20130074721 | END OF PRESS MAIL SORTER AND METHOD - A method includes creating a stream of uniquely-addressed mail pieces on a web offset press by printing on sections of a web, separating the sections of the web, and printing unique address information on each section of the press-printed material. The unique address is printed by a variable printer according to a mail file of intended recipients. The stream of uniquely-addressed mail pieces is conveyed in a shingled formation. An on-press conversion of the stream of uniquely-addressed mail pieces into a plurality of batches of stacked mail pieces is performed, each batch containing only mail pieces belonging to a common mail delivery group. The on-press conversion includes controlling via the controller the creation of batch separation points among the mail pieces according to the mail file, conveying the stream of mail pieces in the shingled formation into a stacking device, and stacking the mail pieces with the stacking device. | 03-28-2013 |

20140205396 | FASTENER - A fastener for securing a wheel rim to a wheel hub having a screw connecting element, includes a fastener body and a rotatable upper stage lock element. The fastener body is configured to be screwed to the screw connecting element of the wheel hub and includes a coupling section and a flange section located at one end of the coupling section. The flange section includes an outer circumferential surface and a first positioning portion formed at the outer circumferential surface. The rotatable upper stage lock element includes a peripheral wall configured to rotatably mount on the flange section of the fastener body. A plurality of annularly spaced first and second grooves are formed in the coupling section and in an outer peripheral surface of the peripheral wall, respectively, so that a plurality of the first and second grooves can be aligned to define a key receiving surface by rotating the rotatable upper stage lock element. The design has good anti-theft effects. | 07-24-2014 |

20110087518 | Method for quantifying the relative value of movies prior to spending substantial amounts of money on full production thereof - This invention relates to methods for quantifying the relative value of a movie concept, script, treatment or other representation of a movie prior to spending substantial amounts of money on fully producing it. The decisions to make major investments in large budget movies and smaller investments in mid sized budget movies, and even to make what might be considered comparatively minor investments, such as by indie filmmakers—although not necessarily minor investments to the indie filmmakers—in what are small budget movies, are greatly enhanced by a method that allows for some quantitative feedback on the potential for success of a movie before the bulk of the investment in its full production is made. The present invention provides such methods, and does so through the use of “investment trailers,” or “ITs”, a movie trailer that is different from ones used to promote a movie after it has been produced. The purpose of ITs is to create a vehicle, at a very low price, that can be placed on the internet for viewing. By monitoring various market metrics, such as the numbers of views for each IT, and collecting data on the market performance of those movies that are ultimately produced and distributed, one can create a basis for comparison with future movies to allow for data-supported predictions about the potential for success of a given movie, and do so very fast, very inexpensively and reasonably accurately. | 04-14-2011 |

20120138152 | Tubular Array for Fluidic Focusing with Integrated Optical Access Region - An apparatus for creating sheathed flow includes an inlet section comprising an array of tubes including at least one sheath inlet port and a sample inlet port, a flow focusing section downstream from the inlet section, an optical access section downstream from the flow focusing region and comprising opposing flat surfaces, and an outlet section downstream from the optical access section, wherein the apparatus is operable to create a sheathed flow around a fluid introduced into the sample inlet port and to maintain the sheathed flow through the optical access section. Applications of the apparatus and method include bead/particle counting, flow cytometry, waveguiding, and fluid control. | 06-07-2012 |
20120273054 | Method of Changing Fluid Flow by Using an Optical Beam - The application of an optical beam redirects sheathed micro-fluidic flow without direct interaction with the sample. The hydrodynamic properties of the sheath are locally modified due to optical absorption and heating, resulting in a spatial shift of the sample flow. The technique can result in up to 100 μm shift at peak flow velocities of 19 mm/sec. | 11-01-2012 |
20130010301 | Microwave Photonic True-Time-Delay - A true time delay system and method for an optical carrier signal modulated with a microwave signal. The system includes a beam deflector, with the optical signal being imaged onto the beam deflector, a stationary reflective diffractive grating arranged in a Littrow configuration, a focusing element arranged between the beam deflector and the stationary reflective diffractive grating. In operation, the beam deflector steers the optical beam across the clear aperture of the focusing element and the focusing element transmits the steered beam to the reflective diffractive grating. A change in optical path length experienced by the optical beam as the beam is scanned across the grating surface results in a relative phase delay in the optical beam. The beam deflector can be a rotating mirror, an acousto-optic beam deflector, or an electro-optic beam deflector. The focusing element can be a lens or a curved mirror. | 01-10-2013 |
20140105554 | Reconfigurable Liquid Metal Fiber Optic Mirror - A true time delay system for optical signals includes a hollow core optical waveguide, a droplet of reflective liquid metal disposed in the hollow core, and an actuator coupled to a first end of the waveguide to move the droplet longitudinally within the hollow core. In one example, the waveguide is a hollow core photonic bandgap fiber. In one example, the actuator is a pressure actuator that introduces or removes gas into the core. Light enters the optical fiber, is transmitted through the fiber toward the reflective surface of the droplet, and is reflected back through the fiber and exits at the same end of the photonic bandgap optical fiber that it entered. The fiber optic device can provide a continuously-variable optical path length of over 3.6 meters (corresponding to a continuously-variable true-time delay of over 12 ns, or 120 periods at a 10 GHz modulation frequency), with negligible wavelength dependence across the C and L bands. | 04-17-2014 |
