| 20100133374 | PROJECTILE NAVIGATION ENHANCEMENT METHOD - A projectile, such as a missile, rolls during at least a portion of its flight, while retaining its roll reference to enable navigation during the rolling period of flight. The roll reference may be retained by using a sensor, such as magnetometer, to periodically check and correct the roll reference. Alternatively or in addition the missile may alternate roll directions, for example varying roll rate in a substantially sinusoidal function. By rolling the missile inaccuracies in an inertial measurement unit (IMU) of the missile may be ameliorated by being to a large extent canceled out by the changes in orientation of the missile as the missile rolls. This enables use of IMUs with lower accuracy than would otherwise be required to obtain accurate flight. Thus accurate flight may be accomplished with less costly IMUs, without sacrificing the ability to navigate. | 06-03-2010 |

| 20100252563 | ADVANCED TRANSITIONAL CUP - An advanced transitional cup (ATC) for training developing children and developmentally-challenged individuals to drink from a cup. The ATC includes a lid with a small fluid aperture and an electric air valve. A microcontroller located in the base of the ATC converts a user-defined “flow rate” into a PWM voltage signal that successively opens and closes the air valve. A higher flow rate results in a PWM signal that opens the air valve for longer spans of time and closes the air valve for shorter spans of time as compared to a lower flow rate, thereby allowing more air to enter the ATC and fluid to be expressed from the fluid aperture more readily. A touch sensor on the sidewall of the ATC prevents the air valve from being opened, and thus fluid from exiting the fluid aperture, unless a drinker is touching the touch sensor, thereby preventing accidental spills. | 10-07-2010 |

| 20100144233 | Flying toy having gyroscopic and gliding components - Provided are flying devices and methods of manufacturing and launching same, in particular flying toys or other recreational items that are designed to be thrown through the air by a user participating in any one of a variety of throwing (i.e. “catch”) games. In particular, the concept is directed toward a flying disc having rotatably attached non-rotating (a.k.a. “gliding”) portions that are attached to the disc and provide an optical illusion, wherein the user (and, similarly, an observer) does not notice the spinning of the flying disc, but instead sees a flying craft that appears to have no propulsion, yet flies. While the non-rotating portions alter the airflow associated with a typical flying disc, they do not negatively affect the flight characteristics of the disc itself. Indeed, in certain embodiments, the non-rotating portions (e.g., ailerons) have been observed to improve the flight characteristics of typical flying discs. The non-rotating portions (a.k.a. “gliding”) also provide surfaces upon which to place advertising that remains legible during flight. In this manner, the non-rotating portions of the flying device serve both a functional and an aesthetic purpose | 06-10-2010 |
