20090327053 | METHOD, SYSTEM, SIGNAL AND PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR MEASURING EDUCATIONAL EFFICIENCY AND EFFECTIVENESS - An application for a method for measuring educational efficiency and effectiveness of a teacher and a group of students includes measuring amounts of effort expended and expense incurred during teaching activities and accumulating the amounts of effort and/or expense into an accumulated effort and/or accumulated expense. The knowledge level is measured before and after the educational activities. The educational efficiency is calculated as the product of the difference in examination scores and the educational goal as given either by the credit-hours ascribed to the course or the course hours in the learning environment divided by the accumulated effort. The educational effectiveness is calculated as a product of the difference in examination scores and the educational goal divided by the accumulated cost. | 12-31-2009 |

20100118177 | Wireless camera flash trigger device - A flash accessory device readily adaptable to most compact digital camera models provides a hand grip with a mounting base for attachment to the bottom of a compact digital camera. The hand grip contains a multi-mode digital pre-flash detector circuit, a wireless transmitter and a battery power source. An articulating arm extends from the hand grip and is adjustably movable relative to the front of the camera in order to position a sensor on the end of the articulating arm directly in front of the camera's built-in flash. A cup member surrounding the sensor covers the built-in flash to block light emitted by the built-in flash. Light from the built-in flash is detected by the sensor which triggers transmission of a wireless signal from the transmitter to a receiver in a remote flash device to thereby activate illumination of the remote flash in synchronization with activation of the built-in camera flash. | 05-13-2010 |

20150239288 | DRIVE WHEEL ASSEMBLY FOR SELF-PROPELLED IRRIGATION SYSTEM - A drive wheel attachment for a self-propelled irrigation system includes an annular-shaped clamping band assembly having multiple sections that fit around and clamp to existing wheel rims. A plurality of circumferentially spaced, radially extending structures are secured to and extend radially outwardly from the clamping band assembly. A plurality of foot assemblies are attached to the radially extending structures. Each foot assembly includes a first hinge sleeve removably attached to a respective one of the radially extending structures, and a ground engaging foot pad pivotally attached to the first hinge sleeve by a pair of second hinge sleeves and a pivot pin extending through the first and second hinge sleeves. The pivot pin is fixed to the second hinge sleeves and allows rocking movement of the foot pad relative to the radially extending structure about a pivot axis that extends generally parallel to an axial direction of the wheel rim. | 08-27-2015 |

20140116217 | FLUID DISTRIBUTION COMPONENTS OF HIGH-PRESSURE FLUID JET SYSTEMS - High-pressure fluid jet systems are provided which include a pump to selectively provide a source of high-pressure fluid, a cutting head assembly configured to receive the high-pressure fluid and generate a high-pressure fluid jet for processing workpieces or work surfaces, and a fluid distribution system in fluid communication with the pump and the cutting head assembly to route the high-pressure fluid from the pump to the cutting head assembly. The pump, the cutting head assembly and/or the fluid distribution system include at least one fluid distribution component having a unitary body formed from an additive manufacturing or casting process with an internal passage having at least a curvilinear portion to efficiently route matter through the fluid jet system. Example fluid distribution components include fittings, valve bodies, cutting head bodies and nozzles of the high-pressure fluid jet systems. | 05-01-2014 |

20100007448 | MEMS relay with a flux path that is decoupled from an electrical path through the switch and a suspension structure that is independent of the core structure and a method of forming the same - A micro-electromechanical (MEMS) relay decouples a flux path from magnetic actuation from the electrical path through the switch to eliminate signal degradations that result from fluctuations in the current around the core and, thereby the flux. In addition, the MEMS relay has a suspension structure that is independent of the core. | 01-14-2010 |
20100295638 | METHOD OF SWITCHING A MAGNETIC MEMS SWITCH - A MEMS magnetic flux switch is fabricated as a ferromagnetic core. The core includes a center cantilever that is fabricated as a free beam that can oscillate at a resonant frequency that is determined by its mechanical and material properties. The center cantilever is moved by impulses applied by an associated motion oscillator, which can be magnetic or electric actuators. | 11-25-2010 |

20130305520 | Batch Manufacturing Meso Devices on flexible substrates - This invention provides a method of fabricating transduction devices on flexible electronics that allows a complete mechatronic system to be incorporated into one system. The method uses the interconnects and pads in flexible electronics substrates to make coils, windings and electrodes for electromagnetic and electrostatic transduction. By building these systems directly into the substrate it is possible to make a complete sensing and actuating system that can be fitted onto machinery that requires power and control. The end result is a flexible, 3-dimensional structure that contains transduction, power, and control interconnections, and is customized for complex mechatronic structures and applications. This gives designers of electromechanical control systems the ability to produce a complete feedback system with sensors, actuators, connectors and electronics; all made out of one component. | 11-21-2013 |

20080245156 | MINIATURE SENSOR - A strain sensing apparatus including a deformable substrate is presented. The deformable substrate is configured to detect a strain of the body that can be coupled to the deformable substrate. Sometimes, the deformable substrate is a flexible substrate having an upper surface and an opposite lower surface. The lower can be coupled to the body. There are sensing elements fabricated within the flexible substrate and proximate to the upper surface to detect properties of the body. The strain sensing apparatus is able to detect different strain modes, such as whether the strain is the result of bending of a body or a uniaxial elongation. Furthermore, the apparatus is small and less fragile than most conventional sensors, making it easy to use. | 10-09-2008 |
20110001396 | COMPACT PRESSURE-SENSING DEVICE - The innovations herein include a compact sensing device that is capable of measuring the conditions (e,g, pressure, temperature) inside a cylinder of an internal combustion engine. Aspects also include a cost-effective method of fabricating the sensing device. An exemplary sensing device includes a substrate, a beam, and piezo-resistive sensing elements. The beam, which is formed on the substrate, is capable of deflecting according to different pressures applied to different beam surfaces. The piezo-resistive sensing elements are coupled to the beam and detect beam deflection. The piezo-resistive sensing elements generate an electrical signal corresponding to the beam deflection. | 01-06-2011 |
