| 20120279609 | METHOD OF USING A PAINT CUP ASSEMBLY - A method of using a paint cup assembly with a paint sprayer includes filling a paint cup assembly with paint, closing the paint cup assembly, inverting the paint cup assembly, and engaging the paint cup assembly with the paint sprayer. The paint cup assembly includes a spring loaded valve to prevent paint from leaking from the paint cup assembly when the paint cup assembly is inverted. | 11-08-2012 |
| 20120279613 | Paint Cup Assembly Support Structure - A paint cup assembly filling station includes an upper paint cup tray formed with at least one upper hole configured to receive a paint cup assembly, a lower paint cup tray formed with at least one lower hole configured to receive a paint cup assembly, and a housing separating the upper paint cup tray from the lower paint cup tray. | 11-08-2012 |
| 20120279887 | PAINT CUP ASSEMBLY WITH A COLLAPSIBLE LINER - A paint cup assembly for a paint sprayer is disclosed and includes a cap and a paint liner configured to engage cap. The paint liner includes a hollow body having a proximal end and a distal end. The proximal end is closed and the distal end is open. Further, the paint liner comprises a plurality of indicia spaced apart along a length of the paint liner and each of the indicia represent an incremental change in an internal volume of the paint liner. | 11-08-2012 |
| 20120279970 | PAINT CUP ASSEMBLY WITH AN EXTENDED RING - A paint cup assembly for a paint sprayer is disclosed and can include a cap, a paint liner defining a closed proximal end and an open distal end, and a ring configured to fit around the paint liner. The ring can engage the cap and secure the paint liner to the cap. Further, the ring can include an axial extension that can extend toward the proximal end of the paint liner such that the ring can be configured to allow a user to grasp the paint cup assembly without collapsing the paint liner during attachment with a paint sprayer. | 11-08-2012 |
| 20120280062 | MULTI-SEAL PAINT CUP ASSEMBLY - A paint cup assembly for a paint sprayer can include a cap formed with an external rim and a plurality of threads adjacent to the external rim and a paint reservoir configured to engage the cap. The paint reservoir can include a distal end formed with a hub having threads configured to engage the threads on the cap. Moreover, a seal can be disposed between the external rim of the cap and the distal end of the paint reservoir. The seal can be compressed between the external rim of the cap and the distal end of the paint reservoir as the paint reservoir is threaded around the cap. Further, the seal can prevent air infiltration into the paint reservoir as paint is withdrawn from the paint reservoir by a spray gun. | 11-08-2012 |
| 20120280063 | Paint Cup Assembly With an Outlet Valve - A paint cup assembly for a paint sprayer is disclosed and can include a paint reservoir, a cap configured to engage the paint reservoir, and a valve assembly disposed within the cap. The cap can include an outlet and the valve assembly can be operable from a closed configuration in which fluid flow through the outlet is prevented to an open configuration in which fluid flow through the outlet is permitted upon engagement with a paint sprayer. | 11-08-2012 |

| 20090138123 | Robotic CBRNE Automated Deployment, Detection, and Reporting System - A system having a plurality of networked detectors for detecting chemical, biological, or radiological, nuclear, or explosive agents is disclosed. The system includes a plurality of remote units, wherein each remote unit includes a robotic base, a lift, a sensor module, transceiver, navigation system, and power source. The remote units communicate with a base station, which receives data from the remotes and determines, based on the data, if an alarm condition exists. | 05-28-2009 |
| 20090184818 | System and Method for Inter-modal Container Screening - A system and method for screening inter-modal shipping containers for the presence of weapons-of-mass-destruction, such as chemical-warfare agents, biological-warfare agents, radiological materials, nuclear material, or explosives, is disclosed. | 07-23-2009 |
| 20090273471 | Method of Operating a Networked CBRNE Detection System - A CBRNE detection system and method for operating same are disclosed. The method provides a relatively increased Probability of Detection and a relatively decreased Probability of False Alarms for a networked system of detectors. In the illustrative embodiment, a central controller of the system is capable of receiving information from individual CBRNE detectors and of determining whether or not to issue an alarm indicating that a CBRNE event has occurred. Data obtained from individual CBRNE detectors is evaluated based on one or more “sensor alert-to-system alarm” processing modes. The various processing modes specify the requirements that must be satisfied before a system-wide “alarm” is issued. | 11-05-2009 |
| 20100003715 | Biological agent detection and identification system - A sample under test containing non-live and/or live particulates is subject to optical excitation on a single particle-by-particle basis or as a small group of particulates sufficient to induce a subsequent fluorescence emission that is observed for a selected period of time by a sensor, typically a photomultiplier tube. The output of the sensor is representative of the intensity or amplitude of the fluorescence emission while the decrease in that intensity or amplitude with time is representative of the decay rate of the fluorescence emission. Those particulates exhibiting a decay rate “faster” than a threshold decay rate, which is determined empirically for the class of biological agents of interest, are identified as living while those particulates exhibiting decay rate “slower” than a threshold decay rate, which is also determined empirically for the class of biological agents of interest, are identified as a non-live interferant. | 01-07-2010 |
| 20100253527 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DETECTING CHEMICAL, BIOLOGICAL, OR RADIOLOGICAL AGENTS - A method and an apparatus for detecting the release of a chemical, biological, or radiological agent are disclosed. In some embodiments, a microphone is used to continuously monitor sound and acquire acoustic data and a sensor is used to substantially continuously monitor a property that is related to a chemical, biological, or radiological agent. The acoustic data is analyzed for a signature that is distinguishable from background sound. The sensor data is analyzed for an event that is indicative of the release of a chemical, biological, or radiological agent. The acoustic signature, and the time at which it is observed, is used to corroborate the sensor data. | 10-07-2010 |
