| 20100003386 | SYSTEM, METHOD AND COMPOSITIONS FOR DISPENSING A LIQUID BEVERAGE CONCENTRATE - A beverage system for providing a beverage, methods of making the beverage and the resulting beverage are disclosed herein. The system includes a beverage-forming concentrate and an aroma or aroma-providing component separated from the concentrate; wherein the concentrate and aroma are combinable upon reconstitution for providing the beverage. One method includes delivering a fresh beverage taste to an on-premise beverage at a point of dispensation, by delivering at least one aroma or aroma-providing component in an amount sufficient to enhance the organoleptic properties of a beverage separately from a beverage concentrate prior to when the beverage is dispensed, and mixing the aroma or aroma-providing compound with a liquid and the beverage concentrate or with a mixture of a beverage concentrate and a liquid when the beverage is being dispensed. The resulting beverage may be coffee, tea, carbonation, a juice, milk, or a non-dairy creamer-based component; or a combination thereof, while the aroma or aroma-providing component is coffee aroma, tea aroma, chocolate or cocoa aroma, malt, Maillard reaction flavor, or a combination thereof. | 01-07-2010 |

| 20090135091 | Historic Information Presentation System - An information presentation system and process may create the impression in the mind of a person viewing a real scene that the real scene contains a feature that is not in the real scene at the time the real scene is being viewed by the person. The system may include a display configured to display visual images. The display may have a size that is viewable by a first eye of the person at close range without substantially blocking the view of the second eye of the person. The system may have a hooded magnifier that has an end coupled to the display and another end configured to rest against area around the first eye of the person without substantially blocking the view of the second eye of the person. The hooded magnifier may have an optical lens that is configured to comfortably allow the first eye of the person to focus on the images that are displayed by the display at close range and a hood that substantially blocks ambient light from reaching the first eye of the person when the other end of the magnifier is rested against the area around the first eye. The system may have an information storage system containing one or more images of at least a portion of the real scene with the feature in it. The system may have a processing system configured to read the one or more images from the information storage system and to cause the same to be delivered to the display. | 05-28-2009 |

| 20080304639 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR COMMUNICATING WITH INTERACTIVE SERVICE SYSTEMS - An interaction system is described, which can reside on a cellular phone, a personal data assistant (PDA), a laptop computer, or any general purpose computing device. The interaction system provides a greatly simplified user interface for communication with interactive service systems. The interaction system builds the user interface by interpreting an associated profile that enables a user to access the interactive service system. The entire menu system of the interactive service system is presented to the user in a simple and easy to navigate set of menus, user input prompts and audible outputs of requested user information and confirmations. The interaction system saves time and minimizes user entry errors. The system leverages existing interactive service systems while taking full advantage of computing device features. | 12-11-2008 |
| 20080305815 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ENHANCED COMMUNICATIONS VIA SMALL DATA RATE COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS - A system and method for interacting with an interactive communication system include processing a profile associated with an interactive communication system; generating a user interface based on the processing of the profile to solicit a user response correlating to a response required by the interactive communication system; receiving the user response via the user interface; updating the user interface using the profile based on the user response; and sending a signal to the interactive communication system based on one or more user responses. | 12-11-2008 |

| 20100148012 | AIRCRAFT ENGINE NACELLE WITH TRANSLATING INLET COWL - A nacelle for a turbofan aircraft engine having a fan case with a fan case forward edge includes an inlet inner barrel having an inner barrel forward edge and an inner barrel aft edge. The inner barrel aft edge is configured to be affixed to the fan case forward edge in a stationary position on the engine. The nacelle also includes a translating inlet cowl having an inlet lip with an aft inlet lip edge and an outer skin with rear edge. The translating inlet cowl is configured to be movably attached to one or more stationary portions of the engine such that the inlet cowl is selectively movable between a stowed flight position and an extended service position. | 06-17-2010 |

| 20100289887 | Automated transient image cytometry - A method, system, and instrument for automatically measuring transient activity in cells uses image time sequences to identify transients in cells. Preferably, the transient activity is stimulated or provoked in synchronism with acquisition of the image time sequences. A cell mask is applied to each image of an image time sequence in order to localize the transient activity with respect to each cell. Localization enables cell-by-cell analysis of properties of the transient activity. | 11-18-2010 |

| 20080251534 | APPLIANCE CONTROLLER SYSTEM FEATURING AUTOMATIC BEVERAGE DISPENSER SHUTOFF SYSTEM - An appliance controller is provided featuring one or more modules configured for providing power to an appliance that receives fluid from a fluid supply system, for receiving a fluid supply system signal indicating that the fluid is not being provided to the appliance and for disconnecting the power to the appliance. The one or more modules may take the form of an appliance controller circuit having a first circuit part configured for providing power to an appliance that receives fluid from a fluid supply system; and a second circuit part configured for receiving a fluid supply system signal indicating that the fluid is not being provided to the appliance and disconnecting the power to the appliance. The appliance controller may form part of an appliance controller system having appliances, appliance controllers and the fluid supply system. | 10-16-2008 |
| 20090213515 | Multiple-channel active sensing and switching device - The present invention provides a multichannel active sensing and switching device featuring a multiple sensing and switching module configured to respond to operational conditions of different load types and provide load type sensor signals containing information about the operational conditions of the different load types, and also configured to respond to controller signals for controlling the operation of the different load types in two or more different protection configurations; and a controller module configured to respond to the load type sensor signals and provide the controller signals in order to control the operation of the different load types in the two or more different protection configurations. The controller module may be programmable and configured to provide a default circuit breaker configuration and a device specific configuration using active intelligence (AI). | 08-27-2009 |
