| 20080298058 | Cove Illumination Module and System - The present invention provides a cove illumination module for use in a plurality of illumination applications wherein a particular type of cove type illumination pattern is desired due to close proximity between the cove illumination module and a to-be-illuminated surface. The cove illumination module comprises a substrate to which a plurality of light-emitting elements is operatively connected. Optionally, the substrate can form a base portion of the cove illumination module. An external housing unit is sealingly mated with the substrate in order to environmentally seal the light-emitting elements. The external housing unit comprises one or more optical elements which can shape the beams of light emitted by the light-emitting elements under operating conditions and generate a desired illumination pattern on a lit surface, thereby providing a cove type illumination pattern. | 12-04-2008 |

| 20080204888 | Optical system for luminaire - An optical system for mixing and redirecting light generated by a light source is provided. The optical system comprises a first reflector operatively disposed relative to the light source, the first reflector configured to receive first light emitted by the light source which propagates along lines of sight therebetween and configured to reflect the first light as second light; a diffuser for scattering light incident thereon, the diffuser and the first reflector configured so that second light is incident upon the diffuser, wherein the incident light is diffused as third light and wherein the third light is directed towards the target surface; a second reflector operatively disposed and aligned relative to the diffuser and the first reflector is configured to direct light towards the target surface, thereby illuminating the target surface. | 08-28-2008 |
| 20090196071 | LIGHTING SYSTEM FOR CREATING AN ILLUMINATED SURFACE - The present invention combines point light sources in combination with a light guide element and light redirecting elements into a system which can emit light across one or more extended surfaces of the light guide and may be designed to be able to emit light uniformly across the extended surfaces. The system comprises one or more light-emitting elements and a light guide in which are defined one or more voids. The light-emitting elements are optically coupled to the light guide by positioning them adjacent to a surface of the light guide, or by positioning them proximal to one or more of the voids. One or more light-emitting elements can be optically coupled to one void such that they emit light into the light guide substantially through that void and not through any other void of the one or more voids. Optically coupled to the light guide are a plurality of light redirecting elements for altering of the propagation of light through the light guide, thereby enabling light to be emitted from the surface of the light guide in a desired pattern, for example in a uniform illumination pattern. | 08-06-2009 |

| 20090132019 | Bifurcate Stent Delivery Catheter - A bifurcate stent delivery catheter is disclosed that includes a proximal shaft and two distal shaft branches having a bifurcated stent mounted thereon, wherein one or more conventional balloon catheters may be advanced within lumens of the bifurcate catheter to deploy the bifurcated stent. Since no balloons are mounted on the bifurcate catheter, the clinician may use any combination of balloon sizes for deploying various portions of the bifurcated stent and thus custom-select appropriate balloon sizes to best treat the bifurcation. Once a conventional balloon catheter is positioned within a distal shaft branch of the bifurcate stent delivery catheter, each of the distal shaft branches of the bifurcate catheter are constructed to split or otherwise expand in a controlled manner upon expansion of the balloon catheter in order to allow the bifurcated stent to be expanded or deployed. | 05-21-2009 |

| 20100130851 | STYLET FOR USE WITH IMAGE GUIDED SYSTEMS - A stylet for an image guided system, which includes a locating device and which is operable for emitting an electromagnetic field for locating the stylet. The stylet includes a flexible elongate member, an electrically conductive member, and a reinforcement member. The reinforcement member is disposed inside the electrically conductive member and is made out of a magnetic material. The reinforcement member reinforces the stylet and provides electrical communication between the conductive member and the locating device such that current induced in the conductive member is transmitted to the locating device via the reinforcement member. | 05-27-2010 |

| 20100260919 | REDUCED FAT CHOCOLATE - The present invention provides a reduced fat chocolate composition comprising erythritol. In one embodiment the chocolate composition is characterised in that it has a total fat content of from 15 wt % to 24.9 wt %. In another embodiment the chocolate composition comprising erythritol is characterised in that it has a total fat content of from 15 wt % to 26 wt % and does not comprise inulin or fructo oligosaccharide (FOS). A process for the preparation of the chocolate composition is provided, said process having processing parameters similar to those for high fat chocolate. | 10-14-2010 |
| 20110014350 | CHOCOLATE COMPOSITION - The present invention provides a chocolate composition comprising erthyritol and one or more ingredients selected from maltodextrin, a high protein ingredient, maltitol and polydextrose. Erythritol may be used in place of some or all of the sucrose normally employed in a chocolate composition and thereby provide a chocolate composition having a reduced sugar and/or calorie content chocolate. A process for the preparation of the chocolate composition is also provided. | 01-20-2011 |

| 20120083906 | ENHANCED OPERATION DIAGNOSTICS - Systems and methods are provided that dynamically render permissive status information on a human-machine interface (HMI) to inform an operator of conditions that are preventing an issued control command from executing. A status display generator deployed on the HMI can be associated with a control action to be initiated in a control program via the HMI. The control action can have one or more programmed conditions or permissives that must be satisfied before the control action can be initiated. Operators wishing to review the states of the various conditions can invoke the status display generator, which reads the conditions and their respective statuses from the control program and generates a permissive summary display listing the conditions together with their respective “ready” or “not ready” states. The permissive summary display provides a convenient reference that allows the operator to quickly assess what actions must be taken to place the system in the appropriate state to execute the desired control action. | 04-05-2012 |
