| 20100275625 | INTELLIGENT REFRIGERATOR FOR STORING PHARMACEUTICAL PRODUCT CONTAINERS - Intelligent refrigerator system for storing pharmaceutical product containers, such as vials, ampules, syringes, bottles, medication tubes, blister packs and cartons, at the point of dispensing. Embodiments of the invention use product identification technology, such as radio-frequency identification (RFID) tags and readers, to uniquely identify containers as they are added to or removed from the cold storage compartment of the refrigerator, and automatically retrieve from a local or remote database a variety of details associated with the containers and their contents, such as manufacturing data, expiration dates, time out of refrigeration, inventory levels, safety information, usage statistics, known contraindications and warnings, etc. If the details indicate that there is a problem with a particular pharmaceutical (e.g., that it is counterfeit, expired, suspect, spoiled, recalled or almost depleted), then a message or warning is automatically delivered to a human operator via an attached output device, such as a display screen, speaker or printer. Embodiments of the invention may also be configured to monitor and report temperature faults, power failures and other anomalies associated with the refrigerator or cold storage compartment. | 11-04-2010 |

| 20110303216 | SOLAR ENERGY COLLECTION - A solar collector apparatus with Dewar-type evacuated tubes results in the more efficient collection of solar radiation by, for example, maintaining the level of a volatile liquid flowing into the solar collector so that no more than 80% of the volume of an inner cylinder of a collection tube is filled with liquid and a corresponding manifold collects the vapor produced when heat is transferred from the surface of the inner glass cylinder that absorbs solar radiation to the volatile liquid. The aforementioned apparatus may likewise be used to heat a liquid within an absorber tube, the liquid having a volatile and a non-volatile component. As heat is transferred to the liquid, a fraction of the volatile component is converted to vapor, leaving the liquid more concentrated in the non-volatile component. | 12-15-2011 |

| 20110307364 | FINANCING OF TENANT IMPROVEMENTS - Methods for lease financing of tenant improvements. Improvements to a lease space are leased from a special purpose entity to a tenant under an improvements lease distinct from the space lease. The special purpose entity may be a legal entity owned under tax accounting rules by a landlord of the space. Financial statements of the special purpose entity may be consolidated with the financial statements of the landlord. The special purpose entity may be capitalized by: (a) an equity investment by the landlord of at least three percent of the value of the tenant improvements and (b) debt issued by the special purpose entity of at least about eighty percent of the value of the tenant improvements, the debt being non-recourse against the special purpose entity, the landlord and the improvements and being secured by an absolute obligation of the tenant. The special purpose entity owns the improvements lease. Development of the tenant improvements may be financed by the special purpose entity. Rent payments under the improvements lease may have a present value at least equal to a value of the improvements at a time of commencement of the improvements lease. The improvements lease may be structured together with the space lease to support an accounting conclusion that the space lease and improvements lease are to be considered together as a single lease and classified as an operating lease. Rent payments under the improvements lease may be fully tax deductible to the tenant. | 12-15-2011 |

| 20100191432 | Method for braking electrically driven vehicles - A method is disclosed for braking electrically driven vehicles, in particular rail vehicles. In at least one embodiment, the behaviour of the brake system is configured directly as a function of the system state, i.e. the operating conditions of the vehicle, such as for example the laden state of the vehicle, temperature of the engines and in particular of the magnets, as well as redundancy requirements, and therefore permit the fully functioning mechanical brake which is present in vehicles nowadays to be eliminated. The method of at least one embodiment for braking electrically driven vehicles which are equipped with spring-store-based friction brakes and whose motive drive is provided by way of permanently excited synchronous machines whose terminals are connected via switches to devices which generate a braking torque includes an open-loop or closed-loop controller being activated and the controller connecting the brake system of the engines which are present and the spring-store-based friction brakes into the circuit individually and successively as a function of the operating conditions of the vehicle and the required brake values. | 07-29-2010 |
| 20100230216 | Brake device for a rail vehicle - A brake device is disclosed for rail vehicles. In at least one embodiment, the brake device includes an electromagnetic spring pressure brake, the brake force being applied by an elastic force to the part to be braked and a magnetic arrangement being provided for neutralizing the brake force. The magnetic arrangement counteracts the elastic force and consists of a coil arrangement and an armature place that are mobile in relation to each other, the mobile part being connected to the brake element that impinges the part to be braked. The brake device for a rail vehicle according to at least one embodiment of the invention allows a high brake force and short reaction times and is very compact. For this purpose, the mobile part is connected to an axially displaceable plunger which on one end can be impinged upon with the elastic force and which is connected on the other end to the brake element. | 09-16-2010 |

| 20110220116 | Inflation and monitoring assembly for a pressure cuff of an endotracheal tube - An assembly structured to inflate a retaining or pressure cuff associated with an artificial airway tube and concurrently monitor pressure therein. A pump assembly is structured to force fluid flow to the retaining cuff, for inflation, through a pressure chamber within a casing of the assemblies. An indicator member is observable through a casing window and is variably positionable dependent on and indicative of existing pressure within the retaining cuff. Existing pressure within the pressure chamber is substantially equivalent to that within the retaining cuff and is thereby indicative of pressure within the retaining cuff. A junction may be disposed in removable interconnecting relation between the casing and an inflation lumen and be structured to prevent reconnection there between. | 09-15-2011 |
