output vector. The comparator generates an error vector by comparing the corrector vector to the input vector. The estimator generates the state vector as a function of the error vector, such that the error vector is minimized. | 09-22-2011 |
| 20110231021 | DESIGN AND CONTROL OF ENGINEERING SYSTEMS UTILIZING COMPONENT-LEVEL DYNAMIC MATHEMATICAL MODEL WITH SINGLE-INPUT SINGLE-OUTPUT ESTIMATOR - A control system comprises an actuator, a control law and a processor. The actuator positions a control surface and the control law controls the actuator. The processor comprises an open loop module, a corrector, a comparator, and an estimator, and generates model output to direct the control law. The open loop module generates the model output as a function of a model state and a model input. The corrector generates a corrector output as a function of the model output. The comparator generates an error by comparing the corrector output to the model input. The estimator generates the model state as a function of the error, such that the error is minimized as a function of single-input, single-output gain matrix. | 09-22-2011 |

| 20090250411 | AGGLOMERATE REMOVAL SYSTEM - An agglomerate removal device for removing agglomerated particles from a solids-containing stream. The agglomerate removal device can comprise an agglomerate capture device and an agglomerate withdrawal device. In one embodiment, the agglomerate removal device can be utilized in a process for desulfurizing gasoline or diesel streams in order to remove at least a portion of the agglomerated sorbent particles exiting the fluidized bed regenerator. | 10-08-2009 |
| 20090266744 | PROCESS FOR PRE-TREATING A DESULFURIZATION SORBENT - A process for presulfiding a plurality of sorbent particles prior to using at least a portion of the particles to at least partially desulfurize a hydrocarbon feed stream. Typically, presulfiding can be carried out in a presulfiding zone under presulfiding conditions. In one embodiment, the process can be carried out in a desulfurization system comprising a fluidized bed reactor and fluidized bed regenerator and can be completed in less than about 36 hours. | 10-29-2009 |

| 20110161894 | FRAGMENTATION POINT AND SIMULATION SITE ADJUSTMENT FOR RESOLUTION ENHANCEMENT TECHNIQUES - A method of performing a resolution enhancement technique such as OPC on an initial layout description involves fragmenting a polygon that represents a feature to be created into a number of edge fragments. One or more of the edge fragments is assigned an initial simulation site at which the image intensity is calculated. Upon calculation of the image intensity, the position and/or number of initial simulation sites is varied. New calculations are made of the image intensity with the revised placement or number of simulation sites in order to calculate an OPC correction for the edge fragment. In other embodiments, fragmentation of a polygon is adjusted based on the image intensities calculated at the simulation sites. In one embodiment, the image intensity gradient vector calculated at the initial simulation sites is used to adjust the simulation sites and/or fragmentation of the polygon. | 06-30-2011 |

| 20110021943 | NEURAL INTERFACE - This invention relates to the neural interface comprising one or more electrode-coupled microchannels. Each electrode-coupled microchannel comprises a microchannel for accommodating regenerating nerve axons; and one or more electrodes exposed to the interior of said microchannel. The one or more electrodes may comprise (i) a stimulation array suitable for generating an extracellular stimulus current which induces an action potential in an axon in the microchannel; and/or (ii) a recording array which detects an extracellular signal in the microchannel indicative of an action potential in an axon in the microchannel. Interfaces as described may be useful in blocking pain, treating misrouted motor nerves; repair or treating nerve injury; or controlling or providing sensation and/or proprioception from a prosthesis. | 01-27-2011 |
