| 20100005809 | GENERATING ELECTRICITY THROUGH WATER PRESSURE - Methods and systems are provided for the harnessing of energy from pressure differences in bodies of water that include gases, for example hydrogen and oxygen. In one example, hydrogen and oxygen may be produced from water by electrolysis under high pressure. Pressure differences between the atmosphere and the produced gases brought about by the body of water may be then utilized to generate energy (e.g. to create a flow of fluid which may spin a turbine). In this way, energy may be produced in a clean and efficient manner, with useful byproducts that may be further processed. | 01-14-2010 |

| 20090106041 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR THE PREVENTION OF EXTENDED UTILITY THEFT - Systems, methods, and computer program products for identifying utility theft include a property management system operable to receive tenant data associated with a property. A service provider in communication with the property management system receives the tenant data from the property management system via a network such as the Internet, where the tenant data identifies a tenant responsible for payment of a utility service associated with a utility service account. The service provider, which may be a utility, compares the tenant data to utility data to determine if the tenant corresponds to a utility service account. A notification module provides one or more alerts identifying when the tenant fails to correspond to the utility service account. | 04-23-2009 |
| 20090198600 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR THE PREVENTION OF EXTENDED UTILITY THEFT - Notification systems and methods are provided for identifying utility theft for an entity associated with a premise under a Continuous Service Agreement with at least one utility service provider, where utility service is never turned off such that the entity may legally use utility services while a premise is vacant. | 08-06-2009 |

| 20090124718 | POLYURETHANE FOAM - A polyurethane foam is disclosed and described. The polyurethane foam is formed by combining a first component comprising at least one polyol with a second component comprising at least one polyisocyanate. The ratio of the number of isocyanate equivalents in the second component to the number of hydroxyl equivalents in the second component is less than 1.0. The foam exhibits low levels of free diisocyanate monomer, thereby reducing the amount of hazardous, volatile organic compounds. As a result, the foam can be prepared and installed without the need for ventilation equipment, external sources of fresh air, and the like. | 05-14-2009 |
| 20120015103 | POLYURETHANE FOAM - This disclosure describes a method of making a polyurethane foam and a method of reducing NVH expected to be experienced by a substrate using the foam. When the foam is subjected to 95% relative humidity for a period of 7 days at a temperature of about 50° C., the foam absorbs an amount of water that is less than about 30% of the weight of the foam. | 01-19-2012 |

| 20110210262 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR DETECTING HIGH-ENERGY RADIATION - An apparatus for spatially correcting an image frame is disclosed. In some embodiments, the apparatus stores a frame of pixel values and scans a multi-pixel correction window across the frame. Spatial correction is performed on pixels within the window at correction positions during the scan. The spatial correction comprises estimating pixel values at value estimation positions based on one or more pixel values within the window for pixels satisfying a logical condition. The value estimation positions correspond to pixel values which do not fall within the window again during the scan. Further disclosed is an apparatus for detecting high-energy radiation, in which integration circuitry is used for integrating charge responsive to radiation photon interaction events. The circuits are controllable in accordance with an exposure control signal to vary an exposure window duration according to an operating parameter of the apparatus. | 09-01-2011 |

| 20120027151 | INDUCTIVE PLASMA SOURCE AND PLASMA CONTAINMENT - A system and apparatus for controlled fusion in a field reversed configuration (FRC) magnetic topology and conversion of fusion product energies directly to electric power. Preferably, plasma ions are magnetically confined in the FRC while plasma electrons are electrostatically confined in a deep energy well, created by tuning an externally applied magnetic field. In this configuration, ions and electrons may have adequate density and temperature so that upon collisions they are fused together by the nuclear force, thus forming fusion products that emerge in the form of an annular beam. Energy is removed from the fusion product ions as they spiral past electrodes of an inverse cyclotron converter. Advantageously, the fusion fuel plasmas that can be used with the present confinement and energy conversion system include advanced (aneutronic) fuels. | 02-02-2012 |
