Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110126647RATE OF TURN SIGNAL GENERATOR WITH DRIFT COMPENSATION - Apparatus for generating a rate of turn signal includes a gyroscopic device arranged to generate the output indicative of the rate of turn in a desire plane relative to a nominal predetermined direction. The rate of turn signal includes a drift error generated by a drift of the actual predetermined direction and the error is corrected by generating a first signal with the gyroscopic device in a first orientation and a second signal with the gyroscopic device in a second orientation inverted relative to the first orientation so that the readings will now be in the opposite direction, comparing the two signals to determine the drift error and using the drift error to correct the output.06-02-2011

20100218437n-fold Hyperbolic Paraboloids and Related Structures - Utilizing the three different hyperbolic paraboloids which divide each of the defining tetrahedra (DT) in half, new geometric objects have been created which have unique stacking and interlocking characteristics and are inherently strong and rigid due to their triangular and hyperbolic paraboloid faces. These geometric objects can be utilized to build aesthetic and utilitarian components such as beams, trusses, packaging foams, toys, repeating cellular structures and others. The n-fold hyperbolic paraboloids are new geometric objects. The “n-” in the title stands for any integer greater than or equal to three. The fourfold hyperbolic paraboloid (FIG. 09-02-2010
20100236184Radial Tetrahedral Modular Structures - The radial tetrahedral structures consist of four spokes radiating outward from a hub at the center of a tetrahedron with each spoke terminating in a connecting node at one of the four vertices of the tetrahedron. Each of the left handed and right handed radial tetrahedral structures (FIGS. 09-23-2010

20090035166TWO-STAGE ROTARY COMPRESSOR - A two-stage rotary compressor having a compression mechanism including a single muffler housing member. The single muffler housing member at least partially defines an intermediate pressure discharge cavity and a discharge pressure discharge cavity. In one exemplary embodiment, the compression mechanism includes a cylinder block having a plurality of vanes positioned within slots formed in an inner cylindrical surface of the cylinder block. The slots are in fluid communication with the discharge pressure discharge cavity and receive discharge pressure working fluid to bias the vanes radially inwardly. In another exemplary embodiment, the cylinder block includes a plurality of passages for the delivery of working fluid to and from the cylinder block.02-05-2009

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090106151Fraud prevention based on risk assessment rule - A system, method, and computer-readable storage medium configured to import fraud prevention rules from an issuer and implement them in real-time at a payment processor. Usually, a card issuing bank either approves or declines financial transaction; however, in embodiments of the present invention, the issuing bank creates fraud prevention rules, and the payment processor implements the created rules. A payment processor apparatus comprises a network interface, and a verification engine. The verification engine includes a transaction driver, and a real time decisioning processor. The network interface is configured to receive a fraud prevention rule from a payment card issuing bank, and to receive a proposed financial transaction from an acquiring bank. The transaction driver receives the fraud prevention rule. The real time decisioning processor compares the proposed financial transaction from the acquirer and the fraud prevention rule to determine whether the proposed financial transaction should be declined.04-23-2009

20100264578Media Sheet Exit Baffle - An apparatus for directing media sheets from a media tray to a feed roller may be coupled to a feeder module. The apparatus includes a support member, a coupler, and a media director. The support member extends across a portion of a media tray width. The coupler extends from the support member and is configured to engage a feeder module to install the support member in a printer. The media director extends from the support member, and is configured to direct a leading edge of a media sheet moving from the media tray towards a feeder nip in the feeder module. The media director is vertically displaced from the support member and the coupler.10-21-2010

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090073957Apparatus and methods for data distribution devices having selectable power supplies - A network apparatus includes an independent power supply providing a first power signal, and a data distribution device which is operably coupled to the independent power supply and a remote data distribution device, where the remote distribution data device exchanges data and provides a second power signal to the data distribution device, and further where the data distribution device selects the first power signal or the second power signal for operational power. A method includes scanning a plurality of sensors, each coupled to a plurality of power inputs, to ascertain if a power signal is present, determining whether a power signal associated with an independent power supply is present at a power input, sourcing power from the independent power supply if the power signal is associated with an independent power supply, and sourcing power from an alternative supply if the power signal is not associated with an independent power supply.03-19-2009
