| 20080280245 | PROTECTIVE - ODONTOGENIC DEVICE - A protective odontogenic device is provided as a malleable, cushioning material which is installed proximate the front and back region of at least the front teeth of a patient. The material helps protect against damage to the front teeth of a patient by a surgical armamentarium. The malleable, cushioning material may be contained in a carrier substrate prior to installation against the teeth of a patient. The carrier substrate may be provided in a generally horseshoe shaped form. | 11-13-2008 |

| 20080243120 | Bipolar forceps having monopolar extension - An endoscopic forceps for treating tissue includes a housing having a shaft affixed thereto which has first and second jaw members attached to a distal end thereof. The forceps also includes an actuator for moving jaw members relative to one another from a first position wherein the jaw members are disposed in spaced relation relative to one another to a second position wherein the jaw members cooperate to grasp tissue therebetween. Each of the jaw members is connected to a source of electrosurgical energy such that the jaw members are selectively capable of operating in a bipolar mode which enables the jaw members to conduct bipolar energy through tissue held therebetween to treat tissue. The forceps also includes a monopolar element housed within the first jaw member which is selectively movable from a first position within the first jaw member to a second position distal to the first jaw member. The monopolar element is connected to the source of electrosurgical energy and is selectively activateable independent of the bipolar mode. | 10-02-2008 |

| 20080220210 | MEMBRANES AND ELECTROCHEMICAL CELLS INCORPORATING SUCH MEMBRANES - One aspect of the invention provides an ion-conducting membrane comprising an ion-conducting region and a non-ion-conducting region. The ion-conducting region is formed by a plurality of ion-conducting passageways that extend through the membrane. The passageways are filled with ion-conducting material and may be surrounded by non-ion conducting material. The membrane may comprise a substrate of non-ion-conducting material that is penetrated by openings, each opening providing a corresponding one of the passageways. | 09-11-2008 |

| 20090098784 | Water activated inflator for inflatable device and method of air deployment - A water activated inflator and a method of air deployment of a water activated inflatable device are provided. A gas cylinder opening device for opening a sealing mechanism of a gas cylinder is disposed at least partially within a housing and is movable between a cocked position and a fired position along a first axis having a first orientation relative to the housing. A tension mechanism provides tension acting along the first axis for moving the gas cylinder opening device from the cocked position to the fired position. A plunger is holding the gas cylinder opening mechanism in the cocked position. The plunger is disposed in the housing and movable between a first position and a second position along a second axis having a second different orientation relative to the housing. A water soluble element is holding the plunger in the first position. A first interacting surface of the gas cylinder opening device is disposed at a predetermined angle to the first axis. A second interacting surface of the plunger is in contact with the first interacting surface at the predetermined angle. The angle is determined such that a component along the second axis of a component of the tension acting onto the second interacting surface is within a predetermined range for ensuring structural integrity of the water soluble element in the cocked position and for ensuring movement of the plunger when at least a portion of the water soluble element is dissolved. Using the water activated inflator in a rescue kit is highly beneficial for air rescue operations over a body of water by providing proper timing of the inflation shortly after impact. | 04-16-2009 |

| 20110161318 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ASSIGNING TAGS TO DIGITAL CONTENT - A method and apparatus for assigning topical tags to content on a page stored within a searchable digital document environment is provided. An activity log is created for a document including data indicating search queries resulting in the location of the document by a search engine. Keywords are determined from the activity log, and the document is tagged with a tag associated with the keywords. | 06-30-2011 |

| 20110302163 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CLUSTERING CONTENT ACCORDING TO SIMILARITY - Systems and methods for clustering content according to similarity are provided that identify and group similar content using a set of tags associated with the content. A topic model of a group of content is built, producing a probability distribution of topic membership for the content. Individual items of content are then clustered using a clustering algorithm, and a distance matrix from the probability distribution is built. Based on the distance matrix, individual items of content are labeled as “must-link” or “cannot-link” pairs with the group of content. The topic model is then embedded into successively smaller dimensions using a kernel method, until the clustering is stable with respect to both the behavioral and content domains. | 12-08-2011 |

| 20090251827 | Recording head for reducing side track erasure - The present invention relates to a head having an air bearing surface for confronting the surface of a storage medium. The head includes a first pole that is spaced apart from a second pole. At least one non-magnetic spacer is positioned between the first pole and the second pole such that the first pole is magnetically decoupled from the second pole. In a further aspect, one or both of the first pole and the second pole can be elliptical in shape. | 10-08-2009 |
| 20090262457 | MICROWAVE ASSISTED MAGNETIC RECORDING SYSTEM - A microwave assisted magnetic recording system includes a write pole that generates a write magnetic field, an element that generates a radio frequency assist magnetic field, and a recording medium that moves relative to the write pole. The recording medium is exposed to the radio frequency assist magnetic field before it is exposed to the write magnetic field. One possible element that generates the radio frequency assist magnetic field is an assist wire placed perpendicular to the write pole. Alternatively, the assist wire can be placed parallel to the write pole so that its radio frequency assist magnetic field couples with the write pole, which in turn generates its own coupled radio frequency magnetic field along with the write magnetic field. | 10-22-2009 |
