| 20120094692 | Methods and Apparatus for Mobile Station Location Estimation - Methods and apparatus for estimating mobile station location include receiving reported signal strengths or other attachment indicator values from a mobile station. The reported signal strengths are compared with characteristic received signal strength values in a coverage area of a mobile network. A mobile switching center determines if a local function is requested and initiates a location estimation process by a mobile location module (MLM). The MLM receives the reported signal strength contours associated with the attachment points. Based on a comparison of the reported attachment indicator values with characteristic values, the MLM provides a mobile location estimate. | 04-19-2012 |

| 20120110787 | IMPLEMENT HANDLE WITH ERGONOMIC GRIP PROVIDING ROTATIONAL LEVERAGE - An implement, handle has its axially elongate body widened proximal to its attachment end to define a thumb rest that provides leverage for axial rotation and turning of the implement, such as a cooking pan or skillet. The elongate body may be in the form of an elastomer sleeve fitted over a rigid shaft, wherein the shaft may have an attached metal cross-plate or integral crossbar to add mechanical strength to the thumb rest. | 05-10-2012 |

| 20120319011 | MERCURY UV LAMP WITH IMPROVED ACTINIC SPECTRUM - A low-pressure mercury or amalgam lamp with praseodymium (Pr) doped particles of lanthanum phosphate converts 185 nm radiation to UV-C (186 nm-280 nm). For water purification, a plurality of low-pressure mercury or amalgam lamps with phosphor that convert 185 nm radiation to UV-C (186 nm-280 nm) may be used. A method for photolysis of nitroso dimethyl amine (NDMA) may include passing electrical current through a low pressure mercury or amalgam lamp, radiating 254 nm radiation through the lamp envelope into water containing the NDMA, converting 185 nm radiation within the lamp into 230 nm-240 nm radiation within the lamp via a phosphor within the lamp, and radiating the 230-240 nm radiation through the lamp envelope and into the water containing the NDMA, with the radiation from the lamp photolysizing the NDMA. | 12-20-2012 |

| 20090006394 | Systems and methods for validating an address - Systems, methods, and software determine whether a field of an input digital representation of information, such as the street name field in an address, is correct by quickly comparing the field to a list of valid choices for that field. The list of valid choices is generated based on information from the input digital representation, such as a character string. If an exact match is not found, a fuzzy match comparison determines the most closely matching valid choice. If a suitable fuzzy match is not found, then the input information is invalid. Otherwise, another field of the input information, such as the building number field of an address, is tested for validity. If the second field passes the validity check, then the fuzzy match (or exact match) for the field is valid. A fuzzy matching field may replace the input field, thereby correcting the input information. | 01-01-2009 |
| 20110213727 | Residential Delivery Indicator - This invention provides methods, apparatus, and systems for classifying addresses. An address is evaluated based upon a postal code or standardized postal code, such as a U.S. Postal Service ZIP+4 code, serving the address. If the address cannot be classified based on the standardized postal code, the address is classified based on additional information, such as a U.S. Postal Service delivery point code. A mailer may then determine whether the address is a business or residential (or non-business) address. Furthermore, a mailer may predict when surcharges may apply and compare the rates of various carriers. | 09-01-2011 |
| 20120323963 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR APPLYING SECONDARY INFORMATION TO BUSINESS ADDRESSES - Systems and methods are provided for determining secondary address information. In one implementation, a method is provided that uses a data processing apparatus. According to the method, a code word is created for a business name and a building default extended delivery code. A data table is searched using the code word and secondary address information is revealed when a match is found between the code word and data stored in the data table. | 12-20-2012 |

| 20100138389 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR UPDATING A DATA STORE USING A TRANSACTION STORE - Embodiments include systems and methods for updating a data store in a distributed data store system. In one embodiment, a previous version of a data store is compared to an updated version of the data store in order to create a transaction store. The transaction store may include a cryptographic hash indicative of the previous version of the data store and a cryptographic hash indicative of the updated version of the data store. The transaction store further indicates data differences between the previous and updated versions of the data stores. The transaction store may then be used to update data stores at other locations. | 06-03-2010 |

| 20100119348 | PALLET DISPENSER - A pallet dispenser includes a frame adapted to support a stack of pallets. The frame includes four screws with spiral flights. The pallets rest on the top edge of the spiral flights of the screws. Rotation of the screws then lowers the stack and allows the bottom pallet to drop to a support below the screws. | 05-13-2010 |
