| 20110077872 | MICROCANTILEVER-BASED GAS SENSOR EMPLOYING TWO SIMULTANEOUS PHYSICAL SENSING MODES - According to one embodiment, a system for detecting and identifying gases includes a piezoresistive microcantilever transducer, wherein dissipation of heat from the piezoresistive microcantilever into one or more gases is measured by changes in an electrical resistance of the piezoresistor, a vibrating microcantilever transducer, wherein shifts are measured in resonant frequency of the vibrating microcantilever due to viscous damping thereof by the one or more gases, and a subsystem for correlating the measured resistance changes and the resonant frequency shifts to the one or more gases. In another embodiment, a method for detecting and identifying one or more gases includes determining dissipation of heat from a microcantilever into one or more gases, and determining shifts in resonant frequency of the microcantilever due to viscous damping thereof by the one or more gases. Other systems, methods, and computer program products are also described according to more embodiments. | 03-31-2011 |

| 20090164359 | SINGLE ACTION BIDDING - Apparatus, systems, and methods may operate to present an item for bidding as part of an electronic auction conducted by a networked computer system, and to present a request for a single action bid by a bidder to simultaneously enter and confirm a single action bid amount for the item. Additional apparatus, system, and methods are disclosed. | 06-25-2009 |
| 20090187485 | METHOD AND SYSTEM OF DISPLAYING INFORMATION RELATED TO ITEMS OFFERED FOR SALE IN A NETWORK-BASED MARKETPLACE - A system for transmitting information related to a network-based marketplace includes identifying information that may be interesting, useful, and entertaining to the users and to the potential users of the network-based marketplace. The identified information may be other than information that is already being displayed in listings by the network-based marketplace. The identified information may be about the sellers, the buyers or other items related to the items offered for sale | 07-23-2009 |

| 20080210150 | VENTILATED AFT SWEPT FLOW INTERRUPTER HULL - A boat hull has an aft swept ventilated area in at least a part of its bottom planing surface. An aft swept water flow interrupter is positioned to project downwardly from the hull forward of the ventilated area. The aft swept flow interrupter has two generally angularly related legs or sections defining a 30° to 70° included angle, increase lift on the hull, reduces wetted surface area and improves the turning characteristics of the hull. | 09-04-2008 |
| 20090039654 | MARINE WAVE ENERGY CONVERSION SYSTEM - An energy conversion system includes a first mechanical system for converting reciprocating motion to rotary motion, a second system formed of belts and pulleys connected to said first system and driven by said rotary motion to lift a weight in response to said rotary motion from a first position to a second position and allow the weight to return to said first position under the influence of gravity. A rotary electrical is driven by the second system through a transmission means connected to the second system to create electricity only while the weight is returning from its second to its first position. | 02-12-2009 |

| 20110056425 | WATERCRAFT WITH HULL VENTILATION - An engine-powered watercraft includes three parallel hulls, namely a center hull with two or more transverse steps, and two smaller outer hulls or amas on either side of the center hull that are configured to form two vent ducts on either side of the center hull, disposed between the center hull sides and the amas. The amas, steps and vent ducts are disposed along the length of the watercraft and are configured to enable high speed capability and to facilitate pressurization of the vent ducts. The pressurized vent duct maximizes ventilation of the running bottom of the watercraft so as to improve efficiency and to reduce drag thereon. The pressurized vent duct creates an area of lift at the widest, aft-most points of the running bottom, which thereby results in improving the transverse and longitudinal stability of the watercraft and in reducing the trim for better seakeeping. | 03-10-2011 |
