20140037381 | MODULAR, DYNAMICALLY SIZED AND SHAPED, INDUSTRIAL-LIQUID-CONTAINMENT SYSTEM AND METHODS OF USE - What is disclosed is a portable, modular, and dynamically sized and shaped, above-ground, industrial liquid-containment system. Typically, the system has an outer-containment perimeter and an inner-containment perimeter (a reservoir), thus providing two barriers for environmental protection. A reservoir is comprised of a plurality of substantially A-framed segments that are hinged at the top and allows for folding together when the center and bottom braces are removed. A key feature for the A-frame segments is in their lack of steel cladding on the water side of most A-frames segments. Instead, fabric and/or cargo netting is used because it reduces weight and grips the A-frame purlins as the weight of contained liquids exert stabilizing downward force on A-frames. In addition, a steel grid system can run along the reservoir floor to compensate for expansion forces due to both temperature and water-weight. | 02-06-2014 |

20110090988 | APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR QAM MODULATION USING DUAL POLAR MODULATION - Apparatus and methods for QAM modulation are disclosed using dual polar modulation. QAM modulation of a signal is accomplished by translating a QAM signal into two phasors having the same or constant amplitude and then phase shifting one of the phasor by 180 degrees for a differential load. The phasors are then polar modulated such that, when differentially combined in the load through summation or superposition, a QAM modulated symbol results. The use of constant amplitude phasors when power amplified for transmission of QAM modulated signals allows amplifiers to be operated in a saturation mode with greater efficiency than conventional amplifiers used in QAM modulation, which operate in a less efficient linear mode to effect amplitude modulation. Additionally, differential combining of the phasors affords relaxation of the turns of a transformer used in amplifying the phasors. | 04-21-2011 |

Detector materials and dimensions may have comparable Compton scattering and photoelectric absorption probabilities, so scattered photons have a high probability of escape from the detector in which the initial interaction occurs, while being absorbed in adjacent detectors. Energy information from coincident interactions between two detectors defines a bearing plane that contains the radiation source; by comparing these interactions in two non-parallel directions, the source is localized to a line representing the intersection of two bearing planes. Energies may be summed to determine the initial photon energy. The array may be of a single detector type or an arrangement of different detector types. The array may be a stationary, planar configuration of at least three detectors, or a linear array of at least two detectors that is rotatable within a selected plane. | 02-23-2012 |

20090288998 | Water separating fuel filter with limited removal capability for a water detecting sensor - A water separating fuel filter is provided with a sensor at its bottom portion which is not removable in a direction away from the housing structure of the filter mechanism. In other words, if the sensor is removable at all, it must be removed in a direction which requires the sensor to move through the cavity of the housing structure of the filter while preventing an internal end of the sensor from passing in a direction away from the cavity and through a portion of the wall of the housing structure through which the sensor extends during operation. This eliminates the likelihood of a sensor being inadvertently removed from the housing structure and not properly replaced prior to subsequent operation of a fuel system of an internal combustion engine. This, in turn, prevents the condition wherein an opening at the bottom portion of the fuel filter housing structure can allow liquid fuel to flow from the fuel system into the bilge of a watercraft. | 11-26-2009 |

20100037240 | Non Intrusive Application Mechanism - An application integration mechanism may identify and use user interface controls to connect to an application. The integration mechanism may provide a programmatic environment for integrating data received and transmitted between different applications, as well as controlling the operation of the various applications. A general interface type may be defined for various applications and a metadata definition may be used by the interface type to bind specific controls to various identifiers such as friendly names. Within the integration mechanism, a set of automations may be defined to process data received from one application and transfer the processed data to another application with or without user interaction. | 02-11-2010 |

20150092753 | HIGH PRECISION ACCESS POINT TO ACCESS POINT SYNCHRONIZATION IN AN INDOOR POSITION LOCATION SYSTEM - Methods, systems, and devices are described that provide for high precision synchronization between pairs of APs within a tracking area of a position location network. These tools and techniques may provide for incrementally synchronizing timers and oscillators located at respective APs. An AP may transmit a course frequency and timing acquisition signal that a second AP utilizes to estimate a frequency offset and/or time offset. The AP may transmit a subsequent fine frequency and timing acquisition signal which may be used to accurately adjust the estimated frequency offset and/or time offset of the second AP. The second AP may thus incrementally synchronize its oscillator(s) and/or timer(s). These techniques may be utilized over a multi-hop wireless network. The methods, systems, and devices may be applicable to single- and multi-floor location tracking systems. | 04-02-2015 |

20110231889 | SECURITY POLICY AS QUERY PREDICATE - A method, system, and computer usable program product for applying a security policy as a query predicate. A query is received. The query is a request for data directed to a data repository executing in a data processing system. The security policy is identified, the security policy being a security policy applicable to the query. A predicate that corresponds to the security policy is determined. The query is modified to include the predicate. The modified query is sent to the data repository. | 09-22-2011 |
