20090108224 | VALVE - A valve comprises a housing and at least three ceramic discs in the housing such that at least two fixed ceramic discs are provided and at least one rotatable ceramic disc is provided between the fixed ceramic discs. The ceramic discs comprise through holes such that when the holes are aligned, the valve is open, and turning the rotatable ceramic disc turns the holes to be misaligned in successive ceramic discs, which prevents water flow through the valve. The valve further comprises a handle for rotating a rotatable ceramic disc and the handle comprises a stem extending through the housing, and a curved part, the curved part curving at least partly around the housing along the circumference of the housing. | 04-30-2009 |

20140217718 | In-Line Tie Articles and Methods of Manufacture and Use - A tie article that includes an attachment portion and a bib portion, where the bib portion includes at least one arm segment and at least one closure device (e.g., a retention wire, tin tie, clasp tie, and the like), where the attachment portion and the bib portion are integrally fabricated from a printed sheet having a first surface and a polymeric film adhered to the first surface of the printed sheet such that the closure device(s) is disposed between the first surface of the printed sheet and the polymeric film at the attachment portion. Multiple tie articles may be manufactured with an in-line process. | 08-07-2014 |

20100033255 | PHYSICS PACKAGE DESIGN FOR A COLD ATOM PRIMARY FREQUENCY STANDARD - A physic package for an atomic clock comprising: a block made of optical glass, a glass ceramic material or another suitable material that includes a plurality of faces on its exterior and a plurality of angled borings that serve as a vacuum chamber cavity, light paths and measurement bores; mirrors fixedly attached using a vacuum tight seal to the exterior of the block at certain locations where two light paths intersect; optically clear windows fixedly attached using a vacuum tight seal to the block's exterior over openings of the measurement bores and at one location where two light paths intersect; and fill tubes fixedly attached using a vacuum tight seal to the exterior of the block over the ends of the vacuum chamber cavity. This physics package design makes possible atomic clocks having reduced size and power consumption and capable of maintaining an ultra-high vacuum without active pumping. | 02-11-2010 |

20080271532 | FREQUENCY SHIFTING OF ROTATIONAL HARMONICS IN MEMS DEVICES - Structures and methods for frequency shifting rotational harmonics in MEMS devices are disclosed. An illustrative MEMS device can include a substrate, a sense electrode coupled to the substrate, and a proof mass adjacent to the sense electrode. A number of non-uniformly dispersed holes or openings on the proof mass can be configured to alter the distribution of mass within the proof mass. During operation, the presence of the holes or openings alters the frequency at which the proof mass rotates about a centerline in a rotational mode, reducing the introduction of harmonics into the drive and sense systems. | 11-06-2008 |
20090050517 | VIBRATION ISOLATORS FOR PRINTED WIRING BOARDS - A vibration isolator device for printed wiring boards. An example vibration isolator device includes a solder tab with an elastomeric material that is adhesively attached to a first side of the solder tab. The second side of the solder tab is attached to a printed wiring board. Solder paste is pre-applied to the printed wiring board prior to attachment of the vibration isolator device. The solder tab has a U-shaped cross section. | 02-26-2009 |
20090323055 | CRDS BREWSTER GAS CELL - A toxic gas sensor or device which is a cavity ring-down spectroscopy device having two or more mirror components. Each of the mirror components has two Brewster windows attached to it. The Brewster windows are resistant to toxic gases and together with the respective mirror form a hermetically sealed volume for the mirror surface to protect it from the environment or test gases. The Brewster windows may have a heating mechanism to remove contaminants, condensation, and provide temperature stabilization and other beneficial features. | 12-31-2009 |
