20080204454 | System and method for partitioning CAD models of parts into simpler sub-parts for analysis of physical characteristics of the parts - A slicing tool works with a solid modeling system to partition the geometric representation of a three-dimensional part into a series of simpler sub-parts the union of which replicates the original part in a maimer that introduces a minimal number of new surfaces in each sub-part and in total. This approach uses the existing analytic surfaces that define the part geometry to partition the part and selects a partition from a quality metric based on the number of trimmed surfaces of the part being partitioned and the candidate sub-parts. This approach greatly reduces the complexity of any downstream solid modeling applications that perform combinatorial surface operations on the geometric representation of the series of sub-parts to analyze physical characteristics such as radiation, mechanical, optical, thermal, structural or biological of the original part. | 08-28-2008 |

20130213713 | DIRECTIONAL DRILLING SYSTEMS - A directional drilling system for use in drilling a wellbore can include a bit deflection assembly with a bit axis deflection mechanism which applies a deflecting force to a shaft connected to a drill bit. The deflecting force may deflect the shaft, without being reacted between the deflection mechanism and the drill bit. The deflecting force may deflect the shaft between the drill bit and a radial bearing which maintains the shaft centered in the bit deflection assembly. The deflection mechanism may both angularly deflect and laterally displace the bit axis in the deflection mechanism. | 08-22-2013 |

20120295283 | FLUORESCENT MOLECULAR PROBES FOR USE IN ASSAYS THAT MEASURE TEST COMPOUND COMPETITIVE BINDING WITH SAM-UTILIZING PROTEINS - Assay methods may generally comprise forming homogeneous assay mixtures comprising target SAM-utilizing protein, fluorescent detection analyte, and test compound, incubating, and measuring FP or TR-FRET signal emitted in order to determine a measure of test compound-SAM-utilizing protein binding. Assay mixtures comprise a SAM-utilizing protein, and a fluorescent detection analyte that binds with the SAM-utilizing protein in the absence of test compound. Assay mixtures may further comprise a test compound. Assay mixture embodiments may generate FP or TR-FRET signal properties that are a function of the inherent binding interactions of both the test compound and the detection analyte with the SAM-utilizing protein. Fluorescent detection analytes comprise a fluorophore moiety, a covalent linker moiety, and a SAM-utilizing protein ligand moiety and could be utilized in FP or TR-FRET assays to measure test compound binding. | 11-22-2012 |

20130044765 | FIBRE CHANNEL NETWORK EMPLOYING REGISTERED STATE CHANGE NOTIFICATION WITH ENHANCED PAYLOAD - A network of switches that employ Registered State Change Notifications (RSCNs) with enhanced payloads is disclosed. In one embodiment, the network comprises multiple switches coupled together, and multiple node devices each directly-coupled to at least one other switch. Each of the switches preferably provides RSCNs to other switches when a node device state change is detected. One or more of the RSCNs preferably includes a device entry having more than four properties associated with the node device undergoing the state change. The switches receiving the enhanced RSCNs preferably maintain caches of remote node device entries copied from the RSCN device entries. The device entries preferably include one or more of the following: Owner Identifier, Port Type, Port Identifier, Port Name, Node Name, Initial Process Associator, Node IP Address, Class of Service, FC-4 Types, Port IP Address, Fabric Port Name, and Hard Address. Traffic overhead may advantageously be reduced. | 02-21-2013 |

20120147709 | ELECTROMAGNETIC SEISMIC VIBRATOR ARCHITECTURE - Aspects described herein relate to an electromagnetic seismic vibrator (EMSV) architecture that provide wide frequency range operation, ground force application with high fidelity, and low environmental impact. The EMSV architecture can include a base member that can support a force coil and mitigate electrical heating due, at least in part, to spurious currents. The EMSV architecture can include means for restricting movement of a reaction member included in the EMSV architecture relative to the base member. Such means can permit mitigation of damage of the EMSV architecture in scenarios in which control of the EMSV architecture may fail. | 06-14-2012 |
