| 20120279180 | HIGH-FLOW, LOW-VELOCITY GAS FLUSHING SYSTEM FOR REDUCING AND MONITORING OXYGEN CONTENT IN PACKAGED PRODUCE CONTAINERS - A system for reducing oxygen in a package of produce product using a lance manifold. The lance manifold has a first end adapted to receive an input gas flow and a second end adapted for placement in a partially-enclosed cavity containing the produce product. The second end of the lance manifold includes a plurality of exit ports adapted to produce an output gas flow and a sampling port for taking an air sample from the partially-enclosed cavity. The system also includes an oxygen analyzer for detecting oxygen content of gas inside the partially-enclosed cavity using the sampling port. The system is configured to produce an output gas flow with the following properties: a substantially oxygen-free composition; a flow rate of at least 100 standard cubic feet per hour (SCFH); and a flow direction substantially 90 degrees to a cavity opening of the partially-enclosed cavity. | 11-08-2012 |

| 20100303335 | Methods for Determining Inconsistency Characteristics of a Composite Structure - Methods for determining an inconsistency characteristic of a composite structure, such as inconsistency density-per-unit area. In one implementation, a method is disclosed for determining an inconsistency characteristic of a composite structure. The method involves determining a first distance from a first reference point of the composite structure to an inconsistency; determining a second distance from a second reference point of the composite structure to the inconsistency; using the first and second distances to establish a reference area of the composite structure; and considering each inconsistency detected within the reference area and producing therefrom an inconsistency characteristic representative of the composite structure. | 12-02-2010 |

| 20100236161 | LIFTING SYSTEM AND APPARATUS FOR CONSTRUCTING AND ENCLOSING WIND TURBINE TOWERS - An apparatus and method for mounting a wind turbine and blade assembly on the upper end of a wind turbine tower. In one aspect the apparatus generally includes a ginpole that is used to assemble the tower and a lifting frame or truss that is removably secured to a top bay assembly of the tower using the ginpole. The lifting frame or truss is operated using either cables or hydraulic rams and extends fore of the tower when the frame or truss is in a first position and generally above the tower when in a second position. When in the first position, a wind turbine or blade assembly can be hoisted to the top of the tower. The wind turbine or blade assembly is then moved into position for mounting to the tower as the frame or truss is pivoted to a second position. When the turbine and blade assembly are secured to the tower, the frame or truss is disconnected from the tower and lowered to the ground followed by the ginpole being lowered to the ground. | 09-23-2010 |

| 20110289710 | Curved Bath Brush - The present invention relates generally to a bath brush, and more specifically to a bath brush having a curved portion to aid older people or people of limited flexibility due to surgery or other causes in washing their back or lower body without raising their arms or bending over. The bath brush comprises an elongated member having a straight handle on one end and a curved portion on the other end; and a plurality of bristles surrounding the curved portion forming a cylindrical brush. Due to the large curve, a user can hold the brush in front of them and wash their back without raising their arms. They can also wash their legs and the feet as well without bending over. | 12-01-2011 |
