20100163080 | Thermal fluid stimulation unit - A reservoir cleaning, treating and/or stimulation system allows the operator to control the speed and pressure of delivery of the treating fluid into the reservoir and remove or dissolve sediment particles settled in the reservoir or the reservoir formation. The system uses a thermal heater capable of heating the treating fluid from ambient temperature to about 400 degrees Fahrenheit. A charge pump mounted on an intake side of the heater forces the treating fluid through the heater, while the treating fluid passes through the tubing of the heater. The heated treating fluid is channeled to a discharge pump on an outlet side of the heater, where the treating fluid is pressurized to a value sufficient to overcome the pressure existing within the reservoir and cause displacement or dissolution of the sediment in the reservoir. A flow meter mounted between the heater and the charge pump regulates the volume of the treating fluid being admitted into the heater. A plurality of sensors and gauges strategically mounted within the system ensure safe operation of the system in the field. The system is mounted on a portable skid that can be delivered to the field and removed upon completion of the cleaning, treating and/or reservoir stimulation operation. | 07-01-2010 |

20110132966 | ALTERNATIVE IGNITION SOURCE SYSTEM FOR AN EXOTHERMIC REACTION MOLD DEVICE - An alternative ignition source system for an exothermic reaction mold device for welding conductors. The system includes a crucible in a block with an open top so that the crucible receives an exothermic weld material. The conductors to be welded exothermically are placed in the weld cavity of the mold. A lid covers the open top wherein the lid has a opening therethrough. An electronic thermal igniter assembly has an ignition component receivable through the opening in the lid so that the exothermic weld material may be ignited either by the electronic thermal igniter assembly or may be ignited by a spark. | 06-09-2011 |
20110132967 | Ignition Source System for an Exothermic Reaction Mold Device - An ignition source system for an exothermic reaction mold device for welding conductors. The system includes a crucible in a block with an open top so that the crucible receives an exothermic weld material. The conductors to be welded exothermically are placed in the weld cavity of the mold. A lid covers the open top wherein the lid has an opening therethrough. An electronic thermal igniter assembly has an ignition component receivable through the opening in the lid so that the exothermic weld material may be ignited by the electronic thermal igniter assembly. The igniter plug rests on top of the lid and the ignition body is retained in a recess within the igniter plug. | 06-09-2011 |

20100041337 | SYSTEM, METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR COMMUNICATING WITH VEHICLE OCCUPANTS - An application for a two-way communication system for communicating with a person who is within a closed vehicle includes a short-range radio transmission to transmit audio to a radio within the vehicle. Communication from the person is done by reflecting a light beam on a window of the vehicle and receiving the light beam, which is modulated by vibration of the window caused by the person's voice. The received light beam is then processed to reproduce the sound of the person's voice. | 02-18-2010 |
20120220236 | System, Method and Apparatus for Communicating With Vehicle Occupants - An application for a two-way communication system for communicating with a person who is within a vehicle includes a short-range radio transmission to transmit audio to a radio within the vehicle. Communication from the person is done by reflecting a light beam on a window of the vehicle and receiving the light beam. The light beam is modulated by vibration of the window caused by the person's voice. The received light beam is then processed to reproduce the sound of the person's voice. | 08-30-2012 |
20130157576 | System, Method and Apparatus for Inter-Vehicle Communication - An application for a two-way communication system for communicating with a person who is within a second vehicle includes a short-range radio transmitter within a first vehicle to transmit audio to a radio within the second vehicle. Communication from the person in the second vehicle to a person in the first vehicle is performed by aiming a light beam from the first vehicle at the second vehicle and receiving reflections of the light beam at the first vehicle. The light beam is modulated by vibration of the second vehicle caused by the person speaking in the second vehicle. The received light beam is then processed to reproduce the sound of the person's voice. | 06-20-2013 |
20130324048 | System, Method and Apparatus for Communication with Occupants of a Vehicle - A vehicle communication system for communicating with a person who is within a vehicle includes a device for hearing audible noises that emanate within the vehicle at locations external to the vehicle without making physical contact with the vehicle. Communication from the person in the vehicle to a person external to the vehicle is performed by aiming a light beam from the vehicle and receiving reflections of the light beam. The light beam is modulated by vibration of the vehicle caused the audible noises from within the vehicle. The received light beam is then processed to reproduce the audible noises so that the audible noises can be heard from a location outside of the vehicle, even when the vehicle is sealed (windows closed, etc.). | 12-05-2013 |

20120271261 | Breast and Body Crease Sweat and Moisture Absorb - A moisture absorbing pad adapted for insertion into creases of the body prone to perspiration is made of a generally planar sheet of moisture absorbing material. The planar sheet is formed into two parts, a first part rolled into a cylinder having two ends which are substantially flattened, and a second part folded back on itself to form a tab, which is substantially teardrop shaped in profile. The material may have anti-microbial or emollient properties. To use the pad, a body crease is opened and the pad inserted near the center of the crease. The crease may then be reformed around the pad. When inundated with moisture, the pad may be extracted by using the tab and flattened ends as handles. | 10-25-2012 |
